I thought this was going to be about how Sweden’s claimed neutrality is a sham (even more so now that we joined NATO), but I guess it would have been vassal and not colony in the title if that were the case.

Pretty tricky by the cops to turn off power directly and to steal his cameras. Shows that if you are concerned something like this would happen to you that you need to invest in more resilient solutions. Probably something with batteries and also hidden.

Anyone who things a thing like ”perfect jailbreak resistance” is possible should read Gödel-Escher-Bach

”What's most interesting is what content companies are getting the best deals. It's not the ragebait headline writers. It's not the news organizations writing yet another take on what's going on in politics. It's not the spammy content farms full of drivel. Instead, it's Reddit and other quirky corners that best remind us of the Internet of old.”

I don’t know if I see a company extracting rent from other people as a win…

Better to just contact NOYB directly, they are responsible for about 50% of all GDPR fines to date. Outside of Norway the DPAs seem mostly useless, especially when it comes to big tech…

They know, they just don’t care. And they have learned if they just ignore problems, then most times they’ll get away with it. Like for example all their responsibilities to stop an ongoing genocide, or to combat apartheid

What is different from Hamas right to exist compared to the IDF or Likud? Hamas certainly has less blood on their hands!

I would dare to say that the Netherlands is poorly governed given the extreme time it took to form a government both in 2021-22 and 2023-24.

We also had something similar in Sweden after the last two elections.

What is the point of them trying to create this? That something like this would mostly be used to create disinformation and create chaos is easily understood before making something like this.

Truly irresponsible

Personally I feel a bit insulted that security can mandate a “tool” like this to “prevent” sql injections. Just because they are clowns doesn’t mean that we are.

Sorry users, the string “a > b” is not allowed any more. But fear not, “å > b” works just fine

It’s one thing to prevent being born with hardship and preventing being born at all. Which is the case with Down’s screening.

But it’s not that I’m against it or wanting to forbid it. It’s that these are very tricky subjects with a lot of very hard moral issues that need careful consideration. In the end I believe it should be about letting people have a choice and to remember that people are human even if they are different. To not take away someone’s agency.

That’s even worse, of course you are allowed your own feelings. What gives me the creeps is when people start talking about prevention it easily slides into eugenics or other things that deny poeople agency or even their humanity.

There is a similar thing for deaf people. Or how screening for Down’s has changed the reality of raising a child with it.

As some one who is let’s say “autism adjacent” it really bothers me when people discuss a cure or prevention. I mean I get it, but this is also who I am and I wouldn’t want to be someone else.
