  • Hmmm while I get your point, I was only saying that I have seen cases where the comments of proposals were seen by the commission, discussed further and then actioned upon. The most recent example that comes to my mind was the delay of the cybersecurity requirements within the radio equipment directive.

    I did not say that public action is adequately taken into account and I am not privvy to what the direct intentions or submissions (on a legislative level) are for Fridays for Future etc.

    I would however give credit where due to the EU for trying to actually force companies selling here to act in an eco friendly manner (e.g USB-C amendments, charger requirements, eco design regulation, carbon based price schemes). More is needed, but it's better than many other democracies

  • I get the joke, but we use this forum at work frequently, it has some sway during the consultation phase of discussion.

  • The EU runs on 70% on-understandable process and regulation, everyone knows that! Good to see renewables pick up the rest.

  • It turns into quite dark humour when the article lists all the controversial acts she has committed, and then ends with the sentence:

    In July 2024, she will become a member of the European Parliament

  • You are correct, re-loading the aurora store after shifting my vpn to the target country (and anonymous login) seems to change the aurora storefront too :)

  • Some apps are not available in my Google store due to geoblocking. Can aurora circumvent this? Or is it a front end of the "local" google play store?

  • I'd argue you can almost always do more to change the environment you are familiar with, rather than moving to a new one.

    You may quickly find people, politics and politicians are equally as closed minded, independent of which country you are in.

  • I'm sure we'll find something else to purchase bombs for :)

  • No an overly helpful suggestion maybe, but I used to look for servers hosting the cars service manual whenever I had issues. But that was in the early 2010s, so not sure where to look for them now.

  • I like the first half of your comment, but the second is really hard to swallow. I guess you meant "severe" or "debilitatingly" painful/disabled life, and I don't think you meant malice in what you're saying - but I know some people living with disabilities that would see your comment as calling them worthless.

  • I feel this is like the least controversial thing to happen in Austrian politics in the last 10 years... There is a long list of shit before this one that the ÖVP should be sued for...

  • Removed

  • Not sure I'm ready for suicide memes.

  • India is a world leader when countries are ranked by population. It's time will come, as the middle class grows and imports from other nations increase, but that is not happening in the next 5 years in my opinion.

    India's inability to remove the caste system leads IMHO to an equivalent of middle eastern country's inability to allow women a meaningful place in their society, and is a massive hindrance to reaching its potential socially and economically.

    On the positive side, absolutely has the best cuisine in the world

  • The full, current list is: Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia, and the United Arab Emirates

    Adding Turkey and Hungary would lead to: SHITBRICEEU, which I find amusing :)

  • I don't normally blindly down such comments, but without credible explanation and evidence of what you mean, I made an exception here.

  • Seconded. One of the first foss projects I donated to :)

  • I understand this to mean: "there are no suppliers for some parts outside of China" rather than "my margins are affected, waaawaa"

    Like try and buy clay that hasn't been processed at some point through China, or any piece of machinery that doesn't have a component inside which originates in China. Hell, even try go 24 hours without using a Chinese product.

    This is why many countries are looking at re-implimenting protectionism, because we have reached a situation of non-control, regardless of domestic wants.

    I don't think I agree with their (Siemens Energy's) stance, without a Long term solution to change the issue, but I understand it's place in the grand scheme.
