After some more reading it seems this isn’t a decision by the EU but the members of the Bern Convention which the EU members are just part of. Some African and American countries are also members of that.

As for decision by the EU: only decisions effecting trade between countries seem enforceable, internal policy can’t be forced by the EU on member countries, it’s a choice to adopt EU laws. Like for example the EU copyright directive was passed in 2019 and only 4 member states chose to adopt it to this day.

Does the EU even have the authority to rule over stuff like this? I’m pretty sure they don’t and this decision will have no impact on the policies of the member countries.

I’m not gonna do work to buy their games, I’ll just pirate them if they make it more annoying than buying.

Inflating money only loses purchasing power if it’s tied to the value of something else as I originally said. That was literally my original point.

And what do you mean by USD debt?

So what makes the stuff stores buy more expensive? Like you can create a chain of price raising as far as you want but ultimately it’s just someone deciding to raise prices and that creating inflation.

Again, only a handful of countries own US debt and I don’t even know how US debt interest rates are going to connect to inflation in other countries. Like China and Japan are the largest debt holders and their inflation is vastly different.

There are a handful of currencies backed by USD but most are not. I only know of Belize dollar, the Hong Kong dollar and the Dirham as backed by USD, as far as I know those are the only ones.

Do you think stores look at the inflation and raise their prices accordingly or do they raise their prices and inflation is calculated based on that? One of those is correct.

I don’t think the federal reserve is active outside the US. Also printing money was the cause of inflation when gold was backing the money, now the worth of money is only governed by what you can buy with it. Like you can double the amount in circulation but if no one raises prices there would be no inflation.

Yea, that’s what I did and mean by searching Steam. It’s probably not available in Estonia like every other Sony game.

I never heard of it and searching for it on Steam doesn’t give any results so I’m guessing it’s not even available here.

Rooms are made of stuff and contain stuff so there are like 100s of things someone could be allergic to. Outside of allergies someone could have some extreme form of claustrophobia as well which would make the whole idea of a room rather unappealing.

The article doesn’t mention how it compensates for different keyboards. Like wouldn’t different switches and wear change the sound?

I’m pretty sure there isnt a thing not a single person isn’t allergic to. There’s an allergy for water.

Oh I have been banned from lemmy.ml like 6 times but only temporarily. Lemmygrad and hexbear just went for a permaban for just arguing with their users on a separate instance.

I got banned from hexbear and lemmygrad like a year ago without ever even posting in either community, just for arguing with some of their users under a post on lemmy.ml

Or do it the really fast way and just oil it with zero heat

That’s just adding a bit of oil and spreading it over the surface with a piece of paper, takes like 10 seconds. I have done that after washing it for 40 years and it works as well as anything I found people saying online.

Some insane people insist on sticking it in an oven with bacon grease or something but as far as I’m concerned it doesn’t do anything more than just adding a bit of oil and leaving it alone. I did that once and felt completely ridiculous for wasting so much time for the same result.

Did anyone seriously thought carbon credits helped poor nations? The only purpose of those is for companies to avoid regulations and stick a carbon neutral sticker on themselves while fucking up the planet.

I use knives I have pilfered from various places I have worked at and they are around 10 - 40 years old, some are really good knives though. I have ever only used 2 pull through sharpeners and the current one is maybe 15 years old. I have also only washed my knives in a dishwasher as long as I have had access to one, so like 20 years, and there has been no noticeable difference.

I also have a cast iron pan that’s at least 40 years old, I commonly wash it in the dishwasher and it’s indestructible. If it gets some rust on it I just scrape it off with steel wool and add a little oil. It works as well as it did 40 years ago. People are way too anal about kitchen tools.

I’m pretty sure the idea that a dishwasher can ruin a knife or a cast iron pan is a myth that too many people have bought into.

Except the precogs are just a magic 8 ball.

1. Skyrim with a ton of mods
2. Stellar is with a ton of mods
3. Minecraft with a ton of mods

I would pick Baldur’s Gate 3 if I can bring my wife to play with me, then we may actually get to act 3 by the 5th year and not even need another game.
