I loved my Nokia N9 made in Finland. Great hardware and the UI was a gem!

I've always seen weights as akin to configuration files.

Probably the social aspect allowing for comments and upvotes/downvotes

What happens to Mullvad?

"Acts" don't exist in EU law. You either have Regulations (which become law after being approved) and Directives (which member states are bound to implement in their own legislation). "EU Acts" are just the new BS PR way to add yet another level of abstraction to European politics.

One of the last giants, signing the end of an era. While not perfect, like anyone, he marked both Italian and European politics of his singular approach and proverbial ball. Politics now are becoming much more dull and suffering of a lack of vision.

Glad to see this pop up. Local models are vital for privacy!

GPG key management should have been built into vCard and CardDAV! It's such a missed opportunity!

Hopefully non AI propaganda will be squashed too through efforts to fight it.

Most alternative linux based operating systems such as Sailfish OS(0.) or PureOS(1.) are perfectly able to run Android apps. It is purely a licensing issue.

They should have awarded tokens for each block computed. Turned it into a blockchain of sort, would have been a hit!

One thing I don’t get is why do banks need to buy treasuries and not just keep it all in cash?

That’s why he said paid for.

What really bothers me with Ivermectin is that it used to be one of the cheapest and most available drugs yet it instantly became taboo to even talk about for in the context of covid.

Why a known, safe, cheap and readily available drug couldn’t be used off label in the context of an unprecedented (at least in terms of social restrictions measures) global pandemic will always remain a mystery.

In Belgium Iodine tablets are freely and for free available in all pharmacies. All you need is show up with an ID (this is to prevent hoarding) They will give you a box with enough doses for 2 adults and 3 children for free.

Now if only this system existed for all WHO essential medicines... The covid pandemic would have played out differently...

Fun little game. Level 3 took me from 0 to 100 with no warning.

Providing banking services to people who are unbanked for political reasons is one of the main advantages of crypto imho. This is something you can get hit by in so called democratic countries as Canada demonstrated last year. https://www.businessinsider.com/trudeau-canada-freeze-bank-a...

The thing with a domain registration is that you know if you pay for ten years in advance, you WILL have it for ten years. With most SaaS, you have absolutely no guarantee this is going to be the case.

Anything more devious doesn't make the news. Had she had a partner start a startup and fill in all the propriate tax forms after recieving millions of Euros you'd at most have heard about "possible conflicts of interests", not blatant corruption like here.

That's a pretty common statistics all around the world. People connect to their the place they grew up in and people they grew up with.

How's that abusing public infrastructure?

1. Wikipedia is a private entity.

2. It is very well funded.

3. That extension probably uses less resources than someone loading an entire webpage with all associated media just to look up a url.

Same as for any other country. Dirty laundry of all sorts: tales of corruption, collusion, etc.

What makes it different is that Russia is expected to be like that. Not the US.

It wasn't just the German delegation but the entire press establishment as well. All because it was politically convenient at the time.

Wouldn’t favour the growth of alternative app stores? Upcoming European legislation is forcing eve Apple to allow third party stores on iPhones. I doubt Google would get away much longer with those practices.

The killer feature I saw in the last years was the HUD in that custom desktop environment Ubuntu had for a while before going back to gnome.

The ability to just type and search through all menu items saved me so much time!

I honestly miss all the 3D effects I had running on Gnome 2. It made my desktop fun to use. Modern replacements for the wobbly windows aren’t getting anywhere close to what I was used to.

>data harvesting to the government having access to said data - is true for western companies as well and that should be the problem

Very much this. As a European who doesn't intent to set a single foot in China, I'm much more comfortable at the thought of China having my data than my own government.

For me the killer feature of Unity is the HUD[0] allowing you to simply type to find menu items. Save so much time going through options it is incredible.

Now you're nitpicking. https://www.proximus.be/ might not support itsme but it does allow login with user name and password.

Are you looking at installed capacity or effective production?
