Premise: Moon is cheese coloured.

Conclusion: Moon is made of cheese.

You’re absolutely right. It’s not dumb because of that. It’s a dumb take because obviously migration can be weaponised, it’s being done all over the world and has nothing to do with how racist a country is. Is there problems with racism in Europe? Sure. Is it worse than anywhere else? Hardly.

So you’re either very naive, pro-russian, or trolling. I hope it’s the first.

Dumbest take I’ve seen today. Well done. I hope it’s just trolling.

Let’s hope you’re right.

That’s not for me to answer. I honestly don’t know. But from what I recall about our lorry/train discussion it’s the labour cost of switching transportation combined with the time it takes both to switch, but also trains rarely go directly to the destination you want. They tend to do stops, or detours. So there are conditions where trains absolutely would be the better/cheaper option, but they’re pretty rare, so setting up one transport process instead of two is usually better, even if a few transports could be done cheaper/better.

But also yes, we spend a lot more money on improving our roads than we do on improving our railway networks.

I mean, how dumb is this? “Too often, national rules still force trains to stop at borders, when driving from one EU country to another. […]stopping trains at internal EU borders, and having to change crews and locomotives that are not certified for the next network’s national requirements[…]”

I can answer on why they don’t use trains if you like. I know a professor in logistics. It’s because it’s cheaper to use lorries. Moving goods from the factory to the train, move it onto the train, transport it, then move it from the train to a lorry again and take it to the destination isn’t as efficient as we’d like

They used to have car trains though, and that I would love to have back. Imagine just driving onto a train car, leave it there and go into the normal train where you could eat, drink and sleep, and after a day or so wake up at your destination. I would stop flying, given that the price was competitive. Which it wouldn’t be sadly, but one can dream.

I like I2P. Such a cool concept and there are plenty of services that can be built upon it. Most famous for anonymous torrenting I suppose, but it can do so much more.

I’ve done it on a few subs, so it probably depends on the mods. Haven’t been banned yet.

Head over there and promote a platform of free speech where Mamdami can be discussed. Like… this one?

Foreign intelligence must be having the best day ever. Soldiers, with access to lots of interesting stuff, desperate for cash.

I’m not sure the US administration thought this one through properly. But at least they have that “warrior mindset” and no beards now. So that’s good I suppose.

Don’t know either but I assume it has something to do with taxes.

A bit of both, but there’s no denying that a lot of countries, especially in the east, got a lot better. Still plenty do do, sure, but things have improved by a lot. Both economically and socially the countries that ware behind the iron curtain have seen massive improvements.

OrganicMaps isn’t.

Came here to say the same thing. Malboro and a Zippo? GTFO!

Just copied from the article/video. I believe one of the rules is to not editorialize.

You might know more about this than me, but how does make capital available to small businesses looking to grow turn the EU job market into a hellscape? Care to elaborate?

Tried it a bit, didn’t get very far but will have a look again. Very good tool to have some knowledge about.

Good tip. Thanks.

I might not go for that solution. 😂

Is it better to keep MQTT, Zigbee etc in containers rather than in HAOS itself? Am I not just creating an upgrade/dependency mess for myself?
