Because for these investors the opportunity cost of this is higher than other startups.

I agree with you; there should be more diversity in investments in EU startups, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ not my money.

net01 — Tue, 06 Jan 2026 21:51:30 +0000

i remember reading about "lumina probiotic" Has anyone done research on it since, reviewing thier claims ?

their claims on their website:

replaces S. mutans, alters oral microbiome, reduces acid via ethanol metabolism, produces antibiotic, freshens breath, brightens teeth, lasts decades. etc

i am very skeptical of it

Arch is nice if you want to tinker. Based on your reasoning, I wouldn't recommend it. But if you still want arch-based, I would recommend EndevourOS, and for even a simpler/better distro, Bazzite.

Peter Thiel was very close with Epstein : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45043807

so it's unsurprising that the UK, which wants to befriend Pres Trump, would also like to befriend the VP (who owes his entire career to Thiel).

New comment by net01 in "Apple revokes EU distribution rights for an app on the Alt Store"

net01 — Thu, 28 Aug 2025 20:14:00 +0000

UPDATE

Update August 28: A day after publication, Apple informed us that the distribution rights (notarization) were revoked due to sanctions-related rules.

“Notarization for this app was removed in order to comply with government sanctions-related rules in various jurisdictions. We have communicated this to the developer,” Apple told us.

No further context was provided, but the developer purportedly had a Russian developer account, despite living in Malta.

i use it to share pictures from my NAS to my phone. And play video from it. Also, in Belgium, it's completely legal to rip and share ( within family circle ) copyrighted content.

Consider donating to the developer ( he is a solo dev )

https://github.com/XITRIX/iTorrent#donate-for-donuts

The developer had his app distribution rights removed in mid-July. i am the one who reached out to TorrentFreak; they were the first to respond. (The Verge /MacRumors/9to5Mac ignored me)

(i had no input in the article.)
