I would say this is one of the things EU is doing quite a good job.
It would be difficult making Linux de facto illegal in EU. It could happen but most likely it won’t.

Moat of servers run Linux, and servers are just computers.

Has Fairphone failed in this regard, in your opinion?

That is of course true, but…
Americans habe a right to have their own things as well. Not everything they do needs to be global. If someone from there wants to ask other Americans or just other US residents a question and they prefix it with “Americans of Lemmy” or “US residents in Lemmy”, I think that’s fine.
And similarly, if an European person has a thought they know os connected to them living in Europe, it makes sense that they direct their questions to Europeans.
What I hate is.when people talk like “what do you think about”, but actually means for the question to be a answered by US residents only, or talk on an international forum as if there was a leftist party in US congress or senate. If you want to ask a US-centric or Japan-centric or Eurocentric question, then by all means, go for it, in my opinion – as long as the question is clearly marked as such.
And this one is.

There are. There are also Africa, Asia, Australia and Antarctic.

The article “the” in “the solar system” means that we are talking about one specific solar system. It’s left for the reader to decide which one should be assumed, but in this case it’s actually clear that ours is meant.
That means, it’s clear that the meme is talking about our solar system, not some other solar system somewhere nor some bunch of solar systems.

It is, though. You wouldn’t make fun of people wanting to take your shoes off if you didn’t think it’s moronic to keep your shoes on when inside.

Could it be that one source referred only to places with an actual border, while the rest included anything within 160 km of any coast?

If I understand correctly based on a map and Wikipedia, the concept of “a lot of people” does not exist in North Dakota, though.
I had never heard of the city of Bismarck, their state capital of more than 70 thousand inhabitants, a bit over 10% of the state’s population. But, now I do. I also had not thought there can be a state capital with that little population. (And then this made me curious and I learned that in Germany the smallest state capital is Schwerin, in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and it has about 98 000 inhabitants in a state of 1½ million inhabitants.)

I mean, you can do pretty much that by using one of the largest instances. That is most likely to have content from the largest amount of other instances.

Uh… That sounds disgusting. Toilet paper does zero to protect your hands. It’s so thin and perforated that bacteria pass through it as if it wasn’t there at all. The point of TP is that it collects poop and pee.
After wiping, you wash your hands with a LOT of. soap, because your hand is full of poop bacteria
It looks like OP wasn’t taught this by their parents and just walk around smearing shit in every door handle that comes across. Not something I wanted to have to know about…
- Comment on ill take a double scoop 5 weeks ago:
Toilet paper is so thin that all bacteria pass through it as if it wasn’t there at all.
Toilet paper’s point is not at all to protect but to collect. You need to wash your hamds afterwards just im the same way as if you had held poop in your hands.

You’re still opening it.
But if you have your friend open it, then you are not opening and consuming the product.
Of course, with such draconian rules, one should not drink that stuff anyway.

There is overwhelming evidence that this didn’t happen in the Jurassic era: Stegosaurs had been extinct for tens of millions of years at that point.
The theropods (“possibly”) electrocuted contemporary dinosaurs, not dinosaurs that had gone extinct 100 million years earlier.

But makes a very big difference. Talking bad things about someone publicly is not okay, and the whistleblower is doing the right thing. Well, mostly. It’s not really cool that now the private messages are shared with even more people!
Talking about anything privately is a private discussion and as such, not a huge problem. Sharing someone’s private messages with a group with more than two or three members is already public to an extent.

Try oat milk, at least in coffee. Even people who otherwise have nothing against cow milk tend to say that oat milk is better in coffee than cow milk is. I’ve met only some who think cow milk suits coffee better. In my opinion oat milk is also better in cereals and porridge, but that’s something people often disagree upon :)

The dairy company Arla would be in trouble if they had to do this :D
Arla Finland has one of the few most prominent nazis in Finland in their board of directors. There was a bit of a scandal because of this about a year or two ago, but the company said “we already know, but he has promised not to be a nazi during working hours, and it’s every employee’s personal choice what they do in their free time.” And Finland was okay with that (!!)

It might be that’s because I went to India by hitchhiking, and did that through South-East Asia, and that took quite a bit of time 🙂 My body had plenty of time to incrementally adjust to the climate as I was making my way southwards. I’m guessing that you mostly spend your time in spaces with AC and your body never gets acclimated to the 40°C temperatures? Or maybe those temperatures take place so seldom where you live that you’ve has no chance to adapt? I’m not really used to AC, so I keep it off if possible even where it’s available.
Anyways, if you look at videos of everyday life of locals in Goa, they aren’t really constantly dripping sweat. At least I don’t have any memory of having sweated very much during my time in Laos, Thailand, Burma and India. Even if there was some level of constant sweating, it absolutely hasn’t been enough to disturbing in smell or visually, because otherwise I’d have a memory of it.

Nah, I don’t have anything like that against US. But out in the rest of the world it just makes sense to use standard units. Live the way you live in the US, but when you come elsewhere, including the parts of Internet not meant for US inhabitants only, do in Rome as Romans do.
- Comment on Murica 6 months ago:
Not my experience. I spent some 4 months at Goa in India, and it was usually around 40°C. I rented a bicycle there and rode it for distances of over 100 km in a day. And I did not sweat.
That temperature should not be a problem for a person living in an area where that’s a common temperature. And if it’s not a common temperature, then it’s not common, and it’s not really a problem to have to pay the taxi if you need to go to an important meeting precisely on the one scorching hot day :)
I was assuming from the context that it would translate to more like 50°C or so.
- Comment on Murica 6 months ago:
Heh.
It’s impolite to use only Fahrenheits on an international forum. Most readers won’t be able to make heads or tails of “103 degrees”, so a person posting on an international forum should definitely bother checking what that’s in Celcius. It’s much less work for the person writing the text to check that than thousand individual readers checking the same thing on Google.
If it’s somehow “okay” to ignore the 95 % of the world that has no idea of Fahrenheit, then it is similarly okay to be as if Fahrenheit didn’t exist.
I simply let the impolite person taste his own medicine. And no, I still don’t know if “103 degrees” equals 30°C, 45°C or 55°C. But the description “very uncomfortably hot” is absolutely enough to get what the person was talking about. So, some temperature that is unusual where the person writing the comment lives.
- Comment on Murica 6 months ago:
“103 degrees” means that it’s hot enough for water to boil. Water boils at 100 degrees, unless you’re deep underground.
But okay, it sounds like that’s a very rare temperature, then?
- Comment on Murica 6 months ago:
Then what does the bike have to do with it? (Also, how hot is a 103 day?)
- Comment on Murica 6 months ago:
Why would a person ride their bike so fast that they end up dripping in sweat? Is there a reason for that?
