I installed it to try it out. A little complicated to convince it to use i2p. I tried my best and think I managed, but then when I searched for some Linux iso to download I found a bunch, but then couldn’t download them due to lack of peers, so perhaps my search was clearnet after all? Not easy to configure IMHO.

Forgot we switched year. Fixed.

First time I’ve heard of it, and to my defense I just copied the text from the website.

I love this.

I also think that the EU should prohibit PII from being stored in the cloud where there isn’t a 100% guarantee that this data won’t leave Europe without the explicit consent of the organisation storing it. Starting with governments in 2030 (or something) and then expanding this to private companies.

Need to store PII? Then it’s on prem or an EU cloud provider. Nothing else.

I’m willing to accept exceptions as long as they are periodically reviewed and a plan exists exit the situation.

Nope, signal.

True at the time and will remain true until the EU federalise. We really need to start seeing ourselves as Europeans first and country second.

From the article:

Unfortunately, the outcome in this negotiation is that although the EU has agreed to a number of additional measures, they are not sufficient to satisfy our citizens. “So our position stands. We will vote against the agreement.”

Right, but you can see the difference, can’t you? They quit because they couldn’t continue because that would put them in the position where they had to betray their values or their future for no gain.

I wish every single serviceman would have said “No, we’re not going to murder civilians”, but that didn’t happen either. I respect those who stepped away more.

I’m sure there are as many reasons as there are people for joining the military. I’m not saying you’re wrong, I’m just saying that I understand their rationale. If I had to choose between ideological purity and comfort for my family I’m not 100% sure what I’d choose. I’m human after all, and looking after your loved ones absolutely comes first.

So then you might understand that if you’re in the lucky group who is on track to get it, it might be hard to give up?

BReapply. It’s not as simple as just reenter or rejoin.

Courts will restore them if the orders they refused were illegal.

Will they though? Pre-Trump, probably. Today? I wouldn’t bet my future and retirement on it.

Bit harsh IMHO.

It’s being human. Not everyone is prepared to throw away the future they planned for and have been working towards their whole life on principle, especially if the end result of that action is bugger all.

I might not agree, but I get it.

I don’t disagree, but then they get dishonorably discharged, lose their pension and benefits, a loyalist is put in their place and the end result is the same except that they’re worse off personally. I can absolutely see that the better option for them is to resign and make a statement rather than going hard-core and fight it. Unless they plan on a full-on military coup.

If you want every country to get nukes, this is how you do it. Countries with nukes don’t get invaded.

I miss the old world.

Not quite the same thing, but have you had a look at IPFS or Hyphanet?

I think the message is the opposite. At least that’s how I read it. But I might have misinterpreted, I was only skimming it.

Better link. Thanks.
