  • Which FOSS video editor did you find?

  • EU closing in on MEPs who took Russian money

    Jump

  • Well, to be fair – we don't know what the MEPs were paid for, we don't even know that they were paid for anything or whether these payments were really illegal.

    Probably these were donations rather than bribes.

    If you donate to people who are on your side to help them gain influence, you're using your money more effectively than by paying bribes.

  • Yes. It has a reduced tax, thoough.

  • Thank you. So it's not just a doorbell, rather a remote controlled surveillance and communication system. That is a bit more complicated than a bell at the door.

  • No tax on food? That's nice, we should copy this.

  • Is $1.43 the complete tax? If so — how is your government financed? All countries I know of add a VAT of ~ 20 %.

  • Why would you need any software, server or phone for a simple door bell?

  • The linked article was very informative. The problem they described is that there is no alternative for people banned by cloudflare to access the content of sites shut off by cloudflare. Which, in a developed country, is a minority small and weak enough to ignore them.

  • The BIS and ABW have not named names so far, but BIS had a 300-page dossier on illicit payments worth "millions of [Czech] crowns" (tens of thousands of euros), it has said.

    ABW seized €72,000 in cash in raids in the Warsaw region.

    It's kind of insulting when perhaps-not-Moscow offers just a meagre couple of 10000 € as bribe to our MEPs. And embarassing when they accept such a sum.

  • for example all the Spitzenkandidaten have been announced.

    Is this a word missed by an otherwise very good machine translation, or has Spitzenkandidat entered European English?

  • ~20 years ago we were on vacation in Zeeuws Vlanderen. It was e x t r e m e l y boring. (Sorry, Zeuws Vlanderen). So we decided to hop over the channel to visit England. Our kids were too young to have their own ID cards, and as citizens of Schengenland we were not prepared for the UK border control. Of course nobody on the French side cared to tell anyone about British immigration rules. So we were at the border control in Dover without IDs for our kids. They accepted their health insurance cards, and we spent a wonderful week in Kent and London, even meeting a veteran from the battle of Arnhem. Luckily they let us leave as well – it occured to me only years later that leaving might have become a problem.

  • You're right, I oversimplified.

    The key term here is isolationists. Regarding our topic – the question whether NATO is an automagically reliant deterrant – Moscow does not need to control the UK as a puppet state, it suffices that they promote isolationism to a degree that the UK would not intervene into "domestic matters of Latvia".

  • NATO is only as effective as it is united. Moscow is waging a hybrid war, they are attacking NATO in the information space since years or decades. Till 2026 there are a lot of elections — the US, Germany and the UK could be led by pro—Moscow governements in 2026, France's next election is 2027.

    If Moscow wins the battle of the information space, it's absolutely possible that they will able to freeze the war in Ukraine this year and "rescue the poor Russians oppressed by the Baltic states" in 2026 or 2027.
