Technology@lemmy.world•Finland's Ministry of Justice is considering halting its plans to start using US-hosted cloud servicesEnglish

I never used Windows Vista, but now that that look is back and I’m forced to use mac, I feel like I dodged a bullet and it ricoched back right in my eyes.

Europe@feddit.org•MEPs urge EU to block ICE from entering Europe for Winter OlympicsEnglish
81·8 days agoSome NATO contries have agreements with the US on how to handle service members, not sure if all of ICE/DHS falls under that, but it is there to keep US personel at military bases safe from their own actions and the target contries laws. The US pinky promises in the agreements to prosecute the persons under US law if the country just hands them over with no fuss. Under current conditions in the US, I take that to mean that US service members can commit any crime in any nation with such an agreement without any consquences.
On top of that there is the ‘invade the Hague act’, but that is just for war crimes.
And I don’t think any EU country have the death penalty (even “life” generally means like <20 years).

Europe@feddit.org•US to send ICE agents to Winter Olympics, prompting Italian angerEnglish
6·9 days agoDoes Italy have the same agreement with the US like Sweden does where, at least soldiers, are allowed to commit unlimited crimes in their country because the US “promise to totally” charge them back home? Then letting ICE in is asking for trouble.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•For those who's country's national language is **NOT** English, how fluent is your English compared to your country's language?
9·11 days agoAn American movie or TV show I would probably have the same level of understanding as my native language, even on references, puns, etc… English from any other nation, not to the same degree, but I’d say comparable to an american. Speaking I would say I would be quite far off. I’d say I speak a sort of “Erasmus English”, meaning I have almost exclusively had conversations with Europeans, none of which native to english. That means we borrow words which may be common to us, but not english, or accidentally apply our native grammatical rules to english.
Still, huh? Yeah, that is why I stopped using it too.
How does OTR work on it nowadays, or have XMPP moved to some other encryption?

Linux@lemmy.ml•Accidentelly run out of disk space when executing `apt upgrade` - Debian doesn't boot anymore
22·12 days agoThis is such an important thing to learn when using linux. If you want to be able to rescue your setup and not just reinstall: live usb!
To do a rescue on a system that does not boot, then you may also have to enter your environment and fix things, you do that by chroot. I always forget what steps are necessary, so I always look it up in the gentoo handbook: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Full/Installation#Chrooting It is the same principle with any live media.

Linux@programming.dev•System76 Continues Driving More Improvements Into The COSMIC Desktop
12·16 days agoI have serious issues with Cosmic. When I lock the screen and come back, then it has kills all terminals except the Cosmic terminal, firefox has become… broken, for the lack of a better word, where all new pages just give gray background color and no menu items work, and the sound is reset to the laptop speaker instead of hdmi, not the disolay though, only sound. Then fullscreening terminals also makes them crash, as in they seem to refuse to take input.
It is not really usable. But since nvidia on x11 in popos started resetting the display config when the screen went to sleep, it beats the alternative.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Europeans, please chime in: How can an American do a PhD in Europe? Whom do I talk to for each of the countries I'm interested in?
1·16 days agoIn Sweden at least, I’m pretty sure PhD student positions have to be publically announced. That is mainly done on the homepage of the department. So fins all Universities, find the department for your field, find their page where they appear to announce positions. Then visit them over and over.
I think some places used the site “academic work”… Was it this one https://www.academicwork.se/ ?
I also think Swedish unis use linkedin sometimes.
Look into a distro that you might like, and find a “live usb” of it, often it is the installation media itself. How it works is basically it is a linux already installed on a disk image you transfer to the usb, and tell the computer to boot from it. Instructions on all this usually comes with the live usb media. Then you usually get a “try it out” or “install” option, or it just leaves you at a pre-configured desktop. Click around, install stuff, browse the web, get a feel for it.

14·21 days agoShe tours foreign countries for clout. She used to be a host for a program on the Swedish far-right party’s Youtube channel. The irony completely lost on them having an immigrant telling them what to think.

Europe@feddit.org•Germans have lost faith in the US, survey revealsEnglish
25·27 days agoI think it is qualitatively the same in Sweden. People dislike Trump but vote for the same politics. It seems like some coping mechanism, where they try and distance themselves from Trump, because even to European racists he is disgusting, and that makes them think it is ok to keep voting for it.


I hope Sweden and more Erupoean contries does the same
