Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Moving from the US to the EU soon... Any advice?
1·1 year agoJumping on this to evangelise about some car ownership alternatives, as it can even be quite the cultural leap even for some Europeans to not own a car.
Firstly Denmark has some brilliant cycling infrastructure I would highly recommend sourcing a bike with a pannier rack to make small trips to the shops easier. If you enjoy it you can always go all in later with a cargo bike and there are many - even from local brands - to choose from (although I have an urban arrow I can also recommend a Bullitt (DK))!
For when you do need a car aside from all the big brands rentals there are also peer-2-peer rentals, eg in Finland I will use go more which is great here and while it looks like they also exist in Denmark your mileage may vary, but I have friends in Sweden who have used this there too.

Today I Learned (TIL)@lemmy.ca•TIL that powerful jets of high-energy particles created by supermassive black holes must be pointed at Earth to be called a Blazar
6·1 year agoIf the angle of the jet is more then a little off axis the jet may still visible if it is sufficiently powerful and it passes through a scattering medium (interstellar dust?) the wiki page for blazars shows just such an example in the M87 galaxy

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is Open University (UK) a decent option for an online-only Master's in Education degree?
17·2 years agoThe OU has always had strong distance learning teaching, I have a family member who pivoted to a new career thanks largely to getting a degree with the OU. Also completing a degree through a remote program from and provider is a great indicator of your resolve and tenacity and can easily be a great selling point to future jobs etc.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Do you think it is ethical to work for a company that builds drones, weaponry, or supplies parts to the military?
7·2 years agoIt of course depends on the context and choice of ethics framework. If the decision is personal I like to use the shorthand: If you have the privilege to choose, then choose to build the type of future you want to live in.
I think you were looking for anglicisation the other is an Americanisation

Technology@lemmy.world•Electric vehicles will need 'battery passports' to enter EU from 2027English
16·2 years agoI agree, but it is going to increase the charging time for a car by quite a bit unless the USB spec advances significantly.

Technology@lemmy.world•Musk considers removing X platform from Europe over EU law - InsiderEnglish
27·2 years agoSo should we call this Xexit or just Xit?


Whether or not they are US based entities I think is moot since several developers have already been booted from kernel development due to their affiliations largely at the behest of the US.
Also if they try prevent downloads it would have the interesting side affect that: all the folks out there seeding and torrenting Linux ISOs might have to now also claim they only share the un-embargoed ones, wink.
