catlikesshrimp··on Hacker leaks 281 GB of data from Germany's far-right AfD party
In my head, "far right" is any "We, the superior" vs "they, the inferior" demagogy. Discrimination is part of human tribalism which is easily exploited by populism.

I agree with you in that you can't have open borders, but I would definitely use different criteria than religion and skin color, just because they are more visible. Maybe use scholarity and labor requirements instead?

That is just my head. But beside the word used, if you think your WORST problem is "mass immigration", you should pay less attention to politicians.

I don't know what this has to do with the topic, but buying votes is more transparent now. They offered $5,000 for every adult if they win.

Far right means hate extremists more than anything. As in, you can't call them nazis or racists until you have proof you can take to the congress (?) to get the party disbarred.

The worst problem with walled gardens is when everything is walled. Android is not supposed to be an "ecosystem", it is a damn OS on compatible hardware.

As I understand it, you yourself will also need a google account to unlock the setting to "sideload" in the hidden "developer options" before waiting 24 hours.

What I am not sure is what will happen if I then remove the "google account" which I don't want in my device.

catlikesshrimp··on NY announces game ownership bill requiring ownership rather than licensing
A rental has a defined time or use limit. If you want to call a game a rental, they must at least charge a monthly or yearly or per login fee.

This sounds counter intuitive, but the added friction is THE WHY they don't want to call it a rental on paper, only on appeals.

The same applies to concerts and weekend club: This is an event with a defined time limit.

You call a car leasing a leasing, you don't call it a sale with a small print.

1% Is a gross exageration if you go by this article / document.

Since you mentioned weapons: Robotaxis will have a social cost, and in Canada that is important in a way not seen in the US. Unlike weapons, there will be not much discussion about robo-everything.

I don't understand why you think anyone is supporting sexism...

Saying "Think of the women" as you say "think of the children" as a blanket statement can be malicious. Reasoning requires hard data, not evoking feelings.

Fair. There is no reason to not believe you. Women are more vulnerable than men. Still, calling the service dangerous without any backing, by some report in addition to annecdata, is offensive, and only does a service to the provider, however well meaning the deduction may be.

Not today. Not next year, either. And calling taxi service that dangerous is an exageration. Preference enhanced by that type of comments would be more accurate

I can't imagine living in a place that has too little dirt that you don't have to empty a bag but so much that you have to clean it everyday. I do know places where maids clean the floor daily because why not, but that is different.
