I know think you’re trolling, but…
I prefer the old one, but it’s really not much of a difference. New one looks a bit cheaper, like something you’d see on piracy sites or something.
Also just realised Jellyfin basically has the old YouTube design. Don’t know if YT was first with it, but if so it was pretty influential, think it’s quite common in many players.
I’m not 100% sure about the economics of tariffs, but my interpretation is that the US are shooting themselves in the foot more than us. And if we can project an image of a stable level-headed trading partner and create good trade relations with India, China and countries in Africa and South America that might be more valuable in the long run than our US trade relations.
Basically, if US wants to hamper their own economy, let them. Meanwhile we’ll be Open For Business™ and picking up all the good stuff they left behind.
While I do think the EU is lacking the balls to do this, there’s also some strategy to consider here. It certainly would be lovely if the EU would be more defensive, but also more damaging to the EU economy (at least in the short run, probably for a long time).
China is being painted as enemy number one, and there’s long-standing beef between the countries. Trump lost or is losing the trade war, and needs to make himself not look weak. Meanwhile China wants to project strength internally. Whatever is happening between closed doors, China has everything to gain from humiliating the US at this point. Trumps incompetence is already evident, they just need to fuel the flames.
With the EU, the situation is wildly different. EU doesn’t really want to project power, they want to project exactly as much power as is necessary not to seem weak but no more. It wants to show that it’s a level-headed free trade partner ready to take the lead in the free world, the fairest and most stable market in the world.
…that’s my take on it anyway. USE! USE! USE! USE! 🇪🇺
So based. Any chance that they’ll win?
What does unofficial recognition mean? Can a country do anything unofficially?
For me last phone I thought: “I’ve never dropped a phone so the glass or screen protector broke, and I don’t care about scratches. Why bother? It’s much nicer and thinner without.”
Guess what, I dropped it on some gravel week #2 of having it. It still lived a long life, but with a very ugly crack in the bottom right corner. Lesson learned.
Plastic screen protectors suck though, you’re right. Wouldn’t get one that’s not glass.
TFW Chinese EV makers aren’t even competing with western ones anymore, only among themselves.
I guess MAGA people will see this as a win? Since imports are down 2x much as imports. If the value of the goods in these containers are roughly equal, that should mean smaller trade deficits?

What? Having Chrome become Chromium and Android being degooglified would be pretty huge?
Sorry, I realise this is half-joking and not at all the point of your post, but I find it interesting…
Otoh, I really don’t want to learn chinese, meh
It’s unlikely to become the lingua franca over night, especially since Chinese already speak English (well, the ones you’re likely to come in contact with). Maybe your grand-children will learn it in school though.
Apart from the characters and pronunciation, the latter of which is probably quite easy if taught at an early age, Chinese is quite straightforward. There’s no regular vs irregular verbs because there are no inflections at all - no cases, no tenses, no plural forms. Just plop the words down in the right order and you’re done. And as a second language, I guess we would only use pinyin until quite late in school.
If a tariff falls on a product category but no one is around to hear it, did it even make a sound?
day before yesterday, 105. yesterday 125. today 145.
so I guess 165 tomorrow?
Maybe he’s doing it to displease someone…
Automating this system with some kind of algorithm is not right, but a nearly blind 70-year-old can still do damage? The angle here is weird.
I think this but it’s just the people seeing his tweet immediately before he lifted the restrictions.
Market doesn’t know if the tariffs are even coming back, and are taking the chance to buy back low.
Being absolutely sure about everything.
