💬 The European Union’s enlargement chief said Wednesday she is confident #Hungary will not derail #Ukraine’s path to membership, which she described as “inevitable.”
Spouting bs again. According to Trump, European leaders want a meeting this weekend, together with Zelensky. “They want us to go this weekend to Europe,” he said, adding they’ll decide based on what’s offered. “We don’t want to waste time.”
He also commented on Ukrainian elections: “Zelensky needs to be realistic. I wonder how much longer until elections? 82% of Ukrainians supposedly demand a deal.”
This fool actually thinks he's in charge.

Mio papà, in ospedale là in svizzera è finito. Gli hanno fatto solo quello del covid, e l'hanno mandato via che era già tanto se respirava.
@elettrona suvvia, nessun luogo è un paradiso in terra, come peraltro la Svizzera sa bene dopo l'ultimo esperimento di "teocrazia diretta" (🤣) avvenuto proprio a Ginevra per la regia di Calvino...
Semmai i problemi della Svizzera sono altri: per dire, che l'Europa sia una grande Svizzera, è una provocazione ricca di spunti, ma deve continuare a essere vista solo come una provocazione: la UE ha un'eterogeneità sociale e una proiezione internazionale ben diverse
@elettrona se c'è un gruppo dirigente credibile, tutto si può risolvere. Il problema dell'Europa di oggi è che manca una classe dirigente adeguata sia a livello di istituzioni comunitarie sia a quello dei singoli stati. Ma l'inversione di tendenza costa uno sforzo notevole

Trasferimenti di dati UE-USA: è tempo di prepararsi a nuovi problemi in arrivo
La maggior parte dei trasferimenti di dati tra UE e USA si basa sul "Quadro Transatlantico sulla Privacy dei Dati" (TAFPF) o sulle cosiddette "Clausole Contrattuali Tipo" (SCC). Entrambi gli strumenti si basano su leggi statunitensi fragili, regolamenti non vincolanti e una giurisprudenza che è sotto attacco e che probabilmente verrà smantellata nei prossimi mesi. Mentre l'instabilità del sistema legale statunitense diventa innegabile e gli Stati Uniti mostrano evidenti segnali di ostilità nei confronti dell'UE, è tempo di riconsiderare dove fluiscono i nostri dati e per quanto tempo reggerà il "castello di carte" legale costruito dall'UE.
Now, I’m not going to turn this into a printer review — that’s not really the point of this article. What I want to get across is that I decided to buy a solution rather than take on a new hobby. I got the Bambu up and running in about an hour and was cranking out prototype parts for my project later that afternoon. Yes, I might have had the same experience with a returned printer at about half the price of the Bambu, but I felt like the perceived value of a new printer was worth the premium price, at least in this case.

Bookface 1.9 for Friendica RC
For server admins running 2025.07-rc there is an update to the Bookface scheme to version 1.9.0
For servers running 2024.12 the Bookface Stable repo is at version 1.8.8. I'll do a release when they have enough fixes to hit 1.9 too. But there are a bunch of fixes you may want now (download zip).
I'm going to forget this @Random Penguin, so sorry if I post this idea\request kinda oftopic here, while stumbeling over this post of yours.
Sometimes for some reason, probably bad internet connection, a friendica page doesn't load well and a very basic page is delivered, with hardly any UX additions.
In general that looks quite superclean and actually even neat.
Kinda steno\ticker style.
I guess that's the basic skeleton with quite a fast delivery that even eats very few system resources.
The main ugly issue with that outfit is that avatars and icons are way to big.
Wouldn't that layout be a good starting point to create a base layer for any UX that could build on top and kinda outsource any UX as an addon that builds on top of that, kinda MUTT email style skeleton?
