VERY urgent that you guys backup and archive AngelFire sites, we probably have like 2 weeks.

Everything is a disorder if human beings are supposed to be quiet and compliant no matter the circumstances.

@hazlin @apropos yeah this is in line with the great reset thing they wanted to do
make gas and jet fuel expensive as hell so it kills global travel, then force you into a 15 minute city with glorified golf carts

Insurance is a total scam, and I'm required by law to pay for it

I don't vote but I went to a big orange rally in Kenosha in 2020 for the hell of it ... I remember looking around at all these people, a lot from Chicago or Milwaukee, and they gave of a vibe of, "well ... I guess this is the guy..." .. but now that I look back at the whole 10 years, I feel like a lot of the political narrative was directed in such a manner to turn people against each other.

Most people aren't hard left or right, but the people in the middle; the independents, anarchos, libertarians, volunteerists .. and right now even if they're all against going to war for Israel, none of them are going to stand with each other. It's amazingly constructed when you look at it.

@nanook My company actually pulled out of Europe. I want to say almost a decade ago when the GDPR and some other legislation predating that were passed. We decided to call it quits in Europe. It's an over regulated impoverished shit hole where any efficiency and improvements in operating their are dwarfed by the costs. It was roughly the same cost for us to ship goods into Europe via expedited shipping as it was to operate a warehouse in Europe and ship from within. The delivery time and cost ended up being about the same. The question became why bother when the amount of regulation we had to comply with kept on increasing. It eventually became not-worth-it. The consequences are Europeans are now at a disadvantage and can not obtain the hardware and accessories that work with GNU/Linux properly quite as easily. The one positive about operating from within Europe is users don't have to deal with customs. Now they do. They did this to themselves.

For someone out of the loop, can you explain to me what's going on in Ireland? Preferably someone who doesn't hate the Irish people.

Commies are on the verge of discovering capitalism. Wonder what they will call it.

Which one?

I don't understand. They already force fucking e-mail codes on nearly every fucking login all the damn time!

I'm either going to migrate to Codeberg or just setup my own Forgejo.

jesus fucking christ what the fuck

Europe's got a new contradiction in law: If big tech doesn't scan for illegal content on their social media platforms they'll get charged with violating the Digital Services Act which mandates scanning. However if they do scan for illegal content they'll be charged with violating EU's 2021 privacy law: The EU Privacy Act.

The question comes up again and again. When prosecutors have no problem prosecuting those they dislike rather than those doing wrong why would anyone bother complying given the costs, burdens, and lost business of doing so?

When your best effort at complying still results in criminal violation due to contradictions in the law it stops making sense to comply.

"The regulatory gap has created uncertainty for big tech companies, because while scanning for harms on their platforms is now illegal, they still remain liable to remove any illegal content hosted on their platforms under a different law, the Digital Services Act. Google, Meta, Snap and Microsoft said they would continue to voluntarily scan their platforms for CSAM, in a joint statement posted on a Google blog. "

This should also be a huge red flag for the rest of society of the dangers of using big tech and mainstream social media platforms. Once you scan for one thing- it's ultimately used for other 'bad' things. This is already true. First it was child porn, but now it's a laundry list of things that are far more questionable.

@SuperDicq Great idea! Buy my game.

Really cool talk by Casey Muratori on the origins of OOP and Entity Component Systems. It's funny how he basically gets introduced to the stage like a fucking celebrity
