Have they changed the title?

Trump fires top US general CQ Brown in shake-up at Pentagon

People who might be inclined to challenge this, are being replaced as we speak:

Trump fires top US general CQ Brown in shake-up at Pentagon

Hegseth fires Navy’s top officer, Air Force No. 2

“When facing the evil, the lawful neutral stands below the chaotic good.”

Peaceful protests are a great idea, up to a point.

These shenanigans are likely illegal in the EU:

• All products have to offer a minimum of 2 years of warranty, including access to online services on the same terms as sold. If they can’t afford 2 years of servers, then they shouldn’t’ve made the basic service free from the beginning.
• Collecting excessive personal data (not personally identifiable, just personal) without prior approval by the user, like data about whether a user would pay or not, is a GDPR violation.

If people got serious, they’d be looking at some lawsuits and fines.

Wikipedia and Archive.org need international mirrors. Just saying.

Testing the waters for Constitutional changes, precedent for the next one, for example Vance 2036.

Below-average gross wages (expense for employer), with above-average net wage purchasing power (how much employees can buy).

Meaning: can pay less, without people protesting more.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_European_countries_by_average_wage

For comparison: Denmark has 309% gross wages, with only 167% net purchasing power… so for the same employee’s purchasing power/satisfaction, an employer can pay only 54% wages in Poland.

Nice. May I ask, how did you do that? AI summary? I don’t see that content in the page source. 😯

I’ve seen a LinkedIn comment calling it an “untapped opportunity in the west”, wonder what’s that about.

You’re right. However, we learn slurs as a shortcut to express sentiment. For educational purposes: what would be some acceptable ways of expressing the same sentiment?

“Charlie Chaplin’s”… “roman salute”? 🤬

For context: PiS representatives keep getting invited to, and attending, all European neofascist alt-right meetings.

calls for “remigration” or mass deportations of foreigners and citizens deemed to be unassimilated, are now commonplace among AfD supporters and leaders

They make assimilation sound so important… meanwhile, people with jobs and families, who lose them for some reason or other, turn to extreme religious excuses to attack people, like this one last week:

Suspected Munich attacker named locally as counter-terrorism police take over investigation

It’s almost like the real cause was neither immigration, nor assimilation, nor religion… and more of an attempt at “suicide by cop” caused by insufficient resources for mental health.

I’ve been using OsmAnd~ from FDroid, and it’s the first time in a long time that I’ve felt something close to feature overload. Between the modes, all the settings per mode, different map layers and sources, all the plugins, and ability to edit maps… that thing feels more like a GIS app than a maps app 😄

OpenStreetMap itself also has a map with wiki-style feature edition history and comments.

To be fair, I haven’t been following Argentina too closely. Still, remembered how during the campaign, he promised to “reduce inflation to 150% and devalue by 50%”… which was like “what? so 300%?”. Not sure how they managed to close the year at 117% (and 54%), in October it was at 193% (and 54%). I haven’t checked the full “inflation & devaluation” series.

A single voter has(had) the power to join other single voters.
Most civil servants have little power against an AR.

It doesn’t need to.

Since 2020, the EU has been working on crypto regulation: obligatory KYC and AML, financial knowledge assessment to allow buying ETFs, crypto, margin trading, with matching risk limits and required customer protections similar to stock trading, traceability, ban on privacy tokens, extra rules for meme coins, flagging and blocking of suspicious operations.

From Dec 30, 2024, in the EU these rug pulls are legally restricted to only people who can afford to lose the money, and are informed of the risks, and can prove it. Anyone offering vulnerable people entry to the casino, is breaking the law, with huge fines attached.

Yes, there is a spike… and Milei has masked the most recent one with a devaluation by decree

• 2023: 211% inflation
• 2024: 117% inflation / 54% by decree = 216% effective

Argentina has a serious case of stagflation, with public spending slashed, international investors capped in their ROI, and a poverty level going back to 2005 numbers.

Typical “IoT”… the S, F, and G stand for Security, Freedom, and Guarantee.

After the shutdown, offline features like “battery level” will still work

How nice of them 😆

Sure! After inflation has increased more than 10%…

I can’t read Spanish

Google Translated into English

The USD/ARS exchange rate has been going badly along inflation for the last 20 years.

Crypto is not the scam.
It’s the next step after VISA cards.
After digital money ledgers.
After Fiat money.

Market manipulation is the scam.
After deregulation.
