Yes this sounds much more realistic than the FUD that has been spread for years. Hybrid warfare is real.

Sounds perfectly realistic to me!

It’s wild that an operating system needs to be “researched” like that. In an ideal world it would be Google’s job to explain it to us. End user documentation.

Honestly I see nothing new here: as soon as you switch the device on it sends data to the big G. This has been the case for decades. Once you set up your Google account the limit is set by the TOS - and not even the one you “signed” when you first opened it, no, the current one.

Fuck this shit, people should just scale back their expectations a few years and go for perfectly functional alternate operating systems.

That’s a good question. I think they just follow the money, meaning they do what the biggest spenders tell them to do. This isn’t even any sort of political movement anymore, it’s pure corruption.

So this machine is supposed to create even more controversy and “alternate facts” than we already have?

There is no intelligence involved here. Please move along.

Thanks! First time I’m seeing this. One minute later, debunked (and yes I did click the snopes link). We’re getting better at this.

Also, still with Obama. Having a non-white president really broke some of them.

‘allies’

these single quotes are doing some heavy lifting!

It’s something courts deal with all the time.

Interesting.

Did you read their website/faq? It very clearly tells me that Betterbird has a very different focus than LibreWolf. It’s not about Privacy, it’s about fixing bugs.

as much as 72 per cent of the country backs the protests.

Wow.

The demonstrations are changing Serbia’s image as a Russian ally in the Balkans. The students organise themselves in a form of direct democracy, making daily decisions and votes without fixed leaders. Their demands are in line with EU values.

But the protesters do not trust president Vucic.

I’m woefully underinformed on Balkan issues in general and Serbia in particular, but that much I agree with.

Why is the article so uncritical? It just takes a quick wikipedia run to see how ludicrous this is:

Fusion power is a proposed form of power generation that would generate electricity by using heat from nuclear fusion reactions.

By 2030 they have that up and running? 🤣

And “new-generation fission” is just a wishy-washy cover-your-ass term. Could mean anything. Wikipedia brings up a couple of pages that are again full of terms like “proposed”, “suggested”, “might”.

And then there’s this:

The Italian Council of Ministers approved a plan on Friday to revive nuclear power, reversing the anti-nuclear stance solidified by referendums in 1987 and 2011.

I basically agree with the idea of reaching energy independence and carbon neutrality fast but this does not seem to be the way; the cynicism expressed in other comments is more realistic.

legally defining political deception, and strengthening existing rules to explicitly ban misleading statements.

I’m all for this. No, it won’t be perfect. Yes, it will sometimes be abused (e.g. against opponents). But this needs to be enshrined in law: politicians must be held to a higher set of moral standards while in office. Sometimes it feels like reality is the exact opposite: every job requires this, except politics.

Writing this as code doesn’t work very well in my browser, long lines aren’t broken.
