Turkiets utrikesutskott godkänner Sveriges Natoansökan
  • Ja, det är väl bara att förbereda sig för nästa våg av flipfloppande bullshit då antar jag.

    Sweden moves one step closer to NATO membership after a Turkish parliamentary committee gives approval
  • We've caught on to how this works now. I anticipate about two more iterations of tedious, drawn out flip-flopping and misinformation during the remaining steps before we are either finally let in or the whole thing fizzles out.

  • I'm looking forward to our market share doubling from almost nothing to almost nothing. Still, not a terrible idea.

    No Need for Twitter—TikTok Users Can Now Make Text Posts
  • I mean, I have as much of a problem with Musk and his insane antics as the next guy, but is TikTok really an improvement in that regard?

    Are we at the point where we have to select "the lesser fascist" when contemplating who should have control of our social media?

    Winning party by municipality in the Spanish elections yesterday.
  • Can anyone give a very brief description of the parties in the map legend for those of us not familiar with the Spanish political landscape?

    Ukraine deserved better from Nato | Letters
  • Yeah, I agree that's probably how this is going to play out; Ukraine cedes some territory to Russia and is allowed to join NATO, hopefully safeguarding it against further Russian imperialism in the future.

    In the meantime, we should of course keep supporting Ukraine as much as we can to give them as strong of a position in these potential future negotiations as possible.

  • Yeah dude, it's the brand that's the problem, you've figured it out.

    After this, everyone will love it.

    Over just a few months, ChatGPT went from accurately answering a simple math problem 98% of the time to just 2%, study finds
  • Seems pretty plausible that the compute required for the "good" version was too high for them to sustainably run it for the normies.

    Germany: With a result of 22%, right-wing AfD (ID) has reached a new all-time record high in the latest Ipsos poll.(from r/europe made by u/neofthe)
  • In any other situation I would ask what the hell you guys are doing over there, but as it stands we have pretty much exactly the same situation here in Sweden.

    Pretty scary development honestly. Europe really does not need a populist far-right resurgence right now.

    Turkey leader Erdogan will back Sweden joining Nato - Stoltenberg
  • You can't fool us Erdogan, we've seen this move before.

    By tomorrow he'll have new demands. He'll demand Sweden form a space agency and plant the Turkish flag on the moon or something like that, mark my words.

    US 'fully supports' Sweden’s NATO bid, Biden says
  • A couple of things.

    • Our defence has historically been coordinated to a high degree with Finland, and with only one of us in NATO it makes this coordination more difficult. So, in some ways, we are worse off than before the process started.
    • As it is now, Sweden is generally not worried about a land invasion. The danger is how exposed we are from the baltic.
    • A large part of why we want in is for continued solidarity and support of Finland. It is much better for Finland if we are in than if we are not.

    how to block meta from mastodon
  • I agree with you.

    Instances can defederate from meta at any point they choose, should it become necessary in the future. Until then, it is a huge boon to the more decentralized parts of the fediverse to get content from where all the "normies" are, as well as giving more visibility to non-meta instances and giving said normies a road to the less data-hungry parts of the network.

    Efter koranbränningen – FN håller extrainkallat möte
  • Det är ta mig fan helt sjukt hur nåt en ensam person gör kan triggra en sån här respons. Skulle nästan säga att det är en förvånande sällsynt företeelse än så länge med tanke på hur lätt det uppenbarligen är för diverse narcissistiska puckon att få mediautrymme genom att bara bränna en bok.

    Jag tycker också att det är jävligt onödigt att medvetet instigera genom att bränna koraner framför ambassader och liknande, men herregud, det här är ju totalt ur proportion.

    Vi fördömmer generellt inte andra länder för nåt olämpligt nån enstaka snubbe gör på deras bakgård, och jag skulle uppskatta samma behandling från dom.

    Crowdfunder for French police officer charged with shooting teenager Nahel M draws anger
  • Some people seem to frame the shooting as justifiable to prevent the potential danger the kids reckless driving would pose to others. While I personally think this was a completely undefensible escalation of violence on the police's end, I think there can be some reasonable discussion on what the appropriate level of force to stop the kid from speeding off would be. Sure, why not. Would I argue a person who is speeding away from the cops while shot is likelier to cause an accident involving others than one who isn't shot? Also yes.

    But having a crowdfunder for the individual that did the shooting, in practice rewarding someone for executing a kid for speeding without a license? What the actual fuck?
