Rutte works for the Americans literally. NATO is a US alliance. He’s European but can’t contradict his masters.

Public Money, Public Code. All governments should only be using FOSS software.

Surprised this isn’t mentioned more because it’s one of the only true alternatives for all the google feature-set.

Zelensky knows he’s out next year so he’ll promise anything now.

Wonder how Article 5 works here…

Mullvad for VPN anyway.

You’re using an ad hominem fallacy by saying the messenger is the problem and not refuting the evidence itself.

The USA is banning tiktok because it can’t control the platforms messaging in case misinformation is being spread in the USA. Why is it that China can’t also control the spread of this misinformation? Feels like you might be a chauvanist 🤷‍♂️

There’s a lot of evidence out there from American journalists that the Chinese are in fact, not forcing sterilization on the Uighur population or putting them in concentration camps. https://medium.com/@braisedporkblog/debunking-the-uyghur-genocide-a-resource-list-a31dd0ea3d87

Interesting but I’m skeptical that they would develop this if they could simply convert a NG turbine and it would only be 2x less efficient.

The main reason global markets aren’t absorbing the demand is sanction on chinese produced goods. But anyhow it will be interesting to see how the renewable energy boom picks up steam. Jupiter 1 hydrogen gas generator engine is a pretty huge milestone.

To whom/what did they give that money to? Bill Gates gives billions to a foundation he owns that then expeirments with drugs on Africans, triws to block out the sun with metal particles in the atmosphere, and gets countries hooked on Microsoft with free licenses instead of using open source.

I like how they say their own research is Russian propaganda now.

Couldn’t come soon enough.

True

Yes we know Zelensky is an unelected dictator. You don’t need to project.

The sanctions applied by the west have been the best thing that could have happened to the Russian economy in decades. Their import substitution policy accelerated and even after the war they will now have competitive industries that wouldn’t have been considered economically viable had Russia continued to buy cheaper goods from the west. I sometimes think the continuation of the war is collusion by the US and Russia to keep both of their economies doing great at the expense of Europe, who are too busy with their hubris to realise they’re getting screwed here.

Right. The UK it will be a challenge for sure. Any western democracy that’s stuck due to the nature of its governance system indeed. BRICS countries OTOH are some of the fastest installers of solar. Maybe we’re looking at a mean regression for the west.

You may not be aware, but most governments now require storage to be added as part of solar projects.

I can set up 20 GW of solar panels to match the capacity of a 4 GW nuclear power plant. And I can set up 20 GW of PV in a year. China installs about 30 GW of solar capacity in a quarter.

It takes about 8-10 years to build a nuclear power plant. In 8 years, I could have installed the equivalent of 8 nuclear power plants using Solar PV that it would take me to build one nuclear power plant.

You should look at JTX Board. It’s associated with DAVx5 and they do the vjournal and vtodo standards. They have a list of services that support it. https://jtx.techbee.at/sync-with-davx5
