Just a reminder that there are European-sovereign alternatives to the three major US cloud providers. To name a few: OVHCloud, Scaleaway, Outscale, Hetzner, and STACKIT. The latter was recently selected as an infrastructure provider for the Dutch National Bank while Outscale is partnering with Mistral AI. #EU #cloud #eusovereignity #europeancloud #aws #gcp #azure #stackit

#Trump says he'll place 25% #tariff on #autos from #EU, accusing bloc of not complying with #trade deal

Trump said Friday that he will increase #tariffs charged on #cars & #trucks from the EU next week to 25%, a move that could jolt the world #economy at a fragile moment.

Trump said in a social media post that the EU “is not complying with our fully agreed to Trade Deal,” though he did not flesh out his objections in the post.

Israeli soldiers have been looting civilian property on a large scale from homes and businesses in southern Lebanon with the knowledge of their commanders, Haaretz reported on Thursday.

As Israeli troops leave Lebanon, they openly load stolen goods onto their vehicles without attempting to conceal them.

RE: kolektiva.social/@oatmeal/1164


The EU is all about human rights. Not so much that they’ll stop trading with people commiting genocide but still
 they’re big fans of the concept in theory.

Look, @EUCommission, I couldn’t care less about visa-free travel to a shithole country but I do care about our data not being shared with said shithole country and its fascist regime.

Implement visas. They’re a two-way street.

Wonderful news... Guess that fits well with what the #EU has been working on for the past couple years. It's so funny when they always claim to be so much better than all those other governments, while they are working on the same totalitarian state just under the pretense of "security" ;)

Hopefully groups like the @eff can start some petitions and law suits to fight that!

32 years ago I started working on my first browser, Opera. I left Opera in 2011, but two years later I co-founded Vivaldi. Thus I have been making browsers now for 32 years, with a short break there between 2011 and 2013.

I have always felt that this work is important and no less today than before as more and more of you see the importance of alternatives to Big Tech.

Vivaldi is a European company with headquarters in Norway, servers in Iceland and team in Norway, Iceland, across Europe, Japan and a couple in the US.

We try our best to adapt to your needs. We build powerful browsers, with a lot of flexibility.

I welcome you to try us out and share with your friends!

Make believe you're 12 years old again. Mean kids, edgelords, drama mavens, etc

Some people never grow out of it. For some it's a cringe social identity as, an, uh, "adult"

Luckily, the leaders of entire countries are more mature, right? Right?

It's not like powerful people act like grade school dipshits going full whiny insecure brat, right?
