Without evidence, your comment is just bad mouthing.
I have been involved in academia, including in Brazil, and I don't find academia there any more copycat than any other institution, including top tier ones.

> It's not ideal, but you can use Wise to pay using Pix
If your Wise account is Brazilian. If you have a foreign account, base currency or whatever the name is for that concept, you cannot.

> The whole "American Imperialism" narrative only came about much later.
That is not true: Monroe Doctrine [1] was there before World War II. Actually, 120 years before.

It is simply Prosody + Conversations + Siskin [1], so I'd say that many people have had their eyes on their code.
Specific security audits would have to be searched for, though.

If nothing has changed in a few years, the dependency is only for the EUV machines, and that company was acquired by ASML.
So keeping the company in USA is a favour they do to the country, not that they rely on it.

Unfortunately, Kagi has a similar problem.
Before, I felt it would search exactly the terms I wrote.
Now, it freely ignores some of the terms, and I find myself prefixing most of my queries' words with plus sign (+) so it enforces the search.
_Personally_, I feel the quality of Kagi's search has decreased, lately.
However, I still prefer it to other search engines.

In the last ten years, USA more than doubled the imports from EU [1], mostly machinery and vehicles, as well as other manufactured (i.e., industrialised) products such as chemicals.
In average, there is 200 billion USD/year [2]unbalance between imports from and exports to EU.
Now, imagine a war breaking in Europe, and overnight medicine and machinery [3] lacking in USA.
And those are products that need know-how, it is not something that any government can solve soon. Besides the 800 billion USD suddenly removed from the economy.
For better or for worse, we are all interdependent. And no matter how much we want to believe we can simply show a middle finger to our allies when it is convenient for us, the reality is that the interdependence in the real world, not in the demagogic one of political nonsense discourses, is a fact.

I might be mistaken, but as far as I remember, there were NATO troops (that were not US troops) in Afghanistan, for decades, not because any European country declared war to Afghanistan.
I am not expert in history, but I cannot recall Europeans using US troops in an active war since creation of NATO. The opposite can be said in this century, though.
I do not deny that having the back of US, that has possibly the biggest military in the world, is favourable for European countries.
But I am absolutely tired of this discourse that NATO only benefits the others, and that USA doesn't get any benefit from it.
It is beneficial for all parts, and that is the reason it is an alliance. And USA has used it for its benefit for quite long; thus, it is not unreasonable that allies might rely on its help.
Besides, it is beneficial for USA to keep Europe stable and in peace — most clearly, for macro-economic reasons.

I haven't gone in detail on the draft, but what is nuts is that those are exempt, as well as everyone who uses a service not-for-profit.
So, if you self-host [1], you don't need to adhere to the legislation.
But, wait… Are you telling me that security officials are allowed to use not their self-hosted infrastructure, but use public one to send (I assume, based on their exemption) confidential data?
And, as @WA proposed, will be a list of contacts of these officials given to all for-profit organisations?
What a stupid joke it is!

I guess this calculator [1] and tools such as [2] and [3] might help you, as well.

> You are lying, Alexandre de Moraes used illicit instruments and acted against the Brazilian constitution, not just once, but multiple times
>
> he no longer followed the constitution even before January 8
Would you please provide references for us that don't know this background?
> As a supreme court judge, he has unlimited powers and has abused it, and despite not being the only judge in the country, he concentrates everything related to Bolsonaro to himself.
That is not how it works.
I won't even get into the separation of the "Three Powers" (legislative, executive and judiciary): he shares "the power" with other 10 supreme-court judges [1], and he is not even the president of it!
Therefore, your comment seems off.
> Don't believe what the person above says, he's probably left-wing and supports the illegalities of the Brazilian supreme court.
That is an unfounded _ad hominem_ attack.
But let us present some facts:
* De Moraes is known for his conservative, and not left-wing, positions [2]; as a matter of fact, on Wikipedia it is written "Alexandre de Moraes sent armoured vehicles to suppress left-wing demonstrations."
* opening the tweet's author page [3], I get suggestions of Twitter of some similar authors, such as Tucker Carson, Robert Kennedy Jr. and Libs of TikTok; a quick scan of them show they are all conservative sources;
* opening the other tweets of the author [3], it is clear he is a conservative, defender of Donald Trump; let us remember that Donald Trump is an ally of Bolsonaro.
It is not difficult to put it all together and see those "files" should be taken with A LOT OF GRAIN OF SALT, to put it politely.
Also, it is widely known that Bolsonaro wasn't a great president, and that his supporters (and himself) intensively attack De Moraes.
Besides, what a bizarre situation: Brazil got two presidents impeached, and they did not make such a steer on the legal decision. But Bolsonaro is being investigated for his attempted coup d’etat, and instead of collaborating with the Justice system, he is attacking a Supreme Court's judge. That, itself, raises a lot of suspicion on both his attitudes and the news surrounding it.

Maybe it is the way described in https://useplaintext.email/#outlook-desktop . Or is that exclusively for Windows?

I have a similar work-flow, but I made a shell function for that (an "alias") called `email`:
email ()
{
export TMP_EMAIL_FILE=$(mktemp -t email_XXXXXXXXXX.eml) && vim -c 'set filetype=mail' -c 'set tw=72' -c 'set spell' "${TMP_EMAIL_FILE}" && {
cat "${TMP_EMAIL_FILE}" | xsel -ib
}
}

> If you won't listen to my update, why should I read and respond to your question?
I think there is a different perspective that you are not considering: one hates to listen to your and other N people updates, every single day. And, most of it, is not new or not correlated to one's work.
> Please spend five minutes of your day actually working with your coworkers, instead of making extra work for them later on because you can't be bothered to sit still and listen for five minutes.
Again, there is another perspective: because one wants to give you enough attention, one wants to have a one-on-one communication, independently of the time-box or shallowness of stand-up meetings.
When I was junior, I used to think that (daily) stand-up meetings were an incredible idea. But on time, I realised they are busy work and do not represent, at all, "working with your coworkers", as you said. Actually, quite the contrary: it is shallow work, and that isn't as relevant as the deep work coworkers do in, for example, pair debugging sessions.
It is true those companies you referred to were bought and their IP has helped ASML in _EUV_, but they had 20 years of European IP before that, all related other parts of the lithography machine (and not EUV) that made ASML the company it is.
If you think that complexity is only in (light) source for EUV (is it already profitable for ASML, by the way?), then you have no idea the complexity of that machine!
