I guess for Trump they look shiny themselves, while the Google guy looks somehow not white nor orange enough.

I must say that, as a European using a Firefox fork for my daily browsing while waiting for Ladybird, I don't see that outcome as completely negative: Google, somehow, in America has kept a completely unjustified good vibes feeling surrounding itself, while Thiel is much more evil in the public eye.

If Chrome is associated with him in anyway it can become a more lucid image of itself.

Starting to sound like a new season of Silicon Valley.

We have all been there. Enjoy the ride until you will start questioning whether you are a fascist in some latent sense.

Proper tea.

FeralHistorian is that you?

A 30-day ceasefire is an enormous favor to Russia, when Ukraine is not getting any significant help.

What I always miss in these lists is an alternative to Slack, which I also think would be one of the most important to get right since:

• Slack is used in companies and to transfer operational information, therefore contains both HR (personal) data and sensitive business data
• Slack generates a lot of data now used to train LLMs and other ML applications
• Slack is seen as a must-have in most companies and it gets in at an affordable price point which still could be lowered by an EU solution.

I have looked into Whaller, but would still prefer an EU-made open-source version of something like Mattermost.

Despite what others are saying there is indeed an inaccuracy in calling this a privacy complaint. A lot of people outside of the EU conflate privacy with data protection, but they are not the same and GDPR does not concern with privacy but exclusively with personal data protection.

Accuracy, availability and governance of personal data are indeed important criteria for data protection, and this is what this is about.

Regarding people making shit up, if they make such things public, GDPR governs those just as much, while still referring to the normal legislation for the charges for slander.

Total security is the same as zero risk: it does not exist. Still requiring companies to properly collect documentation about data subject requests is a positive in my book.

Proper identification requires a logged in device to take a picture of you and possibly a short video in which the document is moved in front of the camera (to confirm the holograms).

This is actually required to comply with the GDPR.

As an ex-biologist, I think this is just down to a choice of words: as a society, you could see Nature as an enemy.

Man, even as an individual, or even a monocellular organism, you could argue that entropy is your enemy.

If an enemy is a useful concept for maximizing potential within your scope of choice, then be it.

Last one seems not to exist.

So the keyword to monitor is "HTSC", got it. I heard Sabine Hossenfelder comment a few papers, but I have no idea about the full body of research.

Wow, that must be the best answer yet, at least from my ignorant point of view about the feasibility. I am extremely fascinated by material science. Are there any promising lines of research for this?

I wouldn't be surprised if the initiative comes from the OG dev of the game, who is Italian: the efforts we go through since 1996 (all I can remember) to avoid ads and popups are of biblical proportions.

I can remember my father taking the PC away from me as soon as he saw I was exposed to one, going "I can take that away, it will be a minute". It wasn't a minute.

Can you expand on the technology and use cases?

As someone who never managed to work with a graphing calculator, you made me want this.

As I stated, I am more familiar with the articles of the GDPR, nothing more.

I expect a company like Meta to have a EU corporate entity and legal representation in the EU, in which case the charges can be applied to the EU entity and authorities may even seize assets within the Union.
