Using US search engines underneath is what almost all search engines do, including Ecosia and Qwant. Until next year at least, when they will hopefully finish their own search index.

Otherwise, valid question

Embarrassing if true. And one more example of why we need a stronger unity, more cohesion, in the EU. Because otherwise big countries can just target one of us specifically to blackmail us.

Not to defend them, but almost every single rich person lobbies for less property and inheritance taxes

Your mistake is that you assume there’s a rational reason for the level of tariffs in the first place - they use a nonsense formula based on trade imbalance

True, but 40% is definitely not small either

Recently switched from FolderSync to Syncthing - using Syncthing-Fork on my android smartphone.

Was easier to set up than expected. If you have lots of devices, read up on the introducer feature, it makes the connecting all devices to each other more convenient.

I recommend activating the time schedule feature for Android Smartphones to save battery, mine is set to run for 5 minutes every hour.

Sadly owned to a large part by an american investment company

This really could use some EU regulation. But probably not a very simple issue (especially the cameras I believe)

I think it’s not a distribution really, more of a set of layers on top of a distribution. Like a blueprint for how to setup a distribution for government use in a standardised way. Or sth like that, I didn’t really understand it completely.

Also making our governments dependent on a US organisation seems like a very bad idea, even if it is Ubuntu.

It’s a PayPal alternative, but developed in tandem with most European banks. That way, it will at some point also be used as backend for your normal debit and credit card payments, instead of VISA / MasterCard. If I remember correctly.

Tricount is Dutch

Apparently the founders have 44% of voting rights. So not even the majority anymore…

Tbh I don’t think it’s possible to have a promising AI startup in Europe without American investors yeeting their money at it. We probably need to limit this legally.

Honestly I keep wondering how they manage to achieve as much as they do with the little funding they get. It’s incredibly impressive.

Nah, they’re serious about it. Note that it’s just one of the 16 German federal states. The other 15 sadly don’t have the necessary courage or integrity to make the switch.

The problem is that they can’t or won’t tell the users which data from what parts of the program they sell to whom for what purpose. Instead, they just make you give up all the rights to all your data in a blanket statement. (I think they did adjust the TOS a little bit, but it’s still far from good)

Thank you. I utterly despise the cowardice of the media to call out fascists for what they are. Definitely one of the big reasons we got to where we are now.

Journalism died decades ago, and we are seeing the result today
