I think it's mostly Germany and Hungary? It's a shame that so many countries are/was dependent on Russian oil and gas. I'm happy to live in a country (Sweden) where we are independent and produce clean energy from NUCLEAR and hydro.
This! I work for a company that has several systems that are older than 20 years and no one really knows how they work. We are using AI to actually get insights in how they really works, to be able to rewrite and modernize the applications.

I can't read the source code since it's 8 million lines of code and written in a programming language I don't know and in a language I don't speak.

It's about the nukes. Europe doesn't want a world where a lot of countries have nukes so the role of the US in Nato was to provide Europe with a nuclear umbrella.

I'm a Swede and something is going on between France and Sweden related to nuclear weapons. Not sure if it's about placing French Rafael fighter jets with French nukes or some type of collaboration about Gripen fighter jets with Swedish nukes.

> If one wants to find verses justifying violence, the New Testament has them too

You are saying verses that do justifying violence but the ones you provided are just having the word 'sword' in them. Are you really saying that they tell me as a Christian to do violence?

No, the correct translation is "God is greater". And it was used as a war chant against Christians.

> And Christian religion taken by the Romans

It was not taken by the Romans. It was persecuted by the Romans for nearly 300 years.

Allahu akbar = (Our) God is greater

It's true that Islam is a Christian heresy but to be fair, Islam tries to be it's own State Religion only for the Arabs. So in that sense it's not the same God since they don't believe in the Trinity.

Must say it's a little bit lame that they are boycotting iOS. I will not change phone just to use this app but it would be nice to be able to replace SwiftKey with this.

I think he ment Gypsy and not Gentile.
Pretty sure he meant Satya Nadella but picked the wrong name...
> They also depend on the ESA

Sweden is part of ESA, what a strange thing to say. Also, I believe some of the satellites will be sent from Kiruna, Sweden.

That number must be wrong? Swish volume during one month was €4759MM as comparison.
> You'd still be dependent on other countries for your (nuclear) fuel needs.

Like Canada and in the future also Sweden? Two really hostile countries to be dependent on.

Any sources to back this up?

> Twint is part of the EMPSA which hasn't really delivered anything tangible.

It's easy to see why. Both Swish and Vipps is part of EMPSA. In Sweden, everyone uses Swish. Vipps (from Norway I believe) wants to expand to Sweden but no one is using it since it's not compatible with Swish. So making it compatible would potentially hurt the business of Swish.

Regulation is needed. Otherwise it will never happen.
