Good, don't let a fascist kleptocracy, which will interfere in your election and install a puppet, pressure you before the conditions are suitable. That's before considering how much advantage Russia would make of the situation.

It certainly isn't realistic if you don't start or try.

The question is obviously not if Europe can delete all US tech immediately.

The question is how fast we can decouple from dependencies with the greatest risks.

Completely agree, to the point that there should be mobile basic manufacturing capability. Ad hoc solutions could be developed or received digitally.

UK Government β€˜committed’ to collective worship in schools The UK Government has announced plans to replace Circular 1/94, its thirty-two-year-old guidance on collective worship in England, and publish updated advice on its collective worship requirements lat...

Tinkering around the edges of collective worship guidance does not change the fact that compulsory Christian collective worship can never really be pluralistic, objective, & critical. Every child, regardless of faith or belief, should be able to take part in assemblies that are genuinely inclusive.

If you live in Scotland and want to see an end to compulsory worship in schools, support @humanistsociety.bsky.social by writing to your MSPs today. Religious worship is not education. Speak up now and help end religious indoctrination as standard.

"IGNORE THE SMEARS, I WAS NEVER A CLOSE FRIEND OF PETER MANDELSON" I yell through my neighbour's catflap, desperately scrabbling at the backdoor handle, thrusting against the frosted glass my Guardian article where I make it clear I am a nice normal MP, as my neighbour calmly dials 999 on his phone

I think the level of competence is just ridiculously low, Tories were even worse, but it's hard to see what this one has done right. A lot of crises going on all at once, but the number one threat that needs addressing is putting barriers for a fascist gvt ever to form and fight Reform aggressively.

Any concessions in Donbas within the framework of a peace agreement will not stop the war but will only allow Russia to build up its forces for a broader offensive deeper into Ukraine.

With things like this, npm last hear and whatever undiscovered trojans are sitting waiting around infrastructure around the world, it makes sense for people and countries to keep an offline plan b for everything.

Wtaf, how does this keep happening. Just wondering if UK intelligence isn't doing their job or the people in question were ignoring advice.

By all means, play for time, but a US security guarantee would be worthless without a different administration and only for its duration.

It’s the AI start-up dream. After years of slog, Nvidia offers a $500mn investment. No-brainer? Not if you’re Hugging Face. The FT reveals today the group rejected the offer in a sign of the growing divide over what, exactly, AI should be.

At the speed things are moving adapting quickly is key, I could see a support craft with CNC mills, 3D scanners, 3D printers, simple UV printer PCB production and a wide range of electronic components. Could allow schematics from HQ sent and fabricated within hours + reverse engineering.

There is this human tendency to want to split things into two. I also suffer from this affliction, and I try to counteract it as much as I can wrt important matters.

One of those matters is politicians and political parties.
