  • Euro zone consumers happy to ditch US products if hit by tariffs, study finds

    Jump

  • Yeah. I generally hope that the situation will move the consumer choices beyond: "I chose product A over product B because it was 0.1€ cheaper, and I do not care about all the rest." or "I chose product A because everybody talks about it, I haven't heard about product B, who cares about them?". Like everybody talks about McDonalds, everybody knows it tastes awful, has awful nutritional value, and awful practices along the supply chain. And yes, it is c h e a p.

  • I guess it would take a lot of time to accommodate Mars for trees. More than for algae ;)

  • Ebooks and audiobooks?

    Jump

  • An alternative to Kindle would be PocketBook, originally Ukrainian, with its current headquarters in Switzerland, and manufactured in Taiwan. I've used their ebook readers for years now, great stuff.

    Apart from Storytel, I also know Bookbeat, but haven't tried the latter. Storytel was good though, reliable, decent selection, nothing special beyond that.

  • 显然，DeepL 也有简体中文。它为我自动选择了简体中文。这样看起来更好吗？

  • EU views break from US as ‘unrealistic’ amid global tech race

  • We should make an email/mail template if we want many people to contact their MEPs.

  • Magnets

  • I upvote because the flowers look cool, no idea what Faygo is though

  • So true

  • I don't get it, why you have a line of crisps next to the sandwich? And why would you have cold food with cola?

  • The pipeline

  • WTF are boneless wings?

  • Looking for a nature instance

    Jump

  • You can check https://slrpnk.net/ and the communities hosted there.

    In general, it has a broader environmentalist and anarchist vibe. It has many communities focused on outdoors, nature, gardening, DIY, etc.

  • I mean, yes, inaccuracy is another issue here. But I assume "the most numerous" means better than average, or at lest not the worst in its category (unless you actually standardize for the time since divergence, then there are probably some niche microbial taxa, some rare extremophiles, that are actually less numerous; still, surely worse than average).

  • EU fines Apple, Meta millions for breaching tech competition rules

    Jump

  • The heads are outside the EU's jurisdiction. But I would like to see the EU showing it has the power to limit a company's activities on the common market if they do not follow the rules (idk how exactly, I guess hard bans would be very, very difficult to implement in this case).

  • Can I blog there without putting up a paywall? (I could still accept donations if they really need that, not that I would expect many ¯(ツ)_/¯)

  • Tony's Chocolonely

    Jump

  • Yeah, a d i c t i o n warning. The bar you buy is likely disappear sooner than you would have thought ;)

  • Bro, animals among the most numerous creatures? Bacteria, Archaea, and viruses are surely more numerous. I bet the same applies to fungi and plants. Oh, and protists, since they are unicellular and have twice the total biomass of animals.

    In terms of biomass, animals are barely significant. And they are relatively big. So they surely are less numerous than other groups.

  • European AI Atlas: Discover European AI services for consumers and developers

    Jump

  • I'll give that a try, thanks!

    My case was convenience (since I have copilot, since everybody around me uses it, since it is integrated not only in VS but also in RStudio etc.) and lack of knowledge about the alternatives. Or laziness, in other words.

  • Poolside looks very cool. But it seems that atm it is available only upon request and only for companies.

    For now, I use GitHub Copilot. They give it for free to students, but it would be great to have an alternative once I graduate or once they stop giving it out for free.

  • To the photos section, you can add Polish PhotoAiD (https://photoaid.com/). One of the cool features is that for some countries, you can get a photo formatted for a document application (e.g., for a passport) out of a selfie.
