Autism, communism, arthitism, cannabism.

  • euro adoption

    And here’s an answer why Orban & Fidesz get so many votes. Euro will be a good idea when EU has a common budget, before that it’s a recipe for economic misery (see Greece in 2015).

  • We were subjected to decades of neoliberal propaganda which resulted in dismantling of public services which led to regular people voting for fascists. It is therefore quite easy to judge American influence as objectively bad.

  • In my country, which is an American colony, it was quite telling which press outlets were squirming when Trump cut their financing - surprise surprise, it was all neoliberal „left”. You can’t say RFE was some small operation either, it’s a broadcast station operating since WWII. I know it’s uncomfortable to admit the amount of influence US exerted over Europe for decades now. All that changed is that there’s no rainbow coat of paint anymore.

  • Not sure why this is causing an outrage when previous administrations did exact same thing (see Radio Free Europe as an example), just for a a different brand of imperialistic capitalism.

  • War in Ukraine: Attacks on power grids may violate international law, experts say

    Jump

  • There’s no such thing as international law, turns out.

  • ‘A Man on the Inside’ Renewed for Third Season at Netflix

  • I kind of grew bored by season 2. Which is a weird thing to say about something from Schur. Weirdly unimaginative.

  • I used an original iPod Nano in 2026, and it worked surprisingly well

    Jump

  • Charging, syncing and Bluetooth compatibility will be a bit of a challenge for most.

  • France definitely understands how to negotiate with the US of A-holes.

  • To keep their membership in WTO. Even if the US exerts massive influence over WTO it’s still the only general trade agreement most countries recognise.

  • They weren’t that bad just before 1929 either.

  • Apple’s new iPhone and iPad security feature limits cell networks from collecting precise location data

  • You didn’t locate people at that concert because you knew they were at this concert beforehand. You wouldn’t be able to locate them more precisely using cell network.

  • Apple’s new iPhone and iPad security feature limits cell networks from collecting precise location data

    Jump

  • If there’s a Stingray in your neighbourhood and it wasn’t meant for you then law enforcement started to replace regular cell network with Stingrays, which is unlikely. A phone knows it’s dialling emergency number because it’s preprogrammed into SIM. Also, a phone making emergency number call doesn’t have a preference as to which network will be utilised so a Stingray doesn’t have a benefit of overriding your own cell network as easily.

    I might be talking out of my own butt but even US operators were in a bit of trouble because of this historically because they were able to locate just 20% of emergency calls originating on their own networks.

  • They’ve been one big tech company that historically resists this kind of pressure.

  • This thing is supposed to prevent you from getting tracked via cell network. If someone is on to you and is also capable of deploying Stingray in your area then they know about your location about as much as they could from the cell network.

  • I think they meant that when you call emergency services then this protection is disabled, probably temporarily.

  • Sony is Quietly Suggesting PS4 Players Upgrade to PS5 Consoles

    Jump

  • Hard drive in PS4 is user-replaceable so at least there’s that. Putting even the cheapest SATA SSD decreases load times considerably too which should help in stretching its lifespan a bit.

  • Valve Facing £656 Million Class Action Lawsuit

    Jump

  • So you don’t see a problem with Valve’s solution not being a solution to everyone being locked in their platform. Valve monopoly is based on their gatekeeper status to the defacto industry standard game ownership ledger.
