    The budget of the EU parliament? What do you mean? The budget of the parliament was about 740k€ in 2022. Did you mean the budget of the EU itself? It's about what you said (180B€ i…

    I just wish that Windows app would use the filesystem as it's meant to be rather than just pretend "dotfiles" get hidden on Windows. Just put your data in $env:APPDATA, damnit! Don…
