My bad, let me change the title. Thanks for pointing it out!

 

The Commission welcomes the provisional agreement reached yesterday between the European Parliament and the Council on its initiative to modernising EU driving licence rules.

@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu are you trying to become the USA? Deregulation will make us just like them! Don't undo all the good work you did!

I'd like them to make an example of all the big US tech companies. Fine GAFAM and then use it to make competing opensource products. Oh, how would that be sweet!

"Don't meddle in US politics"

Meddles in everybody else's politics, judiciary, economy,... everything.

If you have any questions for them, they're on the fediverse too! @tuxedocomputers@linuxrocks.online

Whether enough people see it is one thing. Whether enough people are motivated by it, is another. But it's great that they are talking about it. Pity they only mention reddit.

Youtube is definitely a difficult one to get away from. The fediverse just doesn't like monetisation which is needed for creators to be able to make a living. Somehow it just doesn't seem to get through the skulls of fediversians that people do need money to do things in this world (and also that monetisation does not mean ads).

 

Linux hardware, notebooks, computers and more. Individually manufactured in Germany, fully Linux-compatible, Windows too, of course

They're on the fediverse too! @tuxedocomputers

Really depends on the skin color of the person visiting and where they are visiting in that country. A non-white visiting most West-European cities will be mostly fine, but if they go out to the country-side, things can be very different.

I watched a documentary of an Indian boy adopted to a Swiss family who then went back to India to visit. He had a terrible time in Switzerland due to racism and nearly as an awful time in India, because he couldn't speak the language and people thus assumed he was a Pakistani spy.

Wordpress supports federation. Or are you looking for something else?

He didn't say where he's going to next 🤔 Could've been the chance to promote the fediverse. Although, I imagine he's probably not aware of it.

The right-wingers are such a bunch of pansies. They don't want justice, only power. If there were calls to punish the judge, those people should be arrested for attempting to incite violence.

These people talk about violent and dangerous left-wingers, but they are just projecting.

 

Initial petition

Important part of @EUCommission's response:

Conclusion

While there is currently no formal project to establish an "EU Linux," there are many ongoing
initiatives that support the adoption of open source solutions within public administrations
across Member States. These efforts contribute to the EU’s broader objectives of transparency,
security, and technological independence in the digital domain.

 

For those who missed it @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu's investigation against #Malus for non-compliance of the #DMA are going to hit a year in 2 months! Hopefully after a year they'll have a result...

AltStore is an alternative app store that allows EU users to install apps from different sources. It is opensource.

The privacy policy indicates it's main office is in the US

AltStore, LLC.
4130 BOWSER AVE.
DALLAS, TX 75219
UNITED STATES

However, I consider it to be a good first step away from the AppStore because it's opensource. Others are very welcome to suggest real EU alternative app store for the iPhone.

 

Trump has slashed education funding, meaning many US universities are facing hiring freezes and budget constraints. Economist Monika Schnitzer speaks to DW's Marie Sina about the opportunities for German universities and research institutions to tempt academics and scientists to cross the pond.

I think this is related to Europe as it may try to take advantage of the current situation in the US to its advantage. This one focuses on Germany.

 

There are a few US websites that allow you to upload your art and then it can be sold as a poster, postcard, on a cup, t-shirt, etc. all on the same website.

Is there something like that that is European? At least for posters...

 

I haven't been able to find one. Neither for signal nor anywhere else. Does one exist and I just can't find it? Or should we crowdsource one together?

 

Signal, Telegram, and I think even Whatsapp have stickerpacks. Does anybody know a stickerpack for this cause? If not, we could crowdsource a stickerpack :)

 

Immigration attorneys have begun advising people to ensure their social media profiles are free of criticism of the US administration to increase their chances of entering the country.

"Free speech."

"Most free country in the world."

Do not visit the US. You may be the next to be detained.
