I was kinda hyped to see what would happen with those tariffs. I really want the US to be isolated and the rest of the world to kick them out. We are at month 3 out of 48 and this is not the time to show any sort of weakness or compassion with the Trump administration. Really it should be us that imposes tariff sanctions on them until they reinstate human rights principles.
yelling and finger-pointing at the CEO before a live audience of thousands of attendees
oh nooo not finger pointing, thats so outrageous, unlike killing thousands of children
and making hostile, unprovoked, and highly inappropriate accusations against the CEO, the Company and Microsoft generally
the truth cant be hostile or inappropriate and the accusations were certainly not unprovoked
You cant run Uber in the EU in the same way they do in the US, because we have actual labor laws. The laws for the digital tech sector have simply not caught up with the pace of the industry, thats why they are so easily exploitable.
These companies dont treat commercial customers any better than normal users. They undergo the same process of:
lower prices to get customers > buy up competition > lobby politcians to protect their grift > raise prices and lower service quality as much as possible without losing the customer
Im sick rn and this immediately made me feel better, so it really is true that thicc thighs save lives.
You are actively throwing away the persons life when you call the police on them.
They are, but have you tried convincing people to use lemmy? Its the same problem.
Is the PoE 2 tutorial boss any harder than the PoE 1 tutorial boss? Because if not, then thats actually crazy.
The world is as big as your eyes can see huh? The only reality that can possible exist is the current one? There are no people other than yourself? How small minded can a person be?
it would take months and months of unplanned intense effort and money
You know how much it costs EU taxpayers and customers to pay for the usage and licensing of US tech? Its absolutely absurd and most companies here are fed up with it. They will take any good alternative if its presented to them in a trustworthy manner.
The move to cloud based stuff was mostly vibes and marketing based. On prem has been shown to be cheaper, more reliable, more secure, more flexible.
Yup. Ignore all the buzzwords in this lol https://euro-stack.eu/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/EuroStack_2025.pdf
The EU has been funding and pushing for locally run tech for a while. Matrix is increasingly becoming the base layer for all public sector communications for example. The biggest thing holding back locally developed stuff is just the easy availability of US based solutions. Take that out of the equation and people will just switch to the next best thing, which is usually not much of a downgrade.
Nah. They have been preparing for this for years. There are ready to use replacement for most of the really important pieces of software. This would be the big push that was always needed to get technological independence from the US.
Either tariff all big tech companies or just outright ban them from being allowed in the public sector. If you ban amazon, microsoft, google, meta, etc then the US economy will be in shambles. Big techs revenue is like ~10% of the total US GDP.
Yep this will make Trump look like an even bigger idiot, because he wont agree. So not a bad move at all probably.
I understand that their motivation is to suppress opposition. What im saying is that banning tiktok wont have that effect, but the opposite. Im saying the opposition will actually benefit from moving to a different, more neutral platform in response to this ban.
Trying to fight for attention on a biased platform like tiktok is a waste of energy. Its like swimming upstream.
Thats exactly when you should do it tho…
Opposition politicians in Albania, civil society members, and journalists who spoke to iMEdD argue that Prime Minister Edi Rama’s real objective is to silence government critics and manipulate the upcoming elections in May.
We know that TikTok is being used to manipulate elections in favor of right wing parties on a global scale. Why the fuck would you not ban it is the question? It doesnt matter if some left wing stuff gets taken down by that as a side effect, because right wing stuff will always have more viewership on it. The net outcome of banning tiktok is always in favor of left wing voices.

coq = cock = rooster they are pronounced basically the same, but coq doesnt mean cock as in penis afaik
If you wanna look into it, the term you need to search for is “life cycle assessment”.
This is a kind of report usually by some kind of government agency that creates a very detailed list of materials and energy required to manufacture, transport, install, operate and maintain an installation.
This is then compared against existing electricity production systems that will be replaced by the new one to calculate how long it takes to make up the initial cost both monetarily and emissions wise.
The resulting time frame will drastically vary depending on the supply chain, location, grid capacity, storage capacity and such. The following is a plot from the linked study which combines results from many different studies. They typical lifetime of one of these turbines is 20 years, so you are looking at a ~20x payback factor if it replaces fossil generation (coal/gas/etc).
Yeah that makes sense that those would break. Its quite aggressive, but most standard smd components dont care. Its even kind of a good QC test in my experience, because if anything wasnt attached properly it will get detached in there.
Not even a joke at this point. If ICE takes your family member you should expect them to be tortured. What point is there in being alive, if that just happens and you do nothing but watch.
