Not really. Spain's traditional format is dd/mm/yyyy with slashes. This applies for a good chunk of Europe. Germany/Austria uses dot, I think nordic countries embraced the dash. Wh…

I'd venture to say that the person meant that these kind of devices should be designed to work "locally first".

I think this comment is, while factual, slightly misleading. Only around 16% of people "living off the government" are public servants, from which over 50% are for essential servic…

My take from the article isn’t that it’s really expected from Amazon. It’s calling out the hypocrisy of what Jeff has done at the Post.

I think you didn’t get the question. If we were to seek that evidence, who would turn to?

I don’t know, there seems to be more evidence in support of this fact than there seems to be of it being propaganda: https://www.twz.com/45098/ukraine-situation-report-evidence-...…

I now prefer to use overlayfs with a tmpfs overlay. Much simpler to configure and update.

They might not explicitly, but you have the right to take any data you have or they might have on you of any service, no matter if you have an account or not: aka right of access. …

Calling out anthropomorphization of corporations when related to morality or politics while attributing rationality or self-interest is a contradiction. Corporations have no self-i…

Wouldn’t this easily be circumvented by creating a website that shows you the source of any other website?

The parent mentioned not what alphabet does, but where it gets (most) of its revenue from. Google is making phones, but not really making a lot of money from them. So the question …

I remember reading about the talc issue in Spain, and a quick search led me to congressional action on talc: https://oversight.house.gov/news/press-releases/chairman-kri... I’m afr…

For a few months my wife had a baking job that required her getting up at 4. I’d get up with her and start to work after breakfast. I’d have the days work before 9:00 standup. More…

I think this post is just ignoring some of the realities that a lot of people have gone through. In many places you weren't allowed to leave your home at all. In spain, only one ad…

What about older people who couldn't even have their daily walks for several months? Should they be squatting in their tiny apartments holding water bottles instead? I'm sure there…

We have been trying to reverse engineer Roman cement for quite some time. There are quite a few things that past civilizations did that are impressive by today’s standards and then…

You mean to a properly managed country. Aren’t most fires on federal land?

I think the point is that even though it is called a phone, it is actually a portable super computer, and in many cases the only one people have. We can’t pretend it is only a devi…

Happy user of bunq.

Hmmm... I see a correlation between taste of bread and evilness here.

I agree generally with what you say but I’d substitute experts with humans.

And washing the dishes is also uncomfortable and always get wet unless you squat all the time. :)

I think it’s far too soon , and naive, to make such a statement. It’s easy to see some of the mistakes done by Spain and Italy in hindsight, but I don’t see central and Eastern Eur…

I think Climate change, population growth, travel, antimicrobial resistance are all good candidates in increasing the risk of this happening more often.
