Credit cards is a money trickling up system. Banks charge the sellers and give a rebate to their customers. Sellers increase their price to compensate for the credit card fees.
And then the poor are denied credit cards and pay the marked-up price on everything, or are given credit cards knowing they will fail to pay back on time at some point and then pay huge interests.
It would be better for most if that system disappeared or was at least severely trimmed down!
Indeed: a LOT of people are still on Twitter/X.
Greasy racist fucker… and an absolute idiot! Even if Carney thought the F35 was the better choice, purchasing it now would make him look like he was weak and submitted to the bullies. But since idiots are idiots, they keep piping up and shooting themselves in the foot every time.
Ignorance, mostly. It's sad but Chinese leaders seem to listen to their experts, while EU leaders listen to CEOs, and of large companies only.
The "find out" will take forever. France just decided that a "sovereign server" can be AWS or any US big-tech providing the physical server is located in France.
France has also signed a contract with Microsoft ("sovereign" solution again) for the national health data hub, even as a parliament investigation had MS France GM stating MS can't guarantee the data won't leak to the US!
Most political leader are grossly ignorant on anything IT.
No, Visio is based on BigBlueButton, and it is to interface with Tchap, which is an internal Matrix server for France's gov agents.
EDIT: Ah! Yes, apparently LiveKit is involved in the integration with Tchap. My bad, you seem to be right!
Be careful with that. Who knows if the ICE is not going to kick doors at night and shoot someone randomly. If you have time, take them on hours long trips…
Keep a 2nd note in the grocery bag with the address of the police station, or an abandoned building, or a non-existent address as far away as possible while sounding legit, or… Just have them going in circles!
Italian is quicker and easier to make
Oh no! No it is not!
If you want a real Bolognese sauce, know it needs to simmer for a looooong time, and if you've never had this, you never had a real Bolognese sauce! Nothing you will find pre-made in a jar will ever match the fresh one!
It's just like pizzas: fresh made are incomparable to frozen ones.
Italian food was made "quick-and-convenient" by the food industry because it is top-tier, not because it was initially quick and convenient.
And industry italian-style food is of a much lower standard than genuine italian cuisine.
Hiding it because it's a spoiler:

For the record: Québec independence leaders are very adamant about the "historical relation to the US" these days: if Canada is divesting its economy, Québec should become independent to keep good relations with the US. So I would not be surprised if some money was flowing that way too.
Needless to say you see an independent Québec becoming a vassal state to the US from miles away.

Proposed line of defense: "With all respect, M. Judge, with all the different times we fucked our users, lied to them, tricked them, experimented on them, ignored them, we already sold private discussions on Facebook in the past, our CEO and founder most famous quote is «They trust me, dumbfucks!», the list goes on and on: no one in their sane mind would genuinely believe we were not spying on Whatsapp! They try to play dumb, they could not possibly believe we were being fair and honest THIS time?!"
