Neither the EU, nor its member states, have the power to make investment decisions on behalf of private companies.

The extra investments pledged under the trade deal would come from private companies, which Brussels conceded it has no power to control.

That's not really up for the EU to decide on.

> 1. I already have an ebook library in Calibre that I access on other devices, the sync feature allows me to seamlessly integrate into my other devices.

just out of curiosity: I sync my Kindle with Calibre in a very seamless way, too. what is the main difference here?

Your personal number is easy to look up online for everybody in any case, jfyi. Not that this is a good thing, though.

> 1. Custom file system: this means I can ssh into it, but I can't rsync my bibliography into it, since it won't display regular pdf files whose name is not hashed and registered in some sort of index. Moreover, the lack of a Linux client meant it was very hard to put my pdfs on it, or extract my notes from it.

FWIW, rmfuse [0] allows you to mount the reMarkable cloud and you have easy access to sync with real filenames.

> RMfuse provides access to your reMarkable Cloud files in the form of a FUSE filesystem. These files are exposed either in their original format, or as PDF files that contain your annotations. This lets you manage files in the reMarkable Cloud using the same tools you use on your local system.

  Are people nowadays not capable of moderation? Purely
  anecdotally, but I mostly see older generations being the
  ones that hop off. Is it because they didn’t grow up with
  this kinda of social media and can’t seem to balance what
  is a perfectly fine way to interact with friends and stay
  updated without pulling a cold turkey on it?

95% of the people I see on the subway every day are glued to their smartphones without interruption the moment they enter the carriage until they leave. And around 80% of the time I get a glimpse of the screen of those it's facebook/instagram/snapchat/<insert your social network of choice>. This is somehow independent of age. So moderation? Balance? Probably depends on the definition.

  If you were a regular user since 2005 and leave now, it does not make any
  difference anymore. The collected data about you is enough to interpolate
  your profile for the next decades.

Does it really matter if you have been on facebook at all? Even if you never joined, people upload their addressbooks with all of their contacts, they upload pictures of people never been on facebook and tag them (and share other information about everyone, which facebook probably is able to use as well). So essentially facebook builds your social graph no matter if you have ever been a member or not.

It does make a difference. Just not to care and to give up is no solution either.
