It's absolutely infuriating and flat-out an insult that Ukraine and Europe would not be allowed a seat at the negotiation table.

Ukraine not being allowed to decide about their own fate is ridiculous at best.
And Europe was just as much a partner in aiding Ukraine as America was, if not more.

All I can say is that this whole thing reminds me a lot of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact

I agree with the sentiment, but I don't think a military alliance with Russia is even on the table. That'd be replacing one abusive "ally" with another.
Just because America is suddenly untrustworthy and a risk, doesn't mean that Russia isn't a threat anymore.

Imo, Europe is better off forging its own path, only collaborating with countries such as China when it is in our strategic interest to do so.

Welcome! Hope you enjoy your stay.

I've been here for 1.5 years now, ever since the previous Reddit exodus.
Its not as big, so finding a niche community is a bit tricky sometimes. But overall I find this place quite cozy.

One recommendation I tend to give to newbies is to ignore the .ml instances. They claim to be Marxist-Leninists and the moderation there tends to be iffy at best.

Other than that using this place has been smooth sailing for me.

Hitler was very vocal of his disdain for democracy, and he ran on that platform afaik.
The democratic Weimar Republic was what ruined Germany in his view.

And Americans are seemingly too cowardly to do anything about it.
For the love of God defend your democracy. Protest!

Imo it's already difficult enough to convince friends and family to use Signal. Delta Chat would be even more difficult to pull off.

It is indeed nice to ban cruise ships in a fight against over-tourism and pollution

I'll let myself out.

The set-up process

Currently, unless you are already familiar with Docker etc, you run headfirst into a brick wall when trying to set up a PeerTube instance.
Until that process is easier to follow and understand, there won't be widespread adoption

Personally I stopped using Facebook years ago, but I kept the account around for my grandma's sake.
She has since stopped using the computer all together, so I took that opportunity to finally delete my account.

I do still use Whatsapp though.. I would prefer if I didn't have to use it, but there is no real way around it in the Netherlands.

I suspect it's one of those topics he likes to drum up if he needs to distract from something else.
(My suspicion is that this other topic is the walking back on campaign promises on immigration with the H1B visa thing)

That doesn't mean it's not still harmful. This stuff does harm relations with America's European allies, but I suspect that he is not actually planning on doing anything.

An alternative explanation could be that he simply wants to get his hands on a very resource rich area such as Greenland.

From my understanding there are two main beneftis:

• Capacity
• Safety

Roundabouts work great, until the amount of traffic becomes to big. Then it actually starts causing problems.
At that point you can put in a regular intersection with traffic lights, which actually works better than a roundabout does in high traffic environments. But you do lose out on the traffic safety benefits, with head-on collisions becoming possible again.

A roundabout with traffic lights increases the capacity of the intersection while still reducing the risk of deadly accidents.
It's also a lot cheaper than upgrading to the next step, which is building an interchange.

Signalised roundabouts are also quite prevalent in the Netherlands, and I can speak from experience that they generally work quite well if the lights are adjusted properly.

Note: I'm just some random guy, I'm by no means an expert on the matter.
This is just my understanding of the benefits of lighted roundabouts.
