If WebDav is your everyday bread, and you Linux your house, then you won't find anything special. But for most users, it is great. The app works seamlessly for me, but surely, there are others that would work similarly. But the real strength is...

...in their well curated blog. I found step-by-step instructions on almost everything I wanted to do with Koofr. That helped a million.

Good point. For reference, from the OP article:

Mark Rutte, in response to Donald Trump’s demands for a 5% target – suggests member states agree to raise defence spending to 3.5% of their GDP and commit a further 1.5% to wider security spending.

I can totally see Trump agreeing to get his 5% if part of it will be spent on climate adaptation and mitigation, or infrastructure in the "hostile and abusive" EU.

BTW: 3.5% is still more than any NATO country spends on R&D, maybe except of the US.

Good point. But I also think we should look sector-to-sector at growth. Or, better, develop better metrics. There is a lot of BS in GDP (like, introducing a vaccine might easily have a "negative" impact on GDP, since it is more cost effective than curing the disease once it happens, and thus causes less expenditure). But there are activities we would like to grow (like, renewable energy manufacturing or a big chunk of the medical field).

And FYI, here are the updated statistics on trade with China, seems to be stagnating (maybe outsourcing to new "rising markets")?

I understand that there are real threats in Europe. But... 5 fckn percent as a (!) minimum? None NATO country spends more than 3.5% on research and development (the only countries that do are South Korea and Israel). And that is everything from new medicines to new bombs to 5G to anthropology to climate science research. And now each and every country is supposed to spend more on tanks and guns and drones only? Play it smart, not hard, please...

Pls let's discuss this topic after they make their minds ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I get your point for Samsung, but % do not add up.

Thanks! It should be "Some Spanish people I know..." Sorry if I overexaggerated. It's just that over my life in student dorms, multiple unrelated Spanish people would be in the common kitchen when I was going to sleep (maybe still chatting after dinner), and they would be there when I woke up. This was blowing my mind.

I think when you use the word "siesta" in English (and many other languages), it becomes more specific than "nap". Like, if I take a nap at 8PM to go out and party later, I would not call it a nap. Similarly, when I was a kid I was napping while parents drove me to school - that I wouldn't call siesta either.

Maybe first put a carbon tax on fuels used in aviation? LOL

Petrol is reasonable, depending on how it is rolled out. The heating should be fixed by the state and the EU, not taxed. Like heating networks and heat pumps.

The last point does not hold. Spanish people I know eat dinner at 11 PM and breakfast at 7 AM. And they live outside of Spain, the timezone issue does not apply here. Idk when they sleep (Siesta? Siesta in Sweden/Germany?) Please explain.

What is wrong with .ee?

 

I think I've seen that asked before, but can't find the post now. I also know quite some instances of Fedi use Cloudflare.

 

Is there a way, without going to the source code, to check how the "explore" panel on mastodon, or the "discover" panel on Pixelfed, are generated.

I find it easy to understand my options for the feed on Lemmy - like "hot", "active", "new", and independently "subscribed", "local", and "all". I also like that I can customize it. Can I customize what I see on Mastodon/Pixelfed in a similar way?

 

As in the title. I mean, sometimes I know something should/could have happened by now, and I just want to find a coverage of it. Like last weekend, when the Soviet failed Venus probe was about to crash back on Earth.

I find it hard to search through the results of most search engines. I get tired of MSN handles and unreliable websites.

 

As in the title. I find most search engines to be very bad at finding memes. I haven't dared to ask LLMs...

 
 

Hey,

since this community is very much about choice of product based on where ownership and manufacturing is located, I though you might know some good video/text that explains how modern supply chains work.

I do not want just a theoretical explanation of what a supply chain is. I want some stats and examples related to present-day supply chains and their potential reshaping/disruption.

 

According to fedidb.org, lemm.ee is hosted in the US. But according to the admins, it is hosted in Finland (https://lemm.ee/post/57870549). Why the discrepancy?

Hey! I have been searching for platforms to collect money for a non-profit sustainability organization at my uni (in Sweden). If I search for options, I get lists of for-profit American companies.

I noticed lemm.ee uses ko-fi.com. It is British and my go-to option now. My pet peeve with it is that you need to use PayPal or Stripe to get money. I have no experience in (obtaining money through) crowdfunding, so idk how normal that is.

Do you know any other alternatives?

PS: We really need the crowdfunding goal (or just a count) feature for transparency.
