More than half of all U.K. imports come from the EU. That’s AFTER Brexit, so lower compared to what it was before.

Only 13% of UK imports come from the US. 7% from China. Even combined it’s less than half of EU imports.

You’ve got your numbers flipped around mate.

And given how much China and the US are our friends, that would just be terrible.

Oh no, we’d buy more stuff more Europe, how terrible. Then it’ll have to get shipped locally: the terror!!!

And then European businesses and consumers might start buying from the UK again! That will not stand!!

That’s a hell of a lot better than most other systems. If true, and if scalable, this is a huge innovation.

And if there is a known high wind coming, the plant can forcefully go through the compression cycle to remove the bubble.

Depending on where you are in China, I agree. But the benefits are very unevenly distributed.

Freedom comes with accountability. As an adult you’re free to make your own choices. But not all choices are good choices.

The idea of freedom without accountability is something reserved for childhood.

They’re like kids trying to dam up a stream in the forest. They’re all enthusiastic at the start and then they realise the power of water and quickly give up. Still, for a few moments, it gives them a sense of control.

Gosh, quite a varied picture from me: RSS feeds via a self-hosted Miniflux instance. Mostly get defense related updates here. Paid subscription to a couple of defense insider blogs too, which come through via RSS.

Apple News for the day to day - my wife subscribes so have a subscription through our family account.

Jyllands-Posten (subscription) & DR, SVT, NRK for Scandinavian news. BBC and Guardian (which I used to pay for, but have stopped) for U.K. news.

Don’t know they did news. Thanks for the heads up.

Yes but all of these depend on the development team at Firefox. I don’t know what the solution is, but I do know that those three browsers would not continue if Firefox didn’t also continue. There’s still a lot of development work from Firefox.

At this point I think the safer route would be to just accept the Chromium hegemony and build a free browser from that.

Same here.

I self host photo storage, which leaves originals untouched. It’s got a parity drive. There’s a hot spare. Every night it gets backed to up two different cloud providers that both host their own hardware, on two different continents (OVH, Germany and Backblaze, US East). The entire thing gets written to two offline disks every six months, for worm protection. I run recovery exercises a couple of times a year.

It would take a dinosaur killer asteroid for me to lose access to this data.

Imagine giving all that to Apple?!
