Embarrassing if true. And one more example of why we need a stronger unity, more cohesion, in the EU. Because otherwise big countries can just target one of us specifically to blackmail us.

Not to defend them, but almost every single rich person lobbies for less property and inheritance taxes

You're missing the point of wero I think.

Firstly, its aim is not only person to person payments - that is just the part that is already functional. Online payments will come soon, and physical in-store payments after that, effectively replacing Visa and MasterCard behind the scenes.

Secondly, while adoption may be slower where existing systems are widespread, wero is going to replace many national payment systems, as it did in Germany and France already.

Your mistake is that you assume there's a rational reason for the level of tariffs in the first place - they use a nonsense formula based on trade imbalance

True, but 40% is definitely not small either

Recently switched from FolderSync to Syncthing - using Syncthing-Fork on my android smartphone.

Was easier to set up than expected. If you have lots of devices, read up on the introducer feature, it makes the connecting all devices to each other more convenient.

I recommend activating the time schedule feature for Android Smartphones to save battery, mine is set to run for 5 minutes every hour.

This really could use some EU regulation. But probably not a very simple issue (especially the cameras I believe)

I think it's not a distribution really, more of a set of layers on top of a distribution. Like a blueprint for how to setup a distribution for government use in a standardised way. Or sth like that, I didn't really understand it completely.

Also making our governments dependent on a US organisation seems like a very bad idea, even if it is Ubuntu.

It's a PayPal alternative, but developed in tandem with most European banks. That way, it will at some point also be used as backend for your normal debit and credit card payments, instead of VISA / MasterCard. If I remember correctly.
