"Europe has open borders and this hasn't facilitated any increase in xenophobia that I'm aware of, despite many countries having many immigrants."

My guess you are naive but intra European racism was always a thing (easy example was Hitler). The EU tries to combat it and reduced definitely thanks to Erasmus, better weath of East Europe, well open borders but oh boy it still exists.

Thanks!

I only would consider people worthy to discuss if they are agree on this. Most of the time people dont.

Which country are you from?

"More about extending the war instead of ending it." Clearly this is Russia's fault. Russian troops could just leave Ukraine's international recognised area. Easy peasy.

I didnt know that communist are consired right wing now.

vw offers a electro pickup for 36k excluding tax (43k EUR with tax, ). https://www.volkswagen-nutzfahrzeuge.de/de/modelle/transport...

Its less than 10x

I am sick of companies vendor locking me into their software and PATRONISE me its the better choice for me.

If someone says yeah yeah buy an android. You know what: Google is locking down Androids as well. This is the track path of Google as now and Apple is just the role model.

I can complain about the EU's regulation but currently they are the only force trying me using my own software on my own hardware. I hope Open Source will be funded a lot better so I can say fuck you to Google and Apple and Meta and X.

My friends / co worker are computer and non computer people, hobbys, cultural background. Maybe your friend group is highly selected. Which country are you from?

The EU expansion politics was a success. E.g. Poland was a great industry place for cheap labour, now it becomes a richer economy, they consume more expensive from Germany and France.

? Usually the clauses arent valid from the contracts and you can sue Microsoft on court. What did you expect?

" True but it also reflects that the EU has indeed destroyed most goodwill towards it in the last decade regarding most things digital. " And these criticism destroys any goodwill from me. These are non topics my among political diverse friends. Most people criticise the EU internet regulations are American cry babys. Their arguments are shallow, their knowledge about EU is low.

"Degrowth is an academic and social movement[1] aimed at the planned and democratic reduction of production and consumption as a solution to social-ecological crises.[2] "

Giving the first sentence this would lead to a smaller GDP. We see the results of a stagnating GDP in Germany and UK and democratically people don't like it.

in this context we talk about Russia

Degrowth was only popular in Germany, UK and Spain. https://cepr.org/voxeu/columns/no-solid-scientific-basis-deg...

Germany and UK follow a the no growth and it is very unpopular. Spain's economy gives a shit and grows.

"aybe annoying for some, but a need for others."

Who needs it? Russia? I guess Russia does not need war but it started it anyway.

cool projects. bear in mind some languages like Spanish are spoken across different countries. German for example is spoken in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Using the Germany flag is misleading.

Hmm if a company is so important, it needs to regulate on case basis and needs to open not just on their criteria. Thats the price a network has to pay.

are you sure? https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ce8p61v7l68o

Honestly Meta is just plain stupid. These formats are an informal way to avoid strong regulation but solve problems and used in many settings of govermental regulation as a first try. Snubbing them will increase the chance of hard regulation.

I guess Zucki, Meta and SV folks (proofed on HN itself) just drunk too much "EU is declining because of regulation" and it will end like Lightning and Apple.

My mother once told me as she worked as a secretary in Communist Poland, she had access to MS DOS. I cant take her word as granted as she is not so technically literat but sometimes you see the spread of computers into the second world.

so why do you use the term globalist? Most talent is globalist anyway.

Jumping in and most people in Germany wouldnt see UK as an American trojan hourse. I dont think anti American countries like France and Danemark have a problem with UK being in the EU per se.

I can see most people want that UK wouldnt just get special treatment any more.

Yes that was 2018. Things vastly deteriorated in the US.

"they can't anchor EU ip and talent because our politicians are too intertwined with globalist ideology and capital." You want to force staying in the EU?

China is a way more corrupt country but this might be a benefit of less rules.

Why should the American government, quite critical about the Ukrainian government, use Finish satellites for this?

Another advantage of a dead language. You can just change word meanings if the administration needs it.

nah I disagree. Because a dead language helps preserving the living languages of the nations.

English is a living language so it's a bad choice (at least from my criteria ;) )

maybe you can help by writing a threat scenario. And I can help if it really occurs.
