Mainstream parties could take a hard stance on immigration and destroy „far right movements“ overnight. But somehow they are not interested in saving the democracy, instead they prefer to ignore hot topics and pretend they don’t exist. Hmmm

I wouldn’t be surprised looking at his historical track record of funding NGOs with specific angles and what he said.

How can Apple ensure what other cloud models do in their servers?

In this case it looks like EU is requiring to let competitors mess with Apple users privacy.

Porn addiction huuge too. It's slightly smaller because of it's nature, but it's definitely a pandemic-level health issue.

Too taxing in what sense? Too boring? Too hard? If it’s the later, slow down to a brisk walk to build some stamina. If it’s the former, start watching your surroundings. There’s a ton of things that are fun to watch.

I don't think it would be worse isolation than consuming standardized mass-produced content. Even a simple prompt, thinking what you want and so on is already the beginning of a creativity. Turning on TV/Netflix/whatever is n

On top of that, I wonder if it wouldn't be for the better. 100 years ago many regions had distinct cultures. 200 years ago pretty much each village had a wee different culture. With slightly different fairy tales or songs and so on. No

Nice insult. But what's your point? That women do not tend to have hormones-induced mood swings?

Welcome to the life of fringe subcultures. Of course subcultures, even most fringe ones, still have some community. But even in generated content world, some people would end up with similar taste and that generated content being similar. T

I think individual specialty and massive group specialty is somewhat different. For individual specialty (be it skills/abilities or lack of them), people can choose career or life paths accordingly. E.g. I’ve met a dead/mute const

There're always exceptions. But so far what I see it's 100-to-1 if not worse. And I'm not at all surprised that women ain't exactly keen of lugging around heavy weights. Especially due to damage it can do to women-specif

There's lots and lots of jobs where physical strength makes a fuckton difference. I don't see construction workers, garbage people or figherfighters using exoskeletons yet. Also, ask women how their mood and abilities swing during

What you call „gender norms“ is the result of society trying to contain said differences. Physical possibilities are differences, drives are different, temperament and it's swings are different. Also many other differences. But hey, le

You may want to do some research on this thing called „hormones“ and how they differ in both genders.

And parents are acting out for myriad of reasons. There's a never-ending chain if you go that way. At the end of the day, bully victims end up holding the short end of the stick. And they frequently become bullies themselves. Maybe sto

Or it will get a new name. Just like „Chat Control“ is far from the first name for this BS.

It`s totally possible. My city excels at this. We are at level where bus system is not enough at all. But the municipality is trying to avoid it since it’s seen as politically tricky. Nobody wants to start it, take the beating and then let

Not really. Unless the restriction is to take a generic lane and dedicate it to buses. But if restriction is to take a generic lane and give it to bicycles, then both cars and buses sit in the same traffic jam.

A used one probably has not-so-healthy battery and a bit worn keyboard. Maybe some scratches on the screen as well. At this price, a new device seems very tempting over dealing with a used hardware which is always a bit of a lottery. Perfor

As ex-iOS dev, usually it's because devs want the new shinny APIs. And after some point stakeholders are OK to stop supporting a tiny percentage of users stuck on old iOS versions. In my experience it was never because of Apple.

More like this is a small piece of the puzzle in Russian-Ukraine war. Iran plays quite a big role in supplying Russians. If Iran is taken out, power balance in that war may change too.

Then apply for citizenship, take language and, usually, constitution exam and get the citizenship. If somebody doesn’t care enough to prove they know the basics of the language and legal system in the country… Maybe they shouldn’t have voti

It brings another problem that this may become sort of hush money government-at-the-time friendly artists. Here it's already a problem for culture-ministry-financed projects. When some artists get funding, others don't... And then

That is a problem too. Offensive art is art too. I'd even argue that offensive art in many cases is better than non-offensive one. But yes, I guess at best „politically correct offensive“ artists will get approved.

> 325 Euros/week sounds like basic rent & food & transportation. Not artsy projects with enough spare Euros for someone to skim serious money off from. Exactly. But it's a nice addition for „project-conscious“ crowd who

What I see among artist friends, they have no problems holding a job. But their art is not exactly „bill-paying“. It's not bad, it's just not commercializable mainstream. At best it covers their expenses for studios, equipment and

I’m all for encouraging people to create art. But I think people who benefit from this won’t be artists. But people who are good at making money off artsy projects. I’d see much more value in investing in supply and demand. First, provide f
