  • That is probably it, I also noticed that I don’t have this urge and need to play pen & paper RPGs where I could try myself out in a female role, now I just play female characters and have fun playing. I don’t quite know how to put it in words, I guess the best way to describe it is that playing pen & paper RPGs seems optional now and not mandatory anymore to be able to survive (as in “get through the day” and I could barely think of anything else in the week before meeting up with friends to play).


















  • “It’s not realistic or helpful,” said one European military official of the “tech sovereignty” discussions. “Most of our European platforms are relying on American back-end . . . so it’s very difficult to see anything happening in the short term. It’s just not possible.”

    Those arguments resonate more with European military officials than with politicians, according to tech lobbyists, because military leaders better understand the risks a sudden decoupling from the US would bring. Such a break, they argue, would create capability gaps and fragmentation, undermining military operations and cyber security, and making intelligence-gathering less efficient.

    It’s okay if big changes are not possible in the short term but they shouldn’t ignore the long term.
