A very strange project. I can see the reasoning to get something familiarly premium from a cheap source, but surely in any developed country your only ever starting point should be tap water. Water that has been bottled months ago and been

I honestly don't know why there is so much Jolla love here. I backed their tablet Kickstarter project early on and never got a product. Only a series of "it will take a bit longer" emails that got more spaced out and then sto

One issue seems to be also that there are means dead plugins, not updated for years but still available. Does that mean they are especially stable or just no longer maintained? I don't know but ili applied the same rule I would for FDr

While not wrong I'm not sure the publisher is uninterested as they are a competitor. E.g. this is how they criticise obsidian - suggesting that a default location backup is somehow worse than default cloud sync is just very strange to

I don't understand the hate here. Obsidian is a well working product that scratches many inches. Plugins allow to scratch some more itches, but are not mandatory. I am using several plugins and would prefer not to, but they allow me to

All salary discussions need a cost of living context. Yes in Europe you earn a bit less but the public services are much better than in the US and one emergency (r.g. healthcare) won't ruin you as it's mostly a public system. I&#x

Grossly incorrect and unfounded. There are no Googles there, but there are plenty of mid tier companies delivering quality products. For a blatant example see e.g. Shelly in Bulgaria. Or depending on how you count South, e.g. Vinci or Eni o

There are plenty of polish companies, but like in Germany many are more in the middle of the spectrum, so they might be well known in their sector but not much beyond. I've seen e.g. plenty of polish building materials and furniture ac

I'm sure that some people claim that but I would be grateful for evidence that solidarnosc received significant material support from the west.

Not to forget tens of billions in EU subsidies. Not trying to diminish the polish efforts, but not every country gets this opportunity of massive, predictable transfers without much conditionality. I wonder how far Poland would be without t

That's just bad outdated practice. It leads to cramming and less remembering than of the demand is for students to do work and show learning and effort throughout the year.

The Netherlands has a great agricultural economy, but is it really so innovative/sustainable ? Half seems to be giant greenhouses and the other half just the same planting the Germans or french do, maybe on larger fields. Definitely fa

Why even kill the grasses. If you can now and then directly plant would that not allow still most grains/vegetables to grow and overpower the grass/green fertiliser?

I'm sure there are many solutions for many problems, but expecting a small Foss development team to know or implement them all is rather unreasonable. I think the world gains more if the VLAN team focuses on their amazing, free contrib

Most interesting about this post is how easy it seems for OpenAI to do analysis on basically all chats ever made. They don't qualify exactly what data they analysed but seem to be confident in statements like 0.12% of all queries conta

Indeed. From the outside you think these are professional companies with smart people, but reading this I am thinking they sound more like a grandma typing "Dear Google, please give me the number for my friend Elisa" into the Goog

Personally I think that is a good thing. I have asked all AIs not to show enthusiasm, express superlatives (e.g. "massive" is a Gemini favourite) and stop using words which I guess come from consuming too many Silicon Valley-style

Gemini and Copilot are already full of ads, pushing the companies ' own services. I guess the only difference is here that OpenAI has nothing else to push, so they have to use external ads.

Not sure how a company like Primark that is known for using slave labour is "cool" or who would see it that way. Everyone I've ever heard talk about Primark went there solely for the price. Zara might be a better example (tho

Thanks! I think indeed shorter lessons with more interactivity would help a bit. And maybe a bit lighter on the AI summary/introductory sections :-)

I like the concept, thank you for building it. That said.. I'm lost how to use this site and don't think it's really usable as it stands. Rather than a tutorial/course I arrive at long pages listing dozens of concepts wi

The technical specifications published online foresee publication of the app also on alternative android stores, but Linux phone users are missing out. Though I guess things could always be extended...

Danke Leo, Seems to work again! Very nice and fast onboarding. To be honest I signed up without a specific use case so have to figure out what I really want to do with the tool, but I'm impressed at the sleekness and speed. Eversthing

Hi Leo, using a valid email and password I get a "There was an error with your registration" error. Also I wonder... How sustainable is this? Free is great, but what is your income/maintenance model? E.g. you offer calendar

I signed up for Hetzner a few weeks ago and didn't have to provide any ID. I pay by credit card. Not sure what differs in our cases, I'm based in EU.

Hi, I tried to find more details of this initiative which sounds quite interesting (I'm living in Belgium) but it seems there is no website or summary info available - is the only way to learn more about the model a 4h lecture recordin

I am 100% against militarism and wished we didn't need any of this, but the power balance between Russia and Ukraine or even Israel and the Palestinians seem to corroborate the thesis... There likely would be no Ukraine war today if Uk

Fun fact: copyright law was invented in the UK basically because painters and sculptors (!) considered photography theft. That came to a large degree before "real" text copyright as we know it today.

That makes no sense at all. There are plenty of other wine countries already in the EU. While France keeps strong on regional designations and standards, there is no one blocking wine imports except where they violate quality standards (thi

You link to a comment which lists a number of russian-paid propaganda actors spreading lies and hate. They have not been censored by a government but by courts which based on evidence identified breaches of law. It's something very dif
