Emigration or fleeing is not desertion, if you leave a country before being part of the army, you have fled the country but you did not desert. You have to be part of a military unit to have the ability to desert. You can look at Ukrainian

Your comment is misinformed, you are unfamiliar with the UK context here, but even if your comment would be correct, 200/6 = 33 EUR that would most definitely plug that black hole, however that is not what the comment is about, please

Many very costly things happen if we forget the Afghanistan lesson, where an insane amount money was plowed into a military riddled with corruption that folded without a fight once the US abandoned the area. On paper the Afghan forces were

The UK is also sending eye-watering amounts of money to Ukraine without a problem, while everyone else is pulling out of the project. There was also the plan go give the Chagos islands to a country that is ~2000km away and pay them billions

If we take this logic, we should get rid of JavaScript support entirely and only support WASM, which would be a direction, but it would ignore how developers are using the platform. It is now becoming rare when I see any serious project tha

The EU is not as altruistic as it seems, a lot of good looking policies are backed up by bad intentions. Not having the possibility of a 3rd party app store means that you can never have an app store in the EU, where the 30% stays in the EU
