Transitioning every major economy to a fully renewable energy based one would cost less than one single Oil crisis.

We are so cooked.

Topøkonomer i ny analyse: Råd til store investeringer i grøn omstilling, klima og oprustning

Politikerne taler om råderum – nu har to topøkonomer for privat fond udregnet Danmarks ‘spillerum’: Og de har fundet store summer, der frem til 2050 kan bruges på forbedring og udvikling af samfundet uden at sætte ‘holdbarheden’ over styr.

Der findes en udbredt ordning, som et stigende antal velhavende forældre gør brug af. Med en smart aftale, kan de sikre deres børn en fod inden for på det buldrende københavnske boligmarked. Og samtidig kan de overdrage store formuer til næste generation, uden at der skal betales afgift.

Der er bare et problem: Det er ulovligt

Det er alligevel vildt nok at bo i et land, hvor landbruget i fuldt alvor beder om kompensation for ikke at øge min risiko for tarmkræft.

Ligeså vildt er det, at både V & S mener landbruget skal kompenseres, fordi de ikke via frivillig vej over 27 år har formået at nedbringe deres forurening af vores grundvand....

So let me get this straight, after launching another war in the middle east with absolutely no plan, to counter a threat that doesn't exist, the US is now strengthening the only country who actually does pose a threat, undermining European security.

Absolutely shambolic, these people are not our allies.

A lot of people talking about dumping Proton right now are misunderstanding what actually happened.

Feds were able to coerce the Swiss government to coerce Proton to hand over whatever data they had on an anonymous Stop Cop City email address, that was being investigated for terrorism.

That metadata included credit card details information for the account, which is very difficult to anonymize.

Proton offers cash payments to work around this obvious security flaw.

If you must pay for a Proton account for a radical project, pay with cash (you can mail it) or washed crypto (Monero -> Bitcoin).

All credit card payments are traceable, even to a privacy-focused company.

Your security model should not rely on a business to fight the state on your behalf.

Your email or VPN provider is not going to risk prison time for your $5/mo. It's just not going to happen, at least for anything commercial. Tuta and every other email privacy-focused email company will comply with court orders.

Trying to find the perfect email provider is a fool's errand. It doesn't exist.

You can however anonymize your useage of privacy friendly services like Proton, Tuta, or Mailbox by not entering your credit card number, phone number, name, personal email, or IP to that account.
