It’s interesting to see how this Cyprus conference will further interpret, give substance to, and develop EUs security and competitiveness using EU’s Article 42.7 , with a new policy and maybe budget.

Head of EU states will need to do an extreme political balancing act, whether when and how an EU framework will provide more value to your money compared to individual solo memberstates expenditures. Money can only be spent once, either national or on EU level, and this will decide the EU future and shape it’s geopolitics.

No expert here, but it seems Siemens want their AI not to be treated under the same law as" regular" LLM AI. They have developed an industrial AI which can be used for automation processes optimisation with a claimed 50%.

Ah,. so there was more stuff going on? I’m curious now.

added. something weird is still going on per april. Are we sure this isn’t a disinfo campaign? like see here, about wayback machine and here 2, russia blocks archive today.

Just one site though and the " alleged" ddos atacks are personal:

“The entire situation revolves around an old blog post published nearly three years ago, in which Patokallio attempted to identify the individuals behind Archive.today.”

Has anyone any newer news yet? I thought it was under investigation by LW admin.

"Where I think it has gone wrong is that fundamentally Britain’s ‘asks’ are still the same,” another EU diplomat says. “They are asking for a ‘reset’ but it’s like old wine in new bottles: asking for being part of those areas of the single market only where they believe they have a competitive advantage. And they do not want to pay.”

So, we’ll see how it will go in July.

TIL Operation Gladio

NATO is a curse. Its an imperialist capitalist organization, not a defense org and should be dissolved.

You are spreading nonsensical info without any context.

That Operation was a contigency plan against a possible USSR incursion in Western Europe, like what did happen in Eastern-Europe . Also ask those former Sovjet States how horrible the Sovjet regime was. They deported millions.

TIL? No, you did not.

Fyi, this article is a bit more in depth & critical. Ofc, it’s great that Magyar won, yet we all, and expecially the Hungarians, will need to wait and see how the new leadership turns out.

Idk specifically, maybe theh need a 2/3 majority? But according to the article Starmer might use an ancient bill to evade a parliamentary vote for closer EU ties.

I think you and I are very much saying the same thing

We are. Great minds think alike don’t they? haha.# add Nice 2meetu.

I’m getting really tired of this

Oh I get that this game has been going on for 1000 of years, and the same games are noticeable within half a lifetime or ealier if you wanna be honest.

and we’ll get through this

For sure, after paying the price.

But, will we learn our lessons?

Then again, it’s was never about who’s going to learn their lesson, as much as what you ( or I) will do about it this time around. And each one person should act in their own way. I think that’s the real question, and answering that, is very tiresome.

I hate that so much. In the post World War II era, our country created an excellent legacy for diplomacy and world peace.

Yes that was quite a nice system in place That’s why so many people are rightfully angry now it’s beeing destroyed. In retrospect, it’s been going on for decades, and now we all( have to) see it’s culminating effect.

To me, there’s actually much more going on and these politics are part of a broader geopolitical movement towards more authoritarian regimes & power to oligarchs. That’s very worrisome.

was always in favor of the EU, finding the whole idea fascinating.

Agreed, the European Project as some like to call it, is weirdly fascinating and to be part of history-in-the-making gives it extra dimension.

Trump who might get us kicked out of NATO somehow, the cunt.

Don’t think the Reps will let him and his cult do that. But I think we’ll definitely see a smaller role for USA. Someone called it Nato minus.

the uk trying to rejoin the eu?

Good question; Starmer, the UK PM and a lib , is sort of pro Europe, as is now the majority of the UK. He’s not persé full package EU , but he wants to partake in an important part of the trade & defense bit of Europe using the European Internal Market.

This bit is what the UK EU summit in the summer is probably about and we’ll see how negotiations will go from there.

What’s interesting here, is that PM Starmer might evade a " Nay-" vote for closer EU cooperation via a special law trick in UKs Parliament by the Brexit parties & Conservatives .

a little distracted atm by what my own government is doing…

Yips, unfortunately so is the whole world.

I don’t understand how more votes lead to less seats. Maybe I’m reading it wrong.

Huh, Starmer has some cards up his sleeves:

" A new bill, which will bring into force the food and drink trade deal with the EU, will contain powers enabling the government to dynamically align with Europe on areas where it has already made agreements. But it will also allow the UK to quickly implement evolving single market rules if it determines it is in the national interest, without having to face full parliamentary scrutiny each time.(…)

But the Guardian understands that if the new bill –expected to be introduced before the summer– is passed, negotiators could seek to adopt EU rules on everything from cars to farming using secondary legislation.The move is possible under so-called Henry VIII powers…(…)

Polls have closed. Preliminary Survey from 21 research centre?, 2/3 wins voor Tisza. Awaiting further confirmation on this site though. #Add: First exitpolls expected around 20.00 CET.

Im happily using Le Chat/ Mistral (France) . It got recent extra funding via ASML ( The Netherlands). But yes I’ve have been advertising EU alternatives to friends, but many still stick to USA stuff. It will take some while to adapt.

Huh ?! tnx @ Ruud maybe add this link to the main post? this one doesn’t require email etc (I used the Kofi link already).
