My experience with Matrix is that the federation itself is a deal breaker. I have a pretty beefy server and good connection which was getting ddosed by running Matrix and timing out on so many requests for avatars/profiles etc. Maybe I did something wrong, but the whole experience rendered me quite skeptical to the viability of it as a federated chat.

That said I've had nothing but good experiences using it with big servers set up by pros.

Right, and picking an instance is kinda same guidelines as any fediverse. Find something focused on your main interest of decent size and you'll be able to get things from most other places too?

Just out of curiosity, as a person who doesn't make any videos myself and don't know anyone who does, is there any use to hosting my own peertube instance? Mostly curious because it seems quite popular to self-host so there might be some killer feature I'm overlooking.

Hungary is not a net contributor to the EU, you ain't funding shit you're being funded.

I don't think so. I'm in Sweden myself.

I don't know if tuta and posteo have some special privacy features, but if you're just looking for a non-gmail provider I've been very happy with fastmail. It's an Australian provider with a good track record afaik.

Would also highly recommend getting your own domain if you can, so your address doesn't belong to whichever provider you choose.

I can relate for sure. Not to the same degree as you, from what it sounds like, but definitely very worried for the future.

That said, I do believe Europe is more resilient than the US here. And while that has been my main pain point with the EU for a long time, the fact that it's not very democratic might make it even more resilient to fascist take-over.

But there is no such implementation AFAIK? How is it making Typescript faster if it's a completely new implementation?

But certainly, in theory it could become unshackled from JavaScript. Have there been any serious attempts to do so though?

It's not. IIRC that's the final step to obligate us to join the Euro, and the only requirement we're not fulfilling (willingly, despite majority wanting it but because we voted against it a long time ago).

I feel this should be obvious to anyone who knows anything about programming, because typescript is just a development tool not a runtime.

Finally the Swedish crown is doing well. Feel it's been in the shitter for ages now.

Netscape went bankrupt so might not be the most solid idea for funding. Wasn't opera paid before too, but abandoned that model?

Assume he would, what do y'all think will happen? Technically I guess all NATO countries should defend Greenland, which means war with the US, which means kick-starting WW3. On the other hand, if the US attacks NATO is there even an alliance left? I think there might very well be countries who, when faced with the option of cowardice or war with the US, will say "fuck it, NATO is void and we really don't want to be nuked over Greenland".

If at all possible, I'd really love it if we can postpone WW3 until after I'm dead.

IIRC wine and other alcohol products are already struggling a bit in the EU because the younger generation doesn't drink as much.

This being a Kremlin script, the enthusiasm was soon leavened with suspicion. For now the pressure on Kyiv is great, Skabeyeva continued, but what will the Americans want in return?

lol, even Russia is suspicious of Trump's actions.

Not sure how you read pride into this at all, the implication is that if they don't know about it it's not a choice, while at the same time acknowledging that perhaps I'm just out of the loop.

Did they really? I assume they would do more research than me when choosing tech, but my initial reaction is "the fuck is a Jami?". Is this a big app in recent years?

I can't imagine it and my gut feeling is that it's a terrible idea for the same reason as having the US be our military was a terrible idea. Geolocation matters, and Canadas location means it has interests that are fundamentally different from the EU. A major thing is that it doesn't have Russia breathing down its neck.

It also feels like a slippery slope where we'll eventually have Mexico and, god forbid, the US joining as well. Then suddenly the will of European countries is overshadowed by these North American giants.

That said, Canada is cool and joining forces against the US is good.

An average day in the USA.

The one good thing I could think of is that Firefox could come under new management. But then again, how that management will be funded I don't know. Likely they will run in to the same problem as Mozilla.
