In some countries (Germany and Austria, for example), Nazi propaganda is illegal. And in those countries much stronger evidence is necessary to convict someone of it. Baseless accusations on twitter are unlikely to work.

This kind of behaviour would most likely be prosecuted as harassment/stalking instead of hate speech/libel. So unless you follow someone around and harass them - just saying someone's so-called "deadname" shouldn&#x

Northern Ireland is still de-facto part of the EU. So unless the UK rejoins the EU or recognises United Ireland - they are stuck in this limbo.

The ideologies themselves have been banned. You can call those parties whatever you want - you will still have to talk to the alphabet boys.

The Communists invaded and occupied my country for 45 years. The Nazis invaded and slaughtered almost all of our Jews. We know very well who is a Nazi or a Communist. We don't want another Holocaust or Gulag camps here ever again. I&#x

There is a reason why KiwiFarms is not hosted in my country. We have hate speech and data privacy laws that would prevent it from being hosted here. All that dox crap alone violates the GDPR. There even was a thread on that forum where the

As far as I know - no laws prohibit adult pornography. Payment processors just decided to enforce their own laws.

What if Chrome started to do this? "We detected a n-word in your comment - your Google account has been suspended." Chrome already autocompletes form fields and does spell checking. Adding something like this would be trivial. The

Tbh I would like to see a movie about superheroes or aliens from a non-Hollywood director as well. They could put their own unique spin to it.

If a local director could make a movie with comparable quality to Hollywood movies - I would watch his movie. Hollywood only dominates, because their movies have way higher production quality. There is only so much you can do with shoestrin

We watch mostly Hollywood movies. Local output has a pretty low market share. Both due to low budgets and the fact that Hollywood can make a lot more movies per year.

AI is the only way for small countries to compete with Hollywood. I'm sick and tired of all those glorified stage plays that my country produces simply because we have no access to Hollywood money. Meanwhile Hollywood has so much money

Yup - as someone from a country where -10 degrees is considered a normal winter day I think that self driving cars should not rely on road markings at all. Even road signs can be unreadable after a particularly nasty blizzard. I've yet

How do they work in winter then? You can't see much skin if someone is wearing a winter coat. Right - self driving cars are a solution for Silicon Valley only only so they don't even bother testing those cars elsewhere.

Why are you talking about cryptocurrency as if it was a new technology? It's 15 years old now and it's already pretty clear that it's not very useful for ordinary people.

But I don't want to live past 100 in an 80-90 year old's body. What's the point? Life extension only makes sense if we reverse aging somehow and stop it at around 25-30 years of age.

The first version of CUDA was released in 2007 so I would not be surprised if they started working on it in the 90s. These things take time. Nvidia also made sure that CUDA runs on gaming GPUs and supports Windows. This is why its tools are

3D models are a lot more complicated. You need to generate models, materials and textures separately. Need to split the model in separate parts that make sense. Need to know where to use spline meshes, where to use instancing, how to group

AI is a tool and is not going to replace artists any time soon. Proper 3D art generators don't even exist yet. The ones that do are useless toys. We aren't even close to generators that can output anything even close to what a beg
