Ah, thanks for the heads up. I’ll hunt down my boost and remove it. Why do people do this?



Report: "Belgium imposes arms embargo on Israel"

"Belgium has banned aircraft carrying weapons & military equipment to Israel from using the country’s airspace..."

middleeastmonitor.com/20260123…

Why? It seems Belgium got caught violating its own embargo:

Arms sent to Israel have been "in violation of Flanders' self-imposed arms embargo, which dates back to 2009."

I am curious if anyone knows why the Belgian government is doing this now. Is it related to protests or is it a random government action, and if it is related what is the Belgian pro-Palestine movement doing right and how can we spread this to other EU countries to force them to divest.

"The Brussels Court of First Instance ruled on Thursday (17 July) that a shipping container of components... cannot be sent from the port of Antwerp in Belgium... to Israel."

Are there non-evil for-profit tech companies in Canada?

It seems like that's where they all end up eventually.

based on the toots that followed, it may not have been from Uganda after all, but from Java.

Or too many cookies.

Not in Japan though, no M-Trees here.

Any Intel on that?



❝ We often hear that Europeans don’t have the "success culture." Those examples, and there are many more, prove the opposite. Europeans like success. But they often don’t consider "winning against the whole society" as one. Instead, they tend to consider success a collective endeavour. Success is when your work is recognized long after you are gone, when it benefits every citizen. Europeans dream big: they hope that their work will benefit humankind as a whole!
