I have few hypothesis:

  1. They know what they are doing, and the goal of current actions is to make rich americans even richer (at the cost of whole other world). Because any kind of crisis causes the same thing: poor gets poorer, rich gets richer (with some level of shuffling in place).
  2. They are approaching things using the "startup approach", using the Zucks motto "move fast and break things", without taking a second to think things through.
  3. They truly believe that those things will make it better (which I strongly disagree with, because things will get better only after any of those tariffs are lifted, regardless if it happens after the current market storm stabilizes or before)

Neither option has anything good about it, though I am not sure if it makes sense to speculate about reasoning anyways: both hypothesis give mostly similar "next steps" predictions. My take is that next steps will be advancing even more towards "america only", either by NATO speculation (which have already started), or by getting closer with the russian regime, or anything else.

It also is usually cheaper to do it that way. I’ve noticed quite a while ago the difference in subscription prices on website vs Apple Pay.

It is really sad to admit that for me LinkedIn actually was useful: even though I was contacted by spammy recruiters, the matching ones were there too.

I wish other services were more popular in Europe, example being https://djinni.co/ — an anonymous job/candidate board built in Ukraine. I really liked the service in the past, though EU-based companies usually do not pos jobs there…

Yeah… I know the feeling :)

Yeah, I see your point, and it kind of makes sense to see bankruptcy as an attempt to start clean. I did not know about that, thanks for letting me know.

Still, my take is that Jolla’s products should be considered carefully, and history should be taken into account.

I do not as of now, although I am still very suspicious about the company, partly because of weird “no politics” response when team was asked to claim their stance on full-blown invasion. As a strong reason for it is that Jolla business with russia was being done after Crimea peninsula annexation.

Bottom line: I do not see this platform as being actively involved with warmongering state, but as one that directly supported an ability for it, and a potential risk.

AFAIK, Sailfish OS has quite strong ties with russia. I love the approach and the choice of technology, and enjoyed it a lot (much more than the iOS/Android approach) — the platform is indeed magnificent and has quite a few great things about it. Although, I see relying on Sailfish OS to be quite a risky choice, given their close ties with russia and unknown status of their support of russian version of the OS.

Another one: made in Poland: https://slontorbalski.com/

I've been using a few bags from it — very durable, pretty nice-looking.

Very unexpected to see Polish mBank on the list. That feels really nice thing to know!
