  • EU to help Ukraine replace Musk’s Starlink

    Jump

  • and EVs

    I don't think going back to fossil fueled cars should be the route to go. There are a lot of other manufacturers of good EVs outside of the USA.

  • Norwegian fuel supplier refuses U.S. warships over Ukraine

    Jump

  • It's usually to protect financial or political and therefore by proxy financial interests. A country doesn't end at its borders and it has various ways of steering other parts of the world in its best interest: Development aid, food aid, trade agreements and sometimes just showing up with military and hanging out a bit just to be seen and foster relations.

  • Cars will need fewer screens and more buttons to earn five-star safety rating in Europe

    Jump

  • No problem, they'll manage to make them more expensive with buttons as well. I'm trusting the beancounters on that one.

  • France is about to pass the worst surveillance law in the EU.

    Jump

  • Yeah, I'mma have to see that before I believe that. Otherwise I'd drop anonymous hints left and right for every single bit of IoT that runs against an MQTT or XMPP server hosted and forgotten somewhere back in 2018. That backlash would shake them awake.

  • France is about to pass the worst surveillance law in the EU.

    Jump

  • Yes, but when I am running my own server, what can force me to build a binary that contains the backdoor?

  • France is about to pass the worst surveillance law in the EU.

  • it will be funny when they will impose those backdoors to Matrix

    How do you even impose backdoors onto an open source service that can be hosted decentralized?

  • The Chinese migrants hoping for a new life in Germany

    Jump

  • because their believes don’t fit with the modern western world

    And I get that. But then those very same people start to select between good and bad immigrants based on the color of the skin and the amount of beard or something. Ass-backwards-conservatives from Russia - totally welcome.

  • The Chinese migrants hoping for a new life in Germany

    Jump

  • Or everything becomes desolate as some derelict eastern german town with 50% AfD voters.

    Yep. That's the one that'll likely happen, unfortunately.

  • The Chinese migrants hoping for a new life in Germany

    Jump

  • I wouldn't bet my future on the idea that I could live here in peace and quiet. I'm not even sure of that as a somewhat native.

  • The Chinese migrants hoping for a new life in Germany

    Jump

  • thanks to its reputation as a safe haven for refugees

    Yeah, no, thats over with the current rise of the right.

  • Beleidigung: Wie Sie jemanden beleidigen, ohne sich strafbar zu machen (€)

    Jump

  • Beleidigt zu werden löst im Gehirn ähnliche Reaktionen aus wie geohrfeigt zu werden.

    Ja zum Glück, sag ich mal, sonst müsste ich erheblich mehr Auto fahren im Jahr um angemessenes Feedback zu verteilen.

  • Oh, right. Hungary / Orban, maybe?

    Jump

  • The EU, no, but Serbia traditionally has been aligned with Russia and their position hasn't been too clear regarding the sanctions against Russia, e.g.

  • Signal's CEO: Then We're Leaving Sweden | Sweden Herald

    Jump

  • That’ll curb the majority of Signal use in Sweden.

    ...unless a bunch of users plan to actually do something illegal, in which case a delisting from the app store doesn't stop anything. Once again, it's just to enable data collection about as many ordinary citizens as possible.

  • Signal's CEO: Then We're Leaving Sweden | Sweden Herald

    Jump

  • There are a few people in my social bubble that are not technical at all, but heard a few bad things about WhatsApp and that's why they are using Signal. Nothing more, they do not know how it works, they do not know who provides it.

  • Compliments

    Jump

  • It tends to get better with younger generations. I've gotten a lot of good and bad feedback about some changes I made during the last months but pretty much exclusively from friends and co-workers under 40.

    Was never weird though. Just smile and say something like "Right? I'm trying that out. Thank you :)"

    Accepting compliments can be learned.

  • Content Moderation: 2/23/25: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

    Jump

  • Merz won the German election. Here’s what it means for Europe.

    Jump

  • You can’t rely on anything this guy says.

    I guess it's more a case of "He says something and then waits for alternative suggestions in the form of small black suitcases."
