Does this marvellous trick, perchance, work in the profile, too?

on If Poland Gets a US Base It’ll Be Called Fort Trump, Nawrocki Says in c/europe@feddit.org · 13h ago
I’d sure hope it’s will be finished after Trump’s term so the can reconsider the name.
I don’t think Trump’s term will end in any other way than by his death, regardless of when that will happen, and then his successors will either name it after him in his memory, or will name it after themselves. So instead of Fort Trump, we might be getting a “J.D. Vance army barracks and couch emporium”, or, if the succession goes more the way of a hereditary monarchy, it’ll still be named after a Trump, just a different one.

He will be supervising the operation, but he is a very busy man.

German CEOs outsourcing production to China in order to increase their profits ate what was left of Germany’s lunch long ago.

When it comes to MAGA levels of cleptocracy and corruption, Spahn already did that, by stealing several billions for his cronies. With zero consequences.

You forgot decades of enshittification in order to maximally capitalise on the international luxury market rather than building quality products that earned them the reputation that allowed them to do so in the first place.

It’s actually quite easy. If cookies are needed for the technical function of a service, they are justified. I don’t see how a website serving news articles would need to preserve state via cookies in order to function properly.
And no, doing “visitor statistics” is no valid reason nor an essential function.
The websites that do so liberally dump their entire cookie jar on their users, and spam them with this annoyance, are doing so, because they have ulterior motives, like collecting and selling user data to advertisers.

Of all the armaments manufacturers that are currently expanding and looking for manufacturing capacities, they had to pick one from a country currently committing a genocide, and a war of aggression.
If they hadn’t already sacrificed their once famed quality to enshittification long ago, that would be a good reason not to buy anything from VW.

on Volkswagen management proposes shutdown of four German plants by 2034, WiWo reports in c/europe@feddit.org · 3 Sep 2026
Holy shit that is so spot on.
I grew up with VW cars from the 1980s and '90s. I miss their quality and simplicity. If anything broke on them, you could often fix it yourself with a relatively limited mechanical skillset and toolbox.
Same for BMW and Mercedes. They went from expensive aspirational cars to lease and dump specials.
Yes, the other German manufacturers went the same route.

VW went to shit long before electric cars became usable. They ceased building reliable, affordable, and repairable everyday cars in favour of targeting the international upscale market by exploitig their hard earned reputation for quality some time in the mid 2000s. In order to increase profits, they did, however, constantly reduce actual quality in favour of flashy gimmicks. This will only work for so long, because at some point, your reputation is ruined and you run out of wealthy idiots who will still buy your scrap.
The UK is like the EU’s cat. Incessantly meowing at the door to be let out, only to go back to meowing at the other side of the door to be let back in the very moment it actually is let out.
