La lechuga del diablo.
Also in the Netherlands and I have recently extended this concept to my home internet. Since 25 Mbps download / 10 Mbps upload is enough for my use, I no longer have an internet subscription and I make use of $25 LycaMobile unlimited data sim cards for home internet using a sim router. The IMEI of the router can be easily modified, which is also a plus.
I have a habbit of searching my own name a few times a week and sorting by new, to check if my name appears somewhere. It makes sense to me, but I would be self-conscious about it if someone asked me why tf I am looking myself up so often as if I'm famous
You are in the perfect position to help your brothers out!
This makes me think of those who design the US immigration forms.
"Are you coming here to commit crimes?"
( ) Yes ( ) No
If only I could get my contacts to join me.... I have two (real-life) friends in XMPP and none in Matrix 😅 I count my blessings and am thankful to have a few contacts that use Signal. I make sure to compensate them for their service with memes borrowed from Lemmy.
I think that the distrust of governments and generally those in power is a world-wide phenomenon. But I personally don't think that it is unwarranted. Corruption, abuses of power, and conspiracies are widespread.
“In November I had received two letters from Teachers’ Pensions asking me euphemistically if I was dead,”
I am curious about how one euphemistically asks someone if they are dead. Any guess?

The actual title of the linked article is: Leaked German military documents laid out a doomsday scenario where Russia wins in Ukraine then invades Europe
The article explicitly states:
The documents are not a prediction but part of worst-case-scenario planning, a common exercise within militaries. A German official called the scenario "extremely unlikely."
So I don't think that the title of this post is fair. Russia could go to war with NATO in 2024, and you don't need a leaked document to tell you that. But there is nothing in this article that makes this possibility seem any more or less likely.
What if houses just lazy?
