Indeed, and as far as I understand it, even just the US intelligence is key for safe peacekeeping operations. I'd love to see Europe creating independence, but we clearly have to keep the US ar our side for our own security for awhile longer.

I think a major issue in moving away from US big tech is how corporations and governments have created a vicious circle on the reliance on them. They won't move away because they are more polished and feature rich than (European) alternatives, as well as their employees are accustomed to them. Because they keep spending money on big tech, big tech will have the finance to stay ahead and keep on polishing and adding features. They will keep repeating these arguments, while competitors to big tech will never receive enough finance to create a one-for-one alternative. Employees will also not get to use any other software and may only get deeper ties with big tech's 'ecosystems'.

While I believe individuals should move to alternatives, I doubt this will happen without governments investing in open alternatives, and corporations starting to pay for their services. That way alternatives become viable options for the layperson.

Those parking spaces, though... I hope European parking spaces never grow to similar sizes.

Yeah, and personally, I don't feel any wish to go back to skeuomorphism. It is funny to look back to and feel some nostalgia, but I think it would look cheap now if they did it like 15 years ago. Maybe iOS' glassy-ui will create some elements that people like about it, but they luckily did not move back to busy ui element backgrounds.

I do partially agree with his buttons and app-points. I dislike how we are forced to download apps for everything, including the questionable tracking software.

I also don't see the point in the 'glass' blob that floats over menu items. I never/rarely (it makes some sense in the camera app) swipe over menu items, and in my opinion just adds a weird and unnecessary animation (even though it's a bit smoother now).

For en hyggelig melding, Takk! Jeg ble faktisk ferdig for noen uker siden :)

Jeg har raskt blitt veldig norsk på den fronten og sier bare 'hei', 'nei takk' (pose), 'nei takk' (kvittering), og 'hadet bra'!

Jeg vet ikke hvor bra jeg er på skrive, men i dag tar det noe setninger før de fleste finner ut at jeg ikke er norsk. Så tror det skulle gå greit nå på butikken :) jeg måtte også bestå B2 nivå for å kunne studere.

Jeg har lært meg norsk for noe år siden. Da noen skulle bytte til engelsk ignorerte jeg det og fortsatt på norsk. Funket ganske bra :) Det var i Oslo.

(Skal si at mitt morsmål er ikke så langt fra norsk)

The Chinese too know how to make unnecessary large cars, unfortunately.

This is not only on the far-right, but generally on the right spectrum. The People's Party is more interested in businesses than actually caring for the environment we live in. This could be seen by the name of the 'Ministry of Climate and Green Growth'. Apart that generally very little is accomplished by this government, I can't really remember Hermans having any meaningful proposals or implementations, except for scraping those things that were in-place or halting discussions with large corporations on their efforts on sustainability.

The Farmer's Party has a complete neglect for any climate issues, and, my sense, is that New Social Contract cares less about climate than the People's Party. And all three of them seem to be willing to give in to Wilders on this front.

The cynic in me directly thought of how this could be a way for Apple to force the Mac App Store on these machines. Granted it is based on a fear, not grounded on something.

If the government's intent is to cut local emissions this could make sense.

Will the cost of insurance and tax not outweigh the cost of a (monthly) ticket? And (especially older) cars must pass EU controls regularly for them to be road legal.

Considering this is a test to see if car users (they must park in a P&R) would use PT if it were free, it might just be a lead up for proposing it to be free for all.

To add, while the car users are not the ones that need this the most, a reduction in cars (even at the cost of ticket sales) could have positive effects for inhabitants of Aarhus on health and maybe even economic (some research shows that areas with fewer cars see local business thrive).

I agree that both their objective lies in changing regulation. Doesn't mean that they are the same, however. Which OP stated. And I wouldn't say it is the only difference, rather the difference between the two.

If there is proof that they have given millions of dollars, this will go to court, as that is illegal. Lobbying is not bribing as I pointed out in my initial reply. Lots of different groups and organisations use lobbying to make their concerns heard. Just because this is a case we don't like, does not mean lobbying has no purpose.

They are literally not the same. Bribing is when you try to give something in exchange for voting/law making etc. Lobbying is convincing why prioritising is important. These can be selfish reasons, like in this case. However, lobbying may also be done for noble causes by a wide range of NGOs. Prohibiting lobbying is limiting the opportunity for all kinds of actors to argue their cause.

Where in the Netherlands does one need a truck? Especially those American ones. Strandwacht and boswacht are the ones I could think of (and than the more practical European style pickups).

Same for SUVs.

Daar hoeven ze geen statement over te maken denk ik hahah

Eens, helaas is dat al bijna twee decennia zo.
