I assure you a great many people take Linux seriously.

Why is Spain such an attractive place for data centers? Seems costly due to high temperatures. But maybe those costs can be offset by the viability of solar power?

No shit they are. Even after all this blows over, as it inevitably will, they’re still gonna be huge… but what might be a small loss percentage-wise is still quite big when you’re as big as Microsoft.

Here in the nordics they seem to have almost every company and almost every municipality as their customer, if there’s a rule coming in saying public data must be in Europe or something like that — that’s a lot of dollars lost. Same if just a percentage or two of companies decide they’re not fans of American tech anymore.

No no, the Russia collaborators are the actual politicians. This is just an aide.

‘artists’ (usually rich)

I know think you’re trolling, but…

I prefer the old one, but it’s really not much of a difference. New one looks a bit cheaper, like something you’d see on piracy sites or something.

Also just realised Jellyfin basically has the old YouTube design. Don’t know if YT was first with it, but if so it was pretty influential, think it’s quite common in many players.

I’m not 100% sure about the economics of tariffs, but my interpretation is that the US are shooting themselves in the foot more than us. And if we can project an image of a stable level-headed trading partner and create good trade relations with India, China and countries in Africa and South America that might be more valuable in the long run than our US trade relations.

Basically, if US wants to hamper their own economy, let them. Meanwhile we’ll be Open For Business™ and picking up all the good stuff they left behind.

While I do think the EU is lacking the balls to do this, there’s also some strategy to consider here. It certainly would be lovely if the EU would be more defensive, but also more damaging to the EU economy (at least in the short run, probably for a long time).

China is being painted as enemy number one, and there’s long-standing beef between the countries. Trump lost or is losing the trade war, and needs to make himself not look weak. Meanwhile China wants to project strength internally. Whatever is happening between closed doors, China has everything to gain from humiliating the US at this point. Trumps incompetence is already evident, they just need to fuel the flames.

With the EU, the situation is wildly different. EU doesn’t really want to project power, they want to project exactly as much power as is necessary not to seem weak but no more. It wants to show that it’s a level-headed free trade partner ready to take the lead in the free world, the fairest and most stable market in the world.

…that’s my take on it anyway. USE! USE! USE! USE! 🇪🇺

So based. Any chance that they’ll win?

What does unofficial recognition mean? Can a country do anything unofficially?

Of course not, to even entertain this idea is ridiculous.

An EU-China summit will be held in July, both sides announced.

Don’t know why, but this feels hype.

TFW Chinese EV makers aren’t even competing with western ones anymore, only among themselves.

I guess MAGA people will see this as a win? Since imports are down 2x much as imports. If the value of the goods in these containers are roughly equal, that should mean smaller trade deficits?

What? Having Chrome become Chromium and Android being degooglified would be pretty huge?

Of course. I mean why doesn’t Gizmondo wait for the review to finish?

Their work is detailed in a paper, posted April 1 on the preprint server arXiv, that has not yet been peer reviewed.

Rebuilt ancient device and tested it feels like the kind of thing that should really be peer reviewed and not just accepted at face value, doesn’t it?
