Framing the Ukraine was as an imperialistic war is western propaganda

What? Russia is free to end this war any time they choose. Doesn’t seem like there can be any peace with Russia as long as Putin stays in power, same as we can’t rely on the US as long as Trump is its head.

I don’t see a need for Europe to include Israel in anything at all these days to be honest

Thanks, I’ll have a look at that!

Can I ask how you integrated Qobuz? I see they have a locked API and no other obvious way to integrate

Rare?

Doesn’t sound like it failed at its purpose in that case

Fair enough, thanks for the response

I’m curious, since you’re already on Protonmail, why not use their VPN too?

Had to look it up, it’s close. Wiki says the foundations were laid in 1785, so not long after the US independence.

in Europe you have to develop and sometimes apply for permits and licenses for each country

Honestly, EU Inc, announced at the WEF, is one of the few good things to come out of that mess. A single framework for running a business in all EU countries, meaning expansion across borders will be simplified enormously. Should allow for easier growth in the future.

There are certain sayings, phrases or slang that I may not be intimately familiar with.

This says nothing about your fluency. There are tonnes of English slang that Americans are unfamiliar with, and vice versa.
Hell, there’s a lot of Singaporean English that doesn’t exist in the minds of Brits and Americans, but Singaporeans are still fluent in English, it’s just different from what people consider “true” English.

No mainstream alternative to Android/iOS exists. Same goes for Visa/Mastercard. All of them are US products.

Essentially shutting down all smartphones and most consumer payments would be pretty crippling.

I hope this whole thing is enough of a wake-up call for the EU to put (more) effort into a lasting solution.
