@bemyak Oh dear. Precision in paying taxes up to the 4th decimal digit, sure.

Scaleway helpfully marks the total in a different colour so it stands out.

Thanks to #Nemo, #Eurovision returns to #Switzerland for the first time since I was born. Not bad!

Also, the 1990s reclaim the name Nemo after Disney stole it in 2003.

Any chance for to be in a city suitable for , like Lugano or Basel? Imagine commuting from Milan or Strasbourg! (Not as easy as Copenhagen-Malmö but still.)

I suppose Zurich is most likely, but Lausanne and Bern recently invested in facilities for major events as well.

https://secondhandsongs.com is an impressive resource for song translations and adaptations. (Though probably driven by royalties arbitrage needs.)

For example, it has an impressive 450 versions of "Solidarity forever":

If only my knowledge of EU law had the desired impact this fast every time 🙂

My father wanted to pay a EDF French electricity bill from a Belgian bank account, and was told that this was not possible because the bank was outside France

I formulated a stern email to EDF for him, in French, stipulating this was not allowed as a reason within the Single European Payment Area (SEPA), and within a few hours they relented in a grovelling email!

After 5 years I've updated the book wishlist price catalog:
https://archive.org/details/open_libraries_wish_list_booksellers

AbeBooks has prices only for 550k books out of 1015k this time. There's still a lot of low hanging fruit.

One thing changed: / became by far the biggest force in the market in the EU. They're 3 times bigger than the next biggest.

I've finally started browsing 's Capital. It's quite accessible. You can sample a few pages here and there depending on your interest. The first 30 or 100 pages of introductory chapters probably give a better general idea of than some of the textbooks most used in courses.

with which I surprised greybeards at the local hackerspace (which was surprising cause I'm the opposite of a expert):

mv photo{tocheck,supercool}.jpg

is the same as

mv phototocheck.jpg photosupercool.jpg

The shell copies an argument with {,} inside, and each resulting argument has a different part of what's in {}.

Worrying: had its non-profit status revoked in Germany.
https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2024/04/mastodon-forms-new-u.s.-non-profit/

Hopefully this is an egregious mistake by the authorities and gets overturned quickly. In the meanwhile, it must be difficult to do any financial planning without knowing what the tax liabilities will be.

A year ago I recommended asking for help from people with more experience.

Going at it alone with a new USA entity sounds like the opposite direction was chosen.

@renchap Thanks. Yes, I know the 501(c)(3) plans were mentioned already in the 2022 annual report. Let's hope you're right about the gGmbH status but people have different expectations. I don't think a GmbH would be good enough. The main issue is profit redistribution.

There's a giant header "Social networking that's not for sale" on https://joinmastodon.org/ . You can't honestly continue saying that if you're a GmbH. (I've never checked whether it's true for a gGmbH; I just trusted it was.)

I just had to reference this AR6 table 5.8 at work. Scientific consensus on gets explained away all the time because uncertainties, meanwhile a wildly untested business as usual scenario is assumed ok because number go up.
