It's been a long time since I took art history in college, but I don't recall fighter jets, bald eagles, storm troopers, and the Witch-king of Angmar making frequent appearances in Christian iconography.

France is switching from Microsoft to Linux "We must become less reliant on American tools and regain control of our digital destiny. We can no longer accept that our data, our infrastructure, our strategic decisions depend on solutions whose rules, pricing, evolution, and risks we do not control."

The likelihood of me accepting a reviewer request varies over time. One important observed factor is the number of pending requests, another is stress level. In combination these two factors seems to create "review waves" -- a cyclical movement between no pending and many pending reviews.

đđșđžđđș Trump directly endorsed Orban ahead of Hungary's parliamentary elections on April 12. So Trump supports Putin's "lackey" Orban. And Trump does not support Zelensky, who is fighting against Putin.
