For a while, every company who wanted to so some Virtue signaling was giving Tesla rather than Mercedes to their executive as a way to tell the general public we’re environmentally conscious that part of Tesla’s marketing is gone for good.
Moreover, and most-likely a bigger factor in the sales drop is that, every car maker has now an electric offer. Let alone all the advertising for BYD who really tries to enter the European market. So mechanically Tesla sales are dropping
Isn’t it even part of US law? And why big organization request their data to be hosted in their country?.
I thought this was far more than just Snowden
Wouldn’t it be the other way around ? Lobby to get a bus stop to drag more customer ?
if I were to become a citizen of the UK, or Germany, or France, I would not feel comfortable using the term British, German, or French to describe myself. Because those words are not just nationalities, but also ethnicities.
From a french perspective, What you said about French being a naitonality and a ethnicity sounds pretty racist, like the kind of things that Le Pen thinks but doesn’t dare to say too loud. France bragg a lot about every french citizen is equal and fully french (well we do have racist cunt so it’s not fully true, but it’s not the thing people would claim in public)
I am a bit concerned by brit media obsession with naming any suspect. Sounds a big breach of innocence presumption. And considering how severe is the accusation (if true it can wait 6mènth for a verdict, but would avoid a defamation if not)
Next Monday, at 6:30 5 lorries will leave the main base to bring supply to the outpost, these vehicle will take the highway 13, then the road 666, One hour prior to the operation, mine-sweepers will inspect the bridge, and special forces will secure the pass to prevent an ambush.
Now the enemy knows exactly when to attack.
Open the windows at night. It’s more efficient if you have blinds and can close them to prevent the sun to heat the windows during day
Something that is very easy to forget is that stock value is only very loosely tied to actual company value. Stock value is based on what people are prepared to pay for the stock, not what the company is worth.
Which IMO is a real problem in Tech companies If I look at more traditional industries, A coca-cola stock gives me ~ 0.50 US$ per quarter, so with an expected yield of 3% I am ready to buy a stock at US$ 66. and the current market value is US$ 68, if I do the same exercise for Airbus with 2 EUR of regular divident and 2 EUR of exceptional dividend and that I expect a 3% yield, I would pay 133 EUR for an airbus stock, for a market value of 166. A worse investment than Coca-cola, but still a decent one especially considering the raise of the military companies.
And then there is tech company giving no dividend and using stock buyback (How is that even legal) to keep the company value artificially high.
There is tons of legit way to exercise, and lifting weight in a gym isn’t the only way. It may be worth looking at sports clubs in your town, no matter you want to practice Karate, volley ball or even rock dancing these are fun and legit way to exercise. They also tend to be more social than fitness gym which helps with motivation.
Now regarding what you can do at home, depending what you call home. A fitness mat and a rubber band can bring you far. Body weight training does work too. While not strictly at home running is fun too, and goes from beginner who alternate one minute running and one minute running to people preparing Ultra Marathon
Way easier, most of us do carry 24/7 a tracker and store our data in foreign host cloud. This also includes target of interest who still use social media, Ms office/google/apple cloud and more.
Special forces and submariner do post on strava letting everyone know where they are, weapon industry engineer bring work at home saving data on Microsoft cloud and way more stuff which are supposed to be forbidden but happen
Yes, many of us do filter by language, because I can’t read Korean nor Italian. However, I kept undetermined in my setting.
I believe it also helps people using screen reader to have the proper setting when reading lemmy, especially in a multi lingual social network such as here
I expect that the money goes in the boss pocket. Well I understand the cost of the truc, tooling, and paying an employee waiting for a call has a cost, but still shit it’s expensive for 45 min of work and one hour of commute doctors and lawyer are cheap in comparison
Plumber.
Just got borderline scammed by one of these 24/7 unclogging company. Considering what I paid, if you work two hours a week, you get more than the minimal wage over a month
If you have any leadership role in a guild, you know more about (project) management than someone who doesn’t
At the time there was no server per language/regio, we learned English by playing video game
IVAO/vatsim might help you to learn aviation phraseology. However, relatively few simmer do fly VFR on the network
Frozen veggie are a cheat-code. If you’re in a hurry, just throw some veggies in a pan, You can make pasta or rice to eat-with if you want soemthing a bit more heavy, and if you feel in a luxury mood add cococonut cream in curry powder
Why would any one spend one month of minimal wage in a phone, especially considering the trend to boycott made in US.
I am ready to believe that iPhone are great but no way I spend that much money for a phone
there isn’t actually that much to read, at the user level. Nowadays, on a “user friendly distribution” you should be able to launch firefox to browse lemmy, and open a pdf without much difficulties. Even printer aren’t anymore a nightmare to install.
Main stuff to know IMO.
Linux distribution came with app store long before it was cool, for 99% of the case should just use-them, no need to worry (at first) about how to install an app which doesn’t come from an official repository
While you can choose among many Desktop environment, just take the one coming with the distro you choose and get used to it.
Terminal is a pretty neat tool once you know-it, but so is a Torque-wrench for your car. You do not have to know how to use-it to use a PC.
While it’s a core belief of Abrahamic monotheist that there is no god but Gods practically speaking some people kept some traditionul/pagan belief. I think obviously about some Africans doing their own mix, but even in Europe, tons of Pagan belief stay around, stuff like knocking on woodor having a Christmas tree, let alone various form of witchcraft which are also illegal for Christians but quite common, no matter whether it’s an old man reading runes or a teen girl praying the moon because it looks cool on TikTok
It’s surprising that it’s not standard in any country and that it’s not managed at the municipal level.
Where do I evacuate in case of natural disaster? Is there a dangerous factory which may explode/ release toxic products nearby? How high is the flood risk? What about forest fire
These info should be easy to get for everyone. Statistically speaking some citizen will (unfortunately) need it this year
In theory, they’re supposed to have custom-made secure phone with built-in cryptography, a famous example would be modern Police walkie-talkie which practically speaking are using a protocol closer from (legacy) mobile phone than from radio.
The problem is that it’s 2025 and not 1995 anymore. When it was about A mobile device which can carry voice and short text message A custom device would be a bit more bulky and expensive. But today, when smartphone are mini-computer with tons of cool feature, and that people are used to have group-chat, touch screen, visual call. Sudently a custom-device feels like back in 2005. And here is the problem, most high level politicians aren’t cryptography nerd or Military/Intelligence officer understanding how to be discrete, they’re marketing and communication people who love these fancy UI, and need to show off.
