But if it would be a US company people in Europe would have the same kind of distrust like they have right now with china. The US is even working on their great Firewall. It's red apples Vs blue apples at this point.

Or should it be reason enough. The EU should ban Meta as well, no question. This foreign propaganda, risking mental health in teenagers and all that stuff is US propaganda shoved down our eyes.

Or DJI. Side loading is so easy, we usually just call it "installing an app" there is no hacking or magic around that, works just like a .exe with some extra protections.

> Europe is an ally and under US govt defense umbrella That's an absolute illusion. And definitely absolutely wrong to call it ally. Most govs don't want to have anything to do with trump, musk and all this bullshit. Most Europ

Are there any numbers for that? I highly doubt tiktok is doomed to fail just because is banning it. It's still way more popular than any Meta or US app for that matter, is right now.

Meanwhile the rest of the modern world is not banning apps because of propaganda. China and USA is.

I don't care about tiktok. But if this is the reality we are stuck in right now. I really hope the EU is banning all the privacy melting Meta apps soon.

As soon as you want to exchange bitcoin to something real world'ish you are telling some company that the sending wallet is yours, which is now attached to bank details or even more verification. All transactions are public.

There is XMR (Monero) which solves the transparency issue of bitcoin and seems popular in the dark web. I highly doubt I would find any dealer on the street taking crypto tho. Alone the transaction times of 10+ minutes don't fit in a r

Today the few file sharing networks left are full of high quality sound, well organized and take less than a minute per song. I didn't know until recently either, but that literally got way better.

Trolling is still essentially that, it's just that state actors and media decided to call scam and attacks trolling.

How else are you going to buy drugs tho? Or pay for other basic needs that your government may find unnecessary?

I hope they do better than Google. Gemini feels like AI could have been 10 years ago. No context, no smartness, no fun. Put it in a specific role and you'll see that it acts like a badly 'trained' AIML bot.

Side effects, random intolerances with other medicine (ex. Pain killers) and a very long stopping period. From all the natural remedies that get ignored usually this is one of the more complicated ones.

So could they use any other obscure platform. Ex. Restaurants are prone for not having their own proper/updated websites, but there are thousands of website builders just for that. There is zero reason to use Facebook as business websi

The majority of people I know does not have a Facebook account. They are most likely never finding the business in first place. I don't think it's a 1% problem. At least not here in Europe. I just checked, by official numbers 60%

This. The zones never have been complete and sometimes to restrictive. I rather have no zones programmed in because I know that I am fully liable anyway. Cars don't refuse to get into one way streets and it's 100% the drivers faul

I am happy to avoid any business, club or anything that thinks it's reasonable to have their opening hours, or any information on Facebook only (or Instagram for that matter). If I am not supposed to know, why even try.

What are you even talking about when you meet them? Are you reiterating each others Facebook posts together? Not having seen a friend for a longer time and talking about all the things that happened is the one thing that friendship is about

If someone literally thinks it's going to hurt our relationship that I am not following their facebook nonsense I am totally happy to not have them as friend anymore

On the other side some people (me) are happy to have an actual self hosting setup and not being forced to use a docker setup with unknown overhead.

I honestly don't even know what to answer. You just generalized some places you think you saw as Europe. I live in Switzerland, you can earn 500k if you want to. But you can also have a relaxed live. All your neighbours aren't poo

Those of us who learned computing mostly trough it's limitations are building software considering for them, even if mostly not necessary. Other just use electron for a command line wrapper.

I like using dell Wyse 5070. Cheap and available, basically same or less power than a Rpi but without all the limitations. Building any server on a SD card or external HD is just causing stress for their future self.

I have kinda bad night sight, and recently went to some parties where more or less everyone was wearing black I couldn't tell where person a ends and person b begins most of the time.
