Because for 90% of the time since then the same corrupt party has been in power.

not sure who told you that nuclear reactors cost half a trillion dollars to build, or are you thinking they would be building 30+ reactors?

Are you under the impression that a single nuclear reactor would make a dent in Germany's energy requirements?

That must be why you people are suggesting to turn the extremely old German reactors back on that have had limited maintenance under the assumption that they would be turned off for decades now.

The sabotage of solar and wind energy by Altmaier during the CDU government has had a bigger impact than the removal of the few percent of power we got from nuclear. Not to mention that nuclear fuel has the exact same problems as fossil fuels in that major sources of nuclear fuel are in Russia.

As opposed to thinking we could replace fossil fuels with nuclear power faster than we can replace them with renewables which is obviously a totally sane belief given how large construction projects are going... /s

Said like someone who has never encountered the concept of opportunity costs.

That is because people are bad about making April Fools stories. They are supposed to be about outrageous things that are technically possible but not likely.

Granted, it used to be easier before ridiculous stories like "major new legislation likely written by AI chat bots" were common enough to plausibly happen.

Mostly RSS feeds of either the upstream projects directly (e.g. Rust Blog about Rust news, OpenSSL releases about OpenSSL,...), blogs by people I have noticed write interesting things (e.g. Cory Doctorow) or collections of news like This Week in Rust.

It was massively unpopular among the relevant demographic, the Tiktok user. Those are the ones you would want to reach obviously.

But that would be a very unpopular move that might even be counter-productive while selling them Tiktok would just be handing them everything they want on a silver platter.

And you think nobody outside of the US is interested in preventing the US from having a total propaganda stranglehold on their own population?

If anything large US companies signaling a desire to buy would make it less likely that a sale actually happens. The awareness that social media has the ability to influence users politically is very much there now and nobody wants that all in the hands of one country, especially one as adversarial as the US.

If most are reuploads anyway that kills the whole argument that deleting things works though.

Way ahead of them. I just buy stuff from other websites now without Amazon or AI involvement.

Who said anything about punishing the people hosting the sites. I was talking about punishing the people uploading and producing the content. The ones doing the part that is orders of magnitude worse than anything else about this.

I am not talking about CSA, I am talking about video material of CSA. Most countries with marriage ages that low have much more wide-spread bans on videos including sex of any kind.

As for prosecution, yes, it is still illegal if it is not prosecuted. There are many reasons not to prosecute something ranging all the way from resource and other means related concerns to intentionally turning a blind eye and only a small minority of them would lead that country to actively sabotage a major international investigation, especially after the trade-offs are considered (such as loss of international reputation by refusing to cooperate).

Whatever you think it does it certainly doesn't get rid of SMTP, IMAP, RFC822, Quoted Printable and half a dozen other encodings only used in email, MIME/Multipart, email addresses that require 8000 character regular expressions to get anywhere close to validating the full spec, the ability to send mails to anyone by anyone or anything else I was talking about.

Cookie banners are completely unnecessary as long as websites only use cookies for technically necessary purposes (e.g. login). The problem is that a lot of websites want to sell your data to hundreds or thousands of other companies. So yeah, we could cut back a lot of red tape there if we just outright banned that sale of data completely.

At which age and for which purchase was the first mortgage?

My point was more that we could get rid of the major downsides of email, namely the underspecified legacy technologies and the ability for anyone to send you one, for the vast majority of current applications.
