Huh ! You’re right. It seems to be startpage who do that. Good thing I never used that functionality I guess. The only thing I bang is wikipedia. Umm wait, that’s not what I meant. Lol

Lol. Putin has shown repeatedly how much he respects treaties and laws.

Because ddg proxies your request, so they don’t fingerprint your browser & IP and tag the search to you

It works ? I mean what necessary functionality is it missing ? Magnet link goes in, files come out, happy face.

I trust France a damn sight more than I trust the US

Well there are clearly some their names are in the article at the top of the thread. It’s more a question of how many.

It’s been squibbed for years, maybe now Europe has recognised the other threats they’ll deal with this 5th columnist along the way.

5-7 years iirc according to the article I read. After that failure rates start going up, not sure how long the curve from 0-100% is though.

Bottom line the UK (and the rest of the EU) need to start getting missile factories stood up. Not just for trident but for all the other arms we get off the US.

Generally most people get recommended to start their Linux journey with Mint as it is noob friendly (while still having full functionality) other options to consider would be popOS Ubuntu & Fedora.

qBittorrent is the most recommended I’ve seen, although I use transmission.

He’s already made it clear that he is aligned with Putain and Orban, so yeah, it’s the current barrier

Evidence is already clear and has been “approved” (for lack of a better word). Orban has already had funding frozen and fines imposed for various breaches

It requires unanimity of the other members, Hungary was protected by PiS in Poland (who are also corrupt authoritarians) until they were voted out, there was then a short window of a couple of months where the EU squibbed their chance, then Slovakia replaced their chad Prez with Fico who is also a corrupt authoritarian and the opportunity was lost.

What they can do is get all the preparatory stuff done and wait to see if Slovakia replace Fico, or (very unlikely but not impossible) the challenger to Orban manages to win. If neither happens then giving Fico a bigger bribe than Putin does is the last resort.

The UK outsourced maintenance of the delivery mechanism (the missile body) to the US.

The warhead is built & maintained by the UK.

The missiles have a life span so eventually they will stop working without US help.

It’s not, but it is better than using google

It is if looked at in isolation.

Consider the context though. The EU is under direct political attack from a fascist enemy through both propaganda and direct threats.

Causing thousands to be laid off in a time of global turmoil is NOT going to help prevent the likes of AfD and FN taking power. It would in fact garner them votes. Couple that with the US deliberately starting an economic war and this is sub optimal but necessary if the EU is to survive the fascist rise.
