Meat goes in. Sausage comes out.
The problem for a lot of the companies behind these things, is that they’ve run into problems now their investors want them to turn meat into a black forest gateau.
I’m sceptical if they can manage that feat. But what do I know.
On a related note, I’m still annoyed microsoft bungled the windows phone and didn’t do more to support app developers. Arguably better than osx and certainly android at the time.
Same thing for (international) politics too, obviously.
That and endless content and comment reposts.
It was bad when I left, it’s gotten worse now that some of the better mods and more prolific posters have left.
He sued Top Gear for being critical of the tesla roadster in 2008. (And before someone pipes in about that being justified despite them losing twice, because you inadvertently bought the tesla spin on that case back when people didn’t yet realise Musk was full of shit, please do a bit of research.)
He lied about founding tesla and continually lied about the actual founders. When they sued for libel in 2009, Musk settled.
He banned the guy who posted publicly available information about his private jet on twitter.
The list goes on.
Musk has never been free speech. He has always been a cunt.
If it helps with snow, white paint or light coloured concrete should work fine too. No?
As the planet warms, we’ll increasingly need to paint flat roofs white anyway.
Fundamentally encryption is a tool, not unlike a gun or a knife. Encryption allows you to ensure your privacy. Whether and when a tool should be considered illegal simply because it facilitaties illegal acts, and whether privacy should be unlimited, depends on context. There’s a balance to be made.
Country like Germany? They take privacy super seriously, almost certainly in large part due to historical reasons. Fun fact: this is why you’ll also find far more blindspots on google streetview in Germany. Freedom of speech? Limited, for historical reasons. Privacy? Often far less impinged upon than the US, also for historical reasons.
So what’s up with France, which this video is about? And the answer is relatively simple. France has had something like 40 islamist terrorist attacks since 2010. After 2015 a state of emergency was announced which lasted for two years. After that the state of emergency was formalised in law. If Macron hadn’t taken these draconian measures, literal fascists (with ties to the Kremlin) might have won enough votes to form a government. France would have been ruled by the daughter of a holocaust denier and a Kremlin asset, right at the moment Russia invaded Ukraine (again).
So yeah, it sucks. But once you know the context, it’s not that hard to understand the why.
A bit like how the UK is blanketed with cameras, and the UK’s security services regularly spy on their own citizens. Also sucks, but the why is also understandable. A 30 year bombing campaign and almost civil war on British soil, followed by a spate of Islamist inspired terrorist attacks, tend to make a population more amenable to privacy violations.
