This is beautiful

50/50 for me. There are a lot of older cheap books around my area and I find good books for not much money. Love some book thrifting

Only thing he has to do is pull back the troops stationed in Europa

Same, bought one last summer for 80,- Insane to see this kind of price increase

After a Swiss court order, and they only could provide an IP adressen where the account was first made. Don’t spread partial information that doesn’t reflect wat happened.

Ad.nl is also a shit source anyway. Tabloid fearmongering.

This campaign is mainly focussed on drugs related crime syndicates, having a graphene phone is seen as criminating evidence. Dutch police has a very competent cybercrime unit, a few years back they cracked a secure “pgp phone” network which exposed multiple drug syndicates and led to a large amount of convictions.

That said, stopping crime is always used as an excuses for states to crack down on privacy and other human rights. Its a slippery slope.

Now that’s wat you call a shitpost, bravo

There is a big push to create a federal enforcement agency around Frontex, following the DHS playbook. The centre right party’s looking to the US and think we want that too. Frontex is already militarised in the Mediterranean and they are looking to expand they’re powers within the EU Borders.

American expeditions in the middle east where the new thing even. Meddling in the middle and south america is the OG of US imperialism. The Monroe doctrine goes back 200 years at this point

Crying honypot while using Twitter and YT is quite ironic

You could just run Linux on a macbook air…

That said, I have used macbooks and thinkpads and the aluminium might feel sturdier it is not. Drop a macbook and your looking at an expensive repair especially if it is case related, basically easier to buy a new one. Thinkpad parts are very plentiful and easy to repair yourself. And the cases may scratch but are not easely damaged.

Edit: I’m talking about the mid to high end thinkpads, comparable in price with macbook. The cheap ones are absolute shit.

Considering the above type of accusations and the fact that the US and Russia are funding the European far right, spreading disinformation and disrupting supply chains. Europe is already at some form of hybrid war with the US.

Russia is running hybrid operations in Europe for at least a decade now, the only thing to create a hot war with the EU is a pullback from NATO by the US. The Trump regime has been signaling such a move for a long time.

A hot war with the US is unlikely, but we have to assume they are an adversary non the less.

Lol, didn’t know there was a ddg version of this meme

There’s a concept called “Circle Of Control”. Worry about your small, immediate environment. Create new connections and network over plants or hobbies

To add to this, go talk to your neighbours and their neighbours. Invest in your direct communitie, organise a BBQ, cookout, party, concert or whatever. Connect with the people around you, this will make everybody more resilient.

Make Europeans fear what they fear most, immigrants. /s

That 33% downtime though
