I think it's worth noting that Copenhagen doesn't only have good cycling infrastructure, but also a relatively young and fit population, a population that has grown up cycling, a good public transport network leading to a completion of public transport vs ebike instead of car vs ebike, and it's very flat. For many people, an ebike can be the difference between a workout vs a regular commute. It might be just what they need to leave their car at home (or not have a car at all)

Facebook can be very useful for organizing events, it has some occasionally useful groups (e.g. when looking for roommates) and marketplace is one of the few places where people still sell things for way below their value (probably correlated to which people still use Facebook). But as a social media platform it is pretty much dead as far as I'm concerned.

Does a pi hole combine with a VPN? I assume the pi hole can't see what's in the VPN traffic and therefore can't block anything?

I think the main gain is in automation scripts for people with little coding experience. They don't need perfect or efficient code, they just need something barely functioning which is something that LLMs can generate. It doesn't always work, but most of the time it works well enough

That's more or less my point. They won't come out ahead but at least they won't have to raise the prices as much so they'll be more completive compared to manufacturers that don't include electronics

I'm not so sure about that. With tarrifs of over 100%, manufacturers can add over a 100% to the cost of production and still come out ahead... Alternatively they could move production, but that only makes sense to do if it's cheaper than adding just enough electronics to make the items exempt from tarrifs

I think that's pretty accurate

My understanding is that these are government to government subsidies, not government to people subsidies. That's quite different from what the usa is offering

Ooh, nice to know!

It impacts the form factor a bit, but in most projects that's easy to work with

My view is that it's not necessary to pit regional identity vs European identity. I think it's possible to have them side by side. I appreciate many things in my region that make up our identity, but at the same time as a European I can also appreciate many cultural aspects of other regions
