I’m think that things like ground.news could be useful. It’s Canadian

To show the different sides to a story.

P.S thank you for making me aware of who owns Euronews. Kinda sad that it got this far.

Before I read, my guess is it won’t be asking for Google to keep Chrome (because of that sweet sweet Google money), but won’t be a really anti-Google blog entry. Presumably very wishy-washy.

Now I’ll read it and see how off I was.

Lol, she’s more concerned about the Google millions they get every year. Pathetic. The blog entry is a wishy-washy as I expected it to be. Maybe even more pro-Google than I expected, but she tread a fine line to not be so obvious about how desperate she is for that million dollar paycheck the search engine deal nets her. Again, it’s pathetic.

A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

This isn’t an open-ended question

It’s all just comics. Fine by me

“Free speech absolutists” trying to limit the free speech of others. Classic.

Thanks! That makes sense and is easier to digest than a wikipedia article :)

Lemmy is so technical. I now have to look up what DNS is.

~~What’s the name for this type of news just meant to anger? But if it makes us dislike the US more, maybe I’m for it? ~~

After reading the article, he is right. The title is just shit

US Vice President JD Vance called on Europe to show greater independence in an interview published on Tuesday, urging countries not to be “US vassals.”

We should stop being US vassals.

Even bolder to assume those fictional children would even want children.

Von der Leyen affirmed in the article published on Tuesday that US weapons, which could be technically disabled from Washington, could still be purchased.

What the hell is wrong with you? Did some US lobbyist promise to depose a few million into her offshore accounts?

I was rage-baited. Instead, my reaction should’ve been: what can we do? Should we send her emails? Toot at her or the @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu ? How do we make it clear to her that it’s extremely unwise to let the US into the military supply chain of the EU?

Probably hasn’t heard of the fediverse…

I think it’ll be more difficult to fake and account of the European commission for example as the domain cannot be captured. An official instance or person will have @officialdomain.eu or something. And mastodon doesn’t have downvotes.

As for bot instances, those could be blocked by other instances. It wouldn’t surprise me if government instances implemented a blocklist or a functionality to only allow communication or interactions with approved instances. There is a lot that governments will be able to do, but with Xitter, Facebook, and so on, they first have to debate thing, tell the site to do something, go through the appeals process, and so on. Owning the instances would allow them to take action much more quickly.

Sucking orange dick, that’s where they are.

The EU should be promoting the shit out of opensource platforms and dumping millions into them both for content and development.

Subsidise media made by companies wholely owned by Europeans and add a clause forcing them to distribute on European platforms that host in the EU and are made available all across the EU without geoblocking. Massively promote those EU platforms on foreign social media (which is pretty much all we have at the moment) e.g pay for ads on youtube, insta, tiktok, and so on to “watch this on peertube” or whatever else EUropean we have.

Also, what a shit headline. It’s not pointless, it’s one of the many things Europe has to do. Stop expecting perfection. Doing something is better than nothing, but you have to start somewhere instead of planning for perfection and never starting.

“I’m fine with our historical support despite the genocide.” It’s like “I don’t care that Microsoft and Google use my money to undermine my democracy and make software to bomb brown people, at least their products are shiny”.

Germany… what have they voted for FFS? Why are they so ardently supporting genoci- oh… now I get it.

Being anti-zionist =/= being anti-semitic. You’re good.

Same. I couldn’t tell you what the notification sounds of any apps sound like.

Symlinked? Clone community? Instance post?

Dude, what?

I dont see the issue

The issue is you’ve thought about this, made up terms that make sense in your head on the path to your conclusion, and have just jumped ahead to conclusion when posting instead of taking others along the same path. I could also go “stirling sticks are superior to warble sticks, isn’t it obvious? The stirling stick is multi-faceted in its use, but the warble stick can only be used for consistent ‘viscosity’. I don’t see the issue”.

Crossposting doesnt even work

What do you mean? Many posts have “crossposted from” in their description or as part of the page. Mbin shows all other crossposts and in the default lemmy GUI you can click through the crosspost chain.

there should be a post type so that all content is read-only and the interactions (likes, comments) are redirected to the original post

That’s just centralisation with extra steps. Also, imagine somebody is blocked from the original posting instance. Does that mean they can’t interact with the post at all?
