The European Parliament is replacing Google with Qwant as the default search engine on its computers. Qwant is a French, privacy-focused search engine that does not track users or sell their data. And this switch is not just about privacy, it is a deliberate move away from US-based Big Tech.

Tonight's tipple from St. Emilion. Lovely and full Bordeaux fruits. Can recommend.

Gov. Pritzker Commencement Address: Kindness is intelligence Makes a lot of sense, and identifies the loathsome people with having to mention their names. youtu.be/5uFwyPP5GOQ?...

This happens to me every morning when I feed ours - lol. They are little swines.

😂

lol - is it just me or are there a lot of young ladies just turning 18 than want to follow us. 😂🤷‍♂️ Their parents must have been busy 18 years ago - lol.

Look at the price drop per Kw when the renewables are making up 80% of the generation in the UK. In the not too distant future, the Grid will be green and the prices will plummet. Don't believe the right wing nut jobs on the lies of Fossil fuel.

Some more beautiful flowers on another walk today.

If you say "I support Palestine Action", they might put you in jail. If you incite a racist riot, they put you on the news.

This is Farage’s Britain. A hellscape of racism and riots. Decency cast aside. No responsible media platform should have given him this opportunity. A disgraceful, disrespectful day. Yet another warning to us all that all Farage will ever do is hurt and ruin and divide.

She is spot on, when you think what the UK Government has done to silence critics, ban speakers, just because they disagree with the policy of support for the Zionists while they conduct a genocide. I just wish more politicians would stand up and call out what they are doing. The Spanish can.

😂😂 👍 Tom - lol

😂 Perfect name for this band of filthy racists

Lovely wild planted verge on my walk around the village today. I know the French government hand out the seeds through an EU scheme. So much prettier than just grass everywhere.

😂

Spain just became one of Europe's cheapest power markets. Here is how. When we drive to our place in Spain, you see massive wind farms and solar farms, so this really doesn't surprise me at all. open.substack.com/pub/janrosen...

What a disgusting vile individual this loathsome scumbag is. Taking the grief of a family in a most disturbing case of police incompetence and horrid actions of an obviously troubled person for political gain. If the UK ever lets this piece of filth anywhere near power, it will be a disaster.

Interesting development, people power pushing the transformation. I would have expected to see Africa on the list as I know they are utilising a lot of solar power now.

Absolutely disgraceful that Farage spots political opportunity in this murder. There is no tragic situation that Farage won’t make worse. His answer is more hatred, more division, more threat. A profoundly loathsome man. Our country will deeply regret giving him power. He does nothing but harm.

Over the next few years this will have a major impact on not only dino fuel consumption but the whole infrastructure once it becomes uneconomic.

"Above all, the UK and EU share the same values: democracy, openness, rule of law and sustainability. The defining challenges of our age, climate change, technological transformation, economic security and geopolitical instability, cannot be solved by nations acting alone. They require cooperation."

Yesterday I witnessed something extraordinary: the author Sarah Wynn-Williams sitting silent on a stage at @hayfestival.bsky.social. And she got a standing ovation. I hope the attempt to censor her backfires magnificently. I have just ordered her book. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

The unintended consequences always bite you in the arse. So many historical examples. Remember CFC's killing the ozone layer.

💯%: “It is in the interest of governments, industries and households but also central banks that the transition away from fossil fuels proceeds as smoothly and predictably as possible: disorderly adjustment and persistent policy uncertainty carry their own economic costs and financial risks.“

Never forget to thank Brexiteers for the misery at airports and ports that they caused for zero advantage. 🤬

Yes that seems about right 😂

😂 So true

I went to an amazing burger van last night. It was so good, it had four Michelin tyres. 😂

Another major move for office products as the Europeans pull away from the US as it's impossible to trust it and it's motived. I shall be keeping an eye on it. cybernews.com/tech/euro-of...
