The ruling is seen by some as a blow to Germany's fight against right-wing extremism, although for others it could be proof of the country's high standards of free speech.

Yes, nothing says free speech like repressing pro-Palestinian demonstrators under vague security rationales.

European leaders are still stuck on X, says enough about them too.

I was fresh awake and happy to be spoiled for choice 😀. The answer is, was, and always will be fries.

Same here! And on a slow day when I finally managed to get through the whole Subscribed feed, there's still the All feed to tackle. I really like that system.

This is the way. Let your frustration propel you forwards!

I don't think this is only true for your nation. I mean, I'm from Belgium, not only did this nation massacre a lot of people in the Congo, it also provided the uranium for the Manhattan Project and the ensuing Little Boy dropped on Hiroshima.

It's not (per se) nations that get the worst out of us, it's the power structures controlling such nations.

That's the beauty about Lemmy, it's not too reliant on momentum as it doesn't need graphs to go up at all times. The fediverse will always be a refuge when other platforms crumble. We'll just have to be patient and make sure the platform and the communities are as good as they can be at that point in time.

You could just use the Subscribe feed, no?

Beer, fries or chocolate, hmmm. I should first taste them all again, just to be sure.

Happy cake day!!

It's indeed becoming increasingly clear how the board is pressuring the journalists. Same with the Iran retaliation, suddenly all these news items about how unsafe the Israeli feel, where they go to hide, what they think of the bombings. Not one similar interview was done in Gaza.

Collaborating cowards manufacturing consent.

Outstanding reference. Meanwhile, the rest of us are still on islands where people argue about whether helping each other is economically feasible.

Thanks, I will let you know once I'm confident enough in this server's stability!

P.S. my favorite Belgian chocolate brand is owned by Mondelez, so I'm not too sure how relevant our country is/will be in international chocolate circles. 😀
