Google pretends to embrace open source

Yes and they’ve been very good at pretending it. Maybe early on they actually did embrace open source, but now they have become worse than Apple. Because they are closing up everything they can like the closed garden of Apple, but Google doesn’t have the benefits of Apple at least attempting to tend a somewhat clean garden.

Wow a AAA game that is praised by users for being actually good.

Brexit means Brexit.
-Theresa May

How is that not clear enough for you? 🤣🤣🤣

Jokes aside, good to see UK is being more constructive and cooperation between EU and UK increasing.

Thanks, I was also just informed that he favors wealth tax and lower taxes for the poor. That sounds more left/center than far right.

Wow that sounds amazing, from what I’ve heard he was pretty far right. Best hopes for Hungary that this really pans out as a major improvement over Orban.

Congratulations to Hungary and also to Ukraine.

The REALLY good thing is that Magyar get super majority, so he can undo the undemocratic things Orban did in his attempt to stay in power.

Hopefully democratic principles will be restored in Hungary now. And Hungary can participate constructively in EU again, and receive the full benefits of being an EU member.

Actually No it is not the same link, they are 2 different stories in the same live thread.

Yes this will do a lot to restore normal relations between Hungary and EU, which will benefit both a lot.

Best news in a long time. 👍 😎
Congratulations to Hungary, hopefully this will restore democracy in Hungary, although Peter Magyar is also extreme far right, he at least support democracy and EU and that Ukraine can become a member of EU.

Netanyahu is a wanted war criminal!!
I guess being against war crimes makes you an anti Semite by today’s Israeli standards.
They throw that term around left and right so today it has no meaning when Israelis call people that.

He absolutely is, and I doubt the Russians are aware how much harm he did even before the war.

Ditto.

A lot of analysts talk about a social contract between the corrupt Putin leadership and common people. That as long as the corrupt regime provides prosperity, the people is OK with not meddling in politics.

The same analysts say that Putin has broken that contract with this war, and Russia has had successful revolutions at least 2 times before, turning over the Tzar and later turning over the communist regime. So the people are not unfamiliar with revolutions.

Wow thanks, I didn’t remember that.
I just calculated the average to 870, so it’s definitely a lot above average.
My calculation is 4 years and 1½ month = 1505 days with 1310110 casualties = 870 casualties per day. Not exact but should be close enough with an error margin of 2 or 3 at most.

1440p 🤔
I don’t recall the number has ever been as high as this. It’s insane the Russians don’t get rid of Putin, and stop this madness.

Why do you think de Gaulle had the opinion?

I think because after WW2 he was allergic to any kind dependency on anyone. If I remember correctly De Gaulle also pulled France out of NATO, and France developed their own nukes under him and started their own space program.
De Gaulle was hell bent on making France independent and a dominant power in Europe.
Still he favored cooperation, and was part in forming the EEC, and France was also a NATO ally.
France received about 20% of the total Marshall aid provided by USA, did that make France a vassal to USA? No of course it didn’t. I just think de Gaulle was hurt that France failed completely against the German invasion, much like Putin is hurt about the Soviet Union failed. De Gaulle wanted France to rise to its former level of prestige and international respect. And maybe he thought that Germany working closely with UK and USA, would mean that France would take a back seat?

When Germany started WW2, France was seen as nearly impossible for Germany to take, France was the shield that should prevent Germany from controlling Europe. That shield failed miserably.
France used to be considered a global power, after WW2 France was diminished to just a significant European power.

I think you may be right that the bonds are not an original part of the Bazooka, they were an addition.
I suspect the bonds owned by EU countries are placed as part of a normal economic spread of funds. I am not aware they should have been bought for the purpose of pressuring USA.
I have zero worries that the EU central bank is managed responsibly, it’s being monitored by all Euro countries which is about 20 countries, so I doubt they would get away with anything that doesn’t serve the Euro countries.

France owed their freedom from the Nazis to USA and allies as much as the rest of Europe did. It is not a bad thing to have friends.
And yes Western Europe and USA have been very good friends for decades, that does nor mean European countries were vassals of USA.
But USA was by far the bigger economy, so they had and still have a lot of power, just like Germany was by far the biggest economy in the EEC, and had a lot of political power there because of it.
But the cooperation between the countries meant that all countries had a say, instead of things just being dictated by the strongest.
When USA threatened to invade Greenland it became very obvious that the European countries are from being vassals of USA, with several countries delivering military support to Denmark with actual troops to defend Greenland, and many more declaring their support, and EU declaring that EU would use the “bazooka” against USA if they invaded Greenland.
The Bazooka being by far the strongest measures ever used would be used against USA, for instance selling US bonds, which would absolutely upset the entire American economy.

This “Bazooka” is an anti coercion system EU developed to protect against China, but instead it turned out we needed it against USA. So EU was absolutely prepared against USA, that is the opposite of being a vassal state.

You keep saying that, with no basis, and it’s not true. So no it is not irresponsible.
your ignorant jumping to conclusions based on prejudice doesn’t make you right, and doesn’t mean you have a point.

Funny you never answered what country you are from. I cannot imagine many countries where it’s possible to be this ignorant.
An airbag would be detrimental to safety, so of course they don’t have it, and your question is obviously based on ignorance.
The turning radius is absolutely fine for these bicycles to navigate traffic without issue. way more maneuverable than both cars and motorcycles, no problems whatsoever, your perception of a problem is imaginary, and as I described similar long bicycles have existed at least since 1929. But you somehow think you’re some traffic and bicycle guru that just detected problems nobody was aware of before you noticed them?
You are both arrogant and stupid, using a bike to get your children to kindergarten is just as safe as a car, and not having any emissions is clearly safer, they make our cities safer and the environment of the cities safer.
One more stupid comment and I block you.

Exactly, you don’t know shit about what you are talking about.
