@thefinn Remember... only your employer benefits from a good hand over. You will never be thanked or appreciated for it.

@elston_ This is a very reasonable idea. It would certainly avoid a drawn out and ultimately pointless exercise.

@elston_ Maybe Trump made a mistake insisting that the EU should increase its financial commitments? With that increase, comes demands, and the demands, given how stable an ally Trump has been lately, are very reasonably to end dependence on US technology as much as possible.

If the US does not change its stance, Nato will slowly disintegrate or be pulled apart into an EU centric part, and "the rest" which the US will manage, and very little cooperation between the two will exist.

@mr_penguin What is interesting is how many journalists just ignore this. I've spoken to a lot of them, and among the ones that respond the most common reply is "yeah, that's not good, but what can we do". Then they go back to sleep.

@xgranade I like transphobic people. I call them sane, and trans people sick. I believe that trans people should be healed with a good priest or psychologist, so they can become sane, heterosexual people again.

meeting a boring little bureaucrat, who gets to live a life of luxury on my tax money, and who is most likely a socialist?

I mean, if I was offered to throw pies at his face, like the clown he is, I'd probably do it, but seriously?

But this just shows how disconnected our revolting civil servants are, and how the fact that they just coast along on tax payers money, stolen money, has completely warped their view of reality.

Sometimes I feel like the people in the public sector live on another planet, completely separated from reality.

I was invited by the embassy to participate in a survey to "map the business climate" of the country I'm in.

As a reward for this, wait for it... I get to enter a _lottery_, and.... wait for it.... the lottery, if I won, would result in a 30 minute meeting with the ambassador.

Jesus Christ, do they have a high opinion of themselves!

Why on earth would I want to waste my life

@me @jolla If they are true believers in open source, and if they do earn money on the hardware ,they should definitely want this.

If their idea is to lock people into services fees and generally block other OS:s from running on their phones, they should definitely not accomodate anyone else.

It's just a question of if they want to be open or closed, support digital sovereignty, or digital slavery.

@truthbait This is plausible and also not the first time. I think in the end of hte 70s/80s it was common with an extra little fuel tax/fee to compensate for high oilprices then.

At least my plane to spain was not affected.

What they also are trying to do is to pack the planes more by cancelling flights if they have multple flights to the same destination.

@shortstories A crushing victory!

If their ism is red, their thoughts are dead?

@truthbait Will be exciting to see if I'll be able to travel back home or if I will have to extend my workation in southern spain for a while.

@ChrisMayLA6 You're dodging a bullet there. Most, if not all, government investments in so called "green" technology have been a huge fiasco.

Only recently did swedens government burn through 600 million GBP in Northvolt, and another couple of 100 in Stegra.

But rest assured that the CEO:s and leadership got at least a few 100s of thousands of GBP, so at least they won't starve like the retired people who's funds the government is throwing away.

@me @jolla They should make it smaller, 3.5 inch, lighter, smaller resolution screen and more privacy oriented.

Adding to that, being able to run ubuntu touch on it would be good as well.

@wjmaggos Good thank you, and yours?

@wjmaggos Anyone believing in the modern concept of the state, also accepts that it rules based on, ultimately, violence or the threat of violence.

States preaching "peace" and abstaining from force, is nothing but hypocritical.

Try not paying your taxes, and then behold the use of force against you.

If more people realized this, we would then finally be ready to kill all politicians and move on from the childish fiction of the nation state.

@ChrisMayLA6 Business as usual...
