- martimarkov 1y agoIt never said it will stop right away. It put a target and the process is called phasing out. The same way you migrate away from AWS. You don’t just stop your platform you move over while still using some AWS services.
- thrown-0825 1y agoYou do when that platform invades a sovereign nation, murders its people, and traffics its children.

- FranzFerdiNaN 1y agoToo easy. Unfortunately it takes forever to decouple, but that doesn’t mean steps aren’t being taken. And yes, we’re all stuck under capitalism so anything that really threatens the profitability of companies will be opposed as much as possible. Combine that with geopolitical events like Americans being the dumbest people possible who elect an openly corrupt authoritarian not once but twice and everything becomes even harder.
- thrown-0825 1y agoLNG imports have dramatically increased since the invasion started. Americans are their own captors, fuck them. Using them as a excuse for EU cowardice is not convincing.
- hadrien01 1y agoFalse: > Europe’s LNG imports declined by 19% in 2024. The continent’s gas consumption fell by 20% between 2021 and 2024 thanks to renewables deployment and demand reduction policies. https://ieefa.org/european-lng-tracker https://ieefa.org/european-lng-tracker
