Going through this at the moment. Was it a physical card? What evidence of purchase did they ask you to provide?

Tutanota was forced to install a backdoor by a German court (see https://www.heise.de/news/Gericht-zwingt-Mailprovider-Tutano... ) I don't think a US court can force a US company t…

They've voted in favour of mass surveillance too. https://www.euractiv.com/section/data-protection/news/new-eu...

I wouldn't be so sure... https://www.euractiv.com/section/data-protection/news/new-eu...

I'm pro decentralisation too. The eurosceptic parties I know are all in favour of more surveillance. Pick your poison. ;-)

Nonsense? Ukraine applied for NATO membership in 2008. NATO didn't turn them down. It was pretty evident back then that this was going to lead to a conflict. Do I understand why Uk…

Most european countries are rearming no? And Ukraine is just the start. EU/NATO expansionism & Russia pushing back is going to lead to wars in Belarus/Armenia/Georgia as well.

Inflation is 6% higher than the average* , and nominal wages are up https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/documents/2995521/15265521/2-1...

I expect more people will vote far right or far left as a consequence. I'm a moderate, but the centre parties that created this mess won't get my vote again.

Consider yourself lucky you're not across the sea in the Netherlands. Inflation is 14%+ and household purchasing power is below the level it was 20 years ago.

One other thing about Svalbard : no VAT or excise duty!

I was replying to "Considering the amount of profits and cash reserves this company has, I don't see why some people are so opposed to taxing them..."

I don't get why Apple should pay for the disastrous policies of the EU?

OMG. Just saw the Thinking Machines CM-2 replica on their homepage. What an awesome idea.

"ensuring our layoffs – while a business necessity today – were carried out through an Anti-Racist/Anti-Oppression lens.” This sounds pretty racist to me. Why didn't he just say "c…

Thought of that keyboard made me laugh. Mine was a BBC Master btw!

Is that Swedish math? Where I come from that amounts to 8700 trees per inhabitant.

Tell that to the Crimeans. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/03/18/six-years...

"we" didn't want them to do business with us. See "MEPs demand full embargo on Russian imports of oil, coal, nuclear fuel and gas" https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-room…

The most idiotic policies come from the EU. Janet Yellen had to intervene to stop them from implementing a total boycott on Russian energy in April. https://www.europarl.europa.eu/…

The gas related sanctions hurt Europe more than Russia. With an ever more powerful China, I don't think that's good for the US.
