It is important to note that these are western European workers. For them the Chinese competition is largely irrellevant as their companies have been moving production to eastern Europe for a while now and they realize that their problem is structural.

All what the trariffs on Chinese EVs will do is conserve the status quo for European car makers a few more years, which doesn't help western European workers at all.

Social democrats do not code as “right” anywhere in the world.

Except in Portugal, where the conservative party calls themselves Social Democrats.

Any pc with two network ports and Ipfire will do. Easy to set up and configure.

Ne, dann wäre ja weniger indirektes Schmiergeld für die albanischen Politiker über...

Have the personified bad bank take over its smaller cousin? What could possibly go wrong? /s

Wie Merz auch (68), schon etwas älter (2020) der Artikel...

At some point I might also hook up the battery charge meter to a public site for slrpnk.net. Currently we are at 88% and charging, but this website does have a failover to grid-power if the battery charge drops below 20%.

Why not join efforts then?

I think Manyfold could be adapted to be a bit more generic for things like game art or render movie assets sharing as well.

You can use the Photon frontend instead.

Mainly 3D printing files, but I guess it would work for other type of files as well.

That's only for the first row. But for all lower is ranked higher. I was also confused at first.

Huh, first time I hear that women really don't like the Harry Potter movies. Is it because they think the books are better, and most men have not read the books?

Edit: ahh, wait. The rank is reverse order, so women like Harry Potter, but men to not. At least the rest of the ranking makes more sense like that.

Even more problematic are entire communities made out of astroturfing bots. This kind of stuff is increasingly easy and cheap to set up and will fool most people looking for advise online.

Thanks for the update, and welcome to Lemmy!

While I agree that a stimulus package in selected industries would be good, overall GDP growth is a very poor way of measuring economic health. Even the OP article admits as much by showing that it is only a very selected number of "energy intensive industries" that is pulling the otherwise not badly performing economy to near zero growth levels.

Edit: not sure why you deleted your comment...

The EU is failing because some of the individual member states are too strong. The same is true on global level where some overly large states or similar constructs form competing power blocks.

Increasing regional integration is basically a local optimum that makes global integration impossible.

I don't really care what they think of it 🤷‍♂️

It is just campism. It doesn't matter what these countries actually do, as long as they are against "the west".

This article focusses on utility companies plans, but the real interesting part will be how solar power at individual level will pan out.

Similar to how mobile telecomunication has leapfrogged traditional cable based supply in many of these countries, it is likely that we might see people jumping from no electricity to off-grid solar installations without ever bothering to expand the grid.

This will be an interesting case study to see how viable such kind of developments are on a larger scale.

Hard to take the Economist serious when the economy is doing just as good as last year, or the year before.

Yes, there is a long overdue structural adjustment ongoing that is hampering additional growth, but all in all the German economy is doing well. A +/- 0.x % growth is not going from "bad to worse" at all.
