The European Union is just a name, a label, I don't think it would too much of a drama to change the name for something more inclusive, even if we do not change the name, who cares anyway? There are already some overseas territories in South America that technically are part of the EU like someone else pointed.
I'm using Eternity, I haven't tried more so I can't compare, but I liked Eternity enough to don't have the need to try others.
Yes, I'm checking now and that's true, old info from me, yesterday from Spain was still Gulf of Mexico, now Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)... Well, tomorrow it will probably be Gulf of America for everyone, they are doing this progressively.
Don't forget Microsoft with Bing maps. At least Google made this just for US users, they made it for everyone.
So happy that I made the change for Linux Mint yesterday and said goodbye to Microsoft forever. Let's not forget that their billions comes from us.
Same here my friend. The news are making money from our attention and fear do wonders for that, there is a chance that things may not be as bad as they look in the news. I had anxiety for weeks until I dropped watching news and now I feel better. I believe that life would go on anyway, bad days come, good days will arrive. Only thing we can do is to focus on what we have control, and when we do not have it, stay strong and wait for the storm to pass, nothing is permanent.
Tibetan Buddhism here, more specifically the Gelug school. Right now my practice is more related to the study of emptiness with my teacher. I want to meditate much more, but lots of bad habits and excuses in the way :')
The funny thing is that some conservative people here in Spain (the normal people, not politicians) are bitching hard about it, they told them to think that it is a really bad thing for them.
Yeah when I said 20 years I wanted to express something that looks distant, I think that we will see a big change sooner. To be honest the plan B I'm working for, I'm trying to make it happen asap, hopefully next year or in two years, I may be overreacting but personally I'm not going to wait for the drama to really begin to take actions.
If you want an example, my last job in telecom was investing hard in automation and while it was doing a poor job at the beginning, it started to do better and better, and while humans were needed, we had to do less work, of course that meant that when someone left the job, my employers didn't look for replacements.
To be honest I don't see the AI doing the job of tech workers to a point we should worry now... But in 20 years? That's another story. And in 20 years if I get fired probably no one will want to hire me, so I'm already working on a plan B.
