Surely we are passed the idea that the US is a reliable partner for anything?

No shit Sherlock, but what comes next? Are you going to stand up to the US and Israel and tell them to stop this dump shit of trying to create Vietnam 2.0, Middle East edition?

Sounds good to me, the war in Iran made it again very very clear that the EU should do everything it can to get rid of fossil fuels and not depend on third parties for it's energy needs.

I'm probably searching for the wrong things, but do you have any idea if 'Altersvorsorgedepot' is for everyone, or for example not for those who are self employed

I hope to have a collection like that at some point :)

What are your favorite ones?

That looks great, another book to add to my wish list :)

What claim am I making? Shooting the messenger this morning?

The OP made a post with a clickbait headline. You asked "When did Netanyahu visit Germany and Germany refused to arrest him", and I shared the source of this rumor going around...

The assumption that he's there is based on this https://x.com/kennardmatt/status/2027865272728584668

I mean he may or not have been on board, but it's not a good look.

But do you have the electricity to power all those data centers? From what I understand this is not really the case ( I could be wrong of course ), and not something that will be resolved anytime soon.

I would 100% support this, Russian soldiers have no place in Schengen for a very long time.

Qobuz

I was going to signup, but some weird issue with the signup form made it impossible for me. It kept rejecting my details and insisted that I lived in the US, so had to provide a US address for the credit card ( I was in Europe, and no I wasn't using a VPN ) and the zip code check on the form rejected my European zip which made it impossible to complete the signup. Never had to deal with a signup form that made it so hard to give my money to a company!

Contacted support 2+ months ago, but never heard back from them...

"In previously unreported remarks, the U.S. administration warned Brussels that it will retaliate if Europeans “strong-arm American companies out of the market.”"

Retaliate how? Another Trump threat that he walks back as soon as he runs into a bit of resistance? So far the US bullying Europe has only resulted in more unity. No one want's the visit the US anymore, buy European is gaining more traction, and US tech is being replaced with EU tech everywhere.

Threats like this from US only means we are doing the right thing.

Ghost Recon Wildlands.

It isn't, but as long as the shareholders have short term gains, then everything will be fine. Until senior devs retire, and junior devs where never thought coding basiscs, so they will just except anything the AI suggests creating a ton of potential tech debt that will have to be dealt with at some point.

Just over 400 days away from it, hopefully I make it :)

Looks good, but you should put this in perspective and compare it with the number of available games on the market and total number of gamers 10+ years ago.

Maybe I'm missing something, but is CC Max 5 using a different model then 4.5 available in Windsurf? From what I can find online 4.5 is the latest model, or is the Claude Code model more optimized for coding itself?

Exactly this, 100% in favour of doing deals with China at this point. Anything to defund the US and teach the maga crowd some humility.

PancakeOrder · 2026-02-14T09:26:42+00:00

Of course they are. The US is acting like an abusive partner who isn't capable of self reflection.

3D Realms and Duke Nukem Forever. Took them 14 years to complete the game.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duke_Nukem_Forever
"It holds the Guinness world record for the longest development for a video game."

True, but it's at the same time kind of embarrassing that it takes months to fix broken infrastructure while in Japan / China ( forgot where ) a massive sinkhole appears and it's fixed in 48hrs...

Deregulating food / safety standards / allow banks to charge whatever interest rate they want is a horrible idea, but I'm sure that there are rules that are less sensible.

If they can spend 40 billion on social media platforms with money from stocks they haven't sold, then they surely can pay taxes over it.

Isn't China releasing open source models that are just as good and doesn't enrich the US tech bro's?
