I’m paying €10,50 / month for unlimited calling / 500 texts / 18 GB of data. Thats is with Simpel in the Netherlands.

Texting is not relevant here since everyone uses WhatsApp (and more recently Signal), and I’ve never actually used more then 18GB of data in a month.

The article does say that it was the local council that wanted to prevent them from moving there.

I’m not saying there definitely is a discriminatory motive… I do not know how the people of Switzerland look at the Romani people.
But given the way Roma are treated in much of Europe, and Switzerland’s reputation for being somewhat conservative, I am not discounting the possibility that they are being discriminated against here.

The equivalent in the US would be if a couple of families of black people wanted to move to a predominantly white town in the south, and the county would step in claiming there are no more homes available.

“Travelers” does generally refer to the Romani and Sinti people who live a nomadic lifestyle.

The French version of the article uses the phrase “les gens du voyage”, which according to the French Wikipedia page is often used to refer to the “Roma of France (including the Sinti and the Gitanos)”.

So I think it’s fairly safe to assume that that is what they mean with “travelers” in this article.

I think that finally got fixed several years ago. I do remember this exact problem though…

By default both the Dutch and US International layouts would be enabled if you set up the computer to the Dutch region. And you could switch between them (accidentally) by pressing some key combination. It was highly annoying…

AZERTY is not really about being similar to QWERTY. It’s the French standard keyboard layout.
Similarly QWERTZ is the German standard keyboard layout.

Most (European?) countries use some variation of QWERTY with the symbols and special characters moved around to fit their respective languages better. Over here in the Netherlands we are a bit of an outlier in the sense that we use the US layout of QWERTY, but with additional modifier keys to make special characters available (It’s called US International)

There is also niche layouts like DVORAK (optimized layout for English) and BÉPO (optimized layout for French).

What is the reason you switched to AZERTY, if I may ask? I’m quite curious.

You’re posting to the wrong community.
May I suggest !asklemmy@lemmy.world

Honestly… Im against the death penalty, but if you decide to go that way as a country just be honest with yourself and allow death by firing squad.

It’s absolutely infuriating and flat-out an insult that Ukraine and Europe would not be allowed a seat at the negotiation table.

Ukraine not being allowed to decide about their own fate is ridiculous at best.
And Europe was just as much a partner in aiding Ukraine as America was, if not more.

All I can say is that this whole thing reminds me a lot of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact

I suspect it’s one of those topics he likes to drum up if he needs to distract from something else.
(My suspicion is that this other topic is the walking back on campaign promises on immigration with the H1B visa thing)

That doesn’t mean it’s not still harmful. This stuff does harm relations with America’s European allies, but I suspect that he is not actually planning on doing anything.

An alternative explanation could be that he simply wants to get his hands on a very resource rich area such as Greenland.

I have a YouTube channel as well, and also got notified about this.
The setting is disabled by default, so I don’t have a particularly large problem with it. But that might also be because I’m in the EU.

I was reading an article on that on Tweakers two days ago, and I was quite confused until the last sentence saying that it was not related to the “decentralized chat protocol with a similar name”

In many programs the alt key will access the toolbar, be it hidden or unhidden.
At least that seems to be the convention in Windows. I’m not sure what the convention would be on Linux.

In the Dutch parliamentary system we do have a two-house structure (i.e. we have a Parliament and a Senate), while also having proportional representation.

• There is a national election every four years that determines the make-up of the national parliament. The result directly proportionally determines the seat division (150 seats total).

• There is also a provincial election every four years. This directly proportionally determines the seat division of the respective provincial houses.
  But it also indirectly determines the make-up of the Senate. The provincial houses hold their own election and vote for the seat division of the Senate (75 seats total for 12 provinces).

It is traditionally seen that Parliament proposes, argues and passes legislation, while the Senate checks the passed legislation for constitutionality before giving it their sign of approval.
Another view is that Parliament is the direct representation of the people, while the Senate is the national representation of the provincial houses.

I think it is worth keeping in mind that an electoral system doesn’t have to be exactly like the theoretically pure version. You can mix and match elements to something that would suit your situation best (for instance in terms of achievability)

I’m no political analyst… and I do fear the possibility of a CDU + AfD coalition being possible… But from what I’ve seen over the past few days the CDU and SPD seem to be pre-sorting for a CDU + SPD coalition, which is also possible if the polls are to be believed.

I wouldn’t quite lose hope yet.

Edit: I’m still highly annoyed though that Germany let the government collapse now, right as Europe needs to get its act together and make preparations for another Trump term.

Americans… maybe… at least those stupid enough to vote for this guy again.
I feel bad for the Americans who knew what Trump stood for and voted Harris to at least prevent that.

The rest of the world doesn’t deserve this though… And Trump will still affect them and their lives in many ways.

It shouldn’t even be that complex…

I might be mistaken, but ultimately a password manager is basically nothing more than a database of passwords in an encrypted zip file, right? That could entirely be self-hosted with off the shelf open source applications stringed together.
All you’d need is a nice UI stringing it all together.

Edit: I’m not sure why people are downvoting me. Is that not what a password manager essentially is?

… and the people involved were arrested

The Houthis are funded by Iran, get their weapons provided by Iran, and Iran provides them with targeting information.
You’d really have to warp the definition of proxy in order not to consider them a proxy to Iran (even if they are a bit of an unpredictable factor)

Looks like a low effort troll to me.
Don’t take the bait

I’m no legal expert, and I have no familiarity with Unity’s licensing terms. So I didn’t want to outright call what they are doing illegal.
For all I know they did technically have a clause in their licensing agreement that allows them to do this. But that wouldn’t make it any less of a scum move imo.

It’ll be interesting to see what the lawyers will make of this.
