New comment by fodmap in "Denmark was reportedly preparing for full-scale war with the US over Greenland"

fodmap — Thu, 19 Mar 2026 12:31:55 +0000

'Until early in 1778, the American Revolution was a civil war within the British Empire, but it became an international war as France (in 1778) and Spain (in 1779) joined the colonies against Britain. The Netherlands, which was engaged in its own war with Britain, provided financial support for the Americans as well as official recognition of their independence. The French navy in particular played a key role in bringing about the British surrender at Yorktown, which effectively ended the war.'

The University of Maryland, Baltimore, 'is charting unexplored territory in human biology. Using our cutting-edge Smart Underwear device - a comfortable non-invasive wearable that simply snaps onto any underwear material - we're building the first comprehensive database of real-world flatus patterns, transforming an embarrassing taboo into empowering health data.'

Can you access their websites without the need to confirm 'who you are' with their app? In my case, not anymore.

My bank used to have other options but it has made mandatory the use of their app.

My bank used to have it as well but not anymore. I wonder for how long Triodos will be able to keep that option.

My bank offered that option but not anymore. The use of their app is mandatory now.

Edit to add this anecdote. My bank told me I need to use their app because SMS is not secure, but you need to activate their app using an SMS code!

> It's mind boggingly stupid that they lock down apps like this, when you can just open the thing in a website anyway. I can use my bank on some linux distro...

Not in Spain. I can access my bank's website but I can't do anything without their bank app. Even sometimes they require to confirm my identity using their app in order to access their website.

I have several linux phones but I can only do banking with their app downloaded from Aurora Store in my Vollaphone.

(Almost?) all these EU efforts to be independent from the USA are born with a fatal flaw. They require you need to be an Apple user or a Google user.

Both. '...all parties settled on a co-existence agreement that stated that the Cornell-UVA project could use the name when clearly associated with open source software for digital object repository systems and that Red Hat could use the name when it was clearly associated with open source computer operating systems.'

To avoid misunderstandings, this repository is about a project at Cornell University named the Flexible Extensible Digital Object Repository Architecture (FEDORA), not a Red Hat one.

Exactly. It'd be great a genuine collective European effort to make a Linux phone.

Another crucial point is to push for open standards for those apps that only work on Android or iOS.

You didn't need to create a new account just to say something that is not true ;)

You'd say that most people don't know about Linux phones, but for those who know, Volla running Ubuntu is pretty well known, at least in Europe.

Don't confuse Jolla https://jolla.com/ with Volla https://volla.online/en/index.php

Both are European companys with a great privacy drive.
