Or bubblewrap. Though that requires more effort than “a bit of time” to do comprehensive isilation…

Is it a good idea with TACO to wait and see if it actually makes it into the law? (TACO=Trump Always Chickens Out)

There’s also some “good old” lobbying from what I remember, with SUVs and Light Trucks literally being de-regulated and “cheaper” at a time where normal cars were taxed. At least that’s what I vaguely remember from another video of the same author: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jN7mSXMruEo (he has links/proofs for his claims, everything I’ve checked or know so far was legit).

While true, it will be of very little help for me if somebody whom I know will get killed by this…

Additionally, all the car owners around it will start to feel less safe too (the US car phenomena). So maybe some people will start buying a small car instead of a tiny car, a medium car instead of a small one etc.

One important thing to keep in mind: it’s not only the person who killed the cyclist. It’s probably the system and how it’s designed, too. For example, was the “50kmh” limit just a label, or was it enforced and made intuitive with road turns and speed bumps too?

The “justice” system and how it worked here feels like a crime though, to be honest.

The original claim was about tracking (“escape the big tech tracking”), so here AWS and Cloudflare are definitely relevant. The content, including input, also flows through them I think? It’s specifically unencrypted if I get it right.

Thanks for your comment. I’m still only learning how legislation in the EU works. However, so far I haven’t been able to confirm what you’re saying. Could you help if you know? (I assume not only me, but possibly other readers, too)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_of_the_European_Union

Here it doesn’t say (almost) anything about “trade”. Admittedly I’ve only read 2-3 pages and then used Ctrl+F to search on the rest of the page though… Is it a de-facto split between the legislative powers of the Council and the Parliament? Where to read about it?

I get that you are feeling slint is not GPL, but I do not understand where that feeling comes from.

I think it’s because the for-profit nature of the company may not create an actual community of FOSS enthusiasts around it. So if something were to happen to the business side of Slint-the-company, there would not be a strong community with known leaders and vision to save the situation. It’s not like this is guaranteed for FOSS projects, but it’s much more likely there. Single-person FOSS projects are scary to me for this reason as well.

That is the biggest factor for me. (There are other important factors, too.)

there is little doubt that EU chat control will be implemented

Personally, I believe there’s a chance for stopping this. EU is not an authoritarian state. I wouldn’t give up too early – instead would rather fight and provide public pressure for the direction of the law that supports mine and everybody’s freedom.

A much better and desired solution is to stop this law from ever happening by societal pressure, in my personal opinion. I wasn’t born in the EU, but I live here many years now. I choose to believe that EU isn’t fully corrupted, and that many good and meaningful changes are still happening.

Not even for now. It’s totally the opposite, this very Chat Control vote was to push it forward: https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/reality-check-eu-council-chat-control-vote-is-not-a-retreat-but-a-green-light-for-indiscriminate-mass-surveillance-and-the-end-of-right-to-communicate-anonymously/

If Europe doesn’t fight back strongly enough, Chat Control will be one such thing. All your messages being scanned by a “black box” system. Hopes are on the European Parliament and societal pressure to cancel this now. https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/reality-check-eu-council-chat-control-vote-is-not-a-retreat-but-a-green-light-for-indiscriminate-mass-surveillance-and-the-end-of-right-to-communicate-anonymously/

escape the big tech tracking by installing uBlock Origin

Cloudflare and AWS say “Hi” 👋

UBO is a very good tech that I strongly recommend too though. Just gotta be aware of its limits.

(If you’re ashamed to explicitly point out your country, then… I think you have to deal with that anyway. I don’t know if fighting against the bad actors in your country is a feasible strategy; it’s too easy to give poor advice from far away, imagining yourself an expert where in reality you’re not, so I’m not recommending anything.)

Sorry, *your* president, not mine. I don’t live in the US.

What is a “Cambridge exam system”?

What would be the equivalent number of car lanes and traffic lights to handle this traffic? 🤔
