I'm afraid I have to ask here for a citation for your very confident but to my knowledge wrong statement that Russia (I suppose you mean the USSR) financed the green movement in Germany. Russia is equally a builder and supplier for nuc

Much more, Amazon also loves to remove all reviews that mention that the product is counterfeit. Several times I did receive clear counterfeit goods via Amazon, but there is no way to warn others as these reviews are blocked.

There were many laws on surveillance proposed in the EU context as there are many parties that make proposals. But there's no actual such law in place. And the EU is bound by GDPR and EDPR and actually does a huge circus to respect the

The government doesn't make tanks, it just shells out gigantic amounts to companies to make them. That said, there are plenty of successful government actions across the world, where Europe or Japan probably have a good advantage with

The official migration guide for Migadu invites you to use thunderbird and basically move all emails and folders from one account to another. No blame to them, but it's stunning that that's the best solution we have for migrating

No one is starving in the netherlands. There's a difference between offering a canteen but charging for it with some able and some not able to pay, and a general expectation that all bring food from home. Many Dutch, German, etc compan

Great to see this feature, and it looks smooth and easy to use. I'm left wondering whether it will sync across devices and notably also to FF on Android?

Thanks John! Looks like a smooth product and I've signed up for the waiting list. Quick points of feedback already: * I couldn't find on the site for which OS I can use it. Only here the clarification of electron made it obvious -

Very nice initiative, the language space is overcrowded with commercial offers that have an incentive to keep you locked in. Apart from LanguageTransfer there seem to be few other good offers. That said, looking at the current offer it seem

Hmm, I appreciate that there is a cost to generation, but a monthly limit of 100 questions seems quite low for a 20$ plan for hobbyists. How am I going to iterate, make changes etc when I have to keep glancing at the limits to make sure I w

I would argue their main valuation comes from lock-in. They managed to basically grab the entire public sector and big corp OS and office software space, and continuously expand from this into communication, process management, etc. No or g

May I ask what you mean by this? They pay 20-500% more for the same #/% of ownership as other investors buying at the same time? Or do you mean they charge their customers such a high premium? Is there any data on this available?

While I agree in principle, we can't throw the rule of law overboard just because others don't respect it. It was a commercial vessel with Maltese/Bulgarian links and russian crew if I'm not mistaken. While I'd hope
