Good ol' European statism at work.
Welsch along the Franco-German border (derogatory).
Didn't they elect the Kaiser until 1806?
France in German is Frankreich, the Frankish Reich. But no Kaiser here, though we had an imperator at some point.
Talking about Vlachs, Welsch is a derogatory noun for Romance language speakers around the French-German border.
Pissaladière (classic dish from southeastern France) is sometimes said to come from old garum-like recipes (the Roman functional equivalent to Asian soy sauces).
Research on this topic has been very active since the late 2000s (before that scholars on the topic had been very few). It seems that the scale of the migrations are much better understood now (100k-300k people over 3…
There are Germans from Slavic / protoslavic descent in North-Eastern Germany aside from the small Slavuc speaking minorities. Some location names and family names (Wend, Wenden, etc) are very telling in this regard. I…
>It’s like how peasants used to say that the King is a divine representative of God, because that was the king and the system’s con job back then, to make the dumb peasants obedient through religion. Well no one really…
Probably Georgia as a political entity, Armenia, Cambodia and Vietnam as nations probably. I know other examples of relative ethnic stability: most of Northern Europe broadly has the same ethnic geographic boundaries as…
English, Welsh and probably some kind of Scottish ethnicity are probably a thing. DNA + history + cultural habits including language. But on this topic the concept of German ethnogenesis is very interesting. The…
Half of Italy was ethnically Greek / Hellenized (Kai tu teknon!).
Well we've got to define something ... I'd opt for something like Latium natives of 750-300 BCE, adding Etruscans. My point is to exclude Magna Graecia, because it would make it harder to make an ethnocultural statement…
Not even counting Sharepoint syncs...
Just like every operator promises 95%+ national LTE/5G coverage (they have legal obligations in this regard), but somehow your particular village or town in the lower Alps or in Brittany has shitty data rates for some…
I've been looking for this. Tcl apps are hard to run today when you're not a dev. Like the wonderful Grimm dictionary compiled into a TCL app ages ago by a German Uni.
They are. A related example is criminal gangs tageting gun owners in France after the dataleak at the sport shooting federation. This one has been well covered. There have been a few hundred targeted robberies (on old…
Adding to PlunderBunny, the Romans also used urine collected from public toilets to make detergents to whiten clothes.
The Economist was recently citing hydrogen as "deep tech" [1] (meaning long R&D cycles, sometimes unproven techniology no short term profitability, heavy investment, industry-wide transformative power). Most of your…
Federation can feel like "just a feature" but the E2E encryption (also in group chats) is a reason for Matrix to exist and a big reason why it's so slow.
Well there's always Matterbridge. If you don't have complicated workflows to replicate (and even then) you can just replicate to XMPP, Nextcloud or whatever.
Germany (government and armed forces) and NATO also use it.
The problem was not only in KDE but also in NVIDIA drivers iiuc. For my setting HDR has been stably working on KDE since early 2025.
In Europe I see a lot of companies with open space workrooms with some cubicles, maybe 30-40% of workers at those companies seem to work in them.
I travel mostly by high speed train over very long distances and I fail to see it making more economical sense than air travel, even with taxed kerosene. The costs of a high speed line are on the scale of 30 millions…
