Kde, SUSE, The Linux Kernel just to name a few. And in this context, the document foundation is based in germany.
europe might not have any tech giants, but there are a lot of small and middle sized companies there that can an will profit from a switch away from U.S big tech to FOSS. -

I don't have an opinion about china because I don't know enough about it. Quite unlike the US. And thats kind of my point.

Comment on What's a "house rule" that has made a game more fun for you? in ~games
Don_Camillo Link Parentwe sometimes play, that whoewer finnishes the game declares a new rule. so the longer we play the more rules there are. rules can be whatever you want them to. so i can be cuts are now allowed or...we sometimes play, that whoewer finnishes the game declares a new rule. so the longer we play the more rules there are.
rules can be whatever you want them to. so i can be cuts are now allowed or can be anything else, like all red cards when played must as well be declared in a foreign language. or everytime somebody plays a two everybody needs to stand up/sit down. it can get very funny and absurd very fast :-)
I can highly recommend to play like this with fun, creative people and some drinks. -

Comment on <deleted topic> in ~food
Don_Camillo Link Parentwait what? this is not the usual way to do it? how do "normal" people cook an egg then?I like my eggs to have a meaty, filling texture that I can really bite into. A proper egg, in my opinion, should be a bit like a jelly donut: satisfyingly chewy on the outside and deliciously gooey on the inside. This is best achieved by cooking fast on high heat, which is apparently the "wrong" way to cook eggs, but it is what I absolutely love the most.
wait what? this is not the usual way to do it? how do "normal" people cook an egg then?

might add, choose the most recent LTS (long term support) release and you dont need to upgrade for some years. its what i put on my parents machines, they never have any problems with it.
