> It's alright if you can't accept that this is happening to other people, but you are doing so because the idea scares you, and its not happening to you, so you reject it, and that is why it works.
Fuck off with your condescending assumptions.

You don't strictly need git for it.
In Switzerland, at least at the federal level, and since 2020, laws are created in HTML too. You can compare between versions as well as languages.
Swiss Constitution, under "Tools" click on "Version comparison" - https://www.fedlex.admin.ch/eli/cc/1999/404/en
I tired to do something similar, it's somewhat okay (In german)

Yea, useful info.
But you said it yourself, that's not the point. So why talk about it up at all?
Like, OP could have skipped that tidbit of backstory, but there's no harm done in including it. While you could have skipped this entire reply, which pushes (your/an) idea and a specific view of the world.
And yea, I could have skipped mine too. But... that's not the point, lol.

Funky stuff, nice use of government data.
It would be fascinating to see how my house and town is rendered in-game. Unfortunately, the full map costs 15 CHF o_O
> For legal reasons I sell all of Switzerland only to people who live in Switzerland.
Why tho? Something about the data itself, or because you don't want to bother with international purchases?

Considering that many consoles are initially sold at a loss, but then can begin to make a profit as the hardware becomes outdated (among other things [1])...
What about making it a requirement after some time. What about, after the warranty runs out. And hey, that could also incentivize longer warranties!
> [1] "Typically, when a new games console launches its price point is below the actual cost of manufacturing. But over time, through a combination of bulk component orders and the refining of the hardware design, the cost falls below the retail price. The PS3 was sold at a loss for nearly four years, the PS4 was profitable within six months of its launch, and the PS5 has taken eight months. Considering the novel new design and global chip shortages, that's quite impressive." https://uk.pcmag.com/gaming-systems/134885/sony-says-499-ps5...

And it gets worse. Like LOOK AT THIS
"the methane emissions alone from Turkmenistan’s two main fossil fuel fields caused more global heating in 2022 than the entire carbon emissions of the UK"
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/aug/31/turkmeni...
"The biggest event was a leak of 427 tonnes an hour in August, near Turkmenistan’s Caspian coast and a major pipeline. That single leak was equivalent to the rate of emissions from 67m cars, or the hourly national emissions of France."

Just curious, why not alcohol? With it being so common and easy to get...

Dude.
Regardless of how the data is sourced, this is bad. It's poisoning the internet.
Besides, such issues come from a lack of due diligence, which have only been exacerbated by AI.

Holy shit, it's so accurate.
What I find annoying is that I know how biased I am. And this list reaffirms everything I ever thought about this war, which is just more confirmation bias. Argh!

This is insane.
How can this be fixed? Nothing prevents you from publishing straight BS, and LLMs will use any site that doesn't have a garbage reputation as a valid third-party source.
Of course, LLMs already use Reddit, Facebook and co. as a source, so it doesn't really matter...

It's borderline pathetic, and I hate it. Somewhat related to renewables, but like, look at Europe pushing towards electric buses. Wow! So good!
It doesn't matter, none of it matters. +90% of the world's electric buses are in China. Like what the fuck. The west could do nothing and it wouldn't make a difference. I wonder sometimes why we even bother.

Are you saying that taxation is theft, or is there something else going on in Brazil?

...this seems overtly paranoid and is really hard to believe. Who are you to be constantly stalked by 4-5 people?
And you blame the "adults of America" that supposedly are "psychologically inmature", which to me looks like an absurd and unsubstantiated claim

What the actual fuck are you talking about??
