Pivot to technological independence.


“Me and my boss”.


I understand it. There is difference between buying from and shipping via.
Russian giant Rosatom “remains the main foreign player in mining in Kazakhstan” through its Canadian subsidiary Uranium One. Orano, the French state-owned group, also operates in Kazakhstan, but its output is almost entirely destined for Chinese customers.
This is what prompted my question.


Why not buy it from Kazakhstan directly?


He took your rights. Now he’s going to take your guns. So you couldn’t take your rights back.


They know. They don’t care.
Maybe his hard drive has to be checked.


Good.

But if we increase the Linux share even 10 times (from 1% to 10%) - it’s going to put a huge strain on them.
So adding state/eu sponsored “sources of truth” (in addition to existing mirrors within the eu) would make some sense.


Can someone please copy the text? Thanks.


I’m not sure Kia needs to be close to Germany. They just need cheap labour somewhere within the EU.


Independent mirrors will solve the problem (partially). If they restrict access we’ll effectively “fork” it and take from there (at this point we can ignore ip laws or whatever).


TLDR; cheap labour.
As for her salary, she earns €1,300 per month. “Good compared to other companies,” she adds. And later on that will rise. Kia says the average at the facility is €2,400 per month. That is substantially higher than the country’s average monthly salary across the entire economy, which official figures show , externalwas €1,403 in 2023. But at the same time it is considerably lower than the EU-wide average of €3,417.
Broken here in the UK.
They have cheaper money so scale. Always has been a problem.
