It was a reversal from the mixed reaction they had received after publishing the statement. At the time, some in the village, including elected officials, accused them of exaggerating about Hegseth and seeking to turn the wartime liberation of Europe into a political affair, said Richard.

IDK about you, but to me the wartime liberation of Europe was a political affair to begin with.

Well, nobody is asking the EU yet. It’s about what the Brits want.

Pika?

Nah, there are more. Germany for starters.

That would be Swiss, though.

Yes and therefore it would be shorter.

And you call us Germans out for our long words …

Thanks for checking

[…] it was later turned out to be fraud.

Huh? That’s news to me. Any source?

So the same thing people did 13 years ago without AI?

I didn’t think I’d need an /s for this comment but here we go:

Oh, so a short sentence can imply a more nuanced opinion on a subject? /s

Maybe keep that in mind next time before jumping to conclusions.

On the subject: If you want to enforce laws you have to have a way of knowing about violations. This happens via surveillance. Having CCTV is obviously surveillance but so is to show a driver’s license. Or compliance documentation. So the question is not whether or not you want government surveillance or not but how much.

So to be clear, you are OK with disbanding any form of law enforcement?

FFS at least try to argue in good faith.

There is a difference between surveillance by a democratically elected government and some random dude though.

I.e. in Germany homeowners are only allowed to film their own property. The cameras field of view may not reach into public space.

Also while photography in public spaces is generally allowed, people may demand the deletion of photos showing their face.

While Ukraine certainly has some issue with nationalism (The Azov Brigade is the first thing that comes to my mind) given that this article comes from Hungary I can’t help feeling that it is a bit of a hit piece. Hungary itself isn’t quite a forerunner of protecting minorities and given what I’ve heard about Péter Magyar this isn’t going to change by much.

Oi, mate!

I think similar how the EU adopted the USB-C as mandatory standard for charging, it should force other industries, including software vendors, to follow commonly defined standards.

In case of browsers that is Chrome using it’s de facto monopoly to force other browser to rush to catch up with their custom crap. Yes, as a side effect that would also break a lot of existing webpages because they rely heavily on browser bending over backwards to accommodate sites serving effectively broken HTML i.e. but in the long term this would improve the internet as a whole.

I assume it’s not so easy to hit a jet at altitude and cruising speed with a small drone.

Missiles are still the preferred way of shooting one down and Airforce One or escorting flights certainly have various countermeasures available.

Sure, but then what’s the difference between having your encrypted database on the password managers cloud server or any other?

You see … for some people without home labs the “cloud bullshit” is the selling point.
