There's not just one war on, there are many. Should Kagi exclude all the results from American companies because of the actions of the US government in Iran?

Then one should ask for Kagi to move to a country that doesn't use taxes to invade other countries, and stop supporting them, instead of just asking to "stop paying money to Russia". Because fixing two wrongs is better than just fixing one, right? And I want to believe that living in the US doesn't make you agree with your country's foreign policy (which doesn't seem to change significantly even with your democratic ability to try to alter it) specially if you're worried about Russia.

What's the point in stopping paying money to Russia if Kagi is incorporated in Palo Alto, so it's paying money and will continue to do so to a country causing no less troubles than Russia?

Who told you Ukraine had the ability to launch the nuclear weapons from the Soviet Union that happened to be deployed to its territory?

Were they theirs? Germany has nukes too but they're not theirs, they're from the US. Germany can't say "fuck off" to the ~50k Americans stationed in the country, leave NATO and get to keep the nukes.

Do you know if it's possible to cap expenses on Scaleway so you don't end up with unexpected charges (due to bandwidth or whatever)? I mean, having your services stopped until the next cycle begins or you decide to pay more. I knew this wasn't possible for Hetzner, for example, but I'm not sure about this one.

The EU is only making these statements until the US has a new president (with the same ideas of Trump, as has always been the case, but saying nice things in public).

Also, in the mean time, their announced "sovereign solutions for the European citizen" look ridiculous: now you'll be free from Visa and Mastercard for your payments but at the same time you'll need a phone approved by either Apple or Google.

I'd also be a classical liberal if I were getting 1 out of 4 euros of the EU taxpayers.

I thought N100 equivalent SBC computers like Radxa's, etc., were largely out of stock for quite some time now.

Well, that depends on which reality you're referring to, of course.

Not sure if you're talking about Iran or the US now

Are they still counting now? Because they may be mistaking them for the victims of the US and Israel, which are killing civilians by the thousands too.

How can I know? I don't trust either side.

But talking about 20k killed, next week 30k, now 45k... doesn't seem serious at all.

It looks like this figure is growing by the hour. By the time I finished writing this comment they may already be 100.000

Windows itself is a bunch of hacks, too, so if you think Wine is the same, then it surely looks like a very accurate emulation.

Is it that different? Being Australia in alliances like "Five Eyes" I don't think you can keep your stuff away from the US at least when using Fastmail.

If you want both US & EU away from your data, I suppose you will have to consider things like Yandex Mail, which comes with its own set of problems too, of course :)

First, I tried mailbox.org, which I can generally recommend without reservation. Unfortunately, you can’t send emails from any address on your own domain without a workaround, so the search continued.

I had read about other problems about this mailbox.org service, but not this one. Anyone knows what's the catch when trying to send emails from your own domain?

Same here. I remember some kernel module or video driver named tdfx, and then, struggling to make X11 work with this DRI (Direct rendering infrastructure or something like that) setting on. It was very rewarding to see it enabled on glxinfo's output after days compiling half of your system and trying to figure out what was wrong, specially when the access to the internet was limited, and then being able to launch GLtron with hardware acceleration. Also remember playing Quake 3 and America's Army games around that time.

Fun times, now everything is straightforward on Linux but I somehow miss that era when you actually had to do everything by yourself.

True. And what will happen when another company wants their 10k satellites on orbit too? And companies from another countries, as well.

Trump is temporary and best to just quietly wait it out, unless you want to smell like shit.

Everything is temporary in this life. All the harm that Trump could do, too. So I don't think we the Spaniards should get involved in this "Epstein Coalition" illegal wars. Remember, all Trump's threats are temporary, as you said.

In my country there are regulations in effect too that mandate the use of MFA; however, using an application is not the only way to implement MFA, as I said, in Spain banks can use SMS, coordinate cards, etc., and they are all valid MFA methods. I think what these laws are missing is the obligation for the service (the bank in this case) to provide a MFA device if the user doesn't have one.

Complain. Mine wanted that, but after complaining they offered me SMS. If not, I'd have closed my account there. At least here in Spain there are plenty of banks that don't force you to use apps. I also leave bad ratings for banking apps from time to time, and bad comments on X.

They will say: hey, now you're free from Visa and Mastercard for your payments! (only to be forced into the Google/Apple duopoly, which is far worse).

So, leaving aside the discussion about whether someone wants to use their bank's application or not, what's the bank response if their application just doesn't work in your phone? That you must purchase a new phone or be locked out of using your account?

I hope, now that the debate about our excessive reliance on American tech is on the table, that we also put limits on those essential services, like banks, imposing the usage of products from only two companies (Google or Apple) in order to operate. I think that goes at least against the spirit of the European Union.

Not just reviews, but also pictures and even the opening hours. Also it looks like the map will have less detail (roads, etc.)

Can you access their websites without the need to confirm 'who you are' with their app?

Yes, none of them required me to use the app a single time. In fact, for all the banks I work with, I always identified myself at a local office when opening the account for the first time, the last one less than a year ago. And all of them allow me to operate in the website without the need of an app (actually I could never use any banking app as my telephone lacks Google Play).

And in practise that means a banking app, because most people do not want a separate token they have to buy and can lose.

It can be SMS. As said in another comment, the main banks in Spain offer this authentication method while being PSD2 compliant. Some also offer a card with coordinates. So it's not mandatory in any way to use a banking app.

I don't know which banks you are using but in my case I work with five Spanish banks and I can do everything from their websites, no app required. Yes, they try to push you to use their app, some tried to activate mobile 2fa for me when this psd2 thing became mandatory but I always told them their app doesn't work on my phone (which is true) and they offered me alternate methods like sms.

Thanks for the info. By the way, is there any difference, apart from not having to rely on foreign parties, for the buyer between selecting CB or Visa/MC for his payment? And I suppose it's the shop owner who decides the default when the buyer doesn't choose.
