Lucky for the regime then that the FSB is having competences for allmost anything, by law even. Even way broader than the Trump SA. But yeah I am sure everywhere else is surely just as bad. I heard it on RT.

I endorse the message but I hate the use of AI to produce political memes.

On one side that sounds reasonable, on the other side, Russian rule of law only partially exists, as long as it is not in the way of the regime. So yeah, whatever.

The big thing about France going Linux is less the legitimaxy and more a state player entering the scene with the aim of creating a platfirm with all the tools needed in office settings and then some.

France is going to change that, at least for everything needed by state and public IT systems. They are going for full transition, including software (communication, cloud, office application, databases and business tools etc)

This law still has a lot of good things in it. Calling it useless is what those companies would want you to do.

Having those rules is much better than not having them. Also, IP rating is not enough, batteries also need to have sufficient load cycles. So if it forces them to use only long life batteries that reduces the need for battery repkacements and is already something.

Calling for death is not a right in Germany, is it?

This has nothimg to do with left or right. Bringing Jesus’ actual teaching is if anything leftist itself What this is about is that one passengers violated the terms of service of the airline, was obnoxious towards others caused a delay in flight operations and made the work for the flight crew just that much harder for egoistic self centred reasons. If someone had done the same while preaching the socialist revolution my ooinion on it would be very much the same.

A plane is a plane, with etiquette rules, not a debate podium. If you can’t behave in a way that doesn’t lead to delays in flight and makes the day of the attends hard, that is a you problem.

That is not bypassing this regulation, it is the regulation working as intended. Increasing exposure of these companies to tge EU market with own logistics etc to create more lecerage fir enforcing other product regulations.

No, I would not even take one even if they paid me the current price. The thing is not street legal in the EU, therefore useless. The reasons that it is not street legal have nothing to do with Elon directly but with that vehicle being unjustifiably dangerous to pedestrians and other drivers as well. If you drive one of those it tells all the others how much you care about everyone that isn’t you.

I reject that thing not because it isn’t street legal I reject it for why it isn’t street legal and that goes down to the heart of its design and concept.

I never built up a CD collection but I now started a digital DRM free local collection. Yes, I am actually buying that stuff (call me stupid if you like) but only loss free.

One of the few disks I own is sadly too corruoted for error free ripping, luckuly I still have it as mp3. That album simply does not wxist online anymore, anywhere. Possibly not even in the darker corners of the net. I think that happens more often than many believe.

Fair point as well.

I remember that very well. Doesn’t change anything about the ID.Polo being a great car for a competitive price tag. Chinese cars in Europe aren’t much better priced.

That is not entirely true. The new VW ID.Polo is a very nice new compact EV for a reasonable price for example.

That is the neat thing about language, it adapts. Euphemisms wear off and something like “smart device” increasingly sounds like “nasty anti-consumer surveillance home appliance” all by itself.

Almost all of what is covered there are simply store names. There are many small stores in that street … Oh, and the sign in the middle, which is covered, is merely spelling out the name of the street.

You don’t have to jump in front of a bullet in order to not flee into absolute non-political detachment and deflection.

Sound exactly like what you commonly hear from Russians.
