All this is true, bit Vance is the vice president, if Trump goes, we’re stuck with him for the remainder of Trumps term.

Liberapay is a good way to regularly give to open projects with out having to remember to go back to a project page. A european equivalent to patreon for FOSS projects and creators.

And leave us with Vance? It’s the same incompetence.

It has never been meant to be a peacekeeping force but a dissuasive force. It is meant to be on Ukraine’s side from day one, not one to be in the middle. And that’s a good thing in my book. There clearly is a victim and a criminal here.

It still will be dissuasive because western soldiers and western air forces will still be used on the ground and in the skies of Ukraine. This was the French vision ( having the troops sent there be used not on watchtower duty but to make the ukrainians into the future EU armed forces by integrating western millitary standards into the ukrainian armed forces ) It’s good the UK sides with that vision.

If they wanted peacekeeping, the Russian proposition of putting UN troops as a peacekeeping force would have done the job.

Maybe because logistics is such a complicated mess grok can’t process it?

The only thing is negociation time. It takes a very long time to strike such accords and the political time in the US is very short.

Everything could be reversed tomorrow or in 2 years or never or be rereversed in 4…

Trade deals among stable countries usually account for longer lifespans to assure the market they can deploy and still benefit from it in 20 years.

It takes an especially long time with the EU as you need all 27 countries to accept it through each parliament and sometimes referendums and account for incoming countries. Any “no” is a veto of the whole accord. And you have to start all the negotiation from scratch.

It reminds me a lot of the first things that A. Hitler did in Germany after being elected. Putting the problem away.

But just like the Nazis of old, this government is going to start thinking about a way to keep putting the problem away at a lesser cost, especially once ICE get too many deportees to keep flying them out without humongous logistics.

They are going to hit the same hurdles, and (hopefully not) deal with them in the same way.

To be recognised as ukrainian. What else?

No. Add your own suggestions as an answer to the superthread, maybe with the website, github etc… And a short description.

A better replication of MS office. Exel formulas, word document formating etc…

Was it worthwhile to fuck up the economy for it? This is a conservative sub, spare us the confusion between cause and effects of dumb governance.

The benefit of conservative thinking is in the name ffs.

The whole MAGA movement is a radical revolutionary movement, not a conservative one.

Paid builds. You get Access to the source code but you can either build yourself or pay a small amount to have a packaged built and updated whenever.

I also like the twice a year nag screen thunderbird or Wikipedia uses (KDE was right to start doing it too, in my books).

I don’t believe a small donate button in the “about” section of the settings screen is of any use.

The chinese are falling into Trump’s trap and are actively helping him make his promise true: gas is cheap.

What a 5D chess player!

/S on all that, OfC !

They have all kind of trades that allows them to move around : the ever present food trucks or amusements machines for fairs, the traditional chair seating and cushioning repairs (it costs a lot, and their unique abilities and traditions is sought for antiques).

They also do all kinds of odd jobs on the cheap. Redoing the whole masonry isn’t something you would ask someone who isn’t seriously settled but simply refreshing a paint job? Cleaning up a roof, a driveway? Trimming a few tall trees? Sure.

Are they clean about taxes? Probably not.

Are they all drug smugglers and thieves? I don’t think more than the general population, really. Crimes tend to get higher when they are around but which part is them doing it and which part is people using the presence of a recurent scapegoat ?

There are quite a few full, non webview wrapper browsers on android.

Most gypsies do in continental western Europe, nice cars too. I can also tell you where they were heading is a very luxurious area where mansion owners are maybe a bit more equal than a farmer who wants to rent out his field.

Read, and already done all that.

I suggest you add another link: donate to projects you enjoy via Liberapay (or switch to helping projects and creators you enjoy through this rather than patreon/paypal).

Also

There was once a VISA Europe branch that was separate from VISA .inc, it’s not the case anymore since 2015 when VISA bought back ViSA Europe.

There are countries where debit cards are also compatible with a local system and in those countries, banks make the POS devices use that local system by default (for cost cuttings) if the card is compatible and only use Visa/MasterCard if the card is not compatible.

This is getting ridiculous beyond anything. I don’t believe for a second this can really be applied, China being the real makers of every and any everyday object bought in the US. Even stuff proudly labelled “made in the USA” is often the assembly in the US of Chinese parts from the pencil or lighter to the refrigerator and the tin can containing corn. Those tariffs wouldn’t last a week. Also, what I just said here is enough to make a few countries start dumping their US bonds if those tariffs last more than a few days.

also, depending on where you live, it could get quite hard to keep up with crossing the t’s and doting the i’s legally. some countries want you to keep erchives for x years, some want you to answer to police requests within a short time, others do not consider hijacking as an excuse for a nefarious use of the server of which you are responsible etc. I chose to host a server once, was 8 hours late on an update. got fucked but finaly got my case heard. I’m now using a lan only facing nextcloud server coupled with a VPN connection when I’m out and only use my domain for mail (outsourced the server though).
