"Ich bin Marine!", erklärte Orban kurz nach der Urteilsverkündung auf Französisch im Onlinedienst X. Le Quelle

    
"Ich bin Marine!"-Checkliste:

[ ] Faschist
[ ] veruntreut EU-Gelder
[ ] kein Schuldbewusstsein
[ ] verurteilt 


  

Die Aussage ist (passend zu X) wohl nicht ganz wahr, da nicht alles auf der Liste abgehakt werden kann.

If you steal copyrighted content for profit are the fines than something like $625 billion per 10 million books?

She was ordered to pay 62,500 dollars for each of the 24 songs, a total of 1.5 million dollars.

For me it started with online purchases of books when the web went commercial. Later still books, music and audio books (CD), movies (DVD, Blurays), electronics, computer consoles and games, physical games, PC hardware, and more often used goods via marketplace.

In Germany we also have many good alternatives. Online I use for example Thalia, Booklooker, Zweitausendeins, Technikdirekt, Roboter-Bausatz, Alternate, Rebuy, Medimops, Konsolekost, ... And from Poland of course GOG, my favourite game store :)

Wir würden ja wirklich gerne, aber der Exportüberschuss... dann hagelt es wieder Zölle und Zoff. /s

Have created my Codeberg account two days ago and moved my very slim repo over from GitHub. o7

Nice. Unfortunately it is really with paywall.

This sounds interesting, thanks for sharing. Have now read through the page and FAQ. Is my understand correctly, that this app is only for paying in offline world, not for online purchases like e.g. PayPal?

I have brought my family to Threema and Signal (when Corona started). But Matrix would not work for them I fear.

Matrix and Threema come to my mind.

This statement is total nonsense!

We use the same, as it has DWD (Deutscher Wetter Dienst) data for our region, nice widgets and it can provide weather to wearables via Gadgetbridge.

Ich finde es gut, dass Du den Rest soweit gekündigt und gelöscht hast. Muss ja nicht alles auf einmal gekündigt werden.

You are right about other manufactors. But many analysts and news sources see a clear effect from boycott, brand rot and Musk-dislike, too. Here are few examples:

https://www.businessinsider.de/wirtschaft/die-tesla-aktien-stuerzen-ab-musk-verliert-milliarden-das-sind-die-gruende/ ::: spoiler German version

Das Nettovermögen von Elon Musk ist in diesem Jahr aufgrund des Einbruchs der Tesla-Aktie um 102 Milliarden Dollar (94 Milliarden Euro) gesunken.

Die Tesla-Aktie wurde durch Verkaufsrückgänge, politische Abneigung gegen Musk und Ablenkungsbedenken in Mitleidenschaft gezogen.

:::

Elon Musk's net worth has dropped by $102 billion (94 billion euros) this year due to the collapse of Tesla's stock.

The Tesla stock has been affected by sales declines, political dislike of Musk, and distraction concerns.

https://www.20min.ch/story/aktie-absturz-elon-musk-verliert-ein-viertel-seines-vermoegens-103297016

The Tesla stock has lost a lot of value in the last two and a half months. CEO Elon Musk now has to make do with $128 billion less.

The reason for the nervousness in the stock markets in recent weeks is the fear of a global trade war after US President Trump repeatedly threatened and temporarily implemented punitive tariffs against China, Mexico, and Canada.

Tesla is also struggling with poor sales figures in Europe. According to the figures released on Monday, sales in Europe in January were 45 percent lower than in the same month last year. According to the report, only about 10,000 Tesla vehicles were sold on the continent last month.

Here also two recent news about how drastic the crash of Tesla sale and share is:

Die Absatzflaute von Tesla hat sich im Februar 2025 fortgesetzt. Nach Angaben des Kraftfahrt-Bundesamtes (KBA) sank die Zahl der Neuzulassungen des US-Elektroautoherstellers in Deutschland im Jahresvergleich um 76,3 Prozent.

Insgesamt legte der Verkauf von Elektroautos hingegen um 30,8 Prozent zu. Schon im Januar 2025 gingen die Zulassungszahlen von Tesla um 60 Prozent zurück.

Tesla's sales slump continued in February 2025. According to the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA), the number of new registrations of the US electric car manufacturer in Germany fell by 76.3 percent year-on-year.

