Excellent news here, the EU gets a lot of flak because the right choices are rarely the popular ones.

I still think free trade should prevail. Even if China is unfairly subsidizing their EV makers it should be allowed to make that mistake because China would be subsidizing European consumers and helping our energy transition and making their own industry less innovative and more dependent on subsidies. Doubtless there would be issues for European car industry but it needs to renew itself anyways and we should be looking at the overall benefits and making sure the EU market is open for trade, competition and innovation.

Fuck that

Very true, where it becomes strange is that once again the US just like Russia immediately thinks that the only solution is to bomb the shit out of everything and then have the gall to say that the rest of the world should be grateful.

I’m confused, when exactly has the EU or any other collective European entity requested the US to bomb the Houthis? Isn’t this recent flare-up related to the failed ceasefire between Israel and Hamas that the Trump administration has been facilitating?

And surprise surprise Trump helps out Putin by negotiating a ceasefire for energy infrastructure.

Gotten rid of nearly every US digital service I have. Physical stuff I will still probably roll with my Apple devices until they wear out since they're relatively new, but almost all the data and apps are basically European and/or open source services. Work related stuff remains the challenge. Next phone will be HMD.
