UK is in Europe, so fine.

But Japan?

It's very nice of the Russians to remind Moldova why their friends lie towards the west, not towards Russia. I hope the Transnistrians got the Russian memo.

Don't worry, Trump doesn't understand fact checks. He'll think it's real, and that's all that matters.

Some people are in industries where tipping is possible, others are in industries where it isn't.

Since this is Europe and (theoretically at least) everyone is being paid a fair wage for the job they do, tipping would be unfair and should therefore not be encouraged.

If you live in a third world country where people serving you do not earn a fair wage then that's a different matter. I'm very glad I don't live in such a country. But if tipping culture were to become normalised it might lead to such a situation here too.

Dyson was one of the arch brexiters. So I think crossing anything Dyson off the list for this community is probably appropriate.

I basically cut Microsoft out in 2001 when I first installed Mandrake Linux, though continued to dual boot until 2006. I had found myself rebooting to Microsoft fairly rarely, so when I had issues with my NTFS partition, I simply didn't bother to reinstall, and have only ever single booted my desktop since.

I bought a MacBook around 2005, with Mac OS 10.04 (Tiger). Apple wanted to charge me for upgrades, so once support for that finished (I forget when that was) I put Ubuntu on it as a dual boot. Back then the Unity interface of Ubuntu was very similar to that of MacOS. And with the greater freedom that Linux offered me I then ditched MacOS too.

From that time the only Microsoft operating system I've ever owned was Windows CE on the MediaNav of the two Dacias I owned. I can tell you once I found out they were running Microsoft it was almost a deal breaker 😂

Forgive me, I'm new here (and I'm not OP). But I thought the title was actually valid comment, and basically was at least in part what the BBC title was saying but not in so many words.

I know some groups in "the other place" (which I'm weaning myself off slowly) have a rule that titles have to be the same as that used in the article, but I've checked the rules here and that doesn't seem to be one.

In which case he could hardly hope for better publicity. What are the Russians thinking to go ahead and do this?

My internal clock jumped an hour a week ago due to a migraine, so I left it there in order to avoid the problem in a week's time.

That's not the recommended way to adjust the body clock though.

Thanks! New to Lemmy, been on Mastodon for quite a while though.

It's in the headline, quote: India and EU set for 'mother of all deals' as Trump's tariff uncertainty looms

It seems to me that the title used is not unreasonable, on the grounds of the headline alone.
