The EU negotiates as a bloc. If the trade deal includes $750 billion in energy purchases and $600 billion in investments, those commitments came from the EU's negotiating mandate, not from separate members acting on their own.
Maybe some of the EU member states don't like how the "union" operates. In that case, they should pull a Brexit. We already saw it happen once.
I'm not sure where you're getting your information, but this is a quote from the European Commission itself:
> The political agreement of 27 July 2025 is not legally binding. Beyond taking the immediate actions committed, the EU and the US will further negotiate, in line with their relevant internal procedures, to fully implement the political agreement.
You might consider updating your mistaken prior beliefs.
Edit: I see another comment made the same point. I'll have to presume that after you've been presented with this new information, you'll realize that you are in fact very wrong.
> 1. I already have an ebook library in Calibre that I access on other devices, the sync feature allows me to seamlessly integrate into my other devices.
just out of curiosity: I sync my Kindle with Calibre in a very seamless way, too. what is the main difference here?
If you are referring to syncing over USB or sending via email, that's the difference. Calibre can be run as a service, allowing KOReader to access it wirelessly. You can copy books and sync the progress back to Calibre for sharing between devices.
Same, I also find that point of his perplexing as I could always sync my Tolino (German Kobo clone) to Calibre out of the box without any third party tools or hacks.
> 1. Custom file system: this means I can ssh into it, but I can't rsync my bibliography into it, since it won't display regular pdf files whose name is not hashed and registered in some sort of index. Moreover, the lack of a Linux client meant it was very hard to put my pdfs on it, or extract my notes from it.
FWIW, rmfuse [0] allows you to mount the reMarkable cloud and you have easy access to sync with real filenames.
> RMfuse provides access to your reMarkable Cloud files in the form of a FUSE filesystem. These files are exposed either in their original format, or as PDF files that contain your annotations. This lets you manage files in the reMarkable Cloud using the same tools you use on your local system.
I did find a few similar projects back when I had the reMarkable, but none quite worked well for me. I'm sure this will help some other people out there though! :)
