  • I just call them type II diabetes

  • Another 122.88TB SSD just launched and this one comes from an obscure Chinese startup you've probably never encountered

  • I don't think that's true at all? From my experience and research, China seems quite proud of it's diversity. The five colors of the original ROC flag symbolized this diversity, though a bit simplified, as the "Five races under one union" (han, manchu, mongols, muslims, tibetans). This term is one of the "Three Principles of the People" formulated by Sun Yat-sen (who founded KMT and is venerated in both mainland China and Taiwan). It's foundational to both Chinese republics.

    (but if we're talking about the language, then "Chinese" is mandarin Chinese unless otherwise specified)

  • Putin launches largest military draft in years despite ceasefire talks

  • And also RIP Ukrainian demographics. It's great to see Russia hurting, and they deserve their scars, but it's gonna take a very long time for Ukraine to recover too. They'll have EU support, but EU's economy probably isn't gonna be in great shape either. And you can't buy babies.

  • Denmark, Netherlands react to Trump's DEI ultimatum

    Jump

  • Ericsson did it, so can't be that much against EU law. Though maybe they can sneak around it by being huge and multinational?

  • Thunderbird plans on expanding offerings with additional services

    Jump

  • I feel this might stop enshittification. Look at Firefox, enshittification stems from a need to turn a profit and how difficult it is to do that in a decent way for a web browser. A privacy-centered email service on the other hand is an attractive product, and probably enough(?) to keep the email client running.

    Unfortunate though that Mozilla is a US company.

  • Of the companies mentioned, only DapuStor is from mainland China from what I can tell?

  • Poland pushes for EU to scrap daylight saving time

    Jump

  • 6 days a year is quite a bit, but also the frequency at which it comes up in conversation is not really relevant to whether people want/don't want?

  • Le boycott: French customers shun McDonald’s, Coca Cola and Tesla to protest against Trump

    Jump

  • Of course they're free to not join, but I struggle to understand how McDonalds can be the cheapest alternative? I don't think it is at all here in Sweden at least, not even close.

  • Chinese SSD Manufacturer UNIS Flash Memory Unveils World’s Fastest PCIe Gen5 SSDs, Featuring Speeds of Up To 14,900 MB/s

  • Not necessarily if you run workloads within the datacenter? Surely that's not that rare, even if they're mostly for hosting web services.

  • Poland pushes for EU to scrap daylight saving time

    Jump

  • Personally I really don't care which, though it would be nice if there was some kind of consistency throughout Europe and not having e.g. France and Germany in one time zone but Netherlands or Belgium in another.

    If I was dictator I think it seems reasonable to draw lines west and east of Germany, maybe Poland can be included in Germany's zone too.

    A wild idea would be to have the lines cross through countries so they're actually "correct" and the EU is seen as a whole entity rather than just individual countries, but that's probably quite impossible/impractical. Beautiful in a way though, surely a man can dream.

  • Switzerland because it blows every other European country out of the water in terms of salaries. One consideration would be if you're planning to have a kid they have shitty parental leave in comparisson.

  • While most people would likely move to Digg v2.0 (I am just being realistic)

    Are people actually going? The only thing I've heard about it (the AI-fueled reboot) is that it was planned.

  • "I'm socially liberal but fiscally conservative" - What do you think when you hear that?

  • I sure hope so, but I have little faith tbh. Cloud providers have done a great job selling serverless solutions that are tightly coupled with the provider. Wise companies have limited themselves to the basics - load balancers, servers, maybe some serverless container solution or kubernetes. The latter can move pretty much anywhere with some, but not a whole lot, of effort. The former, have fun rediscovering the quirks of your new provider's equivalent of lambdas or whatever (or at worst, rewriting the whole thing).

  • In Sweden we've been able to do this for years? Any site that has Klarna as a payment option you can choose to add it to your monthly bill or the "pay it later" (I think two weeks) option.
