I have lived in NL for a few years now but never got used to EU sizes - still keep ordering wrong, keep returning stuff. Couldn't find an app that wasn't stuffed with ads. Couldn't use google when i didn't have connectivity. apps.apple.com/us/app/what-size/id6757195133

Jeff Bezos and his wife are the lead sponsors of tonight's Met Gala. Now seems like a good time to remind folks of all the ways Bezos is shafting American consumers and Amazon workers — and how his wealth is putting our democracy at risk. https://www.commondreams.org/opinion/amazon-ceo-jeff-bezos

How the Tech World Turned Evil Once upon a time, they were counterculture idealists bringing power to the people. Today they’re greedy monopolists who’d sooner destroy our democracy than be reined in by government in any way — and they have to be stopped.

Palantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible. They’re so arrogant and self-confident they don’t seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed. We must get rid of Palantir altogether. twitter-thread.com/t/2045574398...

If anyone can recommend some decent models let me know- different use cases different strengths

Not just Americans. Being repackaged for everyone.

America not being a signatory to a number of treaties does not mean that international law does not exist. The US is conducting clear war crimes, and boasting about it. They should be treated as a pariah state. They definitely shouldn't be getting a Royal visit.

Don’t get me wrong my Mac mini m4 is a thing of beauty - will I veer towards Apple after seeing them cosy up to the orange one? Prob not. Won’t be an iPhone next time and will decouple from rest of ecosystem slowly.

You know USA is closer to Russia via Alaska. But Greenland makes an ideal launch platform for Europe. Hmmmm.

I’ve been bothering NATO officials for over 2 years with one Q: what will happen if NATO member attacks another NATO member? No answer. Well, soon they’ll have to show us what this, in fact, means.

Hitler was living on a cocktail of drugs too.. just saying.. I mean ..moving space force was that it?

Sounds like a typical bully move we’d see in the USA.. straight outta the playbook go tell em to feck off

Kent County Council staff soon received a threatening letter from Kemkaran, Farage & Zia Yusuf, demanding they co-operate with cost-cutting or face disciplinary action. But neither Farage nor Yusuf have any legal status as far as Kent County Council is concerned.
