And everyone on this side of the pond said I'm overreacting by calling trumps immigrant detention centers "concentration camps", but here we are. Even the Nazis didn't start as fast with their genocide as the orange turd seems to try.

From an outside perspective its pretty clear that there is no coming back for the US without a violent intervention.

With how fucked up your electoral college is, there is now option for a third party to slowly grow in support like its possible in most democracies. That means your only options are both far right corporate puppets that have no real interest in fixing the underlying problems of the country, which in turn radicalises even more people.

Sure the Democrats are oders of magnitude better than the current nutjobs, but they historically did only the bare minimum to be seen as "the good guys" and "progressive". Anywhere else in the world they would still be right wing conservatives. Looking at how Mamdani policies get criticized by members of his own party should be all the proof you need.

Pretty much the only way out of this downward circle would be for 100 Million Americans to simultaneously decide to vote for the same 3rd party.

Ich werd nie verstehen, warum quasi alle Politiker so auf Massenüberwachung abgehen. Bei der AFD ists klar, die bekommt beim bloßen Gedanken an die Stasi nen harten. Die CDU versteht ich auch, die hält sich leider selbst für einen festen Regierungsbestandteil. Aber der Rest müsste doch verstehen, dass so ein scheiß früher oder später auch die eigene Familie und einen selbst betreffen wird.

What are they supposed to do when the police comes knocking with a warrant, not comply until they get shutdown for good?

Besides, afaik there has never been any instance where proton handed over any of the supposedly encrypted data like VPN traffic and EMails. They usually hand over the contact information that's part of the payment process people use, the stuff they are legally required to keep for 5+ years even if you send them a gdpr deletion request.

There was a lot of questionable stuff said and done by the board members and I'm really annoyed that they fight against ads but have the audacity to regularly send promotions themselves.

But in terms of data safety they do exactly what they advertise, keeping everything on their servers private.

Ever lived next to someone that was smoking at home? The smoke doesn't care about property borders and will find its way into neighboring apartments and yards.

The only way to smoke without bothering anyone is if you live somewhere in the woods in bumfuck nowhere.

Once your law covers all eventualities regarding this, its so convoluted that banning is the better option.

Nicotine can stay legal, but smoking anything should still be banned. Not because its a drug, but rather cause its detrimental to the health of anyone around you.

You can fuck up your own life, I don't care, but smoking hurts a lot more people than just yourself.

And no, only smoking in your own backyard doesn't work either. Anyone that's ever lived next to a smoker knows that the smog doesn't care about your imaginary borders.

The issue isn't even that they copy it once anymore. That would be a one and done thing.

The biggest problem is that they can't even be arsed to copy anything but the URL. They save their own resources by feeding only the address and metadata into the training model and then letting it loose to collect the datasets for itself again.

That means every new model and every slight tweak is an additional crawler that will spamm your server with requests, all because these lunatics are too cheap to buy their own hdds.

You read that a bit wrong. Productivity didn't go down, productivity growth did.

Economists are for some reason unable to accept that their so called productivity doesn't grow infinetly. Every prognosis pretty much depends on a constant linear growth, so with a breakthrough in technology you would expect exponential growth.

But what somehow no one of them considers is the fact that human productivity has reached its physical limit hundreds of years ago and the only thing even leading to linear growth in the first place are these technological breakthroughs.

And that's also the current issue. We haven't had a major breakthrough in quite a few years. Sure everything gets better and easier to make, but nothing that happened in the last 20 years comes even close to the advent of PCs or the Internet as a whole. So the only way to keep your line from going up slightly less (not down, just slightly less up) is to reduce the number of workers while keeping your supposed output the same, i.e. firing people.

Its the desperate struggle of the current system (capitalism) that depends on the lie that productivity can go up infinetly.

Latin is at least pronounced just like its written.

The french took those words, threw away everything but the root, added 50% more vowels than necessary and drew a few symbols over certain letters to change the pronunciation.

Wenns nach deiner Logik geht dürfen wir solche offensichtlich demokratiefeindliche Institutionen nicht verbieten, weil Demokratie, können sie aber auch nicht regulieren, da die korrupten Mitglieder jener Organisation das nicht zulassen würden.

Kann man wohl nichts machen, schauen wir halt weiter der Demokratie beim sterben zu.

Die Bild kann bleiben, wenn sie für jede absichtliche Falschaussage 1% ihrer Jahreseinnahmen als Strafe zahlen müssen anstatt das nur mit einer Stellungnahme in der nächsten Ausgabe wieder gut machen zu müssen. (Natürlich auf der letzten Seite ganz unten, so klein nur irgendwie möglich) Der Laden wäre in drei Wochen pleite.

Meinetwegen machen wir auch 0,2-0,5% draußen und wenden das auf alle Nachrichtenfirmen an. Das ist so wenig, dass man es nicht einfach missbrauchen kann um die politische opposition zu schwächen, aber gleichzeitig genug, dass solche Lügenpressen wie die Bild langsam absaufen.

Let me preface this with "Fuck the trump cabinet, they are both evil and unqualified".

But the thing I never understood is the need to have people with Degrees in leadership positions. A PHD doesn't exactly mean you are smart or a good leader, it just means you were privileged enough to study for 7+ years without starving. Especially since the degrees usually barely overlap with their respective areas.

The only thing it brings us is a bunch of rich privileged assholes in charge that all have never worked a job other than "business consultant" in their lives.
