We should start funding US communists. Just for fun.

Only seven new petrol-powered cars sold in Norway in January in c/europe@feddit.org

The problem is that a big proportion of the rest is Tesla

It's official – EVs just outsold gas-powered cars for the first time in Europe, here are 3 reasons why in c/buyeuropean@feddit.uk

That's why I keep saying Europe should go for hydrogen fuel. We already have plenty of green energy that we need to store somehow. Instead of subsidising chinese battery makers, we should put serious money in hydrogen r&d

EU Set to Halt US Trade Deal Over Trump’s Latest Tariff Threat in c/europe@feddit.org

Tax big tech; Ban Facebook and X; Impose the same 10/25% on everything; Sell US treasuries.

I'm well aware it would hurt us as well, but we passed that point where we had a choice

Vessel coming from Russia dragged anchor before subsea cable damaged, say Finnish police in c/europe@feddit.org

Do Russians have any subsea cables? If you see what I mean. Making the captain accountable would yield nothing.

Taiwan, Poland sign drone deal to build non-China supply chain in c/europe@feddit.org
[–] darko@feddit.org 1 points 4 months ago

To be fair, if you don't want to buy Chinese motors, then the only option is the US. Maybe Taiwan, but that I would not call a very secure supply chain either. Hard to believe but there doesn't seem to be a single manufacturer in Europe that produces drone motors

Hungarian here. I hate Orbán. But calling anyone and everyone a fascist just because you don't like her/him is turning this platform a joke

Cloudflare goes again in c/technology@lemmy.world

Downdetector was down again for a while. The main news site in Hungary wasn't, seems like they got rid of cloudflare completely after the last outage.

First made in Europe PCB prototype order sent! Let's see how @aislerhq works, happy we have an European alternative at decent price. in c/buyfromeu@feddit.org

I'm quite new to this field, but I found eurocircuits.com before that seemed European. Is that a different service?

Customizing the Raspberry Pi Ubuntu image (feddit.org)
 

Hello, I would like to customize the Raspberry Pi Ubuntu image before I flash it to multiple SD cards. I tried to use Cubic: I downloaded the official image which is an img.xz file. I extracted it, and converted the img to iso since Cubic only accepts iso files. However, when I try to add this source iso in Cubic, it complains about having a wrong file format. Can you suggest a better way to try and customize it? I just need to uninstall some software that are there by default, and install others that are not there, nothing crazy really.

Equal opportunity for Linux - let us choose at the checkout what operating system we want for our laptop (backtoeu.eu)
 

cross-posted from: https://feddit.org/post/11958306

As we all know, the EU loves regulation, sometimes even overregulation. One area where I feel that regulation would help is computer hardware sale. When I want to buy a laptop and I visit the online retailers, normally 80% of the laptops come with Windows, 10% Linux and 10% Freedos or without any. I would very much welcome if the EU made it mandatory for manufaturers to offer the choice of OS when buying a new laptop. Just like you chose the color, how much RAM you wanted, SSD size, you could also chose what operating system you want it with. As part of that, manufacturers would be obliged to send a fix donation after every sold piece to the corresponding Linux distro team, which would help the chronic underfunding issue. Not sure how much the manufacturers pay for Windowsfor the license, but theoretically the Linux equivalent machine should be cheaper even after the donation. Any views are welcome.
