It's hard for me to comprehend how ublock origin blocks a total of 10 different tracking scripts on your website https://rulebricks.com/ and all you can come up with is a small text in the bottom saying "This webs

Unfortunately, due to safety reasons Apple cannot allow you to leave the walled garden, it is only in your own best interest. All communication services on our iOS devices require at least one US-based NSA-integrated middleman. /s

Yes, 100%. They are fully compromised and an extension of US dominance. They can and will be weaponized against us. Same with Apple iCloud - one day Europeans will wake up and see that all their pictures have been deleted.

If push comes to shove, these services can and will be weaponized against EU interests. They are bugged and backdoored to the brim. If we see a risk in chinese-made electrical buses which can potentially be remotely shut down by an integrat

At least the vuln was old enough so that they couldn't blame AI for it, otherwise the article would read different ;)

You're getting very emotional about this. Are you a US citizen or not? Because IIRC in one comment you complained about double taxation for US citizens when living abroad and here you suddenly play the immigrant family card. It's

So you're trying to say that taking a flight is some sort sacrifice? Most of the people I know have lived in at least one other country for several months, while most of US citizens not once in their life have left the USA and don&#x27

Arguments in favor of US politics which are based on "mature markets" and "capital" have become extremely weak since they started dismantling Fed autonomy and used ChatGPT to roll the dice on random tariffs. It doesn&#x2

Calling people "bitter" doesn't win an argument. I think US tech workers get quite emotional once they feel the slightest headwind that threatens to burst their bubble.

SV is in the US because of heavy government spending to further national interests. And US intelligence community was one of the first to realize that total domination of home computers / smartphones / social media allows them to

In the US you have to privately pay for many things that you get for free in more developed nations. For example safety is not guaranteed due to extreme homelessness and easy access to guns, so you have to pay more for gated communities and

People don't like how you both virtue signal and show ignorance at the same time. It's not about "someone in my company is running some kind of ads service" but that you and your colleagues collectively have had a net ne

Why you feel the need to discuss a "far right" in Europe while US tech leadership is performing roman salutes in front of live cameras? Muslim refugees are not responsible for Epstein, Greenland, US import duties, US ignoring Mins

I recommend you read "careless people", the book about Facebook, where it is documented that Facebook illegally installed spyware alongside the Facebook app on the smartphones of their users. They monitored the apps their users wh

AI race is a very good example, because Microsoft customers in the EU pay significantly increased Microsoft license fees so that Microsoft can give that money to OpenAI. Without Microsoft having non-US customers as a cash cow the AI valuati

Sorry to be blunt, but it is extremely inconvenient to be force-exposed to internal politics of some religious shithole country which twice votes against their own interests. Where people don't believe in healthcare but accept school s

US tech companies are taking up middlemen roles to extract wealth from developed nations, while not adding a lot of value on their own. Their moat is not that big, and there are mature viable alternatives. One does not need google in their

I think you have the causation wrong. The far right is rising mostly due to social media which is full of fake news and propaganda. People working at US tech companies nurture this "engagement" in order to get rich while poisoning

How about instead of taking the easy way out and preserving your wealth you stay in the US and take up your generational responsibility and figure out how to fix the situation that you and your fellow citizens have created?

US tech workers believe their own lies and think they have some sort of magic sauce. For decades they've enjoyed government welfare and US-friendly regulation in many countries, which kept non-US competition small. An influx of non-US

Software quality is just canary in the coal mine that the company culture has changed and they will continue to enshittify their products.

Does your partial amnesia also affect the part where US tech companies such as Facebook actively embedded engineers within political campaigns who then ran fake news campaigns for extreme candidates, resulting in the two-time refusal of US

Impressive how someone who worked at google takes a stance on morals and uses that to reverse causality and victim blame. Europe is setting up a tripwire force because they know from the past that lunatic ramblings of a leader should be tak

Even if you have the best intentions, customers need to build trust through contracts and policies. They won't care about what you post here on social media. To me it seems that you have not paid sufficient attention to important parts

I don't think you are correct. Take for example something like workday where companies manage their HR data. It's not only about the web interface but also about the fact that all of the implemented IT processes have been checked

Good to call out use of semi-technical weasel words. Their privacy policy is far from GDPR compliant. In a legal sense, they do not respect data privacy rights of their customers at all. https://mailpilot.chat/#/privacy

I think that we should discern between nonfunctional and functional requirements. Right now, implementation of functional requirements can be done very fast, with the effects that you mention. But nonfunctional requirements such as reliabil