Overall, however, electric car sales increased by 30.8 percent. As early as January 2025, Tesla's registration figures fell by 60 percent.

In Europa und Nordamerika hat Tesla Probleme. Nun sind auch im wichtigsten Absatzmarkt China die Verkaufszahlen des E-Auto-Herstellers eingebrochen. Das US-Unternehmen verkaufte dort im Februar 30.688 Fahrzeuge – 49 Prozent weniger als im Februar 2024, wie der chinesische Branchenverband CPCA mitteilt.

Der Kursabsturz der Tesla-Aktie setzt sich fort. Der Kurswert sackte bis Dienstagabend um rund fünf Prozent ab. Seit Mitte Dezember hat Tesla mehr als ein Drittel seiner Marktkapitalisierung verloren.

Tesla is facing problems in Europe and North America. Now, sales figures for the e-car manufacturer have also plummeted in the most important market, China. The US company sold 30,688 vehicles there in February – 49 percent less than in February 2024, as the Chinese industry association CPCA reports.

The crash of Tesla's stock continues. The share price dropped by around five percent by Tuesday evening. Since mid-December, Tesla has lost more than a third of its market capitalization.

Keep up the boycott and protests, it is working. Make Musk poor!

Had many hours of fun with their puzzles. There is a typo in title, should be "Ravensburger"

We (as family) decided to show face and purchased some EU merch. Yesterday we raised our new 150x100cm² EU-flag. Also we started putting stickers on our vehicles, like the EU flag and in EU blue/yellow Love Life, Live Free. Small things, but we feel bit better through this.

Regarding your sale of old things, although not having used it by myself, I have heard good things about European https://www.vinted.com/ , maybe it works for your region and purpose.

What else can be done:

• remain positive
• spread the word and talk to friends and families about what is important to you and why
• trust in well-founded science and facts and help spreading those facts against lies and propaganda
• if your are a techie, you can help friends and family to use Linux on their PCs, instead of upcoming Win11
• not sure how this can work, but it would help to free as many people from big tech "social media" as possible

This is a good time for comprehensible, scientifically sound education. Furthermore, the sources of the lies should be identified and exposed as such. Both on a large scale.

Congratulations, well done and said 🎉

Since 25 years I am an Amazon customer. Since 2017 I am actively trying to avoid Amazon and use alternatives as much as possible, but still had purchases with Amazon.

Yesterday (cause of this call for boycott) I started my personal full exit from Amazon by dumping all my orders from 2004 to 2025 into local files. Had to use a "Chrome" browser (used Brave browser) with this extension: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/amazon-order-history-repo/mgkilgclilajckgnedgjgnfdokkgnibi - took few minutes until I understood its usage, but on the extension page there is a good manual. So in the end I got all my orders with date, price, name, .. in CSV files.

Also I have requested all my Amazon stored data by DSGVO (GDPR) request, but this can take up to one month (according to them). So deleting my account during this boycott week is not likely :(

Remaining steps are:

• check if there is any more important relevant information stored with my account
• check if there is a way to download all invoices and do it
• check from which international Amazon I have purchases (I remember at least U.S. and Japan), and do the same there
• export my rather large wish-lists, which I used to track products and prices (will just print them into PDFs)
• write letter about reasons to leave Amazon as long-time customer
• cancel my account
• publish a HOWTO get rid of Amazon

While I sympathize with the independent sellers, Amazon has become a natural target for the growing global boycotts. This could be an opportunity for sellers to explore alternative platforms that prioritize human rights, worker dignity, and environmental responsibility.

"Cozying up to the current U.S. administration" will have its consequences. Nothing goes unpunished. The U.S. has pissed off billions, and Amazon, along with other fascist supporters, will face the harsh reality of their actions this year.

In 1995 we boycotted Shell for environmental reasons and it worked: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brent_Spar

Towing of the platform to its final position began on 11 June. By this time, the call for a boycott of Shell products was being heeded across much of continental northern Europe, damaging Shell's profitability as well as brand image. [...]

On 20 June, Shell had decided that their position was no longer tenable, and withdrew their plan to sink the Brent Spar [...]

So it needed more than a week of concerted boycott action to bring big business into trouble, but not unlimited boycott.
