We knew Starmer would be worse than Corbyn, but boy this shit has been embarrassing.

If it got great WiFi reception, that would be a killer.

BBC being incredibly generous here.

If Iran is developing nuclear weapons, the time to do a test detonation would be before America+Israel turn it into another failed state.

Elbows up, buddy!

💯

The Commission has since acknowledged that national budgets would need to be cut elsewhere to accommodate rising defense costs — a tough political sell in countries whose citizens are more preoccupied with migration and climate change than Russian tanks.

This is just about how the money is delivered. If it’s sent as national debt, and the debt caps stay in place, that necessitates counterproductive cuts. If the money is in the form of grants, no cuts would be necessary since there’s spare capacity in the EU economy. The EC should get their shit together and just do that instead of forcing austerity that hurts growth. Not hopeful with the current boss.

Translation:

Big Social is unsurprisingly winning the competition for individuals’ attention.

Uhm, those Muslims are an ocean and a continent away. I think this is similar with hating Jews while supporting Israel.

The reasons for opposing becoming the 51st state were loss of Canadian identity, culture and sovereignty at 81 per cent, the difference in health care systems at 68 per cent, concerns over safety with the differences in gun laws and the legal system at 60 per cent, and concern over U.S. politics and governance just below with 58 per cent.

Fellow canucks looking out for our material conditions.

Yes same, I see they’ve gotten a positive result so I assume there’s a process, I just don’t understand it.

OK, so if I understand this correctly, they don’t train the immune system to target these sugars, since they’re used by human cells. Instead, they remove them during the vaccine administration so the immune system can train on the bare spike protein. Cool. Now how would this help when new virus copies come in with sugar-coated proteins, some time after the sugar stripping agent is gone from the system?

Probably prison staff.

Yeah, that’s all there’s to it, along with pure ignorance. In a past not so ideologically developed life, I’ve written code under Apache 2 because it was “more free.” Understanding licenses, their implications, the ideologies behind them and their socioeconomic effects isn’t trivial. People certainly aren’t born educated in those, and often they reach for the code editor before that.

Great. So he wouldn’t mind of the EU rearms its defensive capabilities a bit.

Fucking hell.

True but Big Social would have many orders of magnitude more lawsuits to deal with. I guess it might still not matter.

Well, luckily many large Lemmy instances are outside the US. 😂

Isn’t this a death knell for Big Social Media?

I meant that they no longer need Google’s funding, however if Chrome becomes Mozilla, Google would have a real need to pay Mozilla to stay the default engine in Chrome.

They could sell it for $1 if they wanted to.

Also I think Mozilla is self sustainable from investment income from its endowment. Could be wrong.
