Thank you for the quick response. All my questions answered.

Not all your money. Most people have more than 1 bank account. So this won’t change that. Also SWIFT transfers also include international transfers, and most people aren’t doing that outside of rare instances. Digital currency is only within EU regions, so this solution won’t affect non EU transfers. As OP said the goal is to reduce commissions to Visa and Mastercard.

It won’t kill commercial banks because there’ll be limitations. Biggest is you won’t be able to take a loan from the central bank, which is the largest slice of the pie for any bank making money. They can also put other limitations, such as no non-EU transactions, or having a max limit per month.

Why should a politician convicted of stealing money ever be allowed in a position of power? Why not just ban her for life?

Yeah I’m a bit tired of bought out politicians dismantling a country from the inside.

Probably the biggest loophole that HAS to be fixed!

Eh, it’s over a billion people. Most people (who don’t live in cities) don’t know about Trump other than the fact that he’s the president. Even those who have internet aren’t going to see US news cuz their feeds aren’t curated for that.

Exactly, even minus the Nazi thing they are terrible products. And they’ve been terrible for a while. The only good things were the first mover advantage, battery tech and supercharger network.

Meanwhile the competitors like BYD have caught up.

Trump’s America has long crossed the Rubicon. He will continue to only double down, as any dictator does.

America and the world (except for the Neo Axis powers) will continue to suffer. Unless by some miracle democracy still functions in US.

We don’t need to start with big products such as phones. Start small, such as moving off to a new email for personal use. Keep the gmail one for junk use (i.e: when signing up to services). Ask your closest friends to switch to Signal instead of WhatsApp. Use Firefox instead of Chrome (you can import all your browser settings). This process will take years and shouldn’t simply be a knee jerk reaction).

The Donald has Hitler levels of luck in that regard.

They need to get off Twitter. Go back to using the Press for official statements of high importance. And use Mastodon (Bluesky can interact with Mastodon instances in the future iirc) for rest. As a longer term project, move govt systems to Linux.

Number of reasons. Works well with Apple products, long battery life, way more powerful for most normal (sometimes applies to even some basic UI devs and small project video editing). It’s got great hardware. However Apple is a nightmare capitalist company that’ll try to dime and nickel you for every possible thing.

Likely he took implants but never really worked for them. Just a conjecture.

Canada is still well protected, unlike rest of Europe which has a land border with Russia. Post Ukraine, it’s the turn of ex Soviet states (i.e. Lithuania, etc) to start googling where to move?

That’s never changing. You can connect a separate storage drive but it’ll be slower than the built in one.

I’ll be downvoted to hell for saying this. But in this event I think it’s better for you to upgrade to Win 11 or maybe even move to MacOS (mac mini is pretty cheap), though I don’t know if you’ll find your replacement apps.

I use Win for work (no choice there) and Ubuntu at home (just browse the net, and only browser applications).

One of my Indian friends said she felt invisible when visiting France. Apparently being stared at just for being a woman is common in India.

Address some of the issues. Like not having multiple similar posts, on different instances with similar named communities.

Also to reach critical mass, we need to keep posting. Addition of new apps such as Boost will also increase popularity

Yes!!! Complete change in general usage of the word.

People in EU use mostly WhatsApp and Messenger, cuz most people don’t have iPhones
