@SamsenBdRi Those 2000 jobs... you know what, fuck them. The rest of the EU is ramping up a large build-out of new energy infra; if they can't find a use for aluminum in that then I have to question whether they're being honest.

We are 1536 days into the Ukraine war, and Ireland is still helping the Russian weapons factories with raw materials. -

Huge respect for the EU Commission, @EUCommission, who have updated their webpage with a new follow button — X is out, Mastodon is in!@gunchleoc Sincerely doubt that. It doesn't take nine years to fix something like this, and if it took that long to recognize it as a priority then they don't know what they are doing.

Huge respect for the EU Commission, @EUCommission, who have updated their webpage with a new follow button — X is out, Mastodon is in!@randahl I know that few people reading this care, because fedi has become a self-selecting demo of IT enthusiasts/experts. But this kind of broken UX matters to most nontechnical users; it drives them away.
Note how this doesn't affect Bluesky or other services that use similar https: links. That's because unlike fedi the address that handles the UI and logins is centralized (i.e. 'bsky.app').

Huge respect for the EU Commission, @EUCommission, who have updated their webpage with a new follow button — X is out, Mastodon is in!@randahl These "Share on Mastodon" sightings always interest me because they're so rare.
They're always broken, which I think is why they're rare.
Anyone who clicks on that link will end up at the wrong place. The 'ec.socialnetwork.europa.eu' web server won't recognize your fedi login, and if you use a native fedi app, there's no way for that link to take you to it.
Fedi is like email, but didn't copy email's 'mailto:' protocol definition, allowing smooth UX across different sites and apps.
