harc@szmer.infoto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Is it possible to redirect WhatsApp and Signal calls to a landline?English8·3 months agoInteresting concept. There’s https://github.com/AsamK/signal-cli which specifically allows piping messages from Signal to another process, but at a glance its not clear if it allows for that with audio calls.

To my own surprise (I pass their factory few times a week) - not any more.
In June 2010, Kraft Foods Inc sold Wedel to Lotte Group, a South Korean-Japanese conglomerate, as part of their enforced divestment program of certain parts of the Cadbury plc, which it had acquired in March 2010.
During a public talk at the University of Washington in 1998, Microsoft founder Bill Gates admitted, “Although about three million computers get sold every year in China, people don’t pay for the software. Someday they will, though. And as long as they’re going to steal it, we want them to steal ours. They’ll get sort of addicted, and then we’ll somehow figure out how to collect sometime in the next decade.”

harc@szmer.infoto World News@lemmy.world•European leaders throw support behind Zelenskyy after heated Trump meetingEnglish101·4 months agoIn a way jt is fascinating to watch the US goverment dismantle their empire on fast forward. With this single “conversation” they undermined every security deal they had anywhere in the world.
Wonder if some hardliners from CIA or such will decide to sort out this threat to their power, or will they just accept going down.

harc@szmer.infoto World News@lemmy.world•Leftist presidential candidate Zandberg says Poland needs at least eight nuclear reactorsEnglish6·4 months agoAs far as I agree generally its a term also used in Poland. It regained popularity due to the far right using it to stigmatize anything loosely associated with left wing values, but it was actually coined… by the communist regime apparatchiks to mark out dissenters. There’s a pretty interesting Polish book on the term itself. BTW Polish radio is a state owned media.
Oh, anyone reads these? Thats all the motivation I needed to keep the neverending flames going!
