  • Do You Brush Your Teeth The European Way?

    Jump

  • I use bioniq, which is made by the Dr. Wolff company in Germany. It has hydroxyapatite instead of fluoride.

  • Italy demands Google poison DNS under strict Piracy Shield law

    Jump

  • Now seems a good time to point out there is an alternative DNS root that isn't censored https://opennic.org/

  • Donald Trump suggests US could join British Commonwealth

    Jump

  • It sounds ridiculous but then I wonder if trump could resist the offer of a knighthood.

  • Throw in a few crates of tea to replace the ones lost in that unfortunate boating accident and we'll consider it.

  • Chief of Dutch Central Bank: US influence on payment systems is concerning, working on alternatives for Visa and Mastercard.

    Jump

  • The Chinese jokingly call Trump "Comrade Jianguo", because of how his trade war has made China become more independent and stopped relying as much on American companies.

    In the same way Trump's latest tantrum seems to be good for the Europe.

  • Germany urges Britain to rejoin EU customs union

    Jump

  • Would the EU even accept a customs union without an additional agreement for free movement of people? The latter would be incredibly unpopular here.

  • Cash is king

  • Why is it so hard to hate Mr. Burns from The Simpsons?

    Jump

  • He's somehow less of a psychopath than any real life bourgeoisie. He's given Homer his job back like 12 times, and apparently pays him enough to own a house and support a housewife and three kids.

  • FOSS infrastructure is under attack by AI companies

    Jump

  • If an AI is detecting bugs, the least it could do is file a pull request, these things are supposed to be master coders right? 🙃

  • Wallets made in Europe?

    Jump

  • There are a lot of independent leatherworkers that make them.

  • Benefit (owned by LVMH) may not be from the US but they're complying in advance.

    Jump

  • Unsurprising, corporations never cared about LGBT people, they just used us for marketing. They would switch the pride flags for swastikas if they thought it would be even slightly more profitable.

  • Could "pay or it's low priority" be a way to fund opensource projects?

    Jump

  • It's sometimes called a feature bounty.

    The only issue is it incentivises focusing on new features, leaving old stuff unmaintained. If you're asking for money to fix bugs, that incentivises writing code with bugs, as if you write perfect code first time nobody will pay you to fix it.

  • French MEP says US should give back Statue of Liberty

    Jump

  • They'd probably melt it down instead, just to avoid giving it back.

    If you're looking into switching to Linux, you should avoid Fedora.

    Jump

  • It does bother me that the linux foundation is based in America. The recent geopolitical meddling against Russian contributors shows why it's an issue. The RISC-V foundation moved to Switzerland specifically to avoid that.

    Is there any European alternatives to GNU/Linux though?

  • Community federation glitch? [Edit: Solved]

    Jump

  • The update won't be pulled if nobody on your instance follows the "dead" community. Try subscribing to it and see what happens.

  • Self-Driving Tesla Crashes into Wall Painted to Look Like a Road… Just Months Before Planned Robotaxi Launch

    Jump

  • I'll add that every other self driving car company has a pretty good safety record, specifically because they do use LIDAR and RADAR so they can see better than humans.

  • Self-Driving Tesla Crashes into Wall Painted to Look Like a Road… Just Months Before Planned Robotaxi Launch

    Jump

  • Or a badly painted sign that says "Free charging"

  • Captain of container ship involved in North Sea collision arrested in the UK, identified as Russian citizen

    Jump

  • the container ship appeared “out of the blue.”

    How does that happen? Was nobody watching the naval radar? If their AIS was on it should have been seen from miles away.

    If you're carrying military fuel it's obvious you're a target for sabotage.

  • The EU should increase the tariff on bourbon to 800%, would be funny.
