🇨🇿 Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavský sharply responded to Trump’s envoy Kellogg on NATO expansion, stating: "NATO expansion aligns with Russia’s security interests. Where Russia borders NATO countries, there is no war. In other regions, conflict continues."

While Hungary's ruling party seeks to undermine the independent press and NGOs, its website proclaims that “supportive Hungarian citizens” can send them donations from abroad. But how do they verify that the donors are actually Hungarian citizens?

#Hungarian doublespeak. #Soverenity Protection Office in a de facto satelite state of #russia will 'monitor' the remnants of free press and NGOs and the new Kremlin-style new law is called #transparency bill. You can't make this up.

Justice Committee of Hungarian Parliament approves amended transparency bill, with further restrictions for those affected by it

One amendment suggests retroactively taking away donations given to NGOs and independent media on the government’s list and giving them to a foundation established by the government earlier this year.

Ondertussen heb ik een eerste versie van https://appdwang.nl online gezet, gebaseerd op het werk van @appzwang.

De verschuiving van open standaarden zoals HTML5 naar "apps" die slechts op twee Amerikaanse platformen werken is dramatisch voor onze vrijheid, privacy en soevereiniteit.

Ik hoop er binnenkort nog meer adviezen, nieuws en voorbeeldbrieven aan toe te voegen. Alle hulp is welkom natuurlijk.

Bied weerstand tegen appdwang! | appdwang.nl

"The future is dangerous. Don't go any further. Please."

Lost in Translation: A fascinating example of how language nuances can change the tone of a message.
The Japanese sign at Hotel Balmoral Karuizawa politely warns of danger ahead, while the English translation takes on a more ominous tone.
