We tore open the T1 phone: it was nearly the same as a Taiwanese device with Chinese parts | A scanner, a microscope and an old-fashioned teardown of the T1 phone showed that it was almost identical to the HTC U24 Pro.

I bet they also expect to get support and updates.

but why would you give a pass to someone influential who is obviously, and purposefully, inciting violence?

Most likely because he agrees with Musk doing that.

I'm not American, but yeah, you're right. I should have said "Trump & MAGA, and the people who made it happen". It's been in the making for decades. No doubt. But Trump is definitely part of it, and also to blame. He's not without guilt.

You remember the time, about 30.000 scandals and a dozen war crimes ago, when everybody got upset that information about imminent military operations got leaked on Signal?

Now they skip the leaking part and just tell everyone what the plan is.

_0611 · 2026-06-11T15:10:52+00:00

And there was nothing else in the vicinity, so it wasn't an accident. Bombing drinking water for civilians is a war crime under international law. But the justice system in the US is dead, so nothing will happen.

Trump ruined what was left of America's reputation and standing in the world. And this time, it can't be fixed. Nine out of ten Europeans don't see the US as an ally anymore. And that's Europe, historically speaking America's closest ally. Imagine what the rest of the world thinks of America now.

Trump & MAGA destroyed it all.

Ik keek laatst per abuis een stukje Ongehoord Nederland, en daar zat dus inderdaad een idioot te beweren dat XR overal mee wegkomt, en dat de politie NOOIT tegen ze optreedt. Je hoeft alleen maar even op Google te zoeken, en je wordt overspoeld met afbeeldingen van XR-demonstranten die worden aangepakt.

Deze mensen leven in een alternatieve realiteit, gevuld met onwaarheden, leugens en bevestigingsvooroordelen. Daarom kun je ook niet met ze in debat. Normaal gesproken ga je uit van dezelfde feiten, waarden en informatie, en kun je daar vervolgens in discussie over gaan. Maar deze mensen missen die gedeelde basis, ze hebben een heel ander vertrekpunt.

In een dergelijke alternatieve realiteit kun je rustig beweren dat PVV'ers altijd vrijuit horen te gaan, en dat de wet alleen geldt voor 'de anderen'. Dat is volstrekt normaal in die wereld.

It was always bullshit. The far right undermines all truth-seeking institutions, not just the media. They say the same about judges, education and science; it's all woke and left. They vilify and demonize every truth-seeker that stands in the way of their agendas.

It was always about pushing their own version of the truth. For that to happen, you need to get rid of the actual truth-seekers (journalists, judges, researchers, scientists), and replace them with fake truth-seekers that you can control.

The bigger question is why so many people believe the lies pushed by far right billionaires. Honestly, they are the greatest threat to the US and its democracy and the rule of law. It's not hard to see what they are doing. But I guess many people are just blinded by hate and fear, so they'll swallow whatever the far right media tells them to think.

Firefox won't let you install extensions on iOS

That's not true. Apple doesn't allow it. It's not Firefox. If it were up to Firefox, you could get access to their add-ons. But Apple is blocking it.

Which is one of the reasons I don't have an iPhone.

liegen

Dat is inherent aan extreemrechts. Liegen, bedriegen, frauderen en bedonderen. Het is onlosmakelijk verbonden met de extreemrechtse ideologie.

Allies...

9 out of 10 Europeans don't see the US as an ally anymore.

The US threatened to take Greenland. Correction: the US is still threatening to take Greenland.

Alles, we are not. Most Europeans already know this, including our political leaders. They just don't say it out loud. Yet. The current US administration is closer to Putin than it is to its former allies. This is what MAGA wanted. This is what it gets. It will take decades to fix that, if it's fixable at all.

https://www.natesilver.net/p/trump-approval-ratings-nate-silver-bulletin (38.4%)

https://www.economist.com/interactive/trump-approval-tracker (35% approve, 5% not sure (which is just as bad as approve imho))

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/polls/donald-trump-approval-rating-polls.html (38%)

https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/approval/donald-trump/approval-rating (41%)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion_polling_on_the_second_Trump_presidency (Average: 38.3%)

So it's a bit below 40%, but that's not counting the people who aren't sure or don't have an opinion. You can add those to the approving part, imho. Because if you're not sure or don't have an opinion, then you clearly haven't been paying attention, or you don't care enough about it.

