Ok, you’ve got me puzzled. What’s a US state named after a UK (or English) queen where cannabis is legal ?

The only female named states I can think of are Georgia, Virginia and Louisiana, none of whom have been Regent.

First sentence of the article

“new default Cinnamon theme coming to Linux Mint 22.1 later this year.”

Well, I’m with you on Putin can go get fucked. But I think you’re misinformed on the “petrodollar empowering Putin”.

The dominance of the US dollar as the currency for settlement of international crude oil contracts advantages predominantly the US and secondarily countries with strong currencies in open exchange with the USD. It disadvantages weaker currencies and those with poorer trade terms with the US such as Venezuela and Russia now the latter has been cut off from the western banking system.

Putin being forced to trade his crude in non dollar denominated contracts is one of the (several) reasons the sale price of muscovy crude is now significantly lower than the equivalent from other countries. (TL;DR the sanctions are working).

China has long been lobbying unsuccessfully to break the petrodollar/USD as world reserve currency and failed so far.

The major US banks are just agents of a (very successful) US foreign policy post WW2. They are indeed evil, but not for this reason

Well I came to say “takes one to know one” but bigger threat than Russia and NK is a big call.

What else woukd you expect from a Lib ? Heart and empathy removal is a pre-requisite to join the party.

For me this falls in the category of “sit back and eat popcorn”. Both sides are arseholes I don’t mind which loses, in fact it’s a shame they all can’t lose

Nothing. You can only invoke article 7 against a specific country, and with 2 there’s insufficient votes to invoke article 7 against either. You can’t do a “twofer”.

You have to remember this was considered an unthinkable nuclear option when the treaties were draw up. That two countries could both diverge so far from the EUs ethos would horrify the (possibly naive) original founders.

As that worn quip goes

They can also hijack the connection of a connected box (ethernet over hdmi) or via a connected phone (bluetooth & chromecast iirc)

Wtf ? On what planet is the BBC “left centre” it is as establishment as it gets

To suspend Hungary (your first point) legally requires unanimity of all EU countries aside from the one to be censured. (Article7)

Unfortunately Slovakia has recently elected a pro putin govt who will now block any attempt to deal with Orban.

There was a short window between the end of the Polish far right PiS being in power and Slovakia changing leadership when it could have been done. Unsurprisingly Orban was very compliant during that period and as soon as he regained an ally is back to his old tricks.

There is no legal way to _do what you suggest

Edit, missed a word

Disappointing tgat we arent when you put it that way

I can’t work out if this is well intentioned ignorance or trolling, so I’ll give it the benefit of the doubt and a serious answer.

The first point is there are a huge number of threats to privacy and your online and data security from connecting to the internet even in western countries.

VPNs are not just for protection from govt abuse, in fact their efficacy there is far lower than for several other use cases.

If you’re in the US (for example) and with one of the biggest ISPs then every DNS request being made is (was anyway, I assume still is) logged and your internet usage is then sold off to data brokers to profile you.

So yeah, dont trust your ISP, and if you’re dealing with a VPN that wants all that info then find a better one (proton or mullvad for exampke, you can pay with monero or bitcoin or even cash by snail mail)

Damn, that’s disappointing at a quick scan. Will read in properly and fact check later. Thanks.

Got any stats on coal increasing to share ? Last I saw they were decomming significant quantities of coal stations

They have also been installing solar powerplants at a lightning rate. They installed more solar in 2023 than the US has in total according to an article I read a few months ago.

It’s not about saving the planet though, they import the bulk of their fossil fuels, moving to renewables reduces their fuel import dependency

I have considerably more characters than 6 at lloyds
