Yes the ones that stand a chance are higher segment, turn to biological wine only and to “luxury experience at our vineyard”. But no way French, Italian, Spanish or German wine can continue to compete in lower segments on world market flooded by cheap mass produced wine from South America, South Africa etc while demand declines. Of course it will not disappear completely from Europe, but the risk for certain villages and regions is very real because wine from other continents is silly cheap. If you do drink wine once in a while: buy regional if possible! (That goes for all agricultural products that are available from your own region)

I agree there are few advantages to alcohol.

But for some regions in Europe it means traditions older than the Roman empire, related to wine growing, can disappear. On steep sunny rocky slopes where little else will grow well, and it’s often really deeply embedded in almost everything in such a region: restaurants, tourism, landscape… 80% inhabitants are somehow linked to the winery. Then it’s not anonymous capitalist sounding “industry” but just some guy in a small village whose father’s father’s father … once started an Inn with winegrowing on the side and when all 4 of such businesses in a village go bankrupt the entire village can become an abandoned wasteland in just a few years.

Because you have to get your friends to move to Lemmy too so the USSR/PRC loving weirdos become a lower % of total user base. Not kidding.

That’s how it should be! Thanks

It’s on roads and paths with public lighting mostly! The bicycle front light is not for you to see things, it’s for you to be seen by others. Aimed downwards in front of your bicycle is were it should be… Not up into other people’s faces!

It’s not just cars. Also super blinding lights on bicycles, aimed too high. And the worst of all: straight at your face aiming super blinding lights from fricking joggers on park roads that have public lighting!!

Don’t forget obligated resting times!

I’m assuming labour cost is still pretty low in Southern Italy, because in North/Western Europe you can have a kitchen and a bathroom renovated for that money, but no way build an entire house.

It’s not only speculation, it’s also because some locations are a lot more wanted by many people to live there: right next to a big park, walkable neighbourhood, city amenities nearby but few city problems, no highway audible when sleeping with open window et cetera et cetera. More people want to live in prime locations than prime location housing is available.

The big scam are the insane prices for run down shoebox-apartments in shitty locations.

Nazis never achieved absolute majority of the vote. Only after being enabled by the “conservative right” did they basically abolish the state and founded a new one where only 1 party was allowed.

But some wealthy pockets with strong political connections got filled along the way during privatization and that’s all they cared about.

There’s never going back. Nothing will ever be the same again, just like nothing was ever the same again after WTC attack and Iraq&Afghanistan invasion. EU will keep trying to be less dependant, the course is set, even if USA manages to elect a less insane president in a few years and manage to throw this abomination in jail or on an electric chair, it will not mean a return to what was before…

I think 2 of those 3 will be dead before ever handing over power

Dunno and didn’t read article, but buy in Europe first, prices go up, sell in USA last.

Okay cool!

On mobile Voyager is quite nice imo

There’s just one little hurdle: choose an instance when joining. Maybe it could just be some sort of “choose for me” and every instance gets equal new users, random. Of course with the option to “nope, I’ll choose instance myself”. Everything else is technical and a casual new user shouldn’t be bothered very much by it. Some are very interested and dig in to the knowledge, some just want to scroll cat pictures and call it a day, and that is fine too.

haha didn’t think of that yet. The “thank you” from trump to Qatar, Bahrain, Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Jordan: quite a few of the members got fucked over very quickly with the generous gift of regional instability!

Are they independent? There are large coalitions, across various wars. And trade of all key resources and tech makes it all very connected to eachother and easy to get dragged in for many countries. Actively trying to stay a neutral country becomes harder and harder, we’re for sure heading in that direction.

It will already last decades, trust with nearly all countries in the region world is ruined.

But yes, get out ASAP, for damage control…
