Most developing countries don’t have a brain drain problem but a capital problem. Remittances from people that moved abroad are a strong factor helping with that and are bigger than the official development assistance for example.

Also jetzt mal von den ganzen anderen im Artikel genannten Vorteilen abgesehen… wenn eine Wohnung in der Innenstadt kein zur Wohnung gehörenden Autostellplatz hat, ist es absolut im Interesse der Allgemeinheit dann den Autobesitz einzuschränken, denn wo soll das Auto sonst hin? Alternativ halt nur kostenpflichtige Parkplätze mit Anwohnerausweiß, die dann aber entsprechend auch kosten.
Very few in Africa are under any sort of illusions about Russia. They just play both sides for their own benefit.
And it is anyways China that has a much bigger influence these days in many African countries.
Due to the colonial history most of Africa isn’t particularly fond of Europe. And modern France being insensitive on the issue certainly didn’t help this lately.
This kind of video content is apparently not popular here 😅

I am not overly surprised by this. The humanitarian response funding has been absolutely gutted this year, and not only by Trump (for example German gov. funding is down by 50% since 2022).
Thus organisations are struggleing to keep the lights on in the many emergency responses they already previously committed to, and have also not yet structurally adjusted, so there is an administrative overhang that further swallows what little funding remains.
And without NGO pushing for it, the shallow self of what journalism has become is totally oblivious to such relatively slow moving disasters. But it also becomes a self-reinforcing death spiral with no media coverage there is little non-government donations, thus further reducing the funds available.


If would need to be patched in on Linux kernel level, which is annoying to say the least.
Hetzner probably has some spare modules…


Because there exists only one place in the world and that is called US of A? 🙄
Saudi Arabia is still the biggest oil exporter in the world (as of 2024). If you drive an internal combustion car anywhere, chances are high that you paid the Sheiks at least some money for doing so.


Not really, as traveling by bus is quite popular in Europe as well. I just personally try to avoid it when there are better options.


Yeah, those have been pretty common with similar comfort in Latin America since decades. I always wondered why they never made the jump accross the pond.
But traveling by bus kinda sucks. I rather take a sleeper train or a high speed one than a bumpy slow bus (or car).


When devs switch their development PCs to ARM, you will also start seeing ARM native versions. It is the same with Linux and Proton.


Given that they did have a beta for Steam on x86 Chromebooks, and Google seems hellbend to replace ChromeOS with an modified version of Android (“AluminiumOS”) these days, it seems likely that Valve will also consider a release for that. I wouldn’t expect them to make an official release for phones though.


After finishing to read the interview it does indeed sound different, but it is odd that this isn’t open-source somewhere like Proton and Fex always were.


I guess that is a streamlined version of Waydroid?


Don’t look online, ask friends and family if someone has an old laptop you can get for free. Very likely someone does, especially if you are ok with a bad battery and/or a broken screen.
A RPi3 can work, but it being ARM based will cause various headaches when learning compared to something x86.


I have bad news for you if you drive a non-electric car 😏
Das wundert mich jetzt aber doch. Schließlich überzieht Friedrich Merz seit Jahren andere mit solchen Klagen um sie mundtot zu machen.
