@garbulix @echo_pbreyer @panoptykon Czyli pomysł gigantycznego unijnego programu podsłuchiwania całej komunikacji w Internecie powstał z inicjatywy amerykańskich firm, które sprzedają narzędzia do analizy komunikacji?

Banalność zła w pełnej krasie.

@Watchdog_Polska Jeśli wnioskuje się o dokumenty zawierające dane osobowe, to te dane są redagowane, czy również udostępniane jako część dokumentu? Ta druga opcja brzmi jak raj dla spamerów, oszustów, nękaczy, złodziei, itp.

@josephcox Software freedom is very important to regular people, but regular people don't realize it.

@noelreports You can see what's going in their heads: "this guy is confident, has an expensive car, might be someone important and we might get in trouble".

@jele @EUCommission These used to be allowed because no one knew they were harmful. They are very inert substances, which is why they are "forever" - if they don't interact with most other substances, they don't get broken down for a long time. Eventually it turned out that they do in fact interact with our bodies in some ways, causing problems.

@itsfoss Proprietary AI has all the same issues as proprietary software. Don't trust it.

@icd O ile wiem, to funkcji PPA w Firefoksie nie można nazwać śledzeniem, ponieważ jest specjalnie tak zaprojektowana, żeby nikt nie mógł się nic dowiedzieć o aktywności danego użytkownika.

@aerique @echo_pbreyer Not surprising. Governments want to have power over us. This also allows them to gain "think about the children" cookie points.

@dacig @noelreports Ukraine knows well that "peace" right now would simply allow Russia to rearm and attack again.

@avlcharlie @itsfoss If you use a license like AGPL, you'll scare off most of the corporations anyway.

@palin @noelreports Not really. The problem is entire Russian leadership. When Putin is replaced, Russia will pretend that it has changed and can be trusted. Don't believe it for a second.

@mcepl @noelreports I think it's more about:
- whether the treaties require actual help (Budapest Memorandum doesn't),
- whether the enemy has nuclear weapons capable of harming United States.

Still, you are right in that this is a big advertisement of nuclear weapons: "if you have nukes, no one will invade you even if your army is two people with with one gun to share".

@fsfe Please 3D print it, test it by making actual cookies and then post the results. Overly detailed cookie cutters often produce disappointing results.

@Walter8100000 @noelreports IDK where to get the images, but Suchomimus channel on YouTube has a video with zoomed-in comparison, analyzing the differences and trying to count how many buildings were destroyed.

@mariedocet @noelreports Budapest Memorandum was intentionally vague and non-committing. It did not require defending Ukraine, just not attacking it. Even in the exceptional case of nuclear attack on Ukraine, the obligation is only to "seek immediate UN Security Council action to provide assistance".

@GreenFire @noelreports Anyway, you seem to think I'm making things up. Here are some links:

@GreenFire @noelreports Old grids were typically designed for few big power sources, not many small ones. This is why a big power plant is easier to integrate, especially if you put it where a previous power plant used to be before it was bombed.

@GreenFire @noelreports Batteries are a valid solution, but without suitable grid, they only help power the place that uses them.

The obstacle of outdated grid can be overcome by simply modernizing it. The problem is of course time, money and political will, as always. In case of Ukraine, ongoing war and grid damage is also a problem.

@muzicofiel @noelreports That's a better alternative, though the best would be to leave it there and attach a plaque with context. At most, remove the pedestal to keep the monument low.

I generally don't like removal of monuments; usually it's better to attach an explanation about what's wrong with them. This way people can get educated.

@GreenFire @noelreports An outdated and damaged power grid might be an obstacle for distributed power production. Panels would produce power, but the grid could only accept a limited amount of that power. Some countries are facing similar problems right now with transition to renewables, where outdated grid is the main blocker for quick adoption.
