Is there much benefit at all in using vpn on Google Android OS?
It can mask your ip from other sites, some have adblocking on them too.
I personally use PiVPN which gives me access to PiHole so I have adblocking on the go.
So like Google still gets stuff, but I figure in trying to get privacy, every little helps.

Your thoughts on the fuel protests?
I've mostly seen people confused what the protests are actually trying to acheieve (my personal view). Given this is a global issue. A price cap on fuel would only lead to quicker fuel rationing as we're running out of fuel either way.
I hadnt heard there was a racist component to the protests which makes me sad.
I rent in Ireland, so id love to see things like balcony solar be an actual option (the green party are pushing for this). It'd provide a quick and easy way to lower my monthly costs!

Privacy.com style services for non-US
Revolut does this, I've heard not to trust it with much of your money (apparently hacked accounts or something), and I dunno how the company is privacy wise.
But you have unlimited single use virtual cards with an account on it

3 Big Policies To Fix Ireland's Economy
I dont know much about parts 1 and 2 so cant comment..
But part 3 doesnt seem to take climate debt (fines and such) into account (https://www.irishtimes.com/business/2025/03/04/ireland-faces-eu-bill-of-up-to-26bn-if-it-misses-climate-targets/), nor the global impact of fossil fuels and the ethical implications of the suggested actions.
It also seems to ignore electrification of industrial practices, vehicles, etc.
And while wind is definitely the most likely to provide for the total needed power, not including solar which is cheap and manufacturing is getting easier, with increasing efficiency, seems to be an oversight. (https://ember-energy.org/) Solar outout has over doubled since 2021.
