It is available, but unlike in the US it is not something you would find in almost every household. And I would bet you it would be easier to find an individual who hasn’t tried peanut butter even once than finding someone who has.

I don’t think so. Of course it’s hard to predict what Europe will look like in 100 years, but I’d like to image the EU more as a service provider for its member states. Maybe the military will be combined and the economy is already very much linked together which will increase. But I don’t think the member states will cease to exist as sovereign nations. Europe is far more diverse not only in language but also in culture. That is in my opinion a strong feature of the union as it is a union in diversity.

But we are planning on sending that meteor to Florida…making a brand new Gulf of America…

Corn seed oil is my go to cooking oil, but I also use olive oil (mostly for Mediterranean dishes), rapeseed oil and clarified butter.

So you haven’t read the title either? This is about late dining - so showing the latest available option seems to be a good indicator for me.

Discourse exists and is free to self-host and open source. Compared to classic forum software (like most *bb variants) it is a pleasure to use and feels not like a remnant of a lost age.

The (only?) downside is the similar name to Discord, but that’s not them to blame, because they had their name first.

I guess that depends a lot on each country’s political structure and conventions. In Germany the Bundeskanzler (the chancellor is the equivalent of a prime minister) has the final say. This principle is called Richtlinienkompetenz (directive competence). He or she can basically order members of his cabinet what to do. It has been used only twice since 1949, because it is a harsh instrument which always threatens to end a coalition resulting in the election of a new chancellor or even a full election. On the other hand it allows the coalition party who is against the decision to show it is not willing to give up this position other than by force. This can save a coalition because it allows the government to continue its work even if a decision is necessary that would otherwise result in a breakup of the partnership. In almost all cases these situations are therefore solved by negotiations between the coalition partners.

I think it is, because Siri is barely usable any more. Other solutions have shown how bad it is and everyone hopes real AI will make it better…

You are correct. Most of these polls only have 1000 to 2000 participants.

I recently listened to a story of someone in Berlin tracking his lost bikes (yes plural) using air tags. The police helped him because they were genuinely interested in the new possibilities to actually find stolen bikes. Before they just had no real chance to track any of the stolen goods and therefore weren’t able to help without relying on just heresay.

The funny thing is: This will work against them regarding the EU DMA regulations. If no one uses their offer it will not be interpreted as nobody wants to use it, but instead it will be interpreted as the offer was unfair.

Oh Tesla gets the Twitter treatment. At that rate it will be renamed X within the next 7 months. Better make sure X (formerly known as Twitter) has been terminated by then otherwise they have to sue each other…

I’m seeing this as not “just a prank”. If you read a bit about Scientology and their practices you might realize that this is potentially existential for the guy. And given the audience I wouldn’t want to have Scientology established as an organization you use for a prank. If he really was that bitter about it he should have sued the guy or - what a crazy thought - just let him be.

I’m not a native speaker, but you can easily just watch the primary source (the second glitter bomb video) and you will definitely spot the part I refer to.

Edit: I have rewritten my original comment to make it easier to understand. I hope it worked.

I haven’t watched any of his videos since the second glitter bomb video. He was looking for people setting up glitter bombs as a trap and sent one to to someone who never had the intention to do ao. As consequence he sent some embarrassing postcards to the person’s neighbors and claims to have submitted the address to Scientology recruitment.

Acknowledging that 8GB only delivers mediocre performance at best would upset anyone who already bought a device with only 8GB. And as later upgrades are not supported by Apple it would abandon these users like buyers of a 1st gen Apple device…

So he proved his point, didn’t he…

You are right. I misinterpreted the information on wiki page. Debian 8’s free LTS tier ended 2020 and the Extended LTS continues until 2025. Extended support is a paid service though and costs a lot more than a single Windows license. Microsoft offers a similar (also paid) service.

You can also upgrade from Windows 10 to 11 for free.

They did provide security updates for several years longer than any competitor. Even (or especially depending on your point of view) for a company like Microsoft a user shouldn’t expect updates indefinitely at least not for the normal retail price.

And to be clear: I also don’t want to blame any of the named Linux distros. I recently migrated an old CentOS 6 server and it was about time. Sure there were still some security updates but several software components hadn’t received updates for years and there were a lot of workarounds necessary to keep the thing in a somewhat decent and modern state.
