Vogt am Freitag: X-itus
Eigentlich sollten alle (vernünftigen) Menschen X längst verlassen haben. Nach den neusten Entwicklungen scheint der Entscheid für Kolumnist Reto Vogt nun aber zwingender denn je. In der richtigen Welt hat das Jahr 2026 denkbar schlecht angefangen mit der Katastrophe in Crans-Montana und Trumps völkerrechtswidrigem Angriff auf Venezuela. Aber auch im Digitalen hat sich die Situation […]

The Prime Minister of Denmark Mette Frederiksen to the United States:

“The Kingdom of Denmark, and thus Greenland, is a member of NATO and is therefore covered by the Alliance’s collective security guarantee.” I “strongly urge the United States to cease its threats.”
It makes absolutely no sense to speak of any necessity for the United States to take over Greenland. The United States has no legal basis to annex one of the three countries of the Kingdom of Denmark. The Kingdom of Denmark - and thus Greenland — is a member of NATO and is therefore covered by the Alliance's collective security guarantee. We already have a defence agreement between the Kingdom of Denmark and the United States that grants the U.S. broad access to Greenland. In addition, the Kingdom has made significant investments in security in the Arctic. It makes absolutely no sense to speak of any necessity for the United States to take over Greenland.

The Prime Minister of Greenland Jens-Frederik Nielsen to the United States:

“Enough is enough.”
We have been a close and loyal friend of the United States for generations. We have stood shoulder to shoulder in difficult times. We have taken responsibility for security in the North Atlantic - and not least for North America. That is what true friends do. Precisely for that reason, the current and repeated rhetoric coming from the United States is entirely unacceptable. When the President of the United States speaks of "needing Greenland" and links us to Venezuela and military intervention, it is not only wrong. It is disrespectful. Our country is not an object in great-power rhetoric. We are a people. A country. A democracy. That must be respected — especially by close and loyal friends. We are part of NATO, and we are fully aware of our country's strategic location. We also understand that our security depends on good friends and strong alliances. In that context, a respectful and loyal relationship with the United States is very important. That has been the case for decades. But alliances are built on trust. And trust requires respect. Threats, pressure, and talk of annexation have no place between friends. That is not how one speaks to a people who have repeatedly demonstrated responsibility, stability, and loyalty. Enough is enough. No more pressure. No more insinuations. No more fantasies of annexation. We are open to dialogue. We are open to conversations. But they must take place through the proper channels and in full respect of international law. And the proper channels are not random and disrespectful posts on social media. Greenland is our home and our territory. And it will remain so.

Die #db_bahn will etwas für‘s Image tun, im Falle der DB etwas schwierig, aber schön. Ein ICE in der Winterlandschaft der Schweiz gefilmt, (Spiez - Interlaken) der da übrigens von SBB-Lokführern geführt wird, ist vielleicht passend zum Lied, aber sicher nicht wirklich zur DB.

Wenn Deutschland und EU auf die HateAid-Geschichte nicht klar und hart reagieren, und den USA erst den Stinkefinger, dann den Vogel zeigen, wird das Trump-Regime uns morgen vorschreiben, die Energiewende zu stoppen, übermorgen die Ehe für alle, und am Tag danach Orban als Kaiser von Europa fordern.

I try, once more, to lobby for a proper format=flowed support at @protonprivacy

https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/284483-proton-mail-calendar/suggestions/50753063-proper-support-for-format-flowed

#emacs and #neomutt, #mutt users will understand!

#plaintextMail
Proper support for Format=flowed
Proton is particularly bad at supporting plain text email. There’s no support for format=flowed in the interface but, even worse : any mail sent through Proton SMTP will see its format=flowed header removed. This was a bug highly discussed in the Bridge Github ticketing system before it was sent offline. Please allow people to use Proton and the Bridge through plaintext (Mutt, Emacs, Alpine are widely used amongst the privacy geeks crowd)
