I like I2p but it doesn’t solve the problems that zeronet did.

Will have to look into gnunet though. Not sure what that does, or how.

Wasn’t that the idea behind zeronet? I think zeronet is dead(?) now, but it was a fun concept. https://github.com/HelloZeroNet/ZeroNet

Space lasers!

The EU is always changing. The EU of today isn’t the same as the one the UK left, or the EU that was formed by the Maastricht treaty.

Might not always change in the way some people wish, but the change is constant.

SepiaSearch is the best I’ve found for finding content on peertube.

Yeah, that’s the kind of natural gas I was talking about, but it seems that it comes down to how you define words.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renewable_natural_gas

Natural gas can be green, if it’s biomethane. Nuclear though…

I think it is, but feel free to educate me. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Russian_crude_oil_price_cap_sanctions

If they sell it for the same as it cost to extract and transport it then there’s nothing left over to fund their war.

It’ll never be perfect, but if we tank our economies just to make a point, what good is that? We’re able give a lot to Ukraine because we can keep the energy cost fairly low.

Not sure if gas is the same as crude, but if it is then the price is capped so that Russia doesn’t make any money off it. Then India can buy from Russia and sell it on for profit to the market, meaning that India profits instead of Russia, and the rest of us gets to enjoy fairly normal prices when it comes to oil and gas. Almost everyone is happy.

Which is why India is rightfully pissed at Trump for sabotaging this setup, probably because it was done under Biden, when they’ve been doing exactly what everyone wanted, and expected.

Edit: India is pissed because not only did Trump sabotage the setup, he’s also punishing India for doing something that the setup permitted and encouraged. Turkieye (or how you spell it) is doing the same as India IIRC.

Ok, so rewrite the statement using imperial instead. Let’s compare them.

Nobody said impossible, just that you can’t directly relate any of those quantities.

Can’t we just agree that metric is superior?

Can’t help but wonder if someone got Muslims and vampires confused.

It’s not like Muslims hiss and backs away if you hold up a pan of bacon in front of them.

“In metric, one milliliter of water occupies one cubic centimeter, weighs one gram, and requires one calorie of energy to heat up by one degree centigrade—which is 1 percent of the difference between its freezing point and its boiling point. An amount of hydrogen weighing the same amount has exactly one mole of atoms in it. Whereas in the American system, the answer to ‘How much energy does it take to boil a room-temperature gallon of water?’ is ‘Go fuck yourself,’ because you can’t directly relate any of those quantities.” ― Josh Bazell, Wild Thing

I’m all for it. But it’s hard, just try to get your friends over to Signal from any of the un-free alternatives is a pain, and that’s just for messages. It annoyed me immensely when they removed the SMS-functionality from it. Being able to use ONE app for both was the killer feature there. It went from hard to convince people to fscking impossible.

Something something protecting women and girls.

Any place where I don’t have to sell my soul to meta to see it?

I don’t have an account and don’t want to join either.

Are you in a gang or deal in narcotics? If not, then no.

Things need to change, but it’s not dangerous for the average citizen.

What’s this? Never heard of it. Sounds like a good story, care to share?

Doable for personal use yes, but not really in a professional setting. I wish there was, but there isn’t right now, and there won’t be until a critical mass is there, which is why I want the EU to put the pressure on organisations to change.

The whole world runs on O365, except you, and then you get an excel from a colleague that does a lot of semi complicated maths to help you with your real job, now will you trust that LibreOffice does a good enough job in converting those macros, especially since it could have real world consequences, or will you just pay for a licence? Or create a great presentation for your boss in OpenOffic, only for it to look like shit when he presents it to his boss. Not to mention all application that users Ms office components as backend.

There are tons of examples like this.

I’m an open source/free software guy, but in the business world it’s going to take legislation to get anything done I’m afraid.

For personal use, maybe, but right now there aren’t any replacements for things like AWS, Azure, GC. Imagine being the architect telling a company to go with eurocloud inc because it fits the current specs only to have to tell them a year later that they either can’t grow their business because the chosen solution doesn’t do what AWS does, or that they have to spend money on migrating to one of the big three?

I want a law that prevents EU PII data from leaving the EU without explicit consent from all the countries of affected citizens, applied to public contracts starting in 2030, with private companies starting in 2035. That would exclude the big three until they make fundamental changes, if at all possible given US law, and give European cloud providers the money to build their business.
