I was in Switzerland for 2 last weeks. It’s stupidly cheap there, when you factor the income of the swiss people.

The median income in Switzerland is 1,5 times that of the US, almost 2 times more than Germany and 4,5 times of Poland (the country I come from).

Yes, Switzerland is 2-3 times more expensive than Poland, but I’d take this deal every day of the week.

Nominal value of currency doesn’t matter that much.

Important: I don’t mean the changes in that value. They matter a lot.

No, because I don’t like Milei and his ideas. If it works in Argentina, alt wing all around the world will get political traction.

We will see. I hope you’re right

Metric - Now - Late 2023 (Milei took office in December of that year)

Annual inflation - 30% - 211%

Fiscial balance - Little surplus - -5% of GDP

GDP growth - 3-4,5% - -1,6%

Poverty rate - 36% - 42%

Argentinian economy is doing better now in every metric imaginable, poverty too. This was a discussion about economy, not quality of life.

Previous governments were leftist, Milei is fixing after them.

Yet he massively improved the economy left in a dramatic state by socialists

Mainly because of leftist, almost socialist government.

From a non techical user perspective.

I used unmodified GNOME 40 and 49 for a week. There were few changes, I could absolutely see myself using the older version and not missing much.

In my opinion GNOME 4X is as good as linux DEs get. I would like to see some popular extensions getting official support and native dynamic tiling, but besides that it’s hard to see room for improvement.

Removing X11 is a big deal, but most users won’t see it as such.

How many people were using X11 on GNOME?

Yes, it’s technically a huge change, but regular user won’t see a difference

I must check it out, thanks

Honestly, not much changed since GNOME 40.

Is it a bad thing? No

Do I want more changes? Also no

The only thing missing from GNOME for me is proper dynamic tiling. I’m trying Forge extension, but it feels clunky

International politics ain’t that easy.

Many people in Europe still admire Trump. IIRC Trump has higher support in the EU, than in the US.

In my country (Poland) directly fighting against the US is political suicide.

Edit: I were wrong, Trump approval rate in the EU is around 20%, compared to 30-40% in the US.

Still, international politics isn’t quite as easy as people make it to be.

*in comparison to Trump

No, because our country leaders are actually intelligent. Edit: In comparison to Trump
