He's also being downvoted because economic left-wing policies are different from the socio-cultural left. And then again because I don't know of any recent leftist government advocating nationalisation of drug companies?

Some cities in Europe have famously tried to place a ceiling on the price of a square meter, to varying degrees of success. The German federal government has notoriously reversed Berlin's decision to do so. Since land belongs to everyb

State-run liquor stores are quite normal in Norway. So at least there's that, it depends on your definition of groceries. I've just walked home with the kid and people are drinking beer at 11AM, which is… liquid cereal.

I recall from the Lost Connections book that this was one of known causes of depression. People doing the same job, but with a sense of empowerment and ownership, were quite protected from such a negative outcome.

I'm not really on an anti-China rhetoric, they can be a valuable partner and I think we do have a positive relationship with them. BUT , they don't need to win all public government contracts by undercutting local companies. They

Acknowledging the mistake immediately seems like a good start, as I've said. Life doesn't always have to be from the perspective from “a manager”, these are community volunteers doing untold hours of unpaid work. Just be a person,

The response was condescending and very… American. The call ensures what, that you'll be more receiving to their grievances? That nothing is on the record? A lot of people don't want to jump in calls, ever. The initial response sh

I submitted 2 patches during an 2018 open night to bring in more volunteers in Berlin. The actual folk there were amazing, but the review process, tooling, and bureaucracy was so upsetting that I never bothered again. I'm not sure the

Alt isn't very exciting. And for Setapp, consider whether buying the software outright isn't better. After all the time paying for Setapp, once you stop, you've little to show for it. It's akin to using Spotify but ownin

This seems like the most obvious solution, provided local offers aren't massively more expensive. I don't see why we wouldn't award contracts to EU companies that create jobs here, pay taxes here, and follow local regulations

I have Alt, Epic, and Setapp installed. Setapp is something I had to stop paying for while unemployed, but has good stuff if you can afford it. Alt is mostly empty, but now lets you add multiple sources for more sideloading options. Basical

Ah, I see, you're right. I'm surprised they're a big exporter of something that would've sold like hot cakes to the Nazi party. The people making this crap must sleep very well at night…

I'm not versed enough in the full history of Israel, but perhaps attacking several of your neighbours, buying anti-citizen and anti-journalism spyware, raping prisoners, keeping a de facto dictator in power… well, I think Israel has do

Good point, I didn't think of that. Then perhaps it's on smaller businesses to choose smaller competitors to Google; and this bad publicity might convince such smaller users that Google is a Very Bad Idea in terms of hosting your

30 days is long enough to form a habit, so it might be a good way to see how you can live without social media. My life is unquestionably better without Meta/Twitter/etc., but I have a hard time convincing anyone that that is the

Bad publicity isn't very convenient, and a human-powered customer support centre wouldn't be immensely expensive for them. Seems like an odd strategy to not care at all.

This really is a very wrong take. My iPhone 11 isn't that old but it struggles to render some websites that are Chrome-optimised. Heck, even my M1 Air has a hard time sometimes. It's almost 2026, we can certainly stop blaming the

Centralised assets beget cross-domain fingerprinting and tracking. The extension DecentralEyes tackles precisely this problem.

This is disingenuous as a counter-argument because it's never been possible at this scale — perhaps excepting the Stasi. The sentiment has arisen because: 1) yes, people are more likely to fight it. 2) it's being done at an unprec

Directive 2011/92/EU article 5.2 would suggest no less than 1 year of imprisonment. Depending on how kindly you read the other articles, and given how much pornography instances he had, I'd argue for more.

After reading so many apologist comments dismissing the article's points with whataboutism, yours is the first comment that I think addresses the situation properly. As a developer, it's very hard to not mistake the forest for the

If only there were 2 big corporations hellbent on making PWAs and side-loading harder/worse… and perhaps that duopoly could then donate some money for the president's ballroom, and maybe they could even be found guilty of price-fi

I think in Europe speed traps have to be signalled beforehand? I'm not sure if that's the case everywhere but the signs are usually there, so perhaps that's why such a feature is allowed to exist.

This would be a much better idea if journalism wasn't so behold to their corporate owners, all in a world where fewer and fewer media houses exist. I do agree that you might want to go to a news outlet first, which Snowden did well to

It could be local-first. I don't mind the cross-device sync being done centrally, of course, but the app specifically asks for access to Home and Local Network. I wonder if Home Assistant could deal with blackouts…

So much of Belgium runs on Azure… it's honestly baffling how many services are down, there's no resilience built into (even large) companies anymore.

I really like your comment. Of course all the LLM-generated content really is for other LLMs to read/scrape.
