European. Contrarian liberal. Insufferable green. History graduate. I never downvote reasoned opinions and I do not engage with people who downvote mine (which may be why you got no reply). Low-effort comments with vulgarity or snark will also be politely ignored.
No, in fact the problem is that you are confused about where you are. This is not !microblogmemes@lemmy.world or !politics@lemmy.world !news@lemmy.world where you seem to mostly hang out (and presumably shout and insult people). This is a sedate forum to discuss Wikipedia articles, which clearly you have no interest in doing.
Since there’s no sanctuary from incessant US politics it would at least be nice if this place could be a refuge from aggressive swearing.
The bad news: slightly decarbonized “manufacturing” is almost irrelevant given that Europe has subcontracted most of its manufacturing to China. The good news: electrification continues apace and it looks like its finally (thanks to China) coming for the stubborn transport sector too.
Can we please just have one refuge from US politics? Seriously.
La responsabilité européenne dans cette affaire est au moins discutable. Sur le principe, le propriétaire d’une maison n’est (normalement) pas responsable du cambrioleur qui se casse la gueule en entrant par la fenêtre. Surtout, vu le calme absolu que règne actuellement à la frontière sud des USA ça devient difficile de défendre cette hypothèse comme quoi les migrants sont tellement dépourvus de raison qu’ils ne prennent pas en compte les conditions de l’arrivée en décidant de partir. Ces personnes sont certes souvent désespérées mais elles sont aussi des être humains qui font des choix.
Bref. Évidemment on ne va pas se convaincre sur ce sujet. Mais beaucoup (beaucoup) d’Européens rejetteraient fermement l’idée que c’est l’Europe qui “cause” les drames en Méditerranée. Le jugement est pour le moins simpliste. C’est tout ce que j’ai à dire sur le sujet.
“We need to own our agenda,” added the fourth diplomat. “Ukraine, productivity, competitiveness, security, strategic autonomy. The lesson is not to say no to everything.”
The problem is that there’s just so much to do and most Europeans are just clueless about the stakes of all this and how much things have to change and the fact that it will cost money. To overcome all the lethargy, the learned helplessness, the ignorance, I’m almost hoping that the orange ogre will keep on like this for the rest of his term (and then lose of course). It might be the only way anything’s going to change.
In that case China is neoliberal too. Europe’s lack of a unified capital market is generally agreed (as I understand it, not just among naughty neoliberals) to be the weak link in its project of economic integration. In the end, economic power is political power. Alas.

Aux manettes du monde il y a encore des dirigeants plus ou moins compétents qui savent aligner une phrase de façon cohérente. Savourons ce moment le temps que ça dure.
Meanwhile on social media nobody is hearing a word he says because of those shades. Hard not to suspect it’s a psy-op.
So far, I’ve tried Mint, Zorin, Bazzite, Endeavour and Cachy.
Whereas in 21 years on Linux I have tried
Some general thoughts. I have done multiple CMS transfers of large sites involving Wordpress, Drupal and Discourse. No matter what plugin you find that supposedly will do the job, in my experience it is always a PITA that ends up involving a lot of programming. That’s why the simplest option would be to stay as close to Wordpress as possible, using a fork for example to fix to the ethical problems you perceive. Otherwise you’re almost certainly going to find it’s much easier to archive and start afresh, with the compromises that implies.
If you do dump Wordpress, in your position I would go for a database-less static site generator like Hugo. So much simpler and more secure. But that’s just my opinion.
To be honest at this point Signal is the worst solution
Presumably you meant not the worst solution
An embedded video not hosted you-know-where. Congrats.
For a successful community, this one (which I also lurk in) is oddly topic-specific. They must be doing something right. Copy them!
A text summary would have been useful. This is a text forum after all, not TikTok.
This is not a “YSK”, it’s just yet another post about (US…) politics.
Seriously, this problem ruined !showerthoughts@lemmy.world and it’s ruining this community too.
Indeed, and this is the heart of issue. The network problem means that it ultimately makes no sense to have multiple IM systems, just we don’t have multiple telephone systems. I believe we need to get our act together, pick the winner of this battle and commit to it. As far as I can see the winner has been clear for years now: Matrix. And yet we’re not committing to its, we’re still talking interminably about the relative merits of all the also-rans.
It’s reminiscent of (among other examples) USB. If the EU hadn’t stepped in and mandated USB, we’d still be arguing about the relative merits of different cable standards. This is the problem of having no central authority.
Personally, like a few million others (here in Europe), I convinced a small handful of Whatsapp-addicted normies to also use Signal. I’m not doing that again until the FOSS replacement for Signal is usable, reliable, and definitive. DeltaChat does not meet those criteria so I’ll be sticking with Signal. Unfortunately.
Sidebar should say something about THREE ragebaity posts in 24 hours on US politics, a subject which is already covered interminably elsewhere.
PS: a relevant meta discussion from last week. If people here are trying to ensure the fediverse stays an unpopular, angry, politics-obsessed place, they’re on the right track.
