I’m not saying Article 5 is UN. I’m saying UN authorizes NATO operations (including the one initiated by triggering article 5) meaning Europe’s participation in Afgan invasion actually example of following international law, not selectively ignoring it

While I agree Europe bend rules sometimes, your examples are out of the place. Europe (NATO actually) assisted in Afganistan because it respected law - UN is authority in such cases and it authorized operations as per article 5 triggered by US. One can argue that Europe supported Israel but honestly EU part of Europe is just slow to react, even when they just need to withdraw support. I feel like EU didn’t want to support Israel (and looking at how mad orange man support was not according to expectations) but since it takes so much time for 27 countries to coordinate on foreign policy it was going by inertia.

Is there at least one real cloud provider in EU? I mean real cloud provider with good number of managed services like managed DB, messaging, k8s, serverless workloads, object storage, IAM, monitoring, secrets vault, multi-zone/regional deployments, API Gateway and so on? Like real cloud not just hosting with VMs and few templates for deploying open source software. This is what Europe needs, like decade ago

By chance, maybe, but I specifically don’t click on “Advertised” links in search results. Even if do, does it matter if I’d chose service anyway? Coz all it changes is money moved from one rich ass to another. It doesn’t make me buy what I didn’t plan to buy. Contrary, I might avoid products which are too pushy with ads. In place where I come from people used to say that good things don’t need advertisement. So to me this ad changes nothing. If tomorrow world stop making ads nothing changes to me - I do search, it gives me options, I do research and make a decision

Is phone book an ad? The fact I bought something does not mean I did it because ad convinced me. When one buys a car presume they check what is available on the market and select option based on comparison. Same with travel, you don’t visit place because you saw poster somewhere, you have limit time so you find a list of popular options and pick what to visit. It’s exactly what you called it - research and review. It’s people rating things helping you make your choices, not companies convincing this is what you want to buy by showing you 10 seconds stupid ass video. Or at least I hope. I never understood the concept of ads beyond informing that this business exists. From my perspective could be just brand name and what it sells. No difference to me. I always thought it would be much better to just have site list of businesses with description and reviews

I typically find those things on the map. Or in specialized apps. Don’t see how it’s ad driven revenue.

Also who is changing barbers every time or moving between cities every few weeks? It’s like once a year thing for most people, isn’t it?

TF is this formatting

I see your point, at the same time I’m afraid of what would be my country if everyone forced to vote considering all propaganda and disinformation. Though it’s more of campaigning system issue than voting system issue

Yes, literally says

please (будь ласка) stack (складіть) chairs (стільці) at the end (наприкінці) of the day (дня)

Ukrainian, like many slavic languages, has no articles and uses grammatical cases

If Cyrillic is fine you can say in Ukrainian “Будь ласка складіть стільці наприкінці дня”. I’ll transliterate with polish spelling as it’s closest sounding language I know, not perfect but best I can do: “bud laska skladit stilci naprykici dnia”

As a teenager I was the only person in the house who understands computers. Naturally I was the admin. All this computer “jailing” is so insane to me.

Is he dumb? It’s been almost 12 months since A. D. started. What was he waiting for

Wut? Since when Belgia fights on the front line? I don’t get your logic

Is it regional? Am I safe to update in Europe?

Dude is fighting with entire NATO for 4 years without NATO even knowing about this. Give him a break

Most insane to me is that, it’s EU who will have to deal with humanitarian crisis and spend more money supporting Ukraine to offset Russia’s oil profits from increasing prices.

Call me crazy but US seems to have more interest in supporting Russia’s war and destabilizing EU than destroying Iran’s regime. As part of this operation at least

I don’t get it. E2ee is about encryption in transit not encryption at rest. TLS sounds exactly like e2ee

Check out koofr it is privacy focused, GDPR compliant and has 10Gb free-forever plan

They do it every 3-7 years. It’s typical “effective manager” move.

Given: costs are high, quality is good

When: manager wants promotion

Then: reduce cost -> current manager gets promoted, new manager assigned -> reduced costs reduces quality -> reduced quality causes loss -> new manager have brilliant idea to increase quality by increasing costs -> quality is good, costs are high -> no losses -> current manager promoted, new manager assigned -> … guess what is next

Side effect: engineers sitting in the corner, watching this circus. No promotion btw

Kessler is inevitable. Today, no one will cancel satellite launch because others asked them not to. Since humanity is not capable of cooperating we will end up with satellites Cold War. We actually in it already. I’d rather let them learn the hard way and make them all crash, than use it for military advantage. Yeah, some satellites are useful like wildfire monitoring and GNSS, others are either flex or military. Maybe loosing all those useful one will make humanity cooperate and lunch only what really necessary in coordinated and transparent way
