That’s exactly the thing Norway warned about just before Brexit: https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-referendum-look-before-you-leap-norways-pm-tells-brexiteers/#%3A~%3Atext=In+return%2C%2Cas+the+U.K.

To get access to EU market, they still have to comply with many EU regulations while not having influence on what those regulations are and no access to EU agencies. So very much like still being in the EU, but worse.

I cannot provide advice about this specific case. But as a general advice to everyone, unionize before it’s too late. By the time you realize that your boss has been fooling you for one year in a way that will make it harder for you to claim a resolution, it may be too late. Don’t wait for problems to appear, unionize sooner to get advice and prevent things like this from happening in the first place.

I would call this more than just mildly infuriating. Every time there is soccer, a big part of the Internet stops working for me (including my own Netxcloud and Matrix instances, which I am proxing via Cloudflare).

No, the whole IP addresses are being blocked. Which is causing a huge issue for sites hosted in Cloudflare because thousands of sites share the same IP address and, when they find one single infringing site, they block the whole IP address affecting thousands of innocent sites. This has been widely reported by TorrentFreak, you can search there about how this works.

One thing I fail to understand about American towns is how they build a wide four-lane road in a residential area and they don’t even consider sidewalks.

That moment when he says “grab what you want”. Like, you know… I’m actually speechless.

Instead of mildly infuriating, I would call this vicariously embarrassing.

I have a TUXEDO Book BU1407.

The hardware support is quite good. It works with mainline Linux without requiring proprietary drivers or firmware.

But the laptop is very noisy. Sometimes I have to put a T-shirt or something under it when I want to watch a movie in silence without hearing all the vibrations it causes on the desk.

It also has a big bright power LED that is very annoying and I have to cover it when I use it in dark environments.

In five years, I had to replace the battery or power supply twice, which they didn’t sell and I had to buy from third parties. When I contacted support to try to diagnose why my laptop was not charging, their reply included expressions like “We can’t do magic. […] We can’t see into the future and we can’t be clairvoyant either” which I found very rude and unprofessional.

For all these reasons, I will not buy TUXEDO again and I think I will give Slimbook a try the next time I need to buy a laptop.

It always happens when a street is made pedestrian-only: the argument that it will reduce sales for small local businesses. I fail to understand how seeing cars drive past your shop is better for sales than people walking around your shop.

3 km sounds like too much to me. I don’t think most people here would walk that far to do their shopping, especially in 30°C heat, mostly because we usually have small supermarkets all around.

I currently walk 500 m to my small neighbourhood supermarket when I just need to buy a few things and I don’t recall ever living further away from some small supermaket. When I am running out of provisions, I take my car and go to a big hypermarket 7 km away. There are other hypermarkets closer by, even within walking distance (2.3 km), but that farther one is the one I like for doing a big shopping.

Of course, distance isn’t the only factor. It’s not the same 500 m in London or Amsterdam which are mostly flat than in the city where I live now, where the 500 m to my supermarket have gradients of up to 15 %.

If you have some time, some months ago I shared an article that I think explains that (and how that argument started decades ago with gay people and then moved to trans people now) in [email protected]: https://beehaw.org/post/12888662

It’s shocking indeed but not really surprising. Volkswagen was founded under the nazi regime as a state-owned company by Hitler’s initiative.

After Phoenix, it also went as Firebird for some time after Firebird database forced them to change to Firefox.

I like reading. Make sure your Kindle is fully charged, some books downloaded and articles downloaded in Pocket.
