  • Wasn't supporting the victims of Nazi concentration camps a reason of state?

  • The imbecile in chief didn't know Puerto Rico is an American Colony. Do you expect him and his lackeys to know about the Virgin Islands?

  • That's the thing, Software Engineers have choices.

    Yes, all big companies will do some dubious things.

    But then you have big tech that does all those dubious things and is also breaking democratic institutions everywhere with a sledgehammer.

    And then you have Palentir, which are literally Hollywood movie villains.

    At this point they are light years of their livelihood depending on it. There's no way they don't notice where the bombs are falling, they had plenty of time to look around and have decided they don't care.

  • They have two types of people:

    • Software Engineers and Computer Scientists that don't care who gets hurt as long as they get to work on their interesting problem. I call them the Wernher von Braun club.
    • The ones that are also prospective customers

    The Venn Diagram might be close to a circle.

  • Who said anything about good person? He made it to lead senator of an unholy big tent coalition of a party. Of course he is a spineless butt kisser. Which is still better than a hypocritical backstabber.

  • Save that for the eventually of the plebs not understanding your brilliant meme. Nothing like a good old scandal to sweep less successful endeavours under the rug.

  • You are illuminating wrong. First you do the meme, then you replace 3 governments, start one regional war, engineer the merger of two global entertainment companies, and make sure the right actor gets cast into a movie you'll make into a cult classic to make the meme relevant.

  • Android Location manager can get the location without Google Services and there are alternative notification services like ntfy.

    EDIT: The location manager is part of the official API and ntfy is available on the play store, so apps using them will also be allowed. Besides, it's android, you can install alternative app stores or install apps directly. Maybe it's a good time to teach vulnerable communities how to do it safely, because using Big Tech services is not safe for them.

  • Two wrongs don't make a right. And if your neighbour is dosing the neighbourhood with gasoline while wildfires are on the horizon, you smack him, you don't go and get your own can.

  • French Guiana is only part of the EU because it's part of France, and even then it needs plenty of exceptions to make it work.

    Cyprus was already aligned with the rest of Europe in economic laws.

    Canada would need to redo half of its laws to join the EU, and Canadian companies would either need to produce two versions of everything or drop the US market altogether.

    It's more realistic to aim for a close bilateral treaty than for membership, at least for next few decades.

  • In a glass half full perspective, it won't send all your data to Google's servers. The part they are not saying is that the data even remotely related to your query is going to be sent to Google anyway. They are claiming they will delete the data after 72 hours, which I believe they will for now, but knowing them, there's probably going to be a sneaky policy update in a couple of years.

  • The CIA fucked the entire world more than all the cops put together and it's not even close. And they are not even that good at hiding it.

    International intelligence agencies are like a having a bunch of police departments all competing with each other for universal jurisdiction, if some of the cops were on everyone's payroll.

  • A caffeine addiction and an alcohol addiction are two completely different beasts though.

  • As a general policy I don't drink alcohol if I feel I need a drink.

  • I wish more CEOs would pick up more buzzwords like "Blameless Post Mortems" and SRE, and less buzzwords like "AI" or "web 3.0".

  • NATO requirements are also fully met if the US deems that doing nothing is the necessary action and informs the Security Council.

  • Article 5 has:

    such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force

    which might also be thoughts and prayers while Trump is in the White House and

    Any such armed attack and all measures taken as a result thereof shall immediately be reported to the Security Council. Such measures shall be terminated when the Security Council has taken the measures necessary to restore and maintain international peace and security

    which is basically what was offered to Ukraine.

  • By the same logic neither does NATO's article 5.
