Radio Free Europe was for 10 years almost the only way to know what's really going on in my country. I'm forever grateful to them and it horrifies me that their mission ultimately has failed.

I do wonder how much of fishery money ends up in the working class pockets. I assume the surviving companies survived because they have economy of scale, meaning most of the profits goes to corporate. If somebody has the numbers, I'd l

What do you have in mind? I am not aware of any foss platform, European or not, that is as accessible as Meta'a networks are. If you get asked about a server choice during the registration process, it's game over. The sad thing is

Symfony is there as well, a framework fit for large enterprise applications, and it works surprisingly well. Despite that, php has its limits, and it's important to know them, and the workarounds for most of them. What is also tricky i

The ESA and Arianespace provide hundreds of European companies with business, most of those subsidies go directly back to the knowledge economy that in turn generate tax income. It's a win-win really, and I'd rather have that than

Raising of a child, absolutely, yes, but childbearing is also an issue that shouldn't be underestimated. Regarding adoption, have you checked how extremely difficult and expensive it is to adopt? Surrogacy is simply not an option in ma
