  • With the new tram system in Liège, lots of car lanes were replaced with grassy tram tracks

    Jump

  • Well, you do need a flat surface below the tram. A lawn will dampen more sound and re-emit less heat than concrete or asphalt.

  • The thing about Europe: it’s the actual land of the free now

    Jump

  • Yep, we agree. In Western Europe I was thinking of Portugal and Eastern Europe the Baltics etc.

    E: and the current ones are Russia and Belarus

  • The last dictatorship in Western Europe was 50 years ago. Eastern Europe was between 35 years ago and today.

  • X’s dominance ‘over’ as Bluesky becomes new hub for research

    Jump

  • Well, if they tell the truth then it's fine. But no way to know what they do with this redirect (to my knowledge at least).

  • X’s dominance ‘over’ as Bluesky becomes new hub for research

    Jump

  • And they reported that it was to gather the referral when going to websites, which constitutes their income. But it's closed source so we don't know. It could be tracking and selling the data.

  • Sorry, it is go.bsky*app. I corrected my comment!

  • X’s dominance ‘over’ as Bluesky becomes new hub for research

    Jump

  • I'd say that we're sure it will. It has begun making the same shady practices like redirecting all out going links through go.bsky*app 🙄

  • I Replaced My Entire Work Setup with European Software – Is It Possible?

    Jump

  • Siemens (NX etc) is pretty European though.

  • Needed To Talk

    Jump

  • I was thinking about that. I guess the objective of brands is to be so normalized that people don't even think about it. Of course they're driking coffee at that place. Of course you'll go there to chit-chat with your friend. Going somewhere else doesn't even cross one's mind.

  • Needed To Talk

    Jump

  • Ah, true that. It's not an ad then and that's even worse... Are corporations that engrained into people's minds that when they think of drinking a coffee in a café, it's necessarily that brand? Their marketing dept did their job well.

  • Needed To Talk

    Jump

  • No, it's the coffee brand they're drinking.

  • Needed To Talk

    Jump

  • I love Litterbox! But I hate ads. Sad that corporate consumption needs to infiltrate nice things for authors to survive.

    Edit: it's not even an ad, it's worse! That chain of cafés is just a cultural norm now. That's depressing.

  • Sweet boy

    Jump

  • There's no real link with French. She's just calling him a sweet boy in proper english I guess.

  • Nietzsche Goes on Hot Ones - [The Existential Comics]

    Jump

  • With my shallow understanding of Nietsche, this comic is accurate that Nietzsche admires and sees the Übermensch as a goal for humans. But "rising above nature" and "the spirit is stronger than the body" is exactly the opposite philosophy to the Übermensch.

  • Austria is getting a new coalition government without the far-right election winner

    Jump

  • Not a policymaker but I'd guess the cause of the far right appeal is linked to

    • Growing inequalities, enrichment of the richest, and trickle up
    • Unchecked power of big tech and media companies like GAFAM, X, and traditional media being centralized in ownership.

    Both can be tackled by regulations at the EU level.

    Edit: actually, centralization/monopolization seems on the rise, no? Be it tech, media, food, transportation...

  • Austria is getting a new coalition government without the far-right election winner

    Jump

  • Like for any country with a "cordon sanitaire" as we call it in Belgium, this coalition now needs to address the fundamental reason motivating people to vote for the far right. If they fail to do so, the far right will gain points elections after elections until they reach the outright majority.
