The council of Europe is a human rights body based in Strasbourg, broader than the EU. It is a kind of democracy watchdog and has no sanctions or telecoms authority.

There is the European council, which is the EU body composed of the 27 heads of government, which indeed has sanctioned Russia today by withdrawing it's broadcasting license (X) but I cannot find any source that says that says that telecoms have to block it's content.

And of course this all is not Russia today, but maybe they use some of the same servers, which might explain the question raised here how Anna's Archive keeps the lights on.

Also the initial green movement was not against nuclear power per se but rather a peace movement against nuclear weapons, the concept just expanded over time to cover also civilian nuclear power, notably after Tchernobyl.

In contrast Russia is indeed known to finance both the far left (which has a lot of 'Ostalgia') and far right (whereby nationalism works against Western unity and strength) movements.

Wow, I cannot imagine being these parents. Who leaves their 10 month old son three weeks with the grandparents to go on vacation? I cannot judge someone else from the distance and I don't know their life and context but from just this article I get the impression these are parents that have their children mainly for esthetic reasons.

That said, there are plenty of successful government actions across the world, where Europe or Japan probably have a good advantage with solid public services. Think streets, healthcare, energy infrastructure, water infrastructure, rail, ...

* I couldn't find on the site for which OS I can use it. Only here the clarification of electron made it obvious - but might be helpful for others if you clarify it. * I use Migadu and basically create myself infinite emails to handle different contacts. I don't see any clarification if sending is by default only on the 'main email' (foo@bar.com) or I can also use custom emails for each response (ideally the same as the one on which the email was received (footala@bar.com, foospotify@bar.com, foocarquote@bar.com, etc). I'm not expecting custom filtering for this as a standard of course, just hoping for the ability to send. * Any calendar integration? Can I create/manage events e.g. using my Google calendar? If not, how do you envisage this being done? * Sweet and simple presentation overall - good luck!

That said, looking at the current offer it seems to lack the one thing Duolingo offers: Duolingo (for all its many faults and pedagogical uselessness) takes the burden of decision making away - I don't need to really think what to do next. Here I don't have this guidance - do I start with basics? Or introduction? Or something else?

Crucial in my view would be to provide a path or at least a tree to guide the user where to go. This will make it easy to jump in and get carried along.

Our services here all have more or less publicly owned infrastructure with private providers handing the contracts and energy supply. I guess that must be a happy middle ground, and having a private corporation handling infrastructure seems a bad idea all around.

Would it not be better for the audience and use case to use a top up model? And might you be able to offer a 5-10 message free plan?

No or government in the world currently functions without Microsoft...
