@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... tariffs are a tax payed by the importer and eventually the buyer, what you are suggesting is another tax on people from the EU to subsidize the Chinese exporters (+ maybe a mild disincentive to buy chinese products, some of which don't have proper European alternatives)

Today I learned that our national postal services are effectively subsidising deliveries from Chinese marketplaces. According to the 1969 Universal Postal Union Convention, delivery fees for incoming ...

@nprofile1q... maybe if Europe made some competitive products instead of endless self-congratulation about our supposed superiority ... 🤔

Nah that can't be the solution, let's privatize the postal service and make it operate at a profit for 3 billionaires (and 10x the prices for everyone) that will show those pesky Chinese! /s

After messing with C++ and cmake for quite some time now, there I was, still very naively thinking:

I know, I'll create a new project using both modules and reflection with g++-16 and cmake 4.2 and it will work out of the box and I'll finally have some fun 🤦‍♂️

oh, well ... it's either writing a lot of cmake crap assembling the correct set of options and building my own module std or it's back to headers.

I'm sad :P

@nprofile1q... yeah, we'll have the same thin in Slovakia in a year or two, Fico+ex-skinheads vs. a coalition of right-wingers with various levels of derangement which (even if it wins) will again fall apart in 6 months, because of some very important problems like what people do with their hoo-hoo a whether cars with ICEs shall have more rights than some humans.

@nprofile1q... around here, we've been dealing with Orban for ~25 years, I remember the day he first won the election and I'll definitely will be happy (if) he's gone, but the new guy has still been in Orban's Fidesz party like 2 years ago and I heard him say some pretty stupid nationalistic shit. He's just a "pro-west" nationalist.

@nprofile1q... you are forgetting all the economic benefits of US imperialism. Until recently gas prices in the US for example were just a fraction of what the rest of the world has had to pay.

Even in 2002 when I visited the US for the first time I hitchhiked a lot and many people complained that prices like $1.40/gallon were getting unreasonably high, at the same time back in my home country the price was ~1.20-1.30EUR per *liter*.
