If this is applied in orders made in the country, then in order for imported goods to be circulated in the country, a third party will need to exist. Like a company in Germany buying and reselling to Ireland. There would be no direct purchases. That third party by law in every EU county needs to operate with some profit, no less than 5%. So eventually it will be possible but practically unlikely to have stuff in scale.

For example Israel exports lemons, somewhat cheaply. If there's an added 5% AND it is illegal to do drop shipping from Israel, this will mean that lemons need to be transported to Germany and then "re sold" to Ireland. So in order to have 5% profit, the total price to the consumer can go up to 15% maybe. And that might make sense to import lemons from another country like turkey.

Also have in mind that Ireland is a tax heaven in EU terms. This limits companies that care for their profit A Lot to start looking for alternatives for their procurements.

As for the end consumers, it will be probably more difficult to buy stuff. Ebay, amazon, and generic eshops will not be allowed to ship there things made in Israel.

A side effect is that people will have this rule in their mind, and will make it their belief that we do not collaborate with Israel, which can have an effect on people traveling from there to Ireland. Of course this can cascade to other countries.

That's not correct at all. Did you visit lenovo.com lately?

This is no news. Lenovo has been offering a variety of windows or no OS for years.

That's weird. I'm changing tires every 2 to 3 years and so is the norm in Europe.

It seems that there are no search filters. That's making me stay away. In Reddit you can search and specify results to be from specific subreddits.

Here, where multiple instances can have similar topic groups i cannot search within them. That's keeping me from engaging.

Search is key.

That's not entirely correct. Have you tried using a 60hz and 165hz monitor? The difference is not slight.

Can't it be reverse engineered? It's java bytecode.

It's pretty pretty hard to have this achieved with how the platform is today. Content is one (communities and posts) but lack of WTF is going on even for tech savvy people is another thing. Try asking a non user to go to the main entrance place for Lemmy (like googling it). Then ask them to find something of interest. Then ask them to create an account so they can comment. Those pretty fundamental things are non-existent.

Pretending that they exist or are easy to use is like saying Arch Linux is easy or even driving is easy. It is not. You need tons of preparation. The above take 1 minute in all common social media. Unless those three things are clear for people 20 to 40 yo, Lemmy will never gain traction.

It might help to read it once more then 🙂

Not entirely. CF can protect you from DDOS of up to a few millions of calls per minute. Your home router would melt with that traffic. They also act as a firewall if you enable the proxy dns feature. They do a sanity check before forwarding the call. Also a home router cannot do this. And there's more.

I'm from Greece. I've heard numerous stories from the victims themselves, the ones that managed to survive. This is all true and just the tip of the iceberg.

It happens to the Evros river as well where people from Turkey come from.

There was a shipwreck in Pylos with hundreds drowned last year.

And there are many cases from people that are rescued that later are returned or tortured.

The ones that manage to get a staying permit as official refugees, are treated by most government offices with inequality and lies.
