Central Europe’s ‘Trumpists’ Make Excuses as US Tariffs Seen Hitting Economies Hard | Balkan Insight

Even if there are no winners in trade wars, some lose more than others – and Central Europe, with its export-driven economies, is highly vulnerable to tariffs.

@fireborn I don't think anything can be as bad as Linux. Even Android. And that has permissions! I've always been under the impression that just about everything to do with the desktop works like that. Audio, GUI, clipboard, MIDI... I will never trust it for music making, aside from the fact that nearly all my plugins wouldn't work with it to begin with. Nor does OSARA does it?

#Postmedia, i.e. National Post, etc. LIED TO CANADIANS w/ an op-ed piece containing accusations of plagiarism...

I cannot imagine WHY the American-owned pieces of garbage would allow such lies to be published... can you?

AND, OF COURSE, THE RIGHT-WING KOOL-AID DRINKING PIECES OF GARBAGE ARE STILL SPREADING THE LIES THIS WEEK.

He gave me one of my first, truly safe jobs and opportunities as a PA for a project he was working on years ago. He made it a point to say “I want to see more Black women in this industry…” and then proved it with his actions. I got to hug him last year after not seeing him for sometime. We spoke via iPad. He was incredibly proud of me. This is all that matters. Honored to know this man. I am truly glad he is free.

I think I’ve found a relatively nice solution for #FediLinks in #Conversations_im.

You can put web+ap URIs into a message (or room description) and ideally a click on those will open your Mastodon client. However if no installed app supports those (the only app that I’m aware of is Fedilab) Conversations will open a browser instead.

Currently no app will create web+ap links but it is fairly easy to handcraft them.

I said it before on Mastodon. I'm reposting this again. Comparing #DeltaChat and #Matrix together, if you want hassle free and consistent messenger for private #E2EE chats, don't go for Matrix. DeltaChat is way better.

However, if you want something like a public forum, or a public chatroom, don't go for DeltaChat. Matrix is way better suited for that. And DeltaChat does not support public groups at all. In DeltaChat groups, there is no admin or moderator and everyone have got permission to remove or add the others.

I think I have to write a longer post on my personal blog about these two, comparing them together.

PS: Another Matrix encryption bug few minutes ago triggered repost of this.

Update: Within hours after a #Reuters journalist got in touch with Apple, the Apple team got back to us.

Good news: You will soon be able to select #Tuta Mail as your default email app on #iOS.

Bad news: #Apple will get away with ignoring our request for weeks without any consequence.

I finished watched the TV Series Adolescence last night. Gripping story and one that is probably reflected in many homes around the world. How do we define what it is to be a man in 2025? How see our children become responsible adults? What is it to be a good parent? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolesce…

📣 #DMA: European Commission falls short on interoperability requirements for Apple

Despite initial promising steps, the @EUCommission 's measures on Apple’s compliance with interoperability procedures under the Digital Markets Act fall short.

The less stringent obligations on API documentation and long deadlines for interoperability solutions will impact how #FreeSoftware projects get interoperability from Apple.
