Captain Szilveszter Pálinkás, Hungarian Army officer:
What causes me difficulty is understanding which side this government is choosing. It portrays Ukraine as an enemy, while in reality, in this military conflict, Ukraine is a victim, because Russia attacked Ukraine. This is common knowledge.

To be fair it did so.
Like, 5-10 years and a troop surge or two later, depending on your exact definition of calming down, but still... 😶

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies.
For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

After almost twenty years on the platform, EFF is logging off of X.
This isn’t a decision we made lightly, but it might be overdue. 🧵 (1/5)

New from 404 Media: the FBI was able to extract incoming Signal messages from a phone even though the app was deleted. Why? Because parts of messages were stored in the iPhone's internal notification database. Shows how secure chat data can come from unexpected places www.404media.co/fbi-extracts-suspects-deleted-signal-messages-saved-in-iphone-notification-database-2/

Fun fact, maintaining the naval blockade through the armistice until the final peace treaty was signed was also what the Allies did to Germany after WWI, so there's real precedent for.

Kun olen viime aikoina julkisesti kritisoinut työeläkejärjestelmää, niin todettakoon, että siinä on minusta useita hyviäkin piirteitä.
Tässä niistä ehkä kv. vertailussa tärkeimpiä: 1/7

1/ Has Iran managed to reinvent the Sound Dues – the tolls that Denmark imposed for over 400 years on ships entering the Baltic Sea? Recent ship movements suggest that rather than completely blocking the Strait of Hormuz, Iran is monetising it instead. ⬇️

The European attitude is increasingly this. The damage done to the transatlantic relationship is immense.

Työeläkejärjestelmä luo suuria tulonsiirtoja sekä eri sukupolvien välille että niiden sisällä. Minusta on outoa ajatella, että niistä päättäminen kuuluisi ulkoparlamentaarisille etujärjestöille. 1/9

If this #Iran #peace plan floating around online is an accurate basis for discussions, it reads more like US surrender than anything.
I'm glad if this stupid, unnecessary war is over, but this may be a huge victory for the detestable, brutal theocratic Iranian regime too. And I can't say I like it.

Four months ago, Senator Mark Kelly and five other Democratic members of Congress issued a video explaining emphatically that illegal orders must be refused by every service member up and down the chain.
Today, we see exactly why they did so.

Ca Gov Gavin Newsom: “The Vice President is abroad campaigning for a dictator.
“The President is threatening to wipe out an entire civilization.
“Congress is on recess.
“This is a total collapse of American moral leadership — at a historic scale.”

I have very mixed feelings about the United States. On the one hand, they are working to send humankind to the moon and beyond. On the other hand, they are threatening to wipe out an ancient civilization whose leaders they are unable to negotiate with.

Trump's tweets... I knew those had a familiar ring to them! The question is now: What does the rest of the world do this time if the United States follows through in its threats?

That man is not fit to be president. His kind is found in a pub late at night, when people are drunk and a quarrel breaks out.

Meddling in domestic politics of European countries to get the far-right elected is the stated foreign policy of the current U.S. regime.

I had a realisation
Context: In our Reclaiming AI paper we argued that AI systems cannot scale up to human-level cognition without consuming astronomical amounts of resources
My realisation: The AI industry is determined to burn through the earth’s resources just to prove us right *empirically*

Sitä vasten, kuinka paljon ukrainalaiset ovat joutuneet kärsimän Venäjän hyökkäyksestä maahan, tuntuu aika kohtuuttomalta muiden maiden vaatimus, että älkää tehkö kiusaa venäläisille, jottei bensan hinta nousisi.

“National boundaries are not evident when we view the Earth from space. Fanatic ethnic or religious… identifications are a little difficult to support when we see our planet as a fragile blue crescent fading to become an inconspicuous point of light against the bastion and citadel of the stars.”
