  • China says it is ready for 'any type of war' with US

    Jump

  • "If war is what the US wants, be it a tariff war, a trade war or any other type of war, we're ready to fight till the end," China's embassy said on X, reposting a line from a government statement on Tuesday.

    Maybe something is lost in translation, but this sounds like they're primarily talking about economic wars. My reading is that they're just saying that they won't accept US bullying, which is good.

  • EU leaders seek security within the bloc, without the US

    Jump

  • Well, we can't trust the US security guarantees and we have an expansionist egomaniac in the east. There's not much choice to be honest. What good are any other investments if anything we build up is just gonna get crushed by Russia?

  • Only in the sense that it, too, was formed to screw the US.

  • Love it, but I think this might be the wrong sublemmy for this.

  • Big Tech Wants You Trapped. The Open Web Sets You Free

    Jump

  • I should probably have put quotes around "selfhosting movement", because I meant the term itself. Reason for asking is that if it doesn't include shared instances, then it's not a very big movement and most people will not really be able to join it.

    That said I'm not trying to start a discussion on whether it's good or bad, IMO it's good and I self-host a lot of things for personal use myself. Just a thought I guess.

  • Does selfhosting movement include using non-commercial instances of apps like mastodon/lemmy/matrix etc?

  • Trump says sanctions against Russia to be lifted "at some point"

    Jump

  • They already did, it's paying of the debt.

  • TV documentary casts doubt on Northvolt’s ‘green batteries’

    Jump

  • I think there's a lot of know-how too. Sure we may have researchers that know all about the cutting edge tech used in the batteries, but most researchers are not equipped with the skills to set up a factory. Do we know how to source all the materials at scale?

    The competitiveness isn't the main issue I think as there is strong political will to subsidize the shit out of this industry in order to have a more independent supply chain - as has been shown with Northvolt itself.

  • Trump on calling Zelensky a dictator: ‘Did I say that?’

    Jump

  • Lets hope the aging process accelerates from now on.

  • Some European Allies Fear Trump Is Out to Destroy Them

    Jump

  • Didn't he say something along the lines that EU was created to fuck with the US? Whatever officials and analysts see this as indifference to Europe need to be fired.

    edit: reading the article's first paragraph, yes he did

  • The US is now the enemy of the west

    Jump

  • I guess "NATO and friends" might be a bit shortsighted?

  • IBM’s $6.4B HashiCorp acquisition cleared by UK

    Jump

  • What are people's opinion on this, good or bad? I have a somewhat favorable view of IBM in open source, but not sure where I got it (so it might be misplaced).

  • Canada will send $5B in aid to Ukraine using funds from seized Russian assets, PM Trudeau says

    Jump

  • Meanwhile US is busy slamming tariffs on their allies.

  • Most Poles support idea of joint EU military, poll shows

    Jump

  • Always thought this makes a lot of sense. An attack on one EU country is a severe disruption on all other. Before Sweden and Finland joined NATO, would the EU have been able to continue business as usual without joining in? That said I know a lot of people oppose it because they see it as one step closer to becoming a federation and getting rid of the nation states.

  • UK to announce new sanctions on Russia

    Jump

  • The distinction being that they will not be stationed in areas with active combat, but rather as a militarized police? Sounds like the distinction is quite subtle in reality and might be (willingly or not) misinterpreted, no?

  • UK to announce new sanctions on Russia

    Jump

  • and stands ready to contribute troops if necessary.

    Won't this trigger a Russia-NATO war?

  • 91% of Ukrainians oppose peace talks without Ukraine's participation, poll finds

    Jump

  • Makes sense the option would be appealing for some. Some people in predominantly russian areas who want russian victory, and some people who don't care about said areas and just don't want to die.

  • US ally Australia says Ukraine conflict must be resolved on Ukraine's terms

    Jump

  • Careful Australia, or Trumpatron will slap you with coal tariffs.
