In December, Sweden announced a 10bn kronor (£800m) cut in development funding to Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Liberia, Tanzania and Bolivia. Germany's humanitarian budget of €1.05bn (£920m) for 2026 will be less than half of last year's, with spending refocused on areas deemed a priority to Europe.

The UK also announced earlier this year that it would be cutting aid to fund defence spending. Norway has increased its civilian support to Ukraine by 2.5bn kroner (£185m), to a quarter of its aid budget, but has been accused of making Africa pay for that rise with a 355m kroner cut (£26m).

France's budget for 2026 will also see a €700m cut to aid spending, with a 60% reduction in food aid, while increasing defence spending by €6.7bn.

It’s gotten so out of his hand that his some of his fans ...

I don't know what's more annoying: that this glaring misprint is found right at the beginning of the article, or that neither M$ Word, nor Libreoffice see it as a grammar issue.

+1 Might as well ban saccharides while you're at it.

 

I'm literally deciding which distro to install as a first timer. It's my understanding that Mint is the best for beginners migrating from M$ but knowing nothing about why this is the case one thing nags me:

Why do people switch distro's? What isn't in Mint that you get elsewhere? I really don't want to waste time using Mint if I'm just going to have to reinstall something else because it turns out it is bad for gaming or doesn't support many devices or something.

I have no bans yet feel zero compulsion to return to Bottit

Joshua: Where'd these lead weights in my gloves come from? 😇

Look, ever since I took that cross Canada passenger flight I've constantly bragged about my aeronautical skill.

Kept my seatbelt on when the light was lit: AERONAUGHT!

Don't take this away from me!

Time can certainly change the answer to a question without any input from the individual user.

If it 'can', it can also 'cannot'. The idiom refers to doing things where time changing is irrelevant.

We need to smarten up and support our government playing hardball but we're still being wishy-washy with our support. Lines out the door to get the last bottles of JD? F off. Travel is only down 30%? F off. Stop selling our country to the US one amazon purchase at a time. It will hurt, but it is necessary if you don't want to become amerikkkun.

Blanket punitive tariffs double whatever the US implements. Want our aluminum, wood and oil? Cut the BS. We're already recovering by increasing ties, both militarily and economically with the EU.

When a Luigi thread used to hit all on Reddit, 90% of the top comments would be deleted. It’s not even comparable.

I haven't been on Reddit in years. You're right that it isn't compatible if your description is accurate. On Lemmy it isn't bots deleting everything Luigi like on reddit, it is many communities punishing tacit approval of his alleged actions. By now most have found the safe spaces imo which is why they say there is no problem.

Making stuff up about a problem other people have quipped sarcastically about?

Has it gotten better? Debatable. It's simply less common now that he's out of the news cycle but I myself have been banned for posting an image of the bat signal with a Green L in it (on an account whos server closed down).

When Luigi Mangione gets acquitted he should publicly confront all the healthcare CEOs by shaking their hands and staring into their eyes until it gets very uncomfortable.

"now that we're acquainted, fix this system so you won't ever see me again".
