Not only that, but it keeps getting re-shared every week like it's breaking news.
Like, I get it's exciting to see an European government giving the middle finger to a huge US multinational for once, but we need to move on. If anything, these examples should be given to pressure other governments to do the same.
I just noticed this is the technology community and not the BuyEuropean community. So my comment doesn't make sense.
I mean, I understand your sentiment, but if we SRE gonna limit ourselves to things tjat aren't manufactured in China then we will, quite literally, be living on the streets.
If we can increase our consumption of brands that are even 20-30% European, that already has a huge impact on our economy.
Oh great, thanks for that! I've been agonising over the fact of having a kindle laying around my table, but now I can feel better by screwing over Amazon.
Question, if I jailbreak, what happens to the Amazon books I already bought? Will they still be there? Because sadly some books can only be found on amazon because they are too niche and I can't afford to lose them.
Nice revisionism mate.
It compares similar products for nutritional value, not the overall "healthiness" of all products compared with each other.
Yes, but nobody knows that, they don't teach it in school, and people just ignore it anyway because it seems unreliable.
I agree with you, and I'm not arguing to trust them blindly. What I am against is accusing them without evidence, which is what is happening here.
I am arguing for Trust, but Verify. China is useful right now as we slowly veer away from US services.
Linux Mint and Zorin (not in the image sadly) are developed in Ireland!
I'm sorry, where were these people captured? In China? No? They were captured in Ukraine
Do you know how many European citizens are currently fighting in Ukraine? I suppose in your mind we are already at war with Russia, Article 5 has been triggered and all. Right?
And these fighters call those claims into question. Do you need a fucking puppet show?!
Yes, I do. Because these two events don't connect, unless you just want to hate on China.
No comment on that "apologist" retort. I know some of you guys like to pretend that Chinese people are part of some hivemind and have no autonomy from their government whatsoever, but that's just straight up racism from your part. There really is no other word for it.
Sounds like a great idea for a film. I have the feeling it would become an instant cult classic.
