@577011d5 Good argument.
OTOH, I can see one MEP with a bag of badges registering his whole fraction who are all doing a PJ party 20km away from the EU border. (Ok so perhaps only one MEP doing it for a couple good friends?)
@f884fa2b Well, that's how freedom is currently framed in the USA.
The ultrarich are free to do what they want. Want to kill a couple of their peons? Freedom is being allowed to shoot the vermin without some irritating goody-2-shoes working for that evil-anti-freedom state thing trying to limit your freedom.
Not your cup of freedom? Then you are obviously a communist that still has hang-ups about outdated concepts like the rule of law and democracy.
@30b6b534 You do realize, that from the perspective of a rentier capitalist, that old model had a very big problem, called “artist” that wanted to be paid?
Considering the AI-hype @b92dcc07
People tend to forget, that in the 1960s, non-techies were fooled by Eliza. And spent hours with the psychotherapist telling Eliza their personal problems.
So the current psychosis with ChatGPT is not completely new.
@836df508@f2210d65@0c625182
Ah, but the AfD got into trouble over ads that were run by a totally independent "Verein", and a Tweet by an influencer with >100m followers DOES have a commercial value, doesn't it?
@836df508@f2210d65@0c625182 The question, considering the troubles our most loved fascists had with Swiss gifts, is that kind of endorsement by a foreigner + tweets legal? Or illegal campaign support?
@a0b872c9 Well you know how it is. People working in law enforcement/justice are only punished if there is huge public pressure, if at all.
Let's be honest, if you go by the judical statistics, DAs are the most honest profession in the USA. At least a couple of years, I've heard that there was exactly one case of a DA being punished and spending a couple of days in jail for prosecutorial misconduct.
If we go by that, all DAs 99.999999% behave correctly.
And if you believe that, I do have …
@c242de9f Ah, but the little people aren't fans of green policies either.
Or let me rephrase it. They fully support them. As long nothing changes for them. A truly traditional case of NIMBYism.
Sure, do as much as you want for the environment and the climate. But could you please lock up the "climate terrorist" that is bothering my commute. And if you consider a speed limit on the Autobahn, well, that's not even funny in comedy.
@ca5977db Can they get them to if you put a full load on them?
Oh you mean you can get 2 days out of them if you are careful what you do with them.
Well, I can have that with my existing laptop 15W ia64 laptop too, worst case I plan to bring an external USB-C powerbank. 🤷
@87c98d39 Nicht ganz korrekt, Python verarbeitet strings als Unicode-Strings.
Und konvertiert mittlerweile defaultmässig in fast allen locales per utf8 die Ein- und Ausgabe.
(Gott sei Dank)
(Die früheren 3er Pythons waren "korrekter" und hatten "ascii" als default wenn nichts besseres gefunden werden konnte: was zu Probleme führte, Programme die Umlaute auf stdout ausgaben, crashten mit einem EncodingError wenn man ihre Ausgabe redirected hat.)
@e68a5c0d@beb4ab43 “Who has hacked her phone while in a Western democracy?”
The text itself explains that Pegasus uses remote exploits.
As long the mobile is connected to the Internet, Pegasus and similar tools that use “high value, fresh exploits” will get it.
The Apple development is so so (monolithic, periodic updates), and don't get me started on Android.
@e68a5c0d@beb4ab43
(in theory Google could do good, but they seem very unwilling. Just think how much the Android market would change overnight if Google removed attestation from devices that have no current security update => suddenly no netflix, no banking, no … => users would INSIST on monthly updates and simply sue their manufacturers into bankruptcy if the don't provide the security updates.).

The problem with a) is that when they were built in the 1970s never-ending austerity due to ideological arguments was not yet universally accepted in the UK, so people could plan with reasonable maintenance.
ad b) which bigger public building does not have some serious issue. Don't get me started on the beautiful university buildings built in the 70s/80s in Vienna, not working air vents are the tiniest of the issues, some are literally ruins by now.
