    I'm not from the US, so please correct me if i'm wrong. My understanding is that the Social Security in the US is more comparable to our "AOW". And our AOW is not changing. Our pen…

    I don't see it happening. What's in it for the average user to self-host? Why would they put in the effort (even if it's a very small effort) if their cloud option just works for t…

    By that standard we would have "lifetime" warranty on everything sold in The Nederlands, since by law we require warranty as long as you can reasonably expect a product to last.

    There's also this LoRa for Flux that generates "1999 Digital Camera Style" images. Those are also very realistic in my opinion. It's probably due to the imperfections and how munda…

    I don't think anyone from Europe would be against fining EU companies operating in the US that are violating US laws.

    I'm not from the US, so i'm honestly curious, does sales tax really change that often? The reason i'm asking this, is because here in The Netherlands there was some news a couple o…

    I have mixed feelings about this. The Netherlands is an expensive country to live in, and this is paid for using taxes. If you decide to live and work in The Netherlands, i would e…
