The EU will not tax products which are critical for the European economy until/unless there is a viable local alternative.

What I expect the EU to do is to subsidise those fledging local alternatives. And yes, this is against WTO rules, but I guess nobody cares about that anymore.

No other world leader should accept an invite to the WH. Right now it’s 100% an ambush.

Luigi should get a medal and a statue.

Uh, it looks like someone has finally found some real ‘fraud’.

Not just games. Full operating systems from the 60s and 70s are being kept alive by hobbyists. Unfortunately there is no law or rule about proprietary/company specific software. In 50 years (or less) historians will know more about how the Romans did banking than how it was done in the early days of computing.

I am.

First, I got a three days ban for ‘prompting violence’. The flagged post said just literally ‘The Heritage foundation should be labeled as a terrorist group in Europe’. I appealed, just to get the temporary ban confirmed with no further reasoning.

But that was moot, because two days after that I got a permaban for ‘using multiple accounts to evade a temporary ban’. I just had an account, with a good number of years behind. I appealed this too, and got a ‘we are not changing this’ reply.

So I nuked my account, looked a little bit around and found this.

I miss some of the technical communities I was part in Reddit. But fuck them.
