Then your bigger problem is using Windows...
But how would they know? It's like Blade Runner.
Same, I thought it was an April Fools' joke at first.
Europe has donated around ~$150 billion USD (including from member states). That's almost an entire year's EU budget, over 20x the ESA's annual budget (wtf), and over 20x the EU's 6-year contribution to ITER (double wtf).
The money comes from somewhere and Europe is broke.
The US needs to stop shirking their duty, and send the military in. They are making an absolute fortune off LNG and weapons exports, they should take the responsibility to help.
EDIT: Also rich for Poland to complain about this when they are the biggest leech of EU funds in the Union. It's absurd that there are only ~9 net contributors to begin with.
That is irrelevant to the effective ban on gene-editing and CRISPR though. They can do the same thing with hybrids, etc.
I do agree with some of your post though, but even efforts to control fertiliser over-use are really difficult to manage.
I think the EU should fund the research and disallow genetic patents, but allow companies to do the production themselves.
It's a great movie too.
Nah, it's a scam if you look into it. They spend it all on "AI Safety" and "Existential Risk" bullshit.
It's a shame as the general concept is cool with microloans and crowd-funding, etc. but it's really been taken over by that crowd.
They can - but the issue is if the other instances don't help ban them too then it can become a lot of work literally whackamole.
Like I understand it, but I still think this is an over-reaction. Lemmy.world has been good in banning spammers I've reported there in my experience.
We really need more tools for the UI experience (starting with fixing the refreshing home page and post switching bugs!) - like to allow communities and instances to completely block image posts and comments, to auto-moderate URLs, detect users posting repeat content, etc. but de-federating like this is not the answer IMO.
This does much more harm than good IMO - splintering the community at such a sensitive time of growth is a bad idea.
Hopefully there'll be the ability to block images in comments and posts, and better tools for blocking / detecting spammers, and cross-instance bans, auto-moderating hyperlinks, etc. soon.
But the demand for unilateral access to other communities' content is disturbing. The Lemmy federation works because of reciprocity.
Definitely won't be recommending beehaw for new users now.
Seems weird to push it more, even with all the issues BG3 has had supporting both models.
That said, with the high inflation and crazy hardware prices (especially here in Europe) it's nice to see some gaming hardware available on a reasonable budget.
I wish they'd make it more open though like the Steam Deck is. It feels so stupid having like $350+ of good hardware and then not being able to use it to easily do whatever you want.
Like a mix between the UK and Germany.
The housing situation is also quite bad, it's near impossible to rent if you move here for work (unless your company acts as a guarantor).
The rent-controlled housing queue system is extremely corrupt and long - at least 8-year queues (unless you're related to the local administration). Taxes are also insanely high on workers - 56+% income tax, 25% VAT.
The currency has collapsed since COVID so wages are far worse relative to Europe than before (and let's not even mention the USA).
It's far from everywhere (you're not going on holiday to Russia these days), with few direct flights, and long delivery times for imports.
But still the transport is quite good, there are a fair number of new apartments if you can buy a leasehold (it has its own issues with high fees and interest rates though), and a lot of online services.
I'd give it a 6/10.
