She had been welcomed to the White House with open arms as few other foreign visitors had been since Donald Trump’s return, and Giorgia Meloni wanted to assure her host that – at least when it came to their political worldview – they spoke a common language.

Italy’s prime minister, whose Brothers of Italy party has roots in neo-fascism, was keen to stress that she shared many things with the man who had just hailed her as a “friend” who “everybody loves … and respects”. Tariffs were a bit of problem. But between friends? Hey, we can work it out.

Even if Italy boasted one of Europe’s biggest trade surpluses with the US, such disagreements could be bridged with recourse to the previously uncoined creed of “western nationalism”, argued Meloni, speaking in confident, lightly accented English, although she admitted she did not know if it was “the right word”.

French President Emmanuel Macron is making a not-so-subtle pitch to lure away US-based researchers who have been affected by Donald Trump’s policies.

“Here in France, research is a priority, innovation is a culture, and science is a boundless horizon. Researchers from around the world, choose France, choose Europe!” Macron said on X on Friday, hours after he hosted US State Secretary Marco Rubio and Trump’s envoy Steven Witkoff to discuss the war in Ukraine, the Middle East and trade.

That's so unfortunate. I'd still rather buy their phones than supporting Apple or any other soulless corporation. Even if they have the perfect phone

dubious benefit

The real reason was to abandon an open standard. They want to sell their proprietary shit.

too big (FP1 was perfect size)

It would be so awesome if they'd release a smaller, maybe like a 5.5 inch phone. I have big hands and still often struggle.

life cycle is fucking short

To be fair that's a problem with all manufacturers. But yes they should provide much longer support. At least 5 years. I'd also happily pay for an extended support after that if it's still working.

not enough focus on LineageOS support

I'd love them to support the project more! Degoogling is still hard. GrapheneOS support would be awesome too.

way too many cameras

I didn't get this trend in the first place. It looks ugly on all phones. Still they keep adding them like their life depends on it.

I don't think this will ever happen in our lifetime anymore, unfortunately.

You are right. My bad

Raspberry Pi with Plex?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

For me they are even better than Google. But I use Qwant now.

Because of network effects.

Building a social network is hard. A typical chicken or egg problem. If you don't have a user base, nobody is willing to join, and if nobody joins, you don't have a user base.

It usually requires a bunch of money to build a social network.

The fediverse has a long time to go but I believe it will win sooner or later.
