I understand that this sucks and I agree that we are not spending nearly enough on Ukraine but I wonder if the people yapping about this realise that the amount of aid given depends on the healt of donor economies and what happens to those economies if you just turn off the juice
Let's not forget who is sponsoring all of Russia's daily war crimes.
the amount of people trying to dunk on this post by yapping about uk laws is worrisome
Lots of people responding "they do have a point". They might have one, they might not - it doesn't matter because this is a pretence. Big tech is furious that the EU regulates their services and they're weaponising the US admin to break those regulations. That's what's happening.
you will never guess what he is quoting there
POV: u live in a monarchy
❗️The Russian Federation has significantly expanded and continues to expand the Shahed production plant in 🇷🇺Alabuga — CNN On the active expansion of the plant: ▪️There will be workshops and premises for employees. Over 8 new buildings have appeared in recent months. The number…
Schwarz is taking European sovereignty seriously - despite the massive costs. Lidl essentially had no experience in IT, but through smart investments and a steady hand they have managed to build a real alternative to Amazon and Microsoft - StackIT. schwarz-digits.de/en/whitepaper_…
You know who's taking a big bet on Europe 🇪🇺? Lidl. Lidl has taken on the mission to build European sovereignty with full force. Why a retailer is taking on Microsoft and Amazon - and what this means for Europe's future. A thread 🧵
This is genuinely shocking:
Musk ordered shutdown of Starlink satellite service as Ukraine retook territory from Russia A previously unreported order by Elon Musk to cut satellite communications over a portion of Ukraine disrupted a counteroffensive by Kyiv in the autumn of 2022. Reuters investigated the…
You are obviously correct, but I think this is a fundamentally wrong framing. It DOESN'T MATTER if they are right or not. Whether they have an ulterior motive or not. Our laws are not their business. They are not Europeans, they are foreigners. They can fuck off.
It would appear whatever stock of T-72Bs held UVZ at their own facilities, is now exhausted, as the Russians have restarted to take T-72Bs stored at the 1311th base to be refurbished at that factory. The stock probably won't last long, I estimate they pull ~20 per month.
As someone in tech, you’re absolutely correct here. That’s exactly what it is. Possible Russian influence as well.

In 2025, the EU is more popular than ever: 74% say their country benefits from the EU 74% support the euro 81% want a common EU defense From doubt to unity, Europeans are choosing strength through integration. The European idea has never been so alive. 🇪🇺 🇪🇺
Every moral panic about new media is correct, from literacy on down. They overstate how bad it is, and underestimate the adjustment, but literacy did kill memorization. Recorded music did kill making music together. TV did kill socialization, then social media killed it more.
My current rough sense of history is that the last "moral panic" about social media turned out to be accurate warnings. The bad things actually happened, as measured by eyeball and by instrument. Now we all live in the wreckage. Anyone want to dispute this?
I have it on good authority from one of the Unmanned Systems Forces teams working the C-UAS mission that this claim is false. Schmidt interceptors apparently represent a “statistically insignificant” fraction of successful Shahed engagements by UAS interceptors.
Ekonomichna pravda reports that the interceptor UAV made by former Google CEO Eric Schmidt's Swift Beat company is responsible for approximately 90% of Shahed OWA that are downed by UAVs. epravda.com.ua/oborona/milyar…

not me thinking this was the German border with Austria and the Czech Republic for a second
Remember one thing. As the situation along the Thai-Cambodian border continues to evolve and more claims come out from both sides, it’s important to understand the context behind these reports. The border is one of the most difficult environments to operate in militarily. Much…
If you doubt me: Fortunately Zuck did us a favour and laid out the playbook when Trump came into office. Go to 3:51 and hear him explain how he seeks to collaborate with Trump to roll back laws regulating his (and other big tech) platforms globally.
