Are you telling me they ever knew how to build Windows?

Yes, but who’s pushing for this control? I agree that both are terrible. I’d love to see all upper levels of politics become limited terms, without the option to just jump from one to the other. Once you’ve spent some time, 2 terms maybe, in a position of high political influence (national level, local councils are a different beast), you’re out of national politics entirely. Get rid of the career politician, and hunt down the ones that take “gifts” from corporate interests ruthlessly.

As opposed to Palantir control?

There are a handful of EU cloud providers. In addition, at least some EU countries have what amounts to a governmental cloud provider, providing services to government agencies and ministries.

No, please, stop spreading disinformation.

They’re doing their “research” with Grok now.

Is that why I make a pretty decent sysadmin? Because I’m a terrible coder? 😅

Well, at least it gives us a common language… I’m not sure the discussion would go so well if I was speaking one of my other languages to you. Enjoy your evening, or morning, or whatever it’ll be on your end

Given your name, I’ll assume you’re Danish too. It’s not exactly news that we’ve always treated Greenland and its people poorly. As far as timing goes, the court decision was made Friday, but it is curious that so many international outlets decided to bring this story…

… In the US. We’re not all from there. I’m decidedly left-wing, but censorship-by-default is a bad stance.

Nah, you’re just looking for a fight. No reason to go down that road.

I’m not sure they like those either, maybe just tolerate

I don’t care enough to continue this. It’s not my country, do whatever then 🤷‍♂️

So, uh, like the US right now? Trump, Kegsbreath, Vance and so on

Make a difference on the local level. Get involved, find a candidate worth supporting and help

You guys need to fix your system from the ground up, it’s broken. Electing the other party doesn’t change that

Historians are going to have plenty of work to do describing how the US threw away all of their soft power over the course of some decades. Absolutely wild to see.

I would assume the rodents got close enough to the food, rather
