This is not true. The EU isn't asking for immigrants to "pursue diversity". It's just about sharing the load of legitimate asylum seekers as currently the load is too heavily borne by the border countries. And we had cri

No, but it makes a first strike by Russia possible. It's better to have a balanced number of warheads so that this isn't possible. For this reason the US and Russia always negotiated before reducing warhead numbers bilaterally. Bu

I just couldn't live in such a public society. Or such a restrictive one.

"The West" wasn't really relevant in this discussion, all I wanted to point out is that Russia has a much larger pool of cannonfodder who can't refuse (the benefit of a dictatorship) so drawing things out is always to th

It's because lives are meaningless to the Russian government. They'll just throw more literal bodies at the problem. Nobody's going to stop them as they're a dictatorship. And now they're even getting North Koreans

France has a few nukes, less than 300. And mainly sub based (and only a handful subs). Nothing compared to Russia which has 5500. They could be taken out of play.

Why do you think regulation is bad? We didn't regulate adtech and now we're stuck with pervasive tracking that's hurting society and consumer privacy. Better to be more cautious with AI too so we can prevent negative societal

Thanks!! I saw there wasn't all that much on github so I missed that part.

I wonder if you can still download and use it here in the EU.. I don't care about licensing legalese, but I guess you have to sign up somewhere to get the goods?

I don't think unlimited free speech is the answer anymore. I see a lot of bad actors taking advantage of this. For example a lot of republican anti-LGBT propaganda is flowing across the Atlantic through Instagram and TikTok. A lot of p

This is kinda the same for big enterprises too. They start off with really great deals, then every other part is "only a cheap addon, much cheaper than competing product XYZ". Then when you're completely stuck in the M365 swa

I meant it's not for policing. I'm sure they do their geopolitical manipulation like when echelon was used to get a one over on airbus. But the NSA wouldn't provide evidence in criminal prosecutions but europol is all about t

That's data in transit, they wouldn't be able to view end to end encrypted content with that. Chatcontrol specifically aims to break that.

Chat Control is indeed terrible. But they've done a lot of good too. Like RoHS, GDPR, DSA/DMA.

by wkat4242 1y ago
Well yes of course but don't think this couldn't happen here either. A lot of countries like France or Germany are very close to falling to the same extreme right forces the US has.

Patrick Breyer has an article how American foundation Thorn is heavily lobbying Europol for this stuff. And there's some cross hiring going on according to him. Clearly it's not even just "for the children" anymore. Just

That link preview bothers me a bit from a privacy standpoint. Hovering over a link will now hit that website. Hmm.

No of course but it will be. There's another vote on the 17th of October and most countries are in favour now :( And if it fails again I'm sure they will keep trying like they have been until they can finally push it through. Nota

Hmm I had the HTC Touch Pro 2 and it was the worst phone I ever had in my life. It was given me by work, I didn't pick it. It ran a customised version of Windows CE with a lot of super fake glossy overlays that slowed it down to an abs

> Does Google want to have Android and Chrome stripped from their control? That would be amazing but it's not going to happen. And the EU will back their sideloading validation because they want to spy on all of us anyway. This will

This is because nobody makes money when you set your house on fire. Apple makes a ton of money off that app store.

Chatcontrol in particular. If you control your phone it's going to be trivial to bypass it.

It's because they have killed all the alternatives. So you have no choice. Though personally I watch very little YouTube. I have no patience for long vids and even if you pay for premium it's unwatchable without sponsorblock. If i

The real interest is their protection of their sweet 30% revenue stream. There are many ways to protect security, leaving all your keys in the hands of one party is not the only one. And there should also be the right to be able to opt out
