This is another opportunity for the EU to reign in and create a proper definition of ownership so that this does not pass.

Of course, it would be interesting to hear the freemarketeering on this site and how people should "vote with their wallet" and sites/movements such as $freeplaystation.whatever sprouting pseudopolemic nonsense.

Hi Peter, thank you for your time

I have been living and working Estonia for around 2 years now, I have mostly US clients for a saas that I direct, this saas brings me around steady income of around 200k euros per year, at least 130k come from east coast companies.

Can I apply for the E1 treaty trader visa? Even if my company is not incorporated in Greece?

New comment by kakadu in "We haven't seen the worst of what gambling and prediction markets will do"

> There is a class of prediction markets that are useful

No there is not.

That's as damaging a statement as "soft" drugs or "problem" gambling.

Statements usured by corporate PR to set up a fake middle ground and delegate responsibility to the consumer for any "bad" behaviour.

I am not convinced that Israel is such an important ally.

I suspect a fourth column.

I cannot believe we do not have a good arm Linux laptop with a comparable price and battery to a MacBook at this stage.

I am forced to use this abomination of an operating system just because.

Come on Lenovo, make it happen

I ve been a happy user of debian stable for 15 years now, if I could get a Linux laptop with a comparable battery life to apple's then it's done for me.

I think linux people tend to forget how important battery life is on a laptop

New comment by kakadu in "Apache ECharts 6"

kakadu — Tue, 05 Aug 2025 11:34:39 +0000

While I like echarts I have found it somewhat challenging to extend their functionality.

I wanted a Gantt chart and while I did achieve what I wanted it wasn't without having to delve into the their source and putting log statements everywhere.

I happen to be using ant design and I've had the same issues there.

Its a bit all over the place and the translations are not great, but i will stick with it.

Would something like this happen if the hostile educational environment was against - say - black people? Or any other ethnic group?
