If you are in the UK and thumbing up this post, is that considered a terrorist action. Be careful out there…

Yeah, without the grid scale energy storage, this is little more than green washing. I think we should utilise the UK portfolio of wind turbines as close as 100% as possible before building any more.

Don’t you fear that it’ll be seen as escalatory?

That’s a mighty dangerous game. Two things will happen if this will happen:

1. Your economy will collapse. Some crucial US goods and services are the only game in town.
2. US will turn away from it’s old western allies towards the autocratic countries of the world.

I fear it’s not enough. Not by half.

What can they do? They’re wiped out, democratically at least until the mid terms. Considering the speed of events, the mid term is too late.

that issue dissapears if the country has a good amount of nuclear or hydroelectric in the mix.

It also disappears if we have copious energy storage.

If we are talking non nuclear renewables, I understand that the UK is in an enviable position regarding wind, being one of, if not, the windiest nations in Europe. If I haven’t misremembered maybe we should prioritise wind generation. Leave geothermal to places like Iceland, or maybe the nations around the Pacific Rim.

TBH, it’s all indoctrination, or non of it is. The word “indoctrination” has taken on negative connotations (maybe it always was a fright word). However, I think, focussing on the word and it’s connotations is, perhaps concentrating on the wrong thing. I think the spotlight should be shifted to the content of how we bring up the kids.

It’s called indoctrination. This is ironic as Christian Nationalists are in the vanguard against Transvestite Story Hour and panic over all the gay/transexual/satanic grooming that’s going on.

Trump’s vision is so myopic that he can’t see beyond his own nose. Same for is ability to care. If the US reneges on promises made as detailed in the Budapest Memorandum what chance will they have in other such promises. Countries are watching. This is doubly ironic as Trump keeps talking about nuclear war.

Can you deport into a meat grinder?

Trouble is, with the funding gone, the choice they now have is fight and die, or negotiate a settlement and most probably die. But slower. Probably. Ultimately, an independent Ukraine was a wonderful dream. Time to wake up. And with it any faith that the US will have to keep it’s promises.

“Cash or card”.

Not so sure that it can’t be tailored to big businesses. Regulations carve out exceptions all the time based on employee count, annual turnover, customer count (hits), etc

Criticising Israel can be antisemitic. Just check out the IHRA definition of antisemitism . Basically you can’t say that:

• Israel is a racist endeavour
• Comparing Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.
• Say that they use murder (especially of Christians) for ritual purposes.

Not gonna lie, this is kinda a refutation of the whole open source model. I was led to believe that it shouldn’t matter who writes the code, as long the code is able to be interrogated/corrected.

If this is any guide, maybe there should also be an upper age limit, too.

Well the devil is in the detail. However, what appears is being mooted is it will only affect big social media corporations. A Lemmy instance is hardly big business. Not that I’m discounting creeping regulation moving into the fediverse.

I could have sworn that this story has done the rounds already. I guess it’s an update on that story as he has now resorted to litigation.
