    The digital dependence on the US is much like the energy dependence on Russia.

    Europe is ditching Russian energy. They may ditch US tech.

      God I hope so because I would love to move to Europe as a skilled developer.

      I don’t know about the whole Europe but Spain is buying more energy from Russia than before the war and sanctions.

      Don’t get me wrong, I hope that would be the case but Europe is also Corporativist.

        Is it more? I know Spain is still buying some LNG from Russia, but i would have thought the amount went down, not up.

          https://murciatoday.com/spain_is_now_the_second_largest_importer_of_russian_gas_in_europe_1000191256-a.html

          As they article points out it’s all maskerading by the fact that they heavily increased the import in 2023 and now is “reduced”

            Thank you for the article. It brought up something quite interesting that i wasn’t aware off before:

            But why does Spain rely so heavily on Russia despite the almost global disapproval? The answer lies in this country’s extensive regasification capacity, which stands at 67.1 bcm - the largest in all of Europe. This enables Spain to receive LNG shipments on behalf of other countries that lack the necessary infrastructure, making it a critical hub for European energy trade.

            looking a bit into it i found this article:

            https://rbac.com/spains-role-as-a-natural-gas-importer-and-re-exporter/

            So it seems that Spain is also taking the flak here for other EU countries that want to profit from Russian gas but not be directly associated with it.

              The European Union hypocrisy is lovely, isn’t it?

            Is there another link on that? The editor behind that page is a little… “undocumented” (there’s almost nothing about it).

              Sure but they are in Spanish. Murcia today is for the local brit community.

              https://www.elmundo.es/economia/2023/12/01/656a15ffe4d4d8dc568b45bc.html

              The same stuff over 200% increase in 2023 so others can say we dont buy stuff to Russia we buy it to Spain (who bought it to Russia). This source even points out the liquid gas that arrived by boat from Russia wasn’t sanctioned.

              As we say in Spain “hecha la ley, hecha la trampa”

              https://www.larazon.es/economia/espana-compra-mas-gas-ruso-que-americano-ultimos-12-meses_2025030767cad38e39a0dc0001c11b79.html

              Says it decrease 25%, but it’s 25% from that almost 200% in 2023.

                You do know Marhuenda was the press chief of Rajoy, don’t you?

                  Attacking the source instead of disproving the article.

                  You have hands, you can sources of your favorite side of the political spectrum, or ask an LLM.

                    Bruselas confía en que Naturgy y Repsol rompan sus contratos de gas ruso en 2027: “Pueden invocar fuerza mayor”

                    La prohibición de gas ruso trae una gran guerra legal en la UE: indemnizaciones millonarias a Moscú por incumplir contratos

                    Bruselas defiende la legalidad del veto al gas ruso ante dudas de importadores como Naturgy y Repsol

                    It looks like the problem are the contracts. They could go faster breaking the contracts? Yes. But it’s Naturgy and Repsol, both private, not the government. Or are you suggesting that the government has to do a take over of the energy enterprises? 😉

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
