If WebDav is your everyday bread, and you Linux your house, then you won’t find anything special. But for most users, it is great. The app works seamlessly for me, but surely, there are others that would work similarly. But the real strength is…

…in their well curated blog. I found step-by-step instructions on almost everything I wanted to do with Koofr. That helped a million.

Good point. For reference, from the OP article:

Mark Rutte, in response to Donald Trump’s demands for a 5% target – suggests member states agree to raise defence spending to 3.5% of their GDP and commit a further 1.5% to wider security spending.

I can totally see Trump agreeing to get his 5% if part of it will be spent on climate adaptation and mitigation, or infrastructure in the “hostile and abusive” EU.

BTW: 3.5% is still more than any NATO country spends on R&D, maybe except of the US.

Good point. But I also think we should look sector-to-sector at growth. Or, better, develop better metrics. There is a lot of BS in GDP (like, introducing a vaccine might easily have a “negative” impact on GDP, since it is more cost effective than curing the disease once it happens, and thus causes less expenditure). But there are activities we would like to grow (like, renewable energy manufacturing or a big chunk of the medical field).

And FYI, here are the updated statistics on trade with China, seems to be stagnating (maybe outsourcing to new “rising markets”)?

https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php?title=China-EU_-_international_trade_in_goods_statistics

I understand that there are real threats in Europe. But… 5 fckn percent as a (!) minimum? None NATO country spends more than 3.5% on research and development (the only countries that do are South Korea and Israel). And that is everything from new medicines to new bombs to 5G to anthropology to climate science research. And now each and every country is supposed to spend more on tanks and guns and drones only? Play it smart, not hard, please…

Pls let’s discuss this topic after they make their minds ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I get your point for Samsung, but % do not add up.

Thanks! It should be “Some Spanish people I know…” Sorry if I overexaggerated. It’s just that over my life in student dorms, multiple unrelated Spanish people would be in the common kitchen when I was going to sleep (maybe still chatting after dinner), and they would be there when I woke up. This was blowing my mind.

I think when you use the word “siesta” in English (and many other languages), it becomes more specific than “nap”. Like, if I take a nap at 8PM to go out and party later, I would not call it a nap. Similarly, when I was a kid I was napping while parents drove me to school - that I wouldn’t call siesta either.

Maybe first put a carbon tax on fuels used in aviation? LOL

Petrol is reasonable, depending on how it is rolled out. The heating should be fixed by the state and the EU, not taxed. Like heating networks and heat pumps.

The last point does not hold. Spanish people I know eat dinner at 11 PM and breakfast at 7 AM. And they live outside of Spain, the timezone issue does not apply here. Idk when they sleep (Siesta? Siesta in Sweden/Germany?) Please explain.

The narrative that the EU targets China in a way somehow analogous to Trump is also weird. It just follows a clearly defined law. There was an actual investigation on who and how makes competition unequal to EU company, not claims out of nowhere as in the US.

Let’s talk about others. I invite the Dutch people to tell us who they would like to see rise in this election.

PVV has been dropping in polls for more than a year now. Let’s hope this is the last time they are in a ruling coalition.

I see many people here interested in what it is actually used for

Motorn driver en luftseparationsenhet (ASU) som kondenserar atmosfärisk luft så att syre och kväve separeras till rena gaser som kan användas i ståltillverkningsprocessen.

Which DeepL loosely translates to

The engine drives an air separation unit (ASU) that condenses atmospheric air to separate oxygen and nitrogen into clean gases that can be used in the steelmaking process.

The motor is going to a steelwork in India.

Searching the web, I found this thing for football updates:

I don’t get it. What should the brexiters railing about Poles make others realise? That if you are rich, you destroy vocational schools to get richer, get people from abroad to do basic service and construction jobs that almost nobody in your country is educated to perform, and then make them the scapegoat once your own policies fail the people?

And in a generally quite good journal…

Well, science hippies and their humour ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I mean, not that worse things haven’t passed the peer review…

Links or it didn’t go through the peer review

Is it? What do you mean by that?

Kommun workers use Windows or iOS. University workers use mainly Windows or iOS, though computer labs usually have Linux PCs. Still, the unis usually have their email service managed via Outlook or Gmail services. We have our own data storage, though, e.g., KTH still buys OneDrive. Similarly, we have our own computing clusters, and here, luckily, I have never heard of any Swedish researcher using AWS or anything like that.
