A lot of European countries have their own debit card networks. Germany has GiroCard, Italy has PagoBancomat and so on. The problem is that those are national systems that stop working once you cross a border. Most cards are therefore cobadged with Visa or MC as a fallback system.

What’s needed to get rid of the cobadging (at least within the EU) is some kind of translation layer to bring the existing European systems together.

Scroll to the bottom of the page. There you’ll see who is responsible for this manifesto.

The group of organisations or people who have signed includes Mastodon and Felix Ableitner, representing Lemmy.

(Unfortunately?) no. Even putting aside that the term is a lot more broad than a lot of (well intentioned) critics of Israel think, its been long used as a dog whistle by anti-semites. The novel “The Turner Diaries” for example, which is sometimes referred to as the bible of American neo Nazism, uses the term “Zionist occupied government” (ZOG).

The word Zionist in “Zionist Occupation Government” is used to equate being Jewish with the ideology of Zionism, depicting Zionists as conspiring on behalf of Jews and Israel.

And when Hamas leaders use the term Zionist, then they mean Jews more often then not either.

Probably because of personalisation. I assume the idea is to eventually present you a hyper targeted advertismebt of a poster (if they aren’t already).

Where do you get the government controlled from? It’s developed by European companies, not governments and you can selfhost.

So until next week?

As we say in Germany:

Sackdoof, feige und verklemmt
ist Erdoğan, der Präsident.
(...)
 Ja, Erdoğan ist voll und ganz
ein Präsident mit kleinem Schwanz.

It’s really interesting watching discussions about the trolley problem in abstract vs the problem in praxis. Because the thought experiment is about inaction (letting the runaway train crash into the group of people) on one hand and harm reduction (switching tracks) on the other.

The thing that I find fascinating is that with the thought experiment (basically) everyone says the answer is clear: switch tracks. But in the applied scenario of voting picking the lesser evil somehow stains your hands more than not voting.

I’m fairly sure it can, but that’s default behaviour over there, similar to how Mastodon and X/Twitter work.

She’s posting from Friendica. Ignore the @mention, that’s just how that platform works

Link works for me.

This client won’t work on your Pixel because Sailfish hasn’t been ported to that device.

That being said Voyager is usable as a web app and !thunder_app@lemmy.world is written in flutter so you should be able to built it for arm-Linux and use it on Postmarket OS.

If you are talking about North America, then that might be true. But a lot of other countries have extensive train systems where even ruraler places are well connected. Add hotels close to bike trails and you’ve got two two examples of people not necessarily arriving by car.

The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world.

You might want to keep an eye on Plasma Bigscreen, KDEs UI for TVs. Combine it with Waydoid and you get a system that allows you to sideload anything you want.

Nice to see (some of) my taxes going to improving the Fediverse.

The Sovereign Tech Agency (previously Sovereign Tech Fund) is an organisation set up by the German government to fund critical open source projects. Mastodon receiving funds therefore means that the German government considers the Fediverse critical infrastructure.

Unless we’re talking about German ICE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercity_Express

And we are not saying that he isn’t whitewashing Bush. We’re just saying, that this specific tweet isn’t an example of that

Except the provision in question was copy pasted from an old law where it existed for decades without any change.

I find the tendency on Lemmy to see a conspiracy in every law concerning.

Criticise the law for what it does (there is enough here for it) and be wary of potential abuse. But sometimes warm water is just warm water.

1. The government is obliged to grant your request to leave the country unless there actually is a war.
2. There is no penalty if you leave the country without government approval.
