@GergelyOrosz A lot of internal AWS services quietly depend on dynamo (like the global IAM for example), so when it goes down, it takes everything with it (even if you host everything in eu-west-2)

Introducing the iPhone Classic: a compact 5.4" display that fits perfectly in one hand. Your move, @Apple 💅

Backpedaling on Winter Fuel Payments was a mistake, but it had to be done for it to stop overshadowing PM's other achievements

Starting to develop a knack for recognising vibe-coded projects. I've got nothing against LLM assisted coding, on the contrary, I think everyone should try it! My concern is the security implications of shipping unsupervised code to production

BREAKING!!

Rubio threatens to 'move on' from Ukraine, and just hours later Vance says he's optimistic peace can be achieved. The US foreign policy machine isn't just left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing - it's both hands slapping each other while brain is on airplane mode.

[Roman @romantomjak]

In short, US tried to extort Ukraine, lifted sanctions on Russia and let them continue bombing Ukraine while they 'continue talks'. Stellar diplomacy from Trump. 2/2

[Roman @romantomjak]

US pushed to 'broker peace'. Ukraine accepted a brutal minerals deal proposed by US immediately, but Russia stalled for weeks without agreeing to anything. Now US is ready to 'move on' if no progress soon. 1/2

I think... I can see... yes... I see exactly zero consequences for Mr Trump 🤷‍♂️

NASDAQ call volume spiked minutes before the 90 day tariff pause was announced.

Not a good look at all.

Latvian defence minister announcing 1,500 combat drone shipment to Ukraine. Latvia has commited to send 12,000 drones by mid-2025 with total worth of €17m 🇱🇻🤝 🇺🇦

America used to have all the cards. Now it's unelected billionaires in government positions firing people investigating them for fraud. The White House is advertising Teslas. The country is lead by a boy throwing tantrums, making deals with adversaries and fighting with allies

Anyone: points out obvious corruption with specific dates and names
MAGA: that's wrong, what proof do you have?

MAGA supporters never provide any counter evidence and always shift the responsibility of proving them wrong onto you. It's quite genious, actually.

[Roman @romantomjak]

It’s almost comical how Trump does more for Russia than the Russian president. Every time I think he’s done the worst possible thing, he somehow just makes it even worse

[Roman @romantomjak]

Why does @mozilla keep relying on deals with Google? With ~160M MAUs, just 5% paying £5/month could fund Firefox independently (£480M/yr), more than Google deal ($450M/3y) — and without selling data. It's a no brainer

Called this less than a day ago 😂 Trump to announce a 25% tariff on EU imports 'very soon' https://t.co/NkCIg8xmA0

France getting hit with that 25% import tarrif next week for correcting Trump's statement about financial support for Ukraine
