I disagree about window 8. I quite liked it. I honestly think that it was a better OS than win 10, from an user point of view. But maybe I am biased, as I was using a laptop with a touchscreen at this time.

yes, but did you consider that maybe, just maybe, that a lot less of these cubans would have fled to the US without the embargo ?

So it’s okay for the US to starve the Cubans to death since decades ?

Even if you ignore the dip, it’s hard to call the situation “an all time high”. But maybe you have other sources ?

About Notion, they do indeed support Mermaid, but their included version is quite obsolete and they don’t seems so eager to update it. A shame.

Didn’t find any source on that. He ran for presidential mandate in 1932 and lost against Hindeburg. But never won an election for the Reichstag.

But I agree that, if it he had run, he would have win, as the NSDAP was the leading party in Reichstag at the time.

As far as I know, they do. That’s part of their consumer data protection act (didn’t remember the exact name).

Do you have any source for that ? it would n’a quite helpful, honestly.

First, I never said than a dictator never came to power through fair and healthy election. Just that it is rare, much rarer than a lot people think.

Second, I would say that the jury is still in debat for Bukele. Yes, it’s re-election is anti-constituai but he seems to still have the support of the population, as the election seemed to be fair and healthy.

But I agree that his legal shenningans to allow for his re-election don’t bode well for the future. Let’s wait and see.

This. Each country have an administrative entity (in France, that’s CNIL, Commission National sur l’Informatique et les Libertés - National Commission on computer and liberties, roughly) in charge of this kind oh things. You can lodge a complaint to them and they will investigate and eventually, if needed (don’t think it was ever needed, they can bring the problem to a judge.

If Elon and X thinks they cannot in good faith comply with the laws of a country in which X operate, they are right to leave it.

I personnaly see the attacks against the judiciary of Brazil more troublesome that this move.

> If Brazil's leaders are unwilling to allow a speech platform go uncensored, why not ban X?

Because it’s not black and white

> Should X have to comply with every country's censorship requests?

X must comply with the laws of every country it’s operate. If it cannot, or not willing to do it, it must leave it. That’s exactly what Elon have done

> Elon alleged that Moraes requested private user information as well. Should X hand over any and all user data that governments ask for ?

If it’s done legally, yes.

This take is quite bizarre, honestly, given how personal data protection laws are subpar in the US. Even from the government (remember patriot act).
