Serbia's government sees its cultural war against Bulgaria moving home in c/balkanika@feddit.bg
[–] mapto@masto.bg 1 points 58 minutes ago

@tentaclius @mapto@feddit.bg Bulgarian pot bellies are too far away from anything different than making money. This wouldn't have been such a big problem per se if Bulgarians weren't too far away from getting them removed. I guess without your first passport, you're better off elsewhere unfortunately.

@tentaclius @mapto@feddit.bg I actually thought it's easy to get residence and work permit. In my head it is then only a matter of time. So it isn't then?

Industrial farming in the EU is out of control and is destroying our environment

Someone might think in Europe things are not as bad as in the US, but higher population density means more toxicity per area. In the Balkans the numbers might be lower for now, but we all know control is also weaker.

A report by IBM explains part of the hype around GenAI:

25% of AI initiatives have delivered expected ROI over the last few years

52% of CEOs say their organization is realizing value from generative AI investments beyond cost reduction

For 64% of CEOs the risk of falling behind drives investment in some technologies before they have a clear understanding of the value they bring, but only 37% prefer to be “fast and wrong” than “right and slow”

Serbian Government Minister Calls for Belgrade University Rector's Arrest

Clearly unaware of the notion of academic freedom:
"Serbia's Public Investment Minister Darko Glisic on Friday called for the arrest of the Rector of the University of Belgrade, Vladan Djokic, over his support for the students who have been blocking more than 60 university faculties across Serbia in anti-corruption protests which began in November 2024."

@lurch they thrive on the same fears as AfD, at least CSU does.

@avidamoeba I was expecting CSU (the Bavarian sister party which is much more hard-line) to be the first ones, but CDU beat them to it

Он сравнивает возможные сценарии с историей 1917 года, но с существенными различиями: "Февраль практически неизбежен, а вот с Октябрем есть сомнения: для него нет субъекта, способного повести за собой массы, как большевики в начале прошлого века".
