Thank you for explaining absolutely nothing. "oh look, someone has a question? will I answer it or call them an idiot? let me be completely unhelpful and call them an idiot".

Thanks. @Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net really should've provided a source...

That does sound like a right-winger 🤔 Best guess I've seen so far. Thanks.

‘100 calls per month’: Why U.S. doctors are looking to move to Canada - National | Globalnews.ca in c/canada@lemmy.ca
[–] atro_city@fedia.io 2 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

There must be a reason why there aren't enough Canadian doctors. If that isn't resolved, getting more doctors and medical staff from the US is just going to be a stop-gap solution. It might actually convince politicians that "nothing is wrong" and reduce or eliminate their willingness to fix the existing problems.

Could somebody explain why Canada has a doctor's shortage? And maybe also how they imagine it should be addressed?

Explain it to us.

Maybe, but I'd like to understand the joke / "joke", if there's anything to understand. It could be just "hurdur, I insulted them by saying gender because they're young" or maybe there really is some kind of reasoning.

Investors flee U.S. stocks as markets react sharply to Trump's tariff plan in c/economics@lemmy.world
[–] atro_city@fedia.io 2 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

I think you underestimate the news cycle and how forgetful people are. If Trump suddenly became friendly, there'd be politicians all over the world "breathing a sigh of relief" and saying "things are back to normal". They love the status quo.

Exploring Reddit Propaganda in Canada in c/canada@lemmy.ca

Someone should tell the /r/canada mods to promote lemmy. Reddit is just a propaganda platform for the rich.

Ethics does not exist in these people's vocabularies. They should be sent to the front line as punishment.

SOUTH KOREA IS OVER [14:46] (youtu.be)
 

South Korea is heading toward a demographic collapse unlike anything the world has seen before. With the lowest fertility rate ever recorded and a rapidly aging population, the country faces a future of economic decline, shrinking cities, cultural erosion, and a vanishing workforce.
By 2060, nearly half of South Koreans could be over the age of 65, and entire regions may be abandoned as the population continues to shrink.
How did South Korea reach this point? Why might it no longer be possible to reverse the trend? And what does this mean for other countries on a similar path?

EU Commission shut down the petition for an EU Linux on 10 January 2025 (www.europarl.europa.eu)
 

Initial petition

Important part of @EUCommission's response:

Conclusion

While there is currently no formal project to establish an "EU Linux," there are many ongoing
initiatives that support the adoption of open source solutions within public administrations
across Member States. These efforts contribute to the EU’s broader objectives of transparency,
security, and technological independence in the digital domain.

iPhone users do not need to give Malus 30% when purchasing apps on their store: use AltStore (altstore.io)
 

AltStore is an alternative app store that allows EU users to install apps from different sources. It is opensource.

The privacy policy indicates it's main office is in the US

AltStore, LLC.
4130 BOWSER AVE.
DALLAS, TX 75219
UNITED STATES

However, I consider it to be a good first step away from the AppStore because it's opensource. Others are very welcome to suggest real EU alternative app store for the iPhone.

Can Germany attract US researchers? | DW News (youtu.be)
 

Trump has slashed education funding, meaning many US universities are facing hiring freezes and budget constraints. Economist Monika Schnitzer speaks to DW's Marie Sina about the opportunities for German universities and research institutions to tempt academics and scientists to cross the pond.

I think this is related to Europe as it may try to take advantage of the current situation in the US to its advantage. This one focuses on Germany.

Are there any good European websites to sell art with? (fedia.io)
 

There are a few US websites that allow you to upload your art and then it can be sold as a poster, postcard, on a cup, t-shirt, etc. all on the same website.

Is there something like that that is European? At least for posters...

EU stickerpack? (fedia.io)
 

I haven't been able to find one. Neither for signal nor anywhere else. Does one exist and I just can't find it? Or should we crowdsource one together?

Does anybody know/have a Boycott USA stickerpack? (fedia.io)
 

Signal, Telegram, and I think even Whatsapp have stickerpacks. Does anybody know a stickerpack for this cause? If not, we could crowdsource a stickerpack :)

More and more people trying to visit the United States end up behind bars | DW News (youtu.be)
 

Immigration attorneys have begun advising people to ensure their social media profiles are free of criticism of the US administration to increase their chances of entering the country.

"Free speech."

"Most free country in the world."

Do not visit the US. You may be the next to be detained.
