It’s incredible how deeply war culture propaganda permeates American society

This is a low cost to pay if someday we can live in a world where there are American/EU chain stores on every corner of Kyiv.

Is there a similar tool for Sony smart TVs running Android TV? That OS has become so awful, plenty of ads you can’t disable and just generally unpolished in the unique Android way.

this is something that people only on HN would write/believe. Missed the boat on what? Giving away free images from a prompt?

This is all early days and these demos are neat but the real value is yet to be seen. Maybe when this technology is licensed and integrated into Photoshop or Instagram or something like that.

It makes you create an account mid conversation? That’s a dark pattern.

Switzerland is not a member of the EU

“If the country is forced to ration gas, it could do…”

How is this news? This will likely never become law.

Braindead comments which add nothing to the discussion are allowed if they are bland, pro-monarchy messages. Anything critical of the queen will need to be carefully supported or it will be flagged.

Because in a capitalist society, democracy is a means of settling disputes among the ruling classes. The system favors the wealthy because the wealthy control the system.

So was giving millions away to wealthy people as forgiven PPP loans.

What’s wrong with Safari privacy-wise?

This is a great example of why neoliberalism is a scam. This is also true when a city or country begins to “privatize” it’s parks and fire department and water infrastructure, etc.

The real issue here is that VPNs for security purposes has always been a hack or misuse of virtual private networks. The real intended use case for VPNs is right there in the name: extending a private network remotely. Persistent connection to this remote network and guarantees that all network traffic uses this virtual interface is not what VPNs are built for.

Because the EU respects the One China policy (like virtually every UN member) and because the EU does not have hundreds of military bases surrounding China.

The war on drugs is not winnable, but the cartels can be defeated by legalizing all drugs.

How many of these were targeted by Pegasus?

It’s hard to monetize walking, so unfortunately pedestrians have undersized representation in the political process.

“An outsider”? Trump is a billionaire who has been directly involved in politics for decades.

Marx saw this problem 100 years ago. Democracy under capitalism is just a mechanism for settling disputes among the ruling class.

That coordinated effort is not some big mystery; the exchanges that operate in major jurisdictions cannot offer Monero due to AML/KYC compliance rules.

Monero is only available on the exchanges operating on the fringes of the banking network, or which don’t connect to banks at all.

This is cheap compared to a lot of what the US government spends money on, and it won’t kill anybody! So really quite a non-issue.

How did Twitter avoid this same fate? Twitter has an iOS app (sort of their main interface nowadays) and they have tons of adult content.

Is Twitter powerful enough to stand up to Apple and Tumblr was not?

Many people pointing out the impracticality of this because of the pound and the border issue if there were an independent Scotland. This would be a logistical nightmare, but the EU would likely welcome Scotland back into the union and support a strong border like what is happening in the Irish Sea.

But these hypotheticals are just bargaining chips the EU has to force the UK back into the customs union and single market. Who knows, maybe a decade from now there will be a unified Ireland, a free Scotland and the UK will have abolished the monarchy even! But even if these aren’t realistic goals, it still makes sense for Brussels to support these movements.

This is the funniest comment in this whole thread.

Many of the ideas of UKIP and the others have been adopted by the Tories! And the main opposition party (Labour) has been taken over by centre-right neoliberals. The left had a tiny bit of power pre-Brexit. Now it has none.

Well, their business model will continue to work in all the other countries they operate in where they can avoid paying drivers a living wage.

Google should stop building a massive surveillance apparatus for the entire world, but this would hurt their ad business, plus any other monetizeable ways they can shape public opinion. And those changes would certainly enrage their shareholders.

This isn’t really NSFW in DE… many shopping sites will show erotic items of the main page.

Convincing people he’s actually interested in those goals (moving humanity of fossil fuels and earth) is going to get harder and harder to do. Buying twitter might be a good way for Musk to continue to shape the narrative around his businesses as they fail to deliver.

You might be surprised by how little difference there would be!
