Because french was historically the language of diplomacy back when the rules were made. This is also mentioned in the article.

He also listed uninhabited Australian islands and a US military base on an otherwise uninhabited UK island as separate countries. So I would guess China decided that the country list is basically meaningless.
Not yet. The project was announced in November 2024. First results are expected in summer 2025.
Ecosia and Qwant are currently developing their own index in a joint venture.
Except Porsche did continue to develop military vehicles after WW2. The Leopard 1 was a Porsche design. Porsche dropping out of the military industry was not an effect of post-war politics but a business decision that happened much later.
Not sure if this is a joke, but in case it is not: the relevant part of the post is not the highlighted sentence, but what comes right after that.
1945 was 80 years ago. None of the people working at any german company today were even born when the Holocaust happened. I don't see how that topic is relevant when it comes to buying decisions today. Punish corporations for stuff that they actually can influence today, not for stuff that nobody alive is even responsible for.
All countries associated with the European Broacast Union can participate.
Theoretically yes, but associated members (in contrast to full members) still need to be approved on a case by case basis.
Active members (as opposed to associate members) of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) are eligible to participate; [...]. Associate member broadcasters may be eligible to compete, dependent on approval by the contest's reference group.[49]

Eurovision is organised by the European Broadcasting Union, which includes basically all countries in the European Broadcasting Area (basically Europe + all of the Mediterranean). Those include Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Israel, Armenia, etc. They have always been allowed to participate. Australia is an outlier. They just got a special invitation.
You can sync with notes in your cloud. I guess if you set it up in a cloud folder that is shared between users, then multiple people might be able to share notes. I did not try it though.
I am not familiar with Google Keep Notes, so I do not know how that one works.
Edit: wrote "calendar" instead of "notes" for some unknown reason
I can recommend SilentNotes, an actual European (and open source) simple note taking app.

The original idea behind the political concept "Eurafrica" (strategic partnership between Africa & Europe), while originated in Germany, has no specific connection to Germany today. It is used as a political term once in a while (especially in France, due to their connections to Africa). Read the wikipedia entry if you want to know more.
But none of this has any relevance to this meme, because here Eurafrica is just used as a portmanteau of "Europe" and "Africa" without any further connection to the political concept of the same name.
