German army struggles to get Gen Z recruits ‘ready for war’ in c/[email protected]

Well, also the people that are suddenly drafted to fight will lose a lot. For a lot of people it’s a question to choose between:

  • Do I fight for my country (that I don’t necessary align with)
  • Do I wait until the enemy gets here and drafts me to fight for him

And while the first option is not great, the second one sounds a lot worse.

Yep, the ping from the original post didn’t work. I only got notified about this comment.

Weather applications (feddit.org)
 

What are you favorite European weather applications/webpages? At the moment I’m using https://www.yr.no/, but I don’t completely like the design of their application. I mostly don’t like the fact that each day is split into 4 segments instead of showing one line per day. It might sound like a minor thing (and it really is), but if someone knows other good alternatives please share your experiences.

Slovakian crowds continue protest against pro-Russian policies of populist premier Robert Fico in c/[email protected]

Been there. It wasn’t as crowded as “first” protest that was over a month ago, but there was nice energy today. Although one might argue these protests aren’t changing much, there are still people that are not giving up and it’s great seeing that.

Honestly it didn’t even occur to me that this could be a problem somewhere in this day and age. I don’t even remember when was the last time my bank sent me an SMS for MFA, but it’s a good point for people in US.

I’m not an expert in this field, so other people might have something else to add, but my takeaway is mostly - do not rely on phone services. Don’t use MFA via SMS, etc. Most of the issues described, you can avoid if you’re careful, except the geolocation issue.
