Ah, yes the “Don’t build the Torment Nexus” 🔁 “Big Tech announces the Torment Nexus” loop

The high representative office is probably the least damaging place to put a neo-liberal in the European Commission.

I would like to point out that, for the most part, not even car brands want to keep selling ICE vehicles.

That’s the point. AP doesn’t want to piss off the livestock industry.

That was already covered in the previous stages: https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2023/12/8/7432248/

The problem is that recall means using Windows is not a problem for Windows users anymore, it’s a problem for everyone that needs to communicate with Windows users.

Still? LLMs hallucinations are unavoidable, so OpenAI’s ability to comply with the law is the same as a Mexican’s drug cartel.

Or a better night train. The slowness is not an issue if you can actually save time by merging the trip and the hotel stay.

As a leftist that had to cut off a bunch of contacts in the last few years, it’s usually one of:

• “the Soviet Union helped us on our struggle, so we refuse to see they were not that good in the first place and more importantly that it’s deader than Monty Python’s parrot”
• “America bad, so everyone else good”
• “[Insert long, ahistorical, and ideologically incoherent rambling], so it’s now their turn to play empire. What do you mean no one should play empire?”
• “Comrade Dmitry tells me what to think since 1972 and he says Ukraine are Nazis and that Putin is a true comrade”
• “We should have peace at all costs. Why are you asking me about WW2, Operation Barbarossa, and the lend lease? I’ve to… go water the plants, that’s it, water the plants” runs away

So nothing really new since 1939.

Holy mother of false equivalence. Google is not supposed to be a random dude on the Internet, it’s supposed to be a reference tool, and for the most part it was a good one before they started enshittifying it.

unready technology that spews dangerous misinformation in the most convincing way possible is being massively promoted

In the AfD they all are, the difference is that this one said the quiet part out loud.

vote for us. Our lead candidate is… We don’t talk about him. But vote for him anyway.

Dude is/was providing military equipment to terrorist groups and states that’s being used to attack an European country and European ships.

Fox News is an American problem, they don’t have any significant presence in Europe - the closest would be Sky News but Comcast bought it from Murdoch in 2018.

Because international law is more about “there’s a general consensus about this” than written law (and in few places this is as true as what counts as a sovereign entity), this kind of organized action can have more impact than they might seem at first.

They are trying to convince as many countries as possible to maximize the impact of the announcement.

And this is not even about monopoly. There’s a reason why the new law uses the term gatekeeper for companies that can shape and distort the market instead of monopoly.

What the EU needs is a proper mobility policy to reduce the demand for cheap Chinese crap for every day commuting.

And letters. If you go to the stasi museum in Berlin they have the letter opening equipment as proof of how despicable they were.
