Microsoft Windows has no alternatives.
Apache, bind, no alternatives.
I guess there is still work to do.

I guess you can make that same argument about USA and America. Canada is clearly America but a Canadian would not refer to himself as American whereas a US national would. Europeans hardly refer to themselves as such but when European countries are lumped together, it has become common to ignore geography and refer to those affiliated with EU membership or bilateral EU affiliation (Norway, Switzerland, Iceland) as Eu…
Europe is a geographical region, the only question is where does it border neighboring regions (Asia). There is no ambiguity about whether Switzerland or Norway and so on are in Europe. They are.

For mail, the answer is to own your domain. If you move away from (probably) Gmail, you don't want to lock yourself into an @proton.me. Get your domain, and use whatever provider you want (it can be Proton, but there are many others). In Europe I like Migadu.
Even for own domain, what are the risks of choosing a .com domain and US based registrar if your country can potentially be hit by sanctions or your registrar tends to develop a sudden surge of misplaced morality.
Yep, I go for a domain owned by my country, good point!

#84"Europe does it better". Sorry, but as an European who roots for EU very much, I found that branding laughable, because it's absolutely not true at all. Those Eurooean alternatives are absolutely of significantly worse quality almost across the board, simply because there's less money thrown at them. It's also making it sound pretty, disingenuous, and adding to ongoing gamification of relationship with the US. "Europ…

#85I find it somewhat odd that "European software/servers" has taken off for what is clearly political purposes, but without any clear definition of what "Europe" even means. How can you claim that "Made in Europe has stood for top quality and durability" if "Europe" is defined based on current political allegiance, not geography? In fact, the domain "only-eu.eu" and the title, "European" are contradictory. Belarus and…
Russia is definitely not unquestionably European.
Going to school helps.

All Europeans know what is meant by Europe. We just don't agree on it. But it does mean "not US or someone hostile to us" and that's enough of a definition without splitting hairs about Belarus.

Can't we just use claude desktop / cli to generate an invoice. In my experience if you provide some skills and access to some data it can generate pretty consistent invoices. No other tools needed at all.
Invoices have strict requirements and having the model accidentally hallucinate and make an incorrect invoice could put you in legal trouble. Besides, why would you pay for tokens instead of using a free tool?

It's all performative anyway.

Unfortunately I think it's mostly just a meme at this point.
