Allvarligt läge för Västerhavet efter 25 år med miljömålen. Länsstyrelserna i Skåne, Halland och Västra Götaland konstaterar att tillståndet i Västerhavet är allvarligt. För första gången sedan de nationella miljömålen infördes för 25 år sedan gör samtliga tre länsstyrelser bedömningen att utvecklingen går bakåt.

Goals behind Trump's tariffs: cut taxes on rich & escalate new cold war on China - Geopolitical Economy Report
Donald Trump's tariffs will not reduce US public debt. Federal deficit will grow, but are excuse to cut taxes on rich and ratchet up new cold war on China.Ben Norton (Geopolitical Economy Report)

Is there a Fediverse equivalent to IMDb, TMDB/TheTVDB, or similar platforms for movies/TV?
I was curious, does anyone know if there is a Fediverse alternative to sites like:
[IMDb](imdb.com/)
[TMDB](themoviedb.org/)
[TheTVDB](thetvdb.com/)
[IHorrorDB] (ihorrordb.com/)

Something that allows users to discover, review, and discuss movies and TV shows in a decentralized way.
I know about Moviewyrm, which is a concept of a potential fork of Bookwyrm.
While it’s a great start, it is just the concept of a potential platform.
If there isn't one, then has anyone ever considered building a more robust movie/TV platform for the Fediverse?
Or better yet, is something already in the works that I might have missed?
I’d love to see a project like this come to life, but unfortunately, I lack the knowledge, time, and energy to start it myself.
However, I’d be really interested in discussions or ideas for how such a platform could be built.

UN predicts world economic growth at subdued 2.8% in 2025
The United Nations says the world economy resisted battering by conflicts and inflation last year and is expected to grow a subdued 2.8% in 2025. The U.N. projected last January that global economic growth would be 2.4% in 2024.MICHAEL WEISSENSTEIN (AP News)

Trump’s invasion of Greenland would be ‘the shortest war in the world’
The U.S. has — by far — the world’s largest defense budget, spending $948 billion last year. Its armed forces have 1.3 million personnel — some of them currently stationed in Greenland. Denmark, for its part, last year spent $9.9 billion, has only 17,000 soldiers, and most of its heavy land-warfare equipment has been donated to Ukraine.
Trump’s invasion of Greenland would be ‘the shortest war in the world’
We took the president-elect literally not seriously and charted out how the U.S. military would fare against Denmark — which recently boosted the island’s security by financing two dog sled patrols.Laura Kayali (POLITICO)

Greenland is a strategic territory, and it has a lot of natural resources US could lay claim to. There is nobody who would meaningfully oppose the US if they did take over Greenland. I'm not sure whom you think US would be fighting there exactly. Meanwhile, European powers becoming some sort major geopolitical players in the foreseeable future is a fantastical idea. The US treats Europe as an expendable asset, and now that times are getting tough, the US is going to take what it needs by force.
Europeans committed a cardinal error in their assumption that the US was their steadfast ally and guardian. In truth, the relationship is more of a farmer who shelters a goat. It's not done out of affection, but with the cold calculation of one who knows it will eventually be led to the slaughter.

Maybe the shortest invasion, but the USA invading an ally, and a NATO ally specifically, would have repercussions long after the invasion itself. It could result in the dissolution of NATO altogether which would greatly embolden Russia, and perhaps China and Iran, in their ambitions. I don't think Trump is particularly concerned about all that, which is the scary part.
In short, it might be the shortest invasion, but it might be the start of another long war involving most of the world. Which doesn't seem like a great way to "protect the free world".

China Is Ready to Take Advantage of Trump Trashing Clean Energy
China Is Ready to Take Advantage of Trump Trashing Clean Energy
Donald Trump will pull the United States out of the global fight against climate change and punt on clean energy. China is poised to take advantage.Thor Benson (Rolling Stone)
Trump helps Chinas foreign policy so much. Their goal for decades has been to spread soft power and influence. They've been very effective even before Trump. What China is able to provide now is stability. The chaos that Trump sows drives nations away from the USA sphere of influence into the Chinese sphere. All they have to do is not rock the boat, do what they say they're going to do, and let the US do the advertising for them.
It's very sad to see an authoritarian state be the bastian of hope for developing nations. It feels like the democratic experiment has failed and authoritarianism is taking control worldwide.
Syria’s UN envoy calls for Israel to withdraw from country
Syria’s newly appointed United Nations Ambassador, Koussay Aldahhak, called for the withdrawal of Israeli occupation forces from areas they recently took over in Syria.
This came during Aldahhak’s first address to the UN Security Council on Wednesday following his appointment by Syria’s new administration, which was formed after the fall of the Assad regime.
Aldahhak stressed the need to ensure that Israel does not exploit the current circumstances to violate Syria’s sovereignty and impose new realities by extending its military presence into additional areas of Syrian territory.
He further demanded the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the areas they have recently entered and an end to their aggressive practices against residents.

Linux Foundation bands together Chromium browser makers in a “neutral space”

there’s a whole world of alternative, small, or minimalist non-Chromium non-Firefox browsers out there I would love to try out – but in today’s world, if it doesn’t support at least the full un-crippled version of uBlock Origin, it’s a complete non-starter
(considering general trends, I’m just gonna have to sit down and setup PiHole aren’t I?)
With Lynx, there's even no need for plugins!
In all honesty, you should try it. Configure it adequately, and really trying it.
If people could respect the web standards and all have a text based version (aka working on Lynx), the web would be a better place for everyone - especially the impaired ones (blinds for example).
I would trash all the JavaScript in the world to have a functional text based web any day.
Blink, the engine Chromium and Chromium based browsers use, is also a fork of Webkit.

No candidate for the Cuban national assembly has ever lost an election though?
Cuba selects a candidate for each seat, and voters can either approve or disapprove them (requiring a new candidate to be chosen). But this has never happened in Cuban history.
Because free and fair elections are determined internally as they always have?
Correct, which is why westerners should shut the fuck up and stop giving their uneducated opinions about whether other countries elections are "free and fair" (ie. Result in the outcome America wants.)
All QT apps gaining support for special keycodes in 6.10
Keyboards with custom firmware supports keycodes like XF86Copy and XF86Paste. These are great for having truly global copy/paste shortcuts that also work in apps like terminals where "Control-V" and "Control-C" aren't supported by default.
I advocated that these keycodes be supported in a web browser, Qutebrowser. The author of that project, Florian Bruhin liked the idea and submitted a patch upstream to the QT framework, which is used by many apps associated with the KDE Linux desktop. And about 5 years later, apps will be packaged with QT 6.10 that include the fix.
Here’s the change description.
This adds support for the Help, Open, Close,
Save, New, Cut, Copy, Paste, Undo, Redo, Back,
Forward, Refresh, ZoomIn, ZoomOut, Find,
Settings, Exit, and Cancel keys to the default
keyboard shortcuts.

The only significant "China risk" for European companies is future western sanctions on China, not anything China will do. Washington will one day come up with an another "stop China" plan for whatever reason. Brussels will follow it without question or thought about negative effects on Europe, just because it's given in Brussels that EU will follow US wherever it goes. EU has no ability or even the will to do otherwise or really stand against the US for European economic self interest.
Chinese market and manufacturing is not something European companies they can do without anyway. Especially after the current sanction war, the economic necessity for trade with China has only increased, but so has European reliance on the US. European companies just have to go for it and pray that Washington will not fuck them over (they will).
Brussels will follow it without question or thought about negative effects on Europe, just because it's given in Brussels that EU will follow US wherever it goes.
Like it happend with the last tariff's? Not.
