Maduro was just as illegitimate as the US invasion of Venezuela, though. However, as I understood, the president-elect of it will not be the one seated.

As for Kallas, I can see a veiled warning (hint: the UN Charter was not respected not in the slightest), but overall the reaction feels weak as hell. Step up your game if you want to be taken seriously!

@Quexotic anything involving self-hosting is a hassle though, and the advertising is not there, unlike anything that comes from big tech. But the results are highly rewarding.

I don't think a revolution will be anywhere far if the war and the Western sanctions continue for another year.

Not if you become accustomed to it and revolve your daily habits around it. But yeah, once she will get home assistant it will clearly be a liberating experience.

Nothing yet, and still undecided. Dealing with the hangover now, lol.

That's an interesting concept. Looks like it could be doubled as a whip

Disappointed. I was hoping to actually see Gabe's face.

Call me paranoic, but I think it's obvious that Trump wants Greenland in order to encircle Canada and make it bow down to his demands (and force it to become more MAGA). If it won't comply, then it will become next on the list.

Not Bulgarian, unfortunately, as I was not talking about Bulgaria, but Romania. Be hopeful as well though 😁

@remington yayyy, waiting for our chiefs of the judiciary to follow suite.

 


Translation: It is time! The tricolor on the mast (dude has been a ship captain his whole life).
September 28th 2025 will be the day when a small country like the Republic of Moldova will provide a serious defeat to Vladimir Putin and his subjects from Kremlin.
See you again well on September 29th when the pro-europeans will continue to govern for their country and their people.

 

As a disclaimer, I must say I am not associated with the project at all. I just stumbled across it on the internet and thought it was an interesting one.

So, as I said, I stumbled across this project called PressPay. The business model goes like this: Publications sign up for this and feature a like button at the end of each article. Meanwhile, you as a user sign up for this and pay a monthly subscription. You click the like button on each article that you like, and the subscription that you pay is shared between the publications whose articles you liked (and the platform, of course, which seems to be taking a 20% share though).

In their reasoning, they state that ad monetization is basically not covering enough of the cost, and that subscription based models are pretty much limiting free access to information.

What do you think about this press monetization model? Do you find it viable? Do you think it could actually lead to a better media quality, or are there some hidden dangers that lay ahead if this model ever becomes more widely used? Do you have something similar in your country? And most importantly, do you recommend me to try it out? 😁
