> The Euros also underfunded their defense obligations and received huge amounts of US investment in facilities, enabling them to upfund social programs, socialized healthcare and most egregiously 8 - 12 week vacations which are completely unheard of in the US.

It's hard to detect sarcasm through the screen but in case you're being serious and just repeat what Trump says, he does this because Americans are not stupid and are asking, why Europeans can enjoy free healthcare, education and 4-week holidays and we cant? The answer "because we sponsored them" makes no sense but finds fertile ground in the hearts of some people.


> NATO is critical for the European powers (those not named Russia).

To be pedantic, Canada is a major non-European NATO member.

And then there are allies, some of them designated by Trump:

Or, they were, as there is no certainty under his rule.


>I have now set all my editors to move by paragraph with ctrl+up/dn.

It's even simpler with Vim - just one keystroke - { or }.


On a US keyboard layout this is the same number of keys because { and } are Shift+[ and Shift+]

I don't think Russians are directly behind this. They targeted trains in Poland twice, but I suspect the next targets would be in Germany, France and the UK, and not Spain which is relatively conservative in supporting Ukraine.

Literally nothing you have said is backed up by any evidence. Provide evidence, please, or retract your nonsense claims.

Opinion is not fact. Provide some facts to support your atrocious claims. You have provided only an opinion based on specious references to groupthink.

Spaniard here. Nope; we are full of "take the money and run" type CEO's, where they even blamed the train driver. He might be partially accountable, but it wasn't his fault in the very end.

This happened in 2013.

Attacks by russia on German railways happen at least once per month, the last one happened yesterday and a train with chemicals was targeted. They attack our production.

Spain is not Germany geopolitically.

There is absolutely no viable evidence presented to support the claim that Russia is responsible for these attacks. It could just as easily be claimed that the CIA is responsible for these attacks - simply because the USA also stand to benefit from such actions. However it would be inappropriate to make this claim without evidence.

You are spreading disinformation.


I don't get it, why is this on the front page? None of the arguments make any sense. The "Windows is getting terrible" aspect is not an accidental or uncontrollable phenomenon, it's a result of deliberate strategy to onboard all Windows users to Microsoft's cloud just like Apple and Google did. There is no single reason ditching Windows for Linux would help MS in any way.

Depends on what you do. If you need to have a fully working site with external integrations, SSL and so on, it's just easier to spend $4 a month on a VPS. But you're right, for many backend-based projects a local VM like multipass or a kind/microk8s cluster are perfectly fine.

I disagree. A ton of linting is cosmetic stuff, you need more specific guardrails, even though linting in general is helpful.

How is it different from Zulip?

> Microsoft still offers a one time purchase of Office.

he writing is on the wall, they will remove it sooner or later.


It's been available for something like 15 years since subscription purchase was introduced. Why so negative?

Make the one-time purchase while you still can. The educational version is a great value, and the license allows the software to be used for commercial purposes.
