Apple just invented the bibelfish. Translation from outside the ear to the inside so you can understand anything said to you in any language. Well, any language they've implemented so far.

#dkpol Man kan virkelig ikke få noget forbi skattefar, kan man? Det her er ikke engang et produkt jeg har købt, det er en erstatning. Der er ingen klagemuligheder. Altså helt ærlig...

Given recent events I firmly believe that the American consulate in Nuuk should be closed, effective immediately. Americans are welcome, and they are welcome at their own base, but their government and government actors are not welcome in Greenlandic civil society.

Og det her, mine damer og herrer, var nok til at få @MBrgger til at blokere. Det skal siges at blokering ikke er det samme som censur, men frihedskæmpere kendetegnes som regel ved ikke at være så følsomme. Meget besynderlig opførsel.

Games as a service and related online services are nothing more than advanced DRM, and it allows companies to run or destroy games as they see fit.

There's something profoundly sick about this statement and what it represents. I bought some of my games from you more than 10 years ago, but you've given yourselves the rights to change the terms of the sale, and then change it into being allowed to steal my purchase back by revoking my license at your arbitrary discretion, and then ordered me to physically destroy the game and the medium it came on if you think I should - at any time, for any reason. And if I don't want to accept that, I should obviously physically destroy the game and the medium it came on regardless - no matter whether I agreed to these specific terms or not. Digital Rights Management has gone way, way too far. Instead of using it as a tool to prevent piracy, you are using it as a tool to destroy video games, steal from your customers, and above all else exercise a completely unreasonable amount of control over your users. Within the last few years you even started bragging about doing this, openly and brazenly yelling from the rooftop that we should all be used to not own the things we bought as perpetual license from you. I am not buying a single bloody game from you until you cease doing this. I am sick of this behaviour!

Best start those flag factories then. I guess that's a great way to provide manufacturing jobs!

I love to criticise bad politicians as much as anybody, and many are truly ludicrous, but if there's one thing I I'm tired of it's people getting angry that a politician takes days off or relaxes. They need work-life balance, too. Stop getting mad about golfing on Saturdays.

So Trump had decided in the spur of the moment that he's going to tariff us by 50% if we don't comply with removing our sales tax. I'd like to see it gone to be honest, but I see no reason why that's his problem. He also wants us to buy more trucks, I mean cars, and their poisonous food additives. He wants us to roll back health and consumer protections and stop fooling their tech companies for things they themselves are fining them for as well. And we won't, so now he's malding. Hard. I don't know what kind of system they've got over there that allows Julius Caesar to make random trade war decrees at a whim like that, but if they don't reign in the power of the president in the next 30 years, they'll go the way of the Romans. That's my prediction. I think we need to stop buying American for our public sector. Completely. We can't trust American proprietary software that we can't inspect or modify. It's time to transition to Linux, to KDE, to our own cloud. It's time for ARM processors. We have everything we need except a good office suite. Time to get to work.

We Europeans have been telling Trump this publicly for three years.

So let me get this straight, America. Trump is tariffing us based on how much we sell him vs what you sell to us immediately after begging us to sell a lot of eggs to the US (which we declined, good on us I guess) and complaining that he can't export ground beef at $18 per pound, which by the way are 3 times higher than ours. Your stock markets were going crazy under Biden, you were the envy of the world, but this doesn't seem to have translated to anything decent for the average American and now you're being absolutely buttraped. Meanwhile your government is starting a tradewar with literally the entire planet. On top of that, he's asking the EU spend around 5% of GDP on defence while planning to halve that of America by making a deal with Russia and China, which would bring the US under 2% and result in the EU having a national defence budget almost 3 times higher than the US, and after saying that he threatens two of his allies, both of whom he just told to go to 5% defence spending, with annexing their territory. If we refuse to sell our territory to a country with a public debt of $36T, that is. I hope he's able to give every Greenlander nearly $200,000 or they'll have lost a ton of money simply for becoming Americans. I am genuinely amazed. This is utter chaos. Like I am genuinely gobsmacked. Americans, I hope you find a way out of this. I love Americans, but god damn this is an epic hole you've dug yourselves here.

Did @JDVance just say there are no plans to increase defence in the area regardless of the fact that that is the whole argument for him being there?! This is ridiculous. It's absolutely insulting, utterly deceitful, and completely insane. It's time to invoke NATO section 4.

This tweet has more likes than they've sold copies, I guarantee it. Something smells fishy.

Before, someone else made the Americans look like fools. No more - now it's Trump's cabinet, including Hegseth, that do. The American government continues to be an incompetence tornado, leaving only destruction and confusion in its wake.

This is what happens when you take cultural sensitivity training; you become so culturally inept and insensitive that you rile up an entire country with a video game, up to and including major government official. This is truly worthy of applause. I have never seen its like.

No, it's not that, either. The problem is that the United States does not have a system resilient against fraud. In Denmark all the votes are counted within 4 hours. There's no such thing as late ballots, dead voters (our civil people registry or CPR actually works), ballot dropboxes, grannyfarming, gerrymandered districts, and so on and we don't have voting machines, which is nice because all yours are running closed source software with no checksums or balances. Have a look at DEFCON. They love your voting machines Secure elections require you to pre-empt attacks. The second the vote is cast and the voter leaves the room the vote is anonymous and you're too late. Courts are useless. It's very insulting whenever people like @JDVance comes over here and tells us we have frail democracies, knowing full well how awful their own election system is. And I haven't even gotten to their 2-tiered FPTP system yet, which causes there to only ever be two parties.

I see many Americans interpreting the Greenlandic result as a mandate for America to take it because it supposedly indicates interest to be American. The truth is that the only party that wants Greenland to be American got 1% of the vote, the remaining are for independence, however 75% of the vote is for "slow independence", which is basically the status quo. This means that Denmark has time to salvage this relationship, and it also means that Trump got soundly rejected. He actually got rejected harder than I expected - polls showed 6% for being American. It turned out to be 1%. They didn't even get a seat in parliament.

Twitter posts were always and are still too short to carry across subtleties or discuss all sides. Now that international politics are based on X posts, the political climate is shaking wildly because too many things are said without saying all the other things that must be said, and very angry exchanges are made in public where there is only a detail in disagreement. Now we're in a situation where every morning you wake up something seismic and crazy has happened on the world stage, and then the next morning it actually wasn't like that at all because there were these 8 other things that weren't said. Back in 2020 I closed my Twitter because of this. It can be very stressful to use this platform because of this issue. I came back, figuring allowing larger posts would alleviate this issue. I was wrong. Worse still, the entire world is now reeling under the terrible pressure of what I noticed all those years ago.
