I'm on your side, 95% of the way but I don't think it's fair to the victims in Japan, Vietnam, Palestine etc to be part of a ranking. Just like there are bigger and smaller infinities, there are larger and smaller amounts of casualties. But in comparison to large and small infinities, those numbers do not show the hurt these people went true. In Japan for example, some died in an instant where others went through decades of physical decay because of the damage radiation did. How can that be put in numbers and compared to what happened to people in Vietnam for example.
You can leave out a comparison with a 'sure...you must have forgotten Hiroshima, Nagasaki and the 1.4 million civilian casualties in South Vietnam because of the war, including 415,000 deaths' for example.
I don't know any billionaires myself, but judging from what I read and see online that is not what people do when they literally become a billionaire.
Always wondered why Elon gets so horny for the letter x, SpaceX and xAI make more sense now.
I never heard of them but browsed their website just now out of curiosity. They list an adress in the US and one in Bulgaria on https://mobisystems.com/en-us/contacts. My guess would be that it is developed in Bulgaria (so it supports people working in the EU), but sold from the US (so it they may pay their taxes there).
I believe they are kind of to LibreOffice as what Ubuntu is to Linux, they're headquartered in the UK and I'm a happy user.

Fashion these days huh
Screws are not supposed to stick out of the bone either right?
The contents show how this is an actual problem in almost every European country:
Collapsing sewage drains in Brussels’ landmark Palais de Justice, judicial clerks striking in Lisbon, years-long waits for hearings in London. After years of underfunding in justice systems across Europe, the continent is grappling with a crisis in its courts.
Over the past decade, as Europe has faced stuttering economies, a wrenching pandemic and the impact of war, justice has routinely been targeted for spending cuts by governments that have prioritised other parts of the public realm such as healthcare and education.
The result has been crumbling courts and shortages of publicly funded lawyers, creating record case backlogs and eroding trust in the justice system in a host of countries. The problems have become so severe that leading lawyers warn they threaten to undermine the rule of law, which underpins European institutions and cross-border trade.
Europe’s slow-burning malaise has taken a different form from the sudden, convulsive crisis Donald Trump has brought upon the US legal establishment, pushing executive power to the point of outright defiance of the judiciary.
No totally fair, it's not your fault she had those expectations as well. Any parent should be supportive of their child and I agree you are not the one she should bother with those feelings. Wish you the best.
I'm confused, it lists collabora as not free? Or should the distinction be 'local desktop install' 'online service/mobile app'?
But I think that's not a weird thing for a parent (not saying it is normal to not want to speak to your child because they are different then you expected, or to dislike them for being who they were born to be).
I haven't seen the EU inspired by Hungary's policies, so let's hope that will be the same here as well.
To be fair, especially to parents I get the part of grieving of someone you love not being there anymore. But if that person isn't really dead but just a different (better) version of the person, I don't really get how you can believe you are greaving while you're simultaneously not keeping that person close to you? I mean, that will only make the loss worse, right?
I think she already knew, why else would she mention the people born with the intent of holding eggs (whatever that means).
What shouldn't be confusing?
In this particular case the available words are easily found in a dictionary, and if it comes to law you can easily write about cisgender women and transgender women.
The problem is people that want the word women to not include trans women. They want to say trans women are not women, while also saying trans men aren't women, and that's why to them it is gets confusing talking about what gender is. Because once they realise they are basically saying trans people are not people, they subconsciously know they are morally wrong. And it's confusing when you think you are doing something that is morally right, while knowing (maybe only subconsciously) you're not.
No true, luckily we have much stronger forces controlling the government. Also because they don't have a majority.
Well, might be because eastern-european countries have much more discriminating laws on gays compared to north- and western European countries. So even though it's getting worse, the rethoric isn't anything new. Hungary has a law forbidding queer 'propaganda' that is said to be an almost exact copy of the russian law. Facial recognition on the other hand is very new, and as far as I know hasn't been used on any other protest/celebration/public gathering anywhere in Europe so perhaps a part of the noise isn't from people particularly concerned about LGBTQ+ rights, but about their civil liberties and see this as a first step of using digital tech as a mechanism of suppression. But I don't really know tbh.
