Imagine your town/city starts completely catering to people from richer countries coming there to get completely wasted and intentionally act crazy… that’s what happened to a huge portion of Spain.

That mentality is largely the result of overtourism though.
Spain is a country of under 50 million people which has over 70 million foreign tourists visit every year.
The US is 330 million people but only has 50ish million foreign tourists.
So imagine that the US has roughly 8x as many tourists per year (to match per capita) and imagine that a huge portion of these tourists were mostly coming from much richer countries and had the mentality of ‘let’s let loose in a cheap party spot’.
Just about everyone is in favor of some tourism, it’s just currently completely out of control in much of southern Europe. The numbers just completely dwarf just about anywhere else.
I’m sorry, but this is completely backwards with regards to the situation in Spain or many other poorer european countries. I’m much more familiar with the situation in Croatia, but this applies to most of southern Europe (including Spain).
Yes, the countries take in a sizable portion of their gdp from tourism, however this is generally at the expense of the average citizen. Tourism is notoriously bad at distributing any wealth it provides, while the average person living in these places gets all of the negative side effects. Tourists are generally coming from richer countries (USA, Germany, UK etc) and able to/used to paying much higher prices. So the local economy shifts to focusing exclusively on tourists (it’s where the money is) and locals get all of the negative externalities (inflated rents, inflated prices, crowding, poorly behaved tourists) with very little benefit.
Local and national governments focus exclusively on further investments in tourism (since it’s such an ‘important’ part of the economy!) at the expense of other investments (education, non-tourist infrastructure) which would be more beneficial to the overall population.
Not to mention, compared to just about anywhere else in the world, the number of tourists in Europe is absolutely overwhelming compared to locals. Croatia is a country of under 4 million people, but gets over 20 million visitors a year! The average salary is somewhere around $1000 A MONTH, so it’s no surprise that so much of the country is instead focused on the needs of tourists who can easily spend $1000 a week…
This isn’t the same situation as a tourism hotspot in the US, for instance (where I’m originally from). Yes, wages vary geographically in the US, but not nearly to the same extent. The areas often grew around tourism rather than being a normal functional city where families have been living for centuries before very recently turning into what is essentially a theme park which is largely unaccessible to natives.
In Vermont (US Bundesstaat) sind die verboten und es ist mega schön dort.
Man merkt sofort den Unterschied wenn man über die Grenze fährt…
You are right on those points, but it’s always easier to police/regulate local corporations than foreign ones since you have more tools at your disposal.
With foreign networks, you can only really levy fines and ultimately threaten to ban them from the country.
I mean, I know this won’t be a popular opinion, but it’s a huge security risk to allow any non-european social network.
Yeah controller would be really rough.
You just need to get invited by someone you are friends with.
It used to be you had to be friends for at least a week, but I think that isn’t the case anymore.
It’s really good if you are into moba-type gameplay.
Some people will compare it to something like overwatch, but it’s really closer to Dota 2 with shooter combat. It’s a cool mix of map-control/strategic elements of Dota with more twitchy aspects of arena-ish shooters.
I’ve really enjoyed it, but then again my two most played games of all time are dota and tf2.
In that case every country would add up to 100%, since the top category is “10 books or more”.
It can vary depending on the context, but essentially it just means that you can only read/write at a fairly basic level.
For instance, imagine someone who reads at a 4th grade reading level. They can get through basic aspects of life, but get totally lost/overwhelmed if they are presented with anything more complex. For instance, they wouldn’t be able to comprehend most official letters. (Thus is especially an issue in Germany since Amtsdeutsch seemingly tries to be intentionally complex…)
They are effectively locked out of most modern jobs, because they can’t parse emails effectively or formulate a fitting reply.
It’s also something that people are generally very self-conscious about and get pretty good at hiding.
Whether they are constitutional seems to be a fairly open source of debate currently.
But please based on wealth rather than income.
Rich people don’t become rich from income.
I use freesync on my monitor between 48 and 144 hz.
The range depends on the specific monitor.
It’s been years since I had to deal with MATLAB licenses, since basically everything in scientific computing/data science uses Python these days!
My school offered a BA in physics. I never knew anyone who took it (I did the BS) but they claimed it was aimed at theater set- designers.
The target use case for large SD cards is high-resolution video recording.
Recording at 4k+ eats up space faaaaast. So you need both large-capacity as well as fast storage.
Yeah it’s just that the transport ministry is arguably the single biggest opportunity to enact green changes.
We don’t know how the negotiations went (maybe the FDP would have refused to go into government if the greens got the transport ministry) but it feels like a huge missed opportunity.
Yeah that’s basically what I did too.
I just installed dash to dock and made the icons quite large, then rebound a button on my air-mouse to the super key (to bring up the dash). I also installed Just Perfection and used it to hide the top bar unless the dash is open.
90% of the time, I’m just using Firefox, so I don’t need anything too fancy.
Not a raspi, but I had similar issues on my opensuse HTPC which turned it to be related to issues with (or missing) media codecs in Firefox.
After (re)installing all of them, it worked like a charm.
