My apologies I was. But nevertheless, these are still these are elected representatives of the member states. These are not unknown "bureaucrats from Brussels".

The design of the EU which gives the member states elected politicians (heads of state) the most power is very intentional.

This is a bizarre argument. Emmanuel Macron sits on the EU Council. He has no democratic mandate? The entire point of the EU design is that ultimately the member states national governments (the heads of) are the most powerful and set the d

The EU Council are the democratically elected leaders of the member states. How is them deciding the direction not "democratic"?

Please could you cite your sources for this. I think what you've typed is not representative of what happened here. My understanding is that the EU Council forced this second-reading, not the Commission. To provide evidence for my argu

Because it is so insanely useful, having it cut off is quite jarring.

You didn't address my point at all. > The member states want to reactivate the transitional regulation for voluntary monitoring of messages by technology groups, which expired on April 3, in an expedited procedure. The Council adopt

For what it's worth, I love GeForce Now. I no longer need to maintain a gaming PC, find somewhere to keep it, etc. I was so sceptical that streaming games could work but it does, and it is amazing.

>Technically, this is meant for bypassing the EU commission. But of course, in reality it is for getting past the Danish and potential Belgian and Hungarian and other's vetoes. The commission really wants this. Excuse me? That is qu

You're blaming the wrong people and making this worse. The article is literally about the EU Council, the elected heads of states of all the EU nations. The elected leaders of the EU nations really, really want chat control. The Commis

The EU Commission does the bidding of the elected EU Council. The Commission is sort of a civil service.

Denmark seem to be the ones pushing chat control the hardest.

I am what you might call an AI enthusiast. I've embraced it for coding, and find it has refreshed me. But the stuff you're talking about here drives me nuts.

I haven't tried this model. We have a corporate plan for several models, and they are liberal with our spend, because we're always in an arms race with our competitors in our industry. So any advantage we can get, we need to take,

Look at the state of the comments on that thread. "This is completely false! Code is review is to ..." proceeds to state an opinion. Sometimes, some days, I just look forward to not having to deal with programmer hubris ever again

This is me too. First access to the internet was through a dial-up to a "bulletin board" (via a girlfriend's fathers account). From there you could launch a shell and get (I will get things wrong here) lynx, gopher, usenet, t

This is just life in general. Every generation thinks it is unique in growing older and thinking how much worse things have got since when they were young (or their parents were young). You can find examples of this in very old literature.

The problem with this argument is that there are an infinite amount of "crackpot" views that then need to be "acknowledged" and engaged with.

Misleading misinformation. The EU laws come from direction set by the Council (elected representatives from the national parliaments). Then their chosen civil service (the Commission) formulate and propose those laws based on the direction

You can't restrain the power of the Council. The Council is the member states. What you're proposing would take power away from the member states and hand it to, who? People already think the EU is undemocratic, imagine after that

Yes we understand all code merged. Yes, I have coding rules and standards that the agent follows to ensure it writes code in virtually the same style as the whole team does. Someone isn't going to let my change be merged if they don&#x
