Russia doesn't produce content that anyone wants to pay for. So piracy is no economic loss for Putin. Secondly Russia's economy is going down the drain and the population definitely needs distraction from the war. Bread and circus

And yet they were the only ones blowing up fascists. Every time it's not the moderate progressive democrats who lead the resistance. Shame that.

At least in theory the blocking in EU has to go through a judge. Blocking itself is ofcourse not at all controversial in Europe. Aside from some free speech maximalists people have no problem with shutting down criminal operations.

I am quite happy with my premium Netflix account (even though I don't use it much) but if they started showing ads I'd cancel in a heartbeat. People my generation won't go back. But the children of today who grow up in the Ad

I understand why people want to escape India but it would be better if they try to unfuck their own country. The West cannot absorb a billion refugees.

We don't know what the US does. They are just as enigmatic as the Chinese to the point that US Congress is not even allowed to learn about the secret projects.

My mom. She is at that age when tying your shoelaces becomes difficult. The human body really was never supposed to go over 50 but modern medicine finds a way.

My mother has rheumatics and she was looking at an SUV for her back. It gets more difficult for old people to climb into a tiny car- and for old people a car is a lifeline. Lots of big cars are driven by small old ladies and it has nothing

This blog makes a good point: governments are already overworked dealing with pedos, terrorists and spies. Ad fraud is a victimless crime that voters don't care about so in all likelihood a low priority.

Funny thing about toothpaste. In my country it has basically been the same brands since WW2. Sure there is innovation but nobody new ever enters the market.

The ridiculous techno optimism on HN always confused me. No nobody is getting their electronic waifus and UBI.

China has a base in Djibouti. Since our Burger overlords are failing their appointed tasks maybe it's time for Soy to rise.

Having to hijack a federal election commission is harder than taking over a few Republican Christian conservative districts. Remember that is because of the FBI that black people in Georgia can vote.

AI is America's last chance to salvage its empire. Nothing will be allowed to impede it.

In my country they are really pushing parcel lockers. And it makes sense- most people are not at home during the day. If they can put a 24/7 locker in every neighborhood or apartment complex it would be much more efficient.

True story I had to do a urine test for a warehouse job once. This was near minimum wage work. Clown world.

There was a time when I cared about wallpapers but nowadays my PC is just used for videogames. Anything actually important is done on my smartphone.

Most people couldn't read. It's the same reason why Catholics have all these statues. In the 16th century a sizeable literate middle class in combination with book printing changed Western civilization profoundly.

Only old school media is holding themselves to a standard. No AI, no sponsored content. And thank god we still have a public broadcaster. The future is unfortunately propaganda and brain rot.

The European and US weapons industry is heavily intertwined because of the cold war. In hindsight the whole world should have planned for the "what if America goes Nazi" eventuality.

For a long time having non sick and stinky servants was a boon but I suppose that with AI and robots the American elites no longer need the poors?

The Dutch PM for some reason uses X (or his PR agents do). There is always a lot of impotent homophobic rage coming from the retweets. It is all very sad. But that's the US first amendment for you.

No country started out as an island of prosperity. They got there through hard work, sensible decision making and yes a little luck. When in the 16th century all of Europe got involved in religious wars a Dutch leader decided that religion
