Didn’t they just cut the funding?

Addy.io, proton simplelogin, … give you one time email addresses

there’s a chance they’d survive.

They’ll probably shoot themselves in the back five times while falling from the ground floor window.

Valid question. You can ask this about many things:

Would the Internet as we know it exist if Facebook, AOL, and Yahoo had united to create a walled garden?

Would Macbooks as we know them today exist without an open source ecosystem? Would the company Appke exist? Would there be an iPhone?

Would the web exist without Linux? Both developed at the same time, 1991 till now, and most stuff runs on Linux servers.

Would the people who build all the hardware and software even be interested in computers had they not played with (build) computers in the 90ies? What if we had given them an iPad aith CandyCrush that just works; and not BIOS codes, cables, extension cards and drivers?

Dell, the company known for their onsite sales.

Sure, if they had a website or something, they could work remotely, but someone needs to be present when customers flock in.

Will do next time.

Added the main link. May be paywalled for most people.

Yes, but they are all up-side down.

Every time, I’m ready to jump the Ubuntu ship and go back to Debian or Mint, they announce something interesting; something I’d at least want to try.

Yes, price is the point. Of course, a Mercedes is going to nicer than a Toyota, but is it worth its price tag?

Metric units aka SI units aka sanity

I miss the times when bodies found off the Sicilian coast meant Mafia.

The decomposed bodies were discovered near the island of Sicily, which lies off the southwestern tip of the Italian mainland.

The bodies were taken to another Italian island, Lampedusa, about 350 kilometers (217 miles) away.

The bodies are believed to have been on board a boat that sunk earlier this week in Libyan waters, Italian media said, citing officials.

So, even if they are dead we push them back to Lampedusa. And claim that they sunk in Syrian waters. Because nothing bad can happen in Europe.

Yes. And depending on the the VM and the app, you can get a ‘seamless mode’ that looks like a native Linux app.

VMs work most of the time quite well if you have enough RAM. (The VM always works, some applications will detect unusual hardware and may complain, e.g. unsupported GPU. Any sane software should run, though (e.g. with gpu acceleration).)

I don’t think the German car industry has ever competed solely on price. Outside Germany and some European countries, German brands are luxury items. In Germany, they oscillate between bread-and-butter and above-average.

The problem is value-for-money and market fit. German car makers (used to) have the best margins in the most expensive products, luxury items sold outside of Germany. Those cars aren’t built to last (like a Japanese car) nor are they fancy (like the first Tesla model).

German ICE cars are (and have always been) less reliable than Japenese cars. And more expensive. And come with very basic interior design / electronics unless you go for the luxury option.

AND NO EVs.

Who buys German cars? Show me one person who wants a VW.

Sure?
