Nah, it’s just how it is.

No it doesn’t, and the speech by Mark Carney in Davos explain why.
If you didn’t hear it, one of the things he emphasized about Canada being a good strategic partner was that Canada stands for stability.
This is very contrary to UK, that has been absolute chaos for a decade now due to Brexit.
But like Canada EU also stands for stability, so Canada and EU are good matches in that regard.
EU is also a strong cooperation between small and middle powers, much in line with what Carney say we need more of.
UK did the opposite, and broke the cooperation with 27 countries of EU.

UK does not stand for the dependability and cooperation among middle states that Mark Carney was calling for. EU does.

VW brand sold 14% more BEV than Tesla in Europe in 2025.
But VW Group sold 3 times as many BEV cars as Tesla!!
Tesla is seriously dying in Europe.

That’s bullshit, EU absolutely stands for Democracy, and so do the member states, except Hungary.

Even the best democracies seem to have some way to go regarding LGBT acceptance.
Here we are pretty good with the LGB but the T part is still somewhat problematic.
It’s not like it’s dangerous, but there is a lot of disrespect and lack of understanding.

There is nothing in your previous comment that shows it’s a personal experience. I am sorry to hear it is so bad for you.

I suppose people who are fascists or don’t give a shit or are extremely ignorant.

Yes that is true, but this trend started already late 2024, and in 2025 Tesla sales were consistently 50% below 2024. Even before Greenland became an issue.
Sweden, Germany and France have had similar decline to Denmark in Tesla sales. And finally sales in Norway are declining for Tesla too. IDK why, but for some reason Tesla remained a darling in Norway longer than for any other European country.
But apparently the bubble is bursting in Norway now:

To put that into concrete numbers, VW sold 274,278 EVs to Tesla’s 236,357. And that’s just the VW brand itself—the automaker also owns Skoda (in 4th place, with 171,703 sales), Audi (5th place, 153,845 sales), Cupra (15th place, 79,269 sales), and Porsche (21st place, 32,715 sales).

274,278+171,703+153,845+79,269+32,715 = 711,813
711,813 / 236,357 = 3,01

So VW group has 3 times the sales in Europe that Tesla has. That’s a bit more than “slipped behind”.
Even main VW brand by itself is almost 14% higher than Tesla!

In Denmark with 70% EV sales, No Tesla model is even in top 10 anymore! And that’s despite Tesla basically only sell 2 models!

Canada is way better than just 2 places better than UAE.
We had a woman recently jailed in UAE for months, because she was divorced here in Denmark as a Dane living in Denmark.
But her husband was a muslim, and filed a complaint in UAE while she was on holiday there. And she was arrested for being divorced!!!

Yes definitely very safe. 🤣🤣🤣

I have to puke every time I hear women or minorities praise Dubai or anything UAE. It’s a shithole dictatorship kept in check with religious fanaticism. 🤢🤮

Only in your head. I have no idea why you are upvoted, safety is no the same as terrifying.
Most countries have safety indexes for traveling to them as tourists, what so strange about making one for LGBT, and why do you feel like degrading it?

USA is a very violent country, and I suspect you are right. Anecdotally the decades of refusal for stricter federal gun regulations indicate that very many Americans want violence.

There are lots of Americans I like very much. USA has some very exceptional people and many good people.
Unfortunately they are not the ones in power, and the ones in power are not just a little bit bad and a little bit selfish.
They are lead Trump who is a flaming malignant narcissist, with a White House filled with Sociopaths. It’s an absolutely insane government that doesn’t give a shit about causing harm or breaking up old alliances if they think they can profit from it.

As gravitas_deficiency wrote, the US government is forcing our hand, and we can’t treat USA like 2 countries, we have to treat it as 1 country. Last time with Trump we waited it out, but Trump has made that an impossible option this time. And the American people has made it an impossible option by electing Trump twice.

Yes I heard from LGBT people who have been to Thailand, I have never been there myself.
So quit the completely baseless innuendo.

I know it’s not all American, but unfortunately we have to treat USA as a collective, when the collective is acting like an enemy.
I hope somehow USA will come to their senses, and not elect a raving lunatic again, after a period of sanity.

Thailand should definitely be in top 10!

From what I have heard, that seems right.

the US was never the champion of democracy.

True.

No Scandinavian countries among top 10?
That doesn’t seem right.

Jeff Bezos doesn’t want the Ukrainian angle to the war!
This reeks of helping the Trump White House with their anti Ukraine policies.

Fuck USA for not standing with democracy!
And Fuck USA for not standing with their closest traditional allies!
USA alone it is, at least for my part it is.

I’m talking about comes pre-installed

Apart from Steam not being a standard installed item, it is very feature full.
For 32 bit you also need to enable multi-arch.

But apart from gaming it is in no way bare and very very far from “super bare”. Ans Steam is pretty easy to install.

I did not say it was not great or popular.

You wrote it was mostly for servers. Which although it is an excellent server distro, it is most definitely developed at least as much for desktop use.

This is not the dunk you think it is…

I don’t think you really understand the implications.
