Main thing I've done is gathering a lot of information, I think there are some groceries I skipped on but I'm not really a person who buys the same out of habit anyway. I've been wanting to switch email providers for a while now, so I've started that process. Same with Google services, deleted a bunch of apps (like Google Maps) and I think the next big thing is try and switch os (or further degoogle android) and dip my toes in Linux again after not using it for 10 years or so.

I left Facebook and Instagram years ago and I feel that really improved my life and I feel the tech changes I'm doing now will do the same.

The UK government said it was taking control of Chinese-owned British Steel on Saturday after rushing an emergency law through parliament to avert the shutdown of the country's last factory that can make steel from scratch.

I like this article being shared with me, so for myself I don't mind it being here but I agree it would fit better at [email protected] or somewhere similar.

Aside from Germany, does anybody know if more countries are siding with South-Africa than before? I feel like every government is just digging into their position and whatever cruel thing happens doesn't really change anything anymore, at least not at the government level.

Do you believe that what Israel is doing in Palastine could be considered a genocide by the ICC aside from your point on the holocaust? Just trying to figure out where you stand in this.

Nice website, apparently with stuff from everywhere so you can check your own country too!

I don't know about these specifically but in general BIC lighters are made to be used until gas runs out, not very friendly to the environment indeed. But to be honest, there are many much worse things if you consider you can use these for a while before you throw them out.

A not so cheap brand I have good experiences with is Sandqvist, from Sweden. If you can afford it they offer good quality and they have good values. Y They also list on their website where they source materials and where things are made (mainly south-east Asia and a little bit Europe, nothing in US or China).

Billionaire Elon Musk has gone on a mass firing spree of federal employees, and Rolling Stone reports he's been immensely enjoying himself while doing so.

I always though billionaires had empathy /s

They say drowning is one of the nicest ways of dying though, although with slowly you might mean he has to swim in a tank until he is all out of energy and drowns because he doesn't have enough energy left to keep himself alive which seems far worse than being thrown in a like with your feet bound to a rock.

 

Nine Red Crescent crew members were missing for a week after they came under Israeli fire in Rafah.

The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) says 15 bodies have been found in Rafah, southern Gaza, a week after its first responders came under heavy fire from Israeli forces.

The PRCS said on Sunday that eight of the bodies have been identified as PRCS members, six as members of the Civil Defence, and one as a UN agency employee. One PRCS first responder is still missing.

The group said the those killed “were targeted by the Israeli occupation forces while performing their humanitarian duties as they were heading to the Hashashin area of Rafah to provide first aid to a number of people injured by Israeli shelling in the area”.

“The occupation’s targeting of Red Crescent medics … can only be considered a war crime punishable under international humanitarian law, which the occupation continues to violate before the eyes of the entire world.”

In an earlier statement the Red Crescent said the bodies “were recovered with difficulty as they were buried in the sand, with some showing signs of decomposition”.

PRCS President Younis al-Khatib condemned Israel for targeting its paramedics as they “fulfil their humanitarian mission”.

“Those souls are not mere numbers. If this incident [happened] anywhere else, the whole world would have moved heaven and earth to expose this war crime,” al-Khatib said on Sunday.

 

The Netherlands has issued a new warning to Dutch citizens considering travel to the United States if they are gay, lesbian, transsexual, or another gender or sexual minority. The Dutch government also warned, "The US government has tightened entry controls for foreign visitors," echoing similar concerns raised by other countries, including the United Kingdom and Germany, in messages to their citizens.

Quite some of the companies in these three lists are American so they might not be the best eu alternatives, but still wanted to share these three lists.
