Sorry all! Been away from the computer.

Since re-posting this I've learned it's a fake.

President Scheinbaum did NOT say the following:

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum addresses Trump:

“So, you voted to build a wall.

Well, dear Americans, even if you don’t understand much about geography, since for you America is your country and not a continent, it is important for you to know, before the first brick is laid, that there are 7 billion people beyond that wall.

But since you don’t really know the term “people,” we will call them “consumers.” There are 7 billion consumers ready to replace their iPhones with Samsung or Huawei devices in less than 42 hours.

They can also replace Levi’s with Zara or Massimo Duti.

In less than six months, we can easily stop buying Ford or Chevrolet cars and replace them with Toyota, KIA, Mazda, Honda, Hyundai, Volvo, Subaru, Renault or BMW, which are technically better than the cars they produce. These 7 billion people can also stop subscribing to Direct TV, and we don't want to do that, but we can stop watching Hollywood movies and start watching more Latin American or European productions that have better quality, message, cinematic techniques and content.

Although it may sound incredible, we can skip Disney and go to the Xcaret resort in Cancun, Mexico, Canada or Europe: there are other great destinations in South America, East America and Europe.

And even if you don't believe it, even in Mexico there are better hamburgers than McDonald's and they have better nutritional content.

Has anyone seen pyramids in the United States? In Egypt, Mexico, Peru, Guatemala, Sudan and other countries there are pyramids with incredible civilizations.

Find out where to find the wonders of the ancient and modern world. None of them in the US. Shame on Trump, he would have bought them and sold them!

We know that Adidas exists, not just Nike, and we can start wearing Mexican sneakers like Panam. We know more than you think.

We know, for example, that if these 7 billion consumers don't buy their products, there will be unemployment and their economy will collapse (within the racist wall) to such an extent that they will beg us to tear down this ugly wall.

We didn't want to, but....

You want a wall, you get a wall. Sincerely yours."

Es sieht einfach sehr cool aus, wenn ein eine Zugmaschine (ohne Last) zum Laden auf einen Supermarktparkplatz fährt und den Schnelllader einsteckt 😎

Just a reminder that unlike virtually every other technology news website, @osnews is Fedi-first. Fedi is not an afterthought for me, not a box to check in the social buttons widget. There's no Twitter account, no Facebook, no Instagram, no Threads, nothing. We do have an account on BS, but I didn't set it up, I don't monitor it, have never opened it, and I doubt it has many followers.

Regardless, I consider Fedi the only valid social media, and OSNews reflects that.

Die EU zahlt ein Vermögen für kaputte Software, kritisiert Michiel Leenaars von der niederländischen NLnet Foundation im Interview. Mit seinem Team unterstützt er quelloffene, kostenlose Lösungen, und zwar mit Geldern der EU. Damit könnte aber bald Schluss sein.

NEW: The Minerva Research Initiative, established by the #Pentagon to fund social science relevant to national security, is being gutted. Dozens of researchers studying threats from #extremist groups, #misinformation or climate change have received notices that their grants are being terminated.

The headline in the second image casts light on the headline in the first image.

If you're in America, you are likely only seeing the first headline.

Die Einwohnerzahlen sprechen eine deutliche Sprache:
EU: 450 Mio. Menschen
Kanada: 40 Mio. Menschen
Mexiko: 131 Mio. Menschen
gemeinsamer Wirtschaftsraum der westlichen Welt aus EU/Kanada/Mexiko mithin: 620 Mio. Menschen (die nicht der EU angehörenden westeuropäischen Staaten kommen noch hinzu)

demgegenüber
USA: 340 Mio.
Russland: 144 Mio.

Die Zahlen machen es deutlich: Westeuropa muss sich vor einer wirtschaftlichen Auseinandersetzung nicht fürchten - *wenn* es zusammenhält!

This is the most important comment I have heard this week — Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk:

“500 million Europeans are asking 300 million Americans to defend them against 140 million Russians […] Europe, if there is something we lack today, it is not economic or demographic power, but the belief that we are truly a global force.”

I think Tusk hits the bullseye here. Those 140 million Russians are already fully occupied by fighting Ukraine, and our leaders act like we are Liechtenstein.

Serwas ☝️ sind wir jetzt echt die erste #Kletterhalle mit nem Account hier 🤔

Dann wollen wir mal sehen, ob wir hier mehr als 3 Follower zusammen bekommen. Dann können wir auch getrost unsere Metaaccounts einstampfen #unplugtrump