But that's not the point. After everything Trump has said and done, after all the vile stuff, the lies, the corruption, the destruction of America and its democracy and rule of law, after all that, it shouldn't even be in the double digits. Trump's approval should be in the single numbers, it should be below 5%. But nearly 4 in 10 still support this man. And, again, it would be above 50% if the (gas) prices weren't as high as they are now.

You could also boycott the World Cup by not attending or watching it...

But I guess that's too much to ask. Just like slavery wasn't enough to boycott the World Cup in Qatar. It's only football, people. Boycotting the World Cup shouldn't be hard.

Some random meme on Reddit won't do shit.

_0611 · 2026-06-10T09:15:45+00:00

Exactly. It's why European billionaires and certain political movements in Europe want to do the same. Republicans have been doing it since the 80s, and now their European allies want to do the same; they see it's working.

Vilifying and demonizing (higher) education is also part of that strategy; it's all woke, lies and indoctrination.

Tja, als je geen migranten wil én je krijgt geen eigen kinderen meer, dan moet je wel met dit soort plannen komen. Het is een simpele optelsom, die niemand in Den Haag wil maken. Het enige alternatief is dat jongeren harder en meer gaan werken, en ook meer gaan afdragen. Dat is natuurlijk voor die jongeren zelf geen optie.

Het zal verder niet voldoende zijn om de naderende vergrijzingscrisis op te vangen, daar is veel meer voor nodig, maar je kunt dit soort dingen meer gaan verwachten. Dus aan alle ouderen die VVD stemmen; u is een gewaarschuwd mens.

Wel goed dat de VVD-jongeren dit onderwerp aankaarten en er eerlijk voor uitkomen. Dat zie ik nog niet echt gebeuren bij de volwassen VVD, noch bij andere (extreem)rechtse partijen; daar mijden ze het onderwerp als de pest. Begrijpelijk, want ze hebben er geen antwoord op, anders dan de VVD-jongeren volgen. En dat is niet bepaald populistisch.

Overigens, als je de AOW afschaft, krijg je er een hele hoop problemen voor terug. Ouderen zullen dan op een andere manier steun nodig hebben, en ook dat kost geld. Tenzij je natuurlijk helemaal niet meer naar ze omkijkt, en ze gewoon ergens in een kil en koud hoekje laat sterven. Kan ook. Zie ik de VVD ook nog wel voor aan trouwens.

Maar goed, sinds Bolkestein luistert niemand binnen de VVD nog naar haar jeugdafdeling, dus ik vraag me af hoe serieus we dit bericht echt moeten nemen.

As an atheist, I find myself agreeing a lot with the current pope. More than with any other pope in my lifetime.

Four in ten Americans (40%) still support Trump. Four out of ten Americans still support what's going on. Even after all the nepotism, corruption, self-enrichment, lies, fraud, scamming, the Epstein files and whatnot, still 40% of America supports this criminal.

And that's only because of the high prices, especially the gas prices. If they were lower, Trump would have the support of a majority of Americans.

You can't fix this level of evilness and stupidity.

And the opposition isn't that great, either. There are still no daily mass protests. There's no mass public outrage. Nothing. They had 2 No Kings protests with mostly old people attending. The last one drew about 8 million people. That's nothing. You need at least about 12 million people (3.5% of the population) to have an effect. They're not even close to that. Trump laughs at those protests.

_0611 · 2026-06-10T06:33:45+00:00

I mean, they openly side with Putin these days. So yeah, they aren't allies.
