Isn’t this because there’s already moviesandtv which seems to be better suited to the current community size?

We do have “our own” Amazon since 2021. Before that Amazon.de was available in Polish and had multiple distribution centers in Poland so it wasn’t that much of a change other than having access to vanilla Prime (we had Prime Video before).

IIRC the issue is that NATO doesn’t necessarily want Austria since their institutions are heavily infiltrated by Russian spies?

I think this is fine because while people should be allowed to do light drugs I don’t mind making them jump through some hoops so that it’s not that convenient. Alcohol and nicotine are definitely way too accessible and it affects perception of this law.

I use cannabis in Poland where we accidentally legalized it by allowing doctors to prescribe it online which combined with corruption means anyone who wants it can get it but it’s not so obvious unless you’re interested. It’s a surprisingly OK compromise.

You might have had a point if the guy released this to the public and not to a direct competitor.

Pretty cool. I keep saying that this is a win for open standards and Meta probably does this to appease EU regulators. It’s no surprise that this happens as Threads launches In Europe.

Disclaimer, some of the things he’s promising (access to abortion, civil unions for same sex couples) are not supported by considerable part of his coalition. Want to be proven wrong but PiS got elected on delivering impossible, Tusk is known for the exact opposite.

Why would Apple have to reverse engineer their own protocol?

Guy wanted to vent about smart thermostats, explicitly said he doesn’t need advice and got bajillion responses with advice, mostly from FOSS folks who couldn’t contain themselves. I’d be annoyed too.

It has some benefits to both consumers and automotive industry.

I live in an apartament block, as do many people. Can’t really charge when parking by the street. If I could go into subscription like service with a charging network where I don’t own the battery outright and just swap it at gas stations that solves a lot of issues. It’s faster than charging and I don’t have to own a battery outright which lowers initial investment. That battery doesn’t even have to have that great of a range either. Car company / charging network or whoever does the battery leasing benefits long term because they can charge more overall.
