I've been thinking about this for a day or two now, and I'm pulling my fiction ebooks off of Amazon. Not decided on my nonfic, but leaning towards pulling that too.
I'll leave the paperbacks up there for now, just because I don't have a good alternative, but will def be looking into one.

Bruxelles ha un problema: il 2035 doveva essere l'anno dell'elettrico puro. Zero benzina, zero diesel, solo batterie. Due anni dopo i numeri dicono altro. Le ibride tengono il 43% del mercato, l'elettrico cresce a macchia di leopardo. Germania e Italia spingono per le deroghe. La Cina ride. E l'Europa? Scopre che imporre una rivoluzione dall'alto funziona meglio sulla carta che nelle concessionarie.

A concrete outdoor staircase is shown in the image, with a grassy area visible alongside it. The staircase has approximately six steps and is flanked by a concrete post on one side. There is a red circle drawn around an animal lying on the second step from the bottom. The animal appears to be long and slender, possibly a snake, with a tan and brown pattern. The background includes a brick wall and some greenery.

blog.system76.com/post/pop-os-… la nouvelle version de Pop OS (l'ubuntu custo de System76) est arrivée, avec un nouvel environnement de bureau (Cosmic Epoch) entièrement écrit en Rust. Le futur nous dira s'il sera un concurrent sérieux à Gnome et KDE mais en tout cas ils mettent le coeur à l'ouvrage. Bon en pratique il va falloir encore du temps avant qu'il soit vraiment stable, mais je pense que ca vaut le coup de suivre ce projet.

Well, once again Farmer's political myopia (naivety) has got them in trouble...
UK farmers mostly voted for Brexit & then found the withdrawal of support from the EU was not replaced and markets they expected to remain open, closed to them - they had been warned;
Now US farmers, the majority who voted for the Tangerine Tyrant are finding his tariff policies are wrecking their livelihoods.
Perhaps, a good move would be political classes at Agricultural colleges?
