World News@lemmy.world•11 EU countries demand end to 'obstructive' vetoes on foreign policyEnglish
2·3 days agoSounds like you want the EU to collapse like the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The history of vetoes is very interesting.

World News@lemmy.world•Trump administration plans $4 million for right-wing media in Europe, sources sayEnglish
11·3 days ago$4M is nothing. That’s like 50 bloggers in western Europe, or one regional rag with no readers. Or a Twitter troll farm in Hungary with 100 totally real humans and their handlers getting rich siphoning most of it off for themselves. A literal drop in the bucket.
The US has been funding foreign media for a century at least, steering narratives. It was part of their soft power strategy. This isn’t surprising. Where people are freaking out is due to the shift in alignment.

Technology@lemmy.world•Google Has Removed Manifest V2 Extensions From the Chrome Web Store, Including uBlock OriginEnglish
2·3 days agoThe irony is that Chrome’s rendering engine was a fork of WebKit, which was a fork of KHTML, a free and open source rendering engine created by KDE for Konqueror. They basically took something free, used Microsoft’s “embrace, extend, extinguish” tactics on it. Now KHTML is vestigial, only found in the UserAgent string.
But we could have had a truly free open source cross platform browser with Konqueror.
Best we have now is Firefox, but the bulk of Mozilla’s development funding comes from setting Google as the default search. So it is also hijackable.

21·3 days agoI think it was still called Phoenix when I originally dropped it. Before it got renamed Firefox. Came back around last year after adblock stuff in chrome finally chased me away.
I’m in this comic and I don’t like it.
Canada. China. Point still stands ;)
Same way you teach a child. Start with basic nouns and verbs and use them in context. Demonstrate and interact and repeat.

News@lemmy.world•Artemis II astronauts rocket towards the moon after breaking free of Earth’s orbit
221·5 months agoTechnically correct. But it is still a departure burn into another sphere of influence. So you can forgive the quibble. There’s nothing else massive enough in Earth’s orbit to do a free return trajectory around. Or an orbital insertion burn into. And technically lunar orbit is still an earth orbit, but no one would ever use the word that way when in a lunar orbit.
But, yeah, technically ;)

2·5 months agoLinux is as buggy as you want it to be. If you’re using Gentoo or Arch in production (and aren’t Valve) and are recompiling kernels cause you read a tomshardware article about a scheduler… Then yeah 😀

Music@lemmy.world•ROSALÍA - Berghain (Live at The BRIT Awards 2026) ft. BjörkEnglish
3·6 months agoI honestly don’t know where else to post this. The first an only live performance of this track. Knocks my fucking socks off.
1991 Ford S10 pickup, on the farm, when I was 8 years old. I only crashed it on the farm once – in first gear, stopped. Took foot off clutch and lurched forward into the wall in front of me. In my defense, I hadn’t been instructed on how to turn it off yet ;)
