A reminder that Greenland is part of the Overseas Countries and Territories (OCT) of the EU and Greenlandic citizens are EU citizens.

Any move by Trump and the US to invade and annex Greenland would be a declaration of war with the EU and a gross violation of its 1951 treaty to protect Greenland from attack. (Though not ironic as the mafia never protects you from itself.) Furthermore, an attack on a NATO member would be deemed an attack on all other NATO members (Art 5) and a violation of the treaty (Art 8).

If neither EU nor NATO members did anything to protect Greenland/Denmark against the US’s overwhelming military might (as is likely) – and, remember, US troops are already in Greenland and in other EU countries also – it would signal that no EU or NATO state is safe should a stronger military decide to invade.

If anything, if the EU hasn’t understood it yet, it must start treating the US not as an ally but as a threat. Trump isn’t a clown. He’s the fascist leader of the country with – in the words of Kamala Harris – the world’s most lethal military.

We must shore up our defenses because it is becoming impossible to ignore that the EU is caught between two hostile forces: a fascist US on the one side and a fascist Russia on the other, neither of which have two shits to give about international law (that was a quaint concept while it lasted, wasn’t it?)

Either we learn to defend ourselves in the EU or we become a vassal state of Gilead. And, as much as I oppose militaries – in a world in which they very much exist – I’d much rather it wasn’t the latter.

Pizza and Rust Sunday

Has anyone tried Threats by Meta yet? ;-)

Starting to feel like this 2025 Influx of users is much larger than 2022 Influx of users. New users come in huge waves. Many of them also seem to genuinely like Mastodon according to the feedback. In 2022 many tried, soon gave up and left to Bluesky or back to X. Today, many have even deleted their commercial accounts and settled here.

I like this new development of things. Seeing new faces and more cat photos brings me so much joy. Thanks for being here. Remember that you matter.

This is a podcast worth of listening in general.

Probably not hard to guess who is my favorite book publisher ;-)

#nostarch @nostarch

I used to order sometimes books or even a magazine subscription (Computer Music) from UK. I guess those times are over:

In addition I can no longer use a printing service with decent prices and great user experience:

https://doxzoo.com/

I'm not sure if this the best way to fight against tax evasion/paradises but I guess politicians know better 🤷 What a disappointment.

Any within-EU service that is equivalent/near in user experience when comparing to Doxzoo?

When it comes to blockchain technology, I'm happy that it is so disregarded because usually in software it is best for job security to focus on disregarded and under-evaluated technology :-)

When I started working on TPM2 everybody said to me that TPM equals to DRM.

Now people say to me that blockchains equal to shitcoins.

It is usually best to make your own analysis and decisions and ignore the group pressure. If you go with group pressure, you are just more likely to be unemployed in the long run, because there is a queue of clones of you waiting.

Does Ghidra's disassembler do linear sweep or recursive traverse?

Tehkää itsellenne ja muille palvelus ja asentakaa Signal, vaikkette aktiivisesti käyttäisikään.

Näin mahdollistatte sen, että yhä useampi voi viestitellä Signalilla Whatsapin sijaan.

Tällä tavoin Whatsappin monopoliaseman saa helpoiten murennettua, kun yhä useampaan saakin muuta kautta yhteyden.

Laittakaa lumipallo pyörimään ja pyytäkää muita tekemään samoin!

Maybe unpopular opinion: this isn’t sustainable

If you’ve got so many users on your instance(s) that it’s costing you $4k pcm (and however many tens of thousands of dollars he claims to have spent so far) and you need to solicit money from your users/community, this is not “decentralised”

Dan needs to stop amassing users and focus on building the software. Let other admins carry the load of actually running the service

I focus on (and this time actually mean it) to other topics #FOSDEM. You can relax now :-) I rarely trigger these days but moral and ethical dishonesty is just too much for me.

Maybe I went too far but on the other hand there was like a mass campaign with absolutely zero real argument so just wanted make sure that idiocracy gets attention.

A classic text about software rasterizing. I scavenged this so that I could make something more fun than that stupid checker at some point for my test :-)

At the time made for the first gen Pentium but most of the stuff still applies:

It's still a good one if you want to fill some triangles...

Not a huge hardware synth fan (I like software and do not have space) but I do have a thing for EA-1/MS-2000/Microkorg. They are kind of like "same family".

If (actually more like when) I buy a bigger house I'll get used MS-2000 :-) It's quite limited compared to e.g. JP-8000 but has tons more character.
