That’s a shame

I’m quite surprised. Afaik, there should be higher supply of bio farm produces? Don’t know what’s happened.

I imagine this is internal US news, not worldnews through.

So the cat and mouse game continues. I wonder what France and Italy gain from blocking though.

Also, I fully agree with this:

" The VPN industry, however, warns that this creates “a dangerous precedent,” which could have a chilling effect on all the people using these services to protect their privacy and security."

Because AI models:

" Even a picture of one banana and four apples in a line could be flagged because it shares a similar sequence with the Tank Man photo. (ABC News: Graphic by Jarrod Fankhauser / Reuters: Arthur Tsang)

Not naming the manufacturers is very disappointing

It is. So I looked it up:

According to the info I found, Huawei battery systems, and concerning solar panel electricity invertors they mentioned Sungrow, Growatt, and SMA. Growatt has arranged a patch, they claim.

Many of these Chinese systems have little to none (security) updates.

This means that we are at war with Russia.

Needed some time how to phrase my reaction. Russia is at a a hybrid war in Europe in most if not all member states , and at a fullscale war in Ukraine.

The term hybrid warfare is normally a term used to describe a conflict without any direct kinetic confrontation. “Gray zone” and “Non linear Combat” are other like terms.

Here is a link for further reference.

When are our intelligence services start

Maybe they have. And maybe they are also better at not being caught.

Creating more dependencies on crucial stuff isn’t the right way to go…

She, Francesca Albanese, is and has been always a controversial person according to a report from U.N Watch [ed] and this link in JPost

“A report by United Nations Watch on Wednesday is urging democratic nations to impose sanctions on Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on Palestinian human rights, accusing her of promoting antisemitism, supporting terrorism, and spreading misinformation.”

According to the view of some, the whole world must be complicit.

[ed]: typo HRW must be UN watch.

Many mysterious outages of late. Maybe because of energy overload issues , an outdated grid, and or sabotage.

Not exactly surprising

Exactly, because normally ultra processed food contain many free radicals like those mentioned in this Nature 2025 article, but also in this 1995 publication

Link = testcom.com . What is this?

No-one can ever trust Putin ever again.

Yes, It’s all about durability, eco friendly and sustainability. I’m all for that. I just like it when you get stuff ( new or used ofc), that simply keeps functioning for years.

You mean you didn’t know Northvolt was Swedish? What did the Canadian subsidiary do exactly? I mean there have been strange coincidences or sabotages in both afaik…

Good that those EU subsidies which were allocated to Northvolt remain in Europe, as will their tech.

Iirc, CATL held some shares, I wonder if VW/ Scania bought that as well.

FYi, for a lateral analysis to Chinese Spanish relationship, see also this Elcano Royal Institute , basically:

" Spain shares the EU’s threefold vision of China as partner, competitor and rival, and advocates a greater role for its institutions and greater coordination and collective action among its member states to achieve a more balanced relation and overcome a clear bilateral asymmetry in favour of China."

Add: According to some opinions in the FT, Pedro Sanchez , the current PM (socialist party) is sort of a tactical maverick, sometimes seemingly inconsistent, but it’s all about the needs of (his) current political arena.

Tnx for this overview.

It’s hard to find any good info. TIL; GrapheneOs was founded by Daniel Micay, a Canadian. That’s pretty much European too.

To me, it’s about having “de-googling” smartphone OS options. As you seem to be more of an expert, how is safety/ privacy ranked between normal Google Android phones compared to any one of those other OS from that graph; so I undertand at what level were are talking about?

Tnx! Yes, I’ve heard about this option as being safe. I will also consider it, but as E-os claimed to be "smooth ", that would be great too ofc.

Am trying some alt (chat) apps as well atm. Deltachat and Skred. And if you like French, Skred is an option. added:( chat)
