US has its sanctions again Cuba for reasons they very clearly voiced for over half century - takeover of US property in Cuba after the revolution.

But to be honest, I think *every* country has the right to say "we don't trade with X because".

Since US has such a dominating position in world trade, its sanctions *are* quite severe.

But nothing prevents Cuba from buying any equipment they like from Russia or China, which both will happily provide.

@strypey

What hardware? Like Huawei? 🤔

Sorry, but the stories about sanctions preventing Cuba from flourishing economically and socially are very much like Western left 80's fables about life in the country I was born in: the communist Poland. In short, they didn't know a shit but very much wanted the socialist dream to be true, no matter what cost.

There's a pretty good book by Ulrike Meinhofs's daughter, Bettina Röhl "Making communism fun", that describes in great detail her first hand experiences with RAF team.

@workingclasshistory

RAF was just a proxy for Stasi. Interestingly, RAF members were hiding and resting in security services safe houses in communist Poland.

Also, a summary of the crazy way Cuban internet works." #Cuba

To i tak nieźle, bo ściągalność zaległości wobec ZUS jest na poziomie 7% 😉

Ale o akurat wynika głównie z polityki samego ZUS, z którą miałem nieprzyjemność się zetknąć osobiśćie https://echelon.pl/hodowla-odsetek-w-zus.html

Oraz z gigantycznych umorzeń składek ZUS nieopłaconych np. przez kopalnie Kompanii Węglowej.

Bo kultura analizowania polityki społecznej w oparciu o fakty się w Polsce nie przyjęła 😉

I had /e/ on Redmi Note 4 and similar experiences. But once installed it worked like a charm.

I have FairPhone 3 with /e/ preinstalled and it's great.

I also like Volla Phone with Ubuntu Touch which has been just announced

It will be complex, but certainly can happen.

Kaseya supplied services and software to other companies, and such contracts always contain provisions about data protection and information security. If Kaseya customers choose to sue them for violation of contract, they have huge chances of winning.

The Guardian: Thousands march in #Cuba 🇨🇺 in rare mass protests amid economic crisis

> I’m here because of hunger, because there’s no medicine, because of power cuts – because there’s a lack of everything

Sorry, Guardian - none of these is caused by "US sanctions". The protesters said it explicitly:

> I want a total change: a change of government, multiparty elections, and the end of #communism
