You never ever oppose "the current thing."

> And, why hasn't the EU shut off all oil and gas purchases from Russia immediately?

Because they let themselves get too dependent on foreign energy, so doing so would have meant letting their own people freeze.

> And? Your point? Speaking to diplomats is suddenly taboo?

You can speak on phone, receiving one from countries killing civilians on purpose is making a statement. If you make a statement you will be heard, and I don't think many EU countries will be happy. Not to mention, you know humanitarian aspects - you can buy your oil without blood.

>Who cares whether india is a democracy or not?

Anybody who wants to do business. Democracies have stable, predictable rule of law. Do you want to invest in a country where a dictator could simply decide that he is going take your assets?

You didn't see Germany criticized for buying oil from Russia? Boy, they are the most criticized country for doing that (and oil and gas) - they basically enabled Russia to do the invasion. Nord Stream 1 and 2 come to mind. They made themselves (and few other countries) dependent on that bloody import.

India received Lawrow recently, he is not allowed in any EU country.

But there is a difference in long dependency and completely new buy. India is not dependent on Russian oil, Germany is (I mean, if they stop, cars will stop, people will freeze in houses because of lack of gas to heat their houses).

Whole Eastern Europe has mostly Russian military hardware and guess what, we are basically enemies with Russia and we manage. We buy new equipment from Western countries now but large majority of equipment is still Soviet made.

Choices.

BTW. Regarding the oil and gas, India started buying when it didn't need to . EU is dependent on that oil and gas (Eastern Europe was forced on that dependency, Westerners stupidly joined) - e.g. cars will stop on streets, people will freeze in houses (ok, maybe not now, fortunately Spring is coming, but we still have 0-8 Celcius here, not fun to be in unheated house in that temperature). And we try to stop it, e.g. in Poland we worked on that and hopefully by the end of the year we can stop importing gas from Russia.

It will be hard because India likes to buy from Russia recently and doesn't see a problem with invasion.

You're probably aware of this, but once the connection has been mediated via the cloud, data will usually flow directly between client and server. But yes, to avoid this initial connection mediation, you'll need the "Cloudless Fluid Connections" from the Enterprise team plan[0]. I use the basic $35 single user macOS program which requires cloud mediation.

I don't like the forced cloud mediation either, but the protocol is just so much better, almost comically better, than NoMachine, RDP-over-macOS, VNC, X11-forwarding, Screen Sharing.app, etc.

Not yet unfortunately. I'll add it in the future, but I'm preoccupied with homework right now.
