As someone now living in Europe, I find the US protests mild and small. When Europeans protest, they protest. I mean, my native Greece saw a massive protest in Feb, well over a million went out, in a country of ~9 million. This is how you do it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tm3vEKMnA-8

Eugenia@lemmy.mlto Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•What If We Made Advertising Illegal?English95·4 months agoNo, advertising is useful to small businesses and big. What needs to happen, is actual thoughtful regulation, as with everything else.
Eugenia@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•Europe bets on RISC-V for homegrown supercomputing platformEnglish17·5 months agoARM was bought by the Japanese, it’s no longer European. RISC-V is the future.
Eugenia@lemmy.mlto World News@lemmy.world•America vetoes G7 proposal to combat Russia’s shadow fleet of oil tankersEnglish5·5 months agoThe US is led by Peter Thiel. Putin is there for convenience.
So you’re telling me that he’s strengthening Ukraine’s military numbers?
Me too. Just tonight I lost my cat, and found her hours later, with a tomcat on top… Doctor said she’s too young to be spayed, he was wrong…
Eugenia@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What TV shows are you watching and would recommend?English231·7 months agoSeverance is the best show of the 2020s IMHO.
Eugenia@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Lab grown protein: if created, would you move to it?English111·7 months agoProcessed food is bad, this is common knowledge. Saturated fat is nothing compared to it. These fake burgers are ultra processed in order to feel like meat. Just do a search about processed foods on the guardian and nytimes in the last year. A LOT of new research has come out about it.
Eugenia@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Lab grown protein: if created, would you move to it?English45·7 months agoSaturated fat is not evil, this is an old idea that has been debunked by latest research.
Eugenia@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Lab grown protein: if created, would you move to it?English713·7 months agoImpossible burgers are extremely unhealthy, full of processed flours and additives. It’s best to not eat any “meat” at all, and instead eat whole vegan foods, than eat these things. Lab grown meat, if it’s like real meat, is much more desirable health-wise.
Eugenia@lemmy.mlto World News@lemmy.world•Elon Musk brands Britain a 'tyrannical police state' and boosts far-right activistEnglish44·8 months agoHe’s not a Russian asset, he simply feels that if the whole world is run by tyrants like him and Putin, then he would somehow he could do whatever he wanted, because it would just be as simple as cutting a deal/buying the privilege (same with the Trump mentality). Musk is the embodiment of why becoming a billionaire needs to be outlawed.

Eugenia@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Favorite underrated / unrecognized TV show? I'll go first.English2·9 months agoRubicon was excellent. Most of the other shows mentioned here are actually well known, but this one truly is a deep cut.
Eugenia@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Should we A) colonise other planets or B) build habitats in the middle of space, like O'Neill Cylinders and stuff?English13·9 months agoHuge sci-fi lover here. But at the same time, colonization of space for humans is possibly impossible without avatars. The human body evolved here, and it’s a vessel that works here the best. To colonize other worlds, it’s more economically viable to send machines, create biologically synthesized new species (taking dna from local species there), and then transfer consciousness to them. Similar with Avatar, but without having to have the spaceships arrive in the planet full of humans. Humans remain on earth, and they project their consciousness somewhere else, in an instant due to entanglement.
Eugenia@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What weird food or dishes do you eat regularly at home that you would never serve to someone else?English1·9 months agoIt falls apart really, so it becomes a bit like scrambled eggs. I personally leave it to take some color underneath, so it doesn’t break too much. Make sure you fry it with butter and not with regular oil for best color/consistency. Finally, serve it with a dollop of honey.
Eugenia@lemmy.mlto News@lemmy.world•Why Does Elon Musk Still Have a Security Clearance? The U.S. government seems to think he’s too big to fail.English2·9 months agoActually, Musk is not running the day to day operations at spacex, so removing spacex is not really a big need. He was driven out successfully from there a few years ago. But he’s still wrecking havoc at tesla.
Eugenia@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Did the recent Linux drama change your views on how you perceived Open Source projects?English21·9 months agoWell, in theory open source is immune to all that. However, the country a project is registered at, matters. That’s why the RISC-V project, for example, took its headquarters from the US to Switzerland. For that exact reason: so no country could strong arm it, especially since Chinese were the major contributors to the project (Switzerland is not 100% neutral, but it’s more neutral than other countries).
Eugenia@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What weird food or dishes do you eat regularly at home that you would never serve to someone else?English5·9 months agoI blend 2 eggs with a banana, and I fry it as if it’s a pancake, with butter. It doesn’t hold together, so it keeps coming out as if it’s weird scrambled eggs. But it’s delicious, the healthiest kind of pancake (with a drop of raw honey afterwards).
Eugenia@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Moving from the US to the EU soon... Any advice?English14·10 months agoCreate a second gmail account when you get there. Many apps that you will need there don’t exist in the US app/playstore, so you will need the second account to download them.
Have you tried OnlyOffice? It has better compatibility with MS formats than LibreOffice.
