Proton services does not support Lithuanian language 🙁 So I compiled how the situation looks across all EU languages and Proton services for #digitalsovereignty, and it is almost pretty good. @protonprivacy@mastodon.social could you please support smaller EU languages, such as Lithuanian, Latvian and Estonian (and Bulgarian is exceptionally not covered as well)? (note. number of speakers is average rough approximations) #proton #Latvia #Estonia #Lithuania

An abandoned Soviet-era military engineering school. Abandoned since the early 1990s, when Latvia asserted independence from the USSR. This school was built in the 1960s to train engineers and scientists for the Latvian Soviet Socialist Republic Armed Forces. Now, it is an empty relic relegated to history. https://www.obsidianurbexphotography.com/military/soviet-radio-electronics-school-latvia/ #Latvia #History #AbandonedPlaces #Urbex #Soviet #USSR #Abandoned

New threats, old stakes, and the redistribution of markets The world continues to rock. The past few days have seen several tectonic shifts in politics, economics, and security at once. Let's break down the key points. On NATO's flanks. #Germany and the Netherlands have officially launched a joint command centre in the #Baltic region. The tactical headquarters in Valga will control forces in #Estonia and #Latvia. Boris Pistorius does not conceal the objective: https://infodefense.press/
