The narrative that the EU targets China in a way somehow analogous to Trump is also weird. It just follows a clearly defined law. There was an actual investigation on who and how makes competition unequal to EU company, not claims out of nowhere as in the US.

Let’s talk about others. I invite the Dutch people to tell us who they would like to see rise in this election.

PVV has been dropping in polls for more than a year now. Let’s hope this is the last time they are in a ruling coalition.

I see many people here interested in what it is actually used for

Motorn driver en luftseparationsenhet (ASU) som kondenserar atmosfärisk luft så att syre och kväve separeras till rena gaser som kan användas i ståltillverkningsprocessen.

Which DeepL loosely translates to

The engine drives an air separation unit (ASU) that condenses atmospheric air to separate oxygen and nitrogen into clean gases that can be used in the steelmaking process.

The motor is going to a steelwork in India.

Searching the web, I found this thing for football updates:

I don’t get it. What should the brexiters railing about Poles make others realise? That if you are rich, you destroy vocational schools to get richer, get people from abroad to do basic service and construction jobs that almost nobody in your country is educated to perform, and then make them the scapegoat once your own policies fail the people?

And in a generally quite good journal…

Well, science hippies and their humour ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I mean, not that worse things haven’t passed the peer review…

Links or it didn’t go through the peer review

Is it? What do you mean by that?

Kommun workers use Windows or iOS. University workers use mainly Windows or iOS, though computer labs usually have Linux PCs. Still, the unis usually have their email service managed via Outlook or Gmail services. We have our own data storage, though, e.g., KTH still buys OneDrive. Similarly, we have our own computing clusters, and here, luckily, I have never heard of any Swedish researcher using AWS or anything like that.

I’ve heard good stuff about getting cash out, BUT: a) I have heard good stuff about getting out relatively small amounts of money. Getting large amounts of cash out might be more problematic, idk. Though now it works just as a bank, so it should be as problematic as any bank transfer is… b) For crypto, they explicitly say that there is a limit on how much you can transfer in a day/month. If you operate large amounts of money, this might be a pain (not my case).

You can use Revolut for crypto, if you do not care about anonymity. It is not a crypto wallet sensu stricto, but you can move coins between wallets and Revolut.

Revolut is British.

We need to be careful about this point. We cannot let Trump push the EU to be even milder on Big Tech perpetually breaking all kinds of EU laws (e.g., GDPR, Digital Markets Act). This is about our basic rights, and about an internet that works more for its users and builders, and less for its “owners.”

And I agree. If you have to, for some reason, book a taxi in a European city, you will often get it sooner with Bolt than Uber (my experience from Poland). It is partially because Bolt gives more to the drivers, and they have both apps. It has scooters and Bolt Food. It is available in many places outside of Europe, but unfortunately not Canada, Australia, or New Zealand.

Only recently, I watched The Wind Rises and I loved it. I do not know what it is. It still has the sensitivity and the aesthetics of Ghibli under Miyazaki, which I genuinely love, but at the same time shows a confusing and unobvious real-life story, and very real dilemmas.

Thanks, that is an amazing resource! You can see yearly emissions, which are statistics. And when you click on a country/region, you get the breakdown by energy source for the electricity grid.

Note: Living in Sweden, I am still Polish, and looking at this map is embarrassing to say the least…

I care about two things with the sanctions.

1. Do not buy Russian gas and oil.
2. Do not sell weapons and weaponizable items to Russia. Prevent loopholes where Russia can get the weapons through third countries. And ofc support Ukraine, militarily and generally.

And yes, do not expect change from within coming just from the suffering of the people in the East. Support the opposition and independent media channels. As a Polish, I understand how important that was during the Cold War. But do not have your hopes too high for a quick fix.

I understand, that the data here is per capita, but I thought even per capita in Europe, and especially in Sweden, we install little compared to the rest of the world.

The three leading countries share borders with Russia or Belarus. Is this recognition of the security and resilience advantages of deploying millions of solar panels and thousands of wind turbines compared with a few large fossil and nuclear power stations?
