Q. across Africa as US Foreign Aid is withdrawn, will Chinese aid replace it?
Chinese aid has mostly been differently focusses (funding infrastructure rather than social services), and certainly China's Govt. may see the potential for extending influence, but unless its character is radically altered, for African countries while infrastructure may continue to improve with Chinese help, social (poverty-focussed) services look threatened unless African states themselves take them up?
Oooh, another up close look at the CyberSub.

Also, if that happens and the doors short out and you are stuck inside, you are SO IN TROUBLE. There's no way you are going to find the manual in the dark, find a flashlight, read the instructions to find the emergency egress/door handle 😬

Had a look at my Pi Hole blocked queries list and there are entries for:
incoming.telemetry.mozilla.org
I thought I had disabled all the 'phone home' functionality in Firefox, but it appears to be still sending telemetry. about:telemetry claims it is disabled but there are several telemetry settings set to true in about:config. I don't know how to turn these off in settings, the only option seems to be to set:

🎵 Cities
There seems to be a strong theme emerging from some of my latest songs. I was born and raised in cities, and while I lived in them for most of my adult life, I knew I would be more than fine living in the middle of nowhere (having tested that assumption on occasion).
So when the opportunity arose a few years back, I jumped ship.
If you listen to Entangled, Let Me Off, Bercée d’illusions (in French) and to some extent Living The Dream, it’s pretty easy to figure out that my apparent fixation on cities stems from both personal and philosophical/political/environmental considerations.
Regardless, I hope you’ll enjoy this new chapter in what is maybe shaping up to be a concept album, and which you’ll find on these fine, non-corporate sites:
(Still debating whether I should keep posting on bandcamp. In the meantime, if you want to pay for Cities, you can do so on Mirlo).

Le rapport «Planetary Solvency» indique que si on continue à ignorer le climat et les limites planétaires, on fonce vers un réchauffement moyen de 3°C, chute de 50% du PIB mondial, chute de 50% de la population mondiale et un tas d'autres problèmes politique et sociaux... Tout ça avant la fin du siècle.

in reply to Emeritus Prof Christopher May • • •there was an excellent article in the Grauniad a few weeks back, arguing that US withdrawal offered a golden opportunity to the EU to build bridges into Africa, starting with a recognition of the damage from colonialism and an honest discussion about meaningful reparations for slavery in the form of preferential trade agreements
It’ll never happen with the EU’s Fortress Europe mentality but it could also go a long way to stemming the flow of climate refugees heading north
