Theres no such thing as “Europeans”. Where I live almost 70% has aircon, all new homes have it too or a proper heatpump.

Can you imagine a venue refusing entry to former clients 2% of the time just because they’ve “improved their experience”?

Sure, it's called a 'dress code'.

I mostly frequent forums hosting stuff westerns forums wont such as firmwares and roms.

Its perfectly fine for me, really. Sometimes I read nonsense in English and thats probably slang in Russian, yeah

Many people are not aware that this is mostly a English internet thing.

I still frequent a few forums in Dutch and Germen. Still around, still modded by volunteers, still great.

Since AI essentially solved translation I even frequent Russian forums again. Still rocking PhpBB often!

Then sun rises at 9am in the winter, which is too late.

Our daylight moves with the seaons. So therefor our clock does as well.

I understand some countries that are much closer to the equator might question it now but for us it just makes sense.

I live in the Netherlands.

In the summer the suns up at 5 am. But at 5am I am asleep. I could get up earlier but that's pointless since school and work doesn't start until 8.30.

So in stead of having an hour of sunlight before school and work we all change our clocks to have an hour of extra sunlight in the evening in stead, which fits our cultural preference for social activities.

We could also, as you say, change every single sign, post and display of opening hours for every school, business and organisation at the same time to achieve the same effect.

But in the real world changing the clock is simpler.

Hey some of them take an entire Saturday off to go to a family friendly demonstration holding witty signs in front of their state capitol!

Look at the SPOT prices tonight and you'll understand the resistance to subsidizing airconditioning.

>Now they are betting that Mythos will provide them with some edge. Personally, I don't believe that Mythos is such a game changer They're just buying their own hype.

They just ran the entire Iran campaign on Opus. They know what that can do, they know what this can do.

Europe was beaten down, broke and simply kaput.

Then it was split in a camp dependent on the US and a camp dependent on the USSR.

Both the US and USSR spent decades keeping us together but definitely not united.

This runs deep in European political culture.

Until 2 years ago many Dutch people had more in common and more trust in Americans than <insert European country>. If only because half of them go broke once every generation.

Adding a bot on Telegram is a single command. It's super easy and natively supported.

Other channels are available, there's like 15+ officially supported now.

I use Hermes at home. Swapped out Openclaw for this. It seems to work better with smaller contexts, chuncking it up in smaller pieces.

I don't code with it, I use Claude for that. But what I do do: it's a sysadmin for my homelab. It has a read-only mcp server to check the k8s status and has it's own ssh access to fix stuff after I approve it per session.

It's magical. Each morning I get a small update whether the backup ran, if pods are stuck or behaving weirdly etc... Since the entire homelab is GitOps I can always reverse a change made by the agent.

I am now adding Nextcloud and moving calendar offline, from Google to my own hw. I barely touch it anymore, manually. In stead I sent a quick voice note on Telegram and 30 sec later I get a screenshot 'proving' it worked.

That's just the easiest way to sell it to the Dutch public probably.
