He knows. He got all the laughs he needed from his supporters. Now he can pretend he regrets it by deleting it while escaping any real consequences.

Who wants to bet the robototaxis will be operated remotely by some guy in India?

Ok, don't use it but when all the pages work only in Chrome with disabled AdBlock don't come back crying.

I had a look and it looks like you will not get anything special. The cutoff is around 2015. So for example Lenovo T440s will support Win11 but T440p will not. Looking at backmarket T440s is cheaper than T440p. So looks like you will only be able to get something ancient and the price will be pretty standard.

I love it how when 5 different people do something media gives it a name and pretends it's a world wide trend.

Where was an authoritarian dictator abolished without armed conflict with rebels getting external support (like in Syria)?

Mass protests in Belarus - no change

Mass protests in Venezuela - no change

Mass protests in Iran - no change

Mass protests in Turkey - no change

It only works when politicians are worried about getting reelected. When fighting dedicators it doesn't really work that way.

Yes but most of the money spent on rearmament of Europe will be spent on equipment, not research. What will be needed are programs like: https://www.france24.com/en/europe/20250505-france-eu-us-scientists

They promised €500m. We'll see if that's enough.

I'm childless and all I can say is fuck community.

Only if Europe invests in science so they can actually do meaningful research here. I've seen some plans but we'll see what will happen, especially with all the extra founding that will have to go to the military.

They could but tourism is over 10% of Spain's GDP so with the world economy on the verge of recession all the time they don't want to risk it. On top of that there are limits as to what taxes the central government can impose on autonomic regions and many of them don't want any additional taxes and fight every decision like that in courts. Not to mention that there are many places kept alive only by the short term rentals. You have half abandoned villages where there's simply no work around. If you kick out tourists from there those places will case to exists. Your solution doesn't distinguish between places like that and the mass tourism destination people are actually protesting against.

For anyone interested, this is how wild asparagus grows:

Rabies?

Someone posted this the other day: https://goodinternetmagazine.com/building-a-slow-web/

I really liked the idea so I quickly made my personal site and put it on the indie webring. It's a tiny community but it's there.

Don't forget to put your website on a webring! https://xn--sr8hvo.ws/

As I said, I'm using Graphene OS. I think you're confused about it the same way you're confused about what EFF is and who is fighting Apple and why.

Electronic Frontier Foundation doesn't agree with you: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/04/apples-apptrackingtransparency-upending-mobile-phone-tracking

"Looking ahead, the mobile operating system market is essentially a duopoly, and Google controls the larger part of the -opoly. While Apple pushes through new privacy measures like ATT, Google has left its own Ad ID alone. Of the two, Apple is undoubtedly doing more to rein in the privacy abuses of advertising technology. Nearly every criticism that can be made about the state of privacy on iOS goes double for Android. Your move, Google."

I trust EFF more then I trust you, sorry.

I think iOS is better than stock Android because Apple is not in ad business so it has better privacy protections. Its locked ecosystem sucks but privacy wise it's better.

I went with GrapheneOS because it's fairly large user base means that it will last longer than other, less used mods. But in the end it will only survive for as long as Google let's it.

That was 40 years ago. Any more recent examples?

Of course they are. They always did. The entire ecosystem is so closely tied to google services that it's almost impossible to use the phone without them (if you want to use banking and security apps). For now the only alternative is iOS and I'm starting to doubt if mobile Linux will ever become usable.
