The U.S. workers have forgotten how to go on strike. The capitalists are just laughing about all those online petitions, social media campaigns and demonstrations. Only big strikes can change things in our society. Your parents and grandparents still knew this.

There are about a 1000 billionaires in the US. And there are about 350 million non-billionaires in the US. Now look at the percentage of news coverage these 1000 people get compared to the issues of the 350 million. And then you know how these thousand people control the rest.

Most bosses manage by running around telling everyone to do it faster or cheaper. Never have I heard a manager telling someone to do it better or more correctly.

"A senior Federal Police official said Bolsonaro had not exited the country via any regular migration point."

Try to find a good monitor with a good integrated webcam, speaker, microphone and usb-hub. You simply won't find any except Apple Studio Displays which start at $1500.
Unfortunately there is „No preview available“ for most fonts.
Nuclear power plants are only useful if you want nuclear bombs. For power production they have been much to expensive for decades.
Why is GCP even worse?
Wow, from the developer of Amiga E: https://strlen.com/amiga-e/

This was my first programming language. Good old times!

This is not the first reason. Since the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CLOUD_Act in 2018 the Europeans should have replaced all American cloud products, because they violate the GDPR. Nothing happened.

There is a reason why we have solar power, but not nuclear power for the balcony.

Solar panels in space are the most efficient source of energy. Unfortunately transferring the harvested energy to earth an unsolved problem.

As a swiss company they have to obey swiss laws. So in that respect swiss laws are enforced onto all users of Quad9.

International companies always have to make a decision: Follow the local rules or leave the market. Unfortunately most companies follow local rules, even if that means obeying the rules of a dictatorship, because money doesn‘t stink. Exceptions are very rare.
