  • The EU and India just signed "The Mother of All Deals"

    Jump

  • Not even instead. Maybe they won't need to rely that heavily on that axis, but this should be mutually beneficial.

    I think we're all sceptic of Modi et al, but we only have a semblance of power over our own governing bodies.

  • What's up with all those new (maybe bot) accounts?

    Jump

  • It's not trivial, but I'm starting to think so. Take this user for example:

    https://vger.to/sh.itjust.works/u/Valleci

    There are some neutral posts, but many rage-bait articles from a very shitty news source concentrating on this community.

  • Record 9 tonnes of cocaine seized from ‘narco-sub’ by Portuguese police

    Jump

  • Is this from a bot account? 22 posts within an hour, no comments... And the friggin Gaurdian.. Are they a valid news source at all?

  • Apple accuses Europe of 'delay tactics' following alternative app store collapse

    Jump

  • Politics 101. Accuse the opposition with the stuff you're doing.

    Hungary is low-hanging fruit in this example, but that's where I was when I started paying attention to politics. Anytime the government said something about 'the enemy', it was a safe bet to assume Orbán & co were the perpetrators.

  • Police smash European synthetic drug ring in 'largest-ever' op

    Jump

  • I'm not sure if I am critical or cynical, but it sure seems to me that the medicine industry embraces productivity-related treatments, than actual mental health.

    Last I heard of any MDMA related treatments was the MAPS project, ehich got gobbled up by big pharma.

  • Fediverse Challenge: Prove there's still good in the world

    Jump

  • I've been mulling this stuff over.

    I think going fedi (and open source) is like hitting rock bottom/finding jesus/starting therapy. All we can do is try and remove the stigma.

    Yeah, all the doomerism is pulling me down, too. My best solution so far is to not interact. Not even a downvote. Contrarianism and acute cynisism need feedback to thrive, and the bastards ain't getting any more of my blood!

  • NATO nations deploy to Greenland after tense White House talks

    Jump

  • Not really, no.

    While central Europe and the Balkans still clearly have Russia's hooks in 'em, most of the population is firmly for the EU (i.e. the West). This couldn't have happened if Russian soft power did not suffer horrendously at the split of the USSR.

  • And the cold in particular.

    Jump

  • Just take some ayahuasca.

  • Referendum on EU accession talks likely in spring 2027 - RÚV.is

    Jump

  • "Greenland has ice and Iceland is green."

    I wonder what prompted this unexpected development.

  • Signal massively downloaded amid rising tensions, number one in Denmark

    Jump

  • I'm pretty sure this isn't irony, but rather a reaction from the population that is realizing the shit their government is doing.

  • The most bizarre tech announced so far at CES 2026

    Jump

  • This is so good that I got bothered that there was no source. I found a comic from over ten years ago, with the same theme, but more simpler graphics. It turned out Jake Likes Onions did an updated version of their original comic in 2019 and didn't add their watermark for some reason.

    Anyway, as you were.

  • Don't want to pay for YouTube Premium? Morphe picks up where Revanced left off.

    Jump

  • Witchcraft, I say!

    Thank you for the info, grabbed it from f-droid and replaced my newpipe shortcut. Can't wait to see it in action.

  • Can I log in with Tubular? Why do I need sponsorblock, if I have newpipe? It already disables all ads.

  • Looks legit. What do you all think?

    Jump

  • While I fully agree with you, I don't really fret the masses being manipulated. It's shitty and scary, but time immemorial we've been sewing these threads among each other. In a pretty recent post someone outlined that any time there is a new form of communication, we get a pretty big wave of manipulation (printing press --> reforming the catholic church / broadcast TV --> 2. World War). We got this current batch of Brexiteers and Trumpists because the internet makes for amazing echochambers. This will just be an escalation of that (yeah, not as reassuring as I'd hoped it would be).

    I'm more worried about me being (mis-)led by my nose. I think I'm losing my edge.

  • Looks legit. What do you all think?

    Jump

  • Yeah, my sloppy-sense was through the roof, too. The best I can relay what is putting me off, is the 'discreetness' of it. Almost like every pixel was specifically painted. Lighting and focus are also super weird.

    But yeah, I think we're getting past the point where I can tell.

  • And The History Channel showed documentaries that weren't about aliens.

    Jump

  • Keep it above the waistline.

  • How AI broke the smart home in 2025

  • Democrats vote to give Trump $1 trillion for global war

    Jump

  • For me it was the upside-down exclamation mark that gave it away. And I'd rather see it as satire.

  • Democrats vote to give Trump $1 trillion for global war

  • C'mon, this isn't reddit.
