Impressive overview of the tracks of all the missile attacks on Ukraine last night. In the middle of Europe.
We need to think hard how we are going to provide security to Europe and Ukraine, talking about a future ceasefire is only a part of the solution.

If anyone feels the need to switch from US services I can recommend two sites:

european-alternatives.eu (@european_alternatives) and alternativeto.net (at @alternativeto you can easily find FOSS / self-hosted services).

UPDATE: @switchingsoftware also lists good alternatives for common services.

Also, while you are switching anyway, take a look at @privacyguides to find privacy friendly alternatives

And I fear that the current and upcoming German parliament are not ready to make the necessary decisions. We not only must talk about increasing our defense capabilities, but also invest seriously and tightly controlled into our future defense. And #Europe must stay unified in a time, when both #Trump and #Putin will attempt to divide us and spread distrust among us. #germany


Been away from a while but maybe gonna try to give mastodon a fair shake again. So uh... here's some recent illustration work as an ice re-breaker....

Looks like the final nail in the coffin for Chat Control in Finland !

The Constitutional committee has sided against the proposal. Looks like Finland is going to defend the future of privacy in Europe!

As a second Trump term looks more likely, the Brexiters hope/aim to (re)align the UK with the Atlanticist economy instead of looking across the channel to Europe appears ever more like a major mistake in national economic strategy.

If Trump wins (as now looks likely) & imposes the tariffs he 'promises' then the NIESR suggest the UK's already meagre growth rates will be halved, presenting a further economic headache for Govt. & country!

The clause would allow customs ofcls to hold up shipments if the destination seemed illogical, such as crossing #Russia to reach #CentralAsia countries.

The preparations are being made, in anticipation of a change in Washington's position, should #Trump be reelected.

Any softening by DC would leave #Europe in a difficult position, as it is the #UnitedStates, w/sweeping powers to punish #sanctions busting globally, that primarily enforces the rules.

#Europe seeks to underpin #Russia #sanctions, fearing that a return of #Trump could undermine Western efforts to isolate Moscow….

The talks among #EU ofcls & envoys are centred on several initiatives to ensure that European sanctions would remain in place longer term, bolstering them through tighter enforcement, even if Washington changes tack.

"Should a #Trump presidency reverse #US sanctions on #Russia, Europeans will need to be much more muscular in ... enforcement action & will no longer be able to hide behind Uncle Sam," he said.

…European countries were wrongfooted during Trump's last presidency, when the #UnitedStates reversed an international deal w/ #Iran over its #nuclear program & unilaterally reinstated #sanctions, leaving #Europe out on a limb.

The tide is turning in regards to Finland's support of #ChatControl !

After the decision on Finland's stance on Chat Control was deferred earlier this month, it was sent back to different committees for review.

Now the Transportation and Communications committee has sided against the proposal, stating that Chat Control would constitute widespread mass surveillance. ("...laajamittaista viestinnän massavalvontaa" in Finnish).
