Sounds like enough material for a 3 hour youtube documentary

Poland gave us Chopin, Marie Curie, kerosene, vodka and the Witcher 3/Cyberpunk 2077.

Anything server or database related is already on Linux. Managed by professionals. The problem are the desktops. Those still run windows, it's a walled garden. Government windows licenses are dirt-cheap. support is ubiquitous and almost everyone knows how to work with windows. The cost of switching is just too high.

Time for Canada to join the EU?

Ha, that is if you get to keep yours. It's not looking good.

It's good to see Poland green shifting their electrical grid. Hopefully this can alleviate the dependency on coal plants during peak hours and nurture more renewable energy over time. But, I really don't like Europe's general dependence on China for green energy. I hope politicians will finally learn to not trust autocratic regimes with the whole ongoing Trump thing.

Oh sorry I thought everyone knew.. The thing is, his country is being invaded, everything he has and every loved one he knows are fighting for their lives and survival against a brutal psychotic dictator

It’s a bubble avoidance strategy. They are also much better funded and connected and because of this they are commonly the original source of important news and I think that needs to be credited. I don’t mind bias that much as long as reporting itself is factual. You can adjust for bias but can’t adjust for falsehood unless you’re an expert at everything. It’s not that I don’t read other sources but there’s plenty of that kind of content here already.

Great... wonderful...

Windfall for European arms makers as Brussels ramps up defence spending Weapons manufacturers across Europe are rushing to secure contracts after EU countries announced plans to dramatically increase defence spending. Share prices of European arms companies had already risen sharply following the US decision to suspend military aid to Ukraine [...] Some deals are already in motion [...] [After Starlink satellite network-owner Elon Musk has raised concerns about the network being used for military purposes] Europe is looking at alternatives. Paris-based Eutelsat, the world’s third-largest satellite operator by revenue, is in talks to replace Starlink in Ukraine [...] On 6 March, Italian company Leonardo signed a deal with Turkey's Baykar for a joint venture to produce drones as defence companies rush to respond to the surge in European military spending [...] Increased demand may revive the EU's Eurodrone project, a four-nation development programme involving Germany, France, Italy and Spain [...] Meanwhile, the Czech Republic announced it will extend its Czech ammunitions initiative with Denmark, Canada, Portugal and Latvia, which already supplied Kyiv with 1.6 million rounds of large-calibre ammunition last year [...] Overall, the biggest winners from the increase in EU defence spending are likely to be Germany's Rheinmetall, France's Thales and Saab of Sweden, while BAE systems of the UK is well-positioned to benefit from increased military budgets across EU nations [...]

This guy sees Commies, I've also heard people compare Trump to their highschool bullies, abusive parents or asshole bosses. I think Trump just conjures up the worst memories you have involving oppression because that's what he embodies.

You nailed it. I agree completely. This is getting a bit off topic now but it’s worth talking about. Sorry for the novel. It’s how I am. I don’t know if you remember. In 2021 Spring in America was a time when Americans had a renewed sense of hope (and for the first time in a long time, labor rights). That’s when that sub antiwork took off and it was before they paraded a Reddit mod stooge on Fox to mock the concept of labor rights. Those short few months— the air changed. People were starting to realize we have collective power. That we were underpaid. People started quitting in droves. They changed jobs. There were many spots opened we had many die or become disabled, after all. I drove across America twice during that period and people were quitting their shitty jobs in droves—Arizona, Kansas, Ohio—all the same. Sometimes during the shift they’d up and leave. Incredible, I remember thinking. But. Then—big tech companies started to lay their workers off. Starting with Facebook most loudly. Zuckerberg release a statement that they “over hired” during the pandemic. Many tech companies followed suit laying-off in the same or similar amount. Using the same reasoning. Amazing—they all over hired. I raise one eyebrow. The atmosphere in the air was still up but it began to mix with a foulness. I wondered then—is tech working together strategically? Maybe. The tech layoffs were so many that NSA then hired a new public facing woman who started a public campaign to hire the laid off tech workers from the tech companies. The NSA even said smoking wasn’t an issue. Now, I raise both eyebrows. Tech CEOs all congregate in Washington now and rifle through America’s treasury and fire Government Agents. They do this for many reasons—but do we see the connection here? Economically they delete the federal safety net as the largest American job provider. Over the preceding few years leading up to the American Presidential election, American news outlets pounded that the economy was “bad.” Prices of goods were out of control because of…the supply chain? But when looking at the numbers, the price of goods were being raised much higher than was needed to cover their losses. It is no longer price gouging but an economic siege, who is there to stop them? 2022-2024. Profits soar. Layoffs continue. Prices increase. Trillion in unsecured PPP loans rock the Real Estate market. Interest rates rise—too little too late. Americans collectively fall back into deep dispair. A constant pressure on all of our chests. We are sensitive—we all feel it. The Biden Administration was better than other Administrations at pursuing Anti-trust cases. In my opinion, it was another too little too late, but still appreciated. The signal, or so I hoped, was that if Harris got in that the DoJ would continue to pursue anti-trust, criminal conspiracy, and price market manipulation cases that Biden Admin scored on. If anyone isn’t familiar— Biden admin was dunking guilty verdicts on Big Pharma companies to the tune of billions for criminal conspiracy to rig prices with competitors and other unsavory economic criminality. I’m a criminal defense lawyer in practice but I wanted to switch to prosecuting Anti-Trust. Now, I don’t know. The air is curdled. TLDR it my central point: I believe that the Corporate heads colluded together in mid-2021 to crush the short lived optimism we all felt in America. They manipulated the labor market and worked together to manipulate the consumer market. This effect is felt collectively all over the world but very much so domestically in America. What we are in now—the globe and domestically as Americans—is an Economic Siege. You feel it. I feel it. Corporations have become so large they rival the power of Nation States. They move like ghosts through the sphere of International Relations. I call them, Geldgheist or “Money-Ghost.” We are no longer in a uni-polar world where America is top. But we are also not in a normal multi-polar world where only Nation States hold power. We are in a new era where these Geldgheist bastards, whom have no nationality or loyalty except to their own individual power, seek to topple all Western Democracy and corrupt our lands. We cannot wage traditional land war on them. They have no land to physically attack. No soldiers to fell. So, the only option we (the West and our Pacific Allies) have is economic war. Citizens Boycott. Governments freeze assets, break up and dismantle the Techbro Geldgheist Corporations. Straight from the mouth of Geldgheist Musk himself, “[…] If that [American] pillar falls, the whole roof comes crashing down. There’s no place to hide. There’s no place to run.“ We face this together now or we lose Western and Pacific democracy — there is no other option.

Well then all they have to do is quit starting them. Easy peasy.
