If you start the company in China and ship to EU. If you start it in a EU country I think local laws will stop you much faster than the EU commission. Still there are plenty of grifters that start fraudulent companies in the EU and roll assets into a new one as they bankrupt, and they can operate for decades before they eventually get stopped.
The TEMU shoppers I know are all older and plenty rich and just basically don’t realize/comprehend that there is a cost to shopping low quality toxic garbage beyond what the see on their receipt. I don’t think cost of living crisis is fueling TEMU, its the desire for unbounded consumption + gamification of shopping.
Music apps especially went downhill, spotify and tidal etc need to offer apis so we can integrate several sources in one app. They used to offer much more. I was able to import my library into spotify once (thoigh it could only hold 10k item back then). I want all my music in one place, not 4 apps
I have Gonic (a subsonic server) on my home server and my client is a perl script. It basically allows me to search for an album, present a prompt for me to select the best match, and then builds up a playlist for the tracks to pass to MPV. That’s pretty much all I ever need. I would gladly dump the whole spotify client if they had an API to do the same (even if the queue is a long stream of data instead of tracks).
The problem is the dependencies, getting hunspell installed and finding the dictionary files for example. I normally only get a new computer every few years and each time stuff like that is a new pain. And dont even start with treesitter, i cant compile anything on windows and always end up using prebuild dlls.
Can someone explain the “Fontainebleau art deco style”? I have been to Fountainbleau and I remember it as much older renaissance style architecture and geometric/baroque gardens.
