Iceland at no1. Multiple European countries in the top 20.

I did put the “removepaywall” there, just FYI.

Or sponsorblock. Works well too.

Doubt it. This is Sweden after all.

Paywall? https://removepaywalls.com/https://www.wired.com/story/all-the-ways-europe-is-ditching-american-technology/

No matter what you think about AI, the fact that the US is willing to cut Europe off from access should be a case for concern.

The downvote button is not a disagree button.

Not only impopular, let’s not forget that people are still suffering from the economic crash that the mini-budget that Truss/Kwarteng presented.

I’m going to assume that the people who did the study aren’t utter morons and that they took such things into account.

It’s hard to tell from the article though.

No it wasn’t.

Edit: Also, this is a plan by the UK, it has nothing to do with the EU, unless you want to claim that the UK left to be able to do this, which I don’t think.

Not jokes, but also not quite the long range interceptors that the Patriots are. We’ll get get there I’m sure, but we’re not there yet.

The man is an idiot, but he also hold power, so we should listen and take precautions.

Good thing brexit isn’t permanent then. I hope.

But if we start taxing jet-fuel then perhaps it’ll be more economically viable to travel by ship again.

DDG is still US tech though. If the goal is to use European, DDG is a no-go.

Your comment reminds me of the old Jimmy Carr joke.

(Trigger warning, SA)

Apparently they’re hoping to deliver the first jets in December/January, so in about 6 months. From what I gather they’re buying the E/F variant (latest version) which will be delivered in 2030, but as soon as the deal is finalised they’ll get the 16 free C/D (previous version).

Sweden is currently upgrading its fleet from C/D to E/F, with the first one delivered in October 2025.

It’s not my place to say what the Scots should or should not do, but if you think Brexit was messy, separating Scotland and England will be several times worse. That said, I’d happily accept Scotland into the Nordics, together with Estonia, I feel we share a lot of the same values and culture.

Very much a thing here. Unfortunately.
