Isnt it a security bonus, if not all data is sent throught the edge “VPN”?

I wonder, how hard is it to create a Linux port of a game? And what are the benefits with proton working so well with most games?

And they have enough people to maintain and inspect the hundreds of thousands of reactors that are going to be built, if those small reactors work?

According to the page it supports note linking. Isn’t obsidian also free as long as you are not using the sync service?

At the moment I am using Anytype, but am looking into obsidian. Lately anytypes development feels kind of strange. They are more an more moving from a note app to a collaboration app. And I wonder how long the note taking will be unaffected by it. So obisidian is becoming more and more interesting, because of the independent markdown format…

Maybe in hindsight it would have been better to have kept the nuclear power running, phasing out coal first and limit our CO2 emissions. (Who am I kidding, we would still emit the same amount of CO2, because we would have phased out coal already and Germany is only 2% of the problem…) But maybe we avoided fallout in central Europe and noone will know, which version of the past we decided against.

I hope they follow through with it. And I also hope they allow for quick incremental changes instead of aiming for the perfect solution right away that will take a decade to develop and implement. Just to be clear, I think it should be the far goal to be fully independent from US and other non-EU software.

Everyone was happy when they could outsource dirty and labor-intensive jobs to China and benefit from the cheap products. China gladly took on these tasks and built a monopoly. Now, it is the sole source for most minerals and rare earth elements because everyone else stopped producing them. China is now moving up the value chain, processing these raw materials into higher-value products. However, the world has become so dependent on China’s mineral supplies that countries cannot block trade with China without risking their own production halts, since China could also stop selling the materials they rely on. This is already happening with rare earth minerals and other critical resources like tungsten.

Only way put of this would be a long time strategic investment into local manufacturing capacities, but it will cost a lot and take a lot of time. And China will dump the prices until those companies go out of business again and then we are back at the start. Happened with solar, is happening with batteries, I wonder what will be next…

Somehow, statistics rarely reflect the massive trade surplus the U.S. enjoys in digital services. Link The country deliberately shifted its focus away from manufacturing, outsourcing production globally. With the freed-up capacity, it built a digital empire that generates billions of dollars annually.

The catch? This digital surplus flows almost exclusively into the pockets of a few corporate leaders. Meanwhile, the majority of people are left with shrinking incomes from former manufacturing jobs, jobs that once distributed wealth more evenly across small businesses and the workforce.

At least the French are fighting back. Hope they are successful.
