B-TR3E

If it will be successful (i.e. enough countries over the threshold of subscribers) it will get into the EUs hands.

A european initiative is not the same as a decision made by EU council or parliament. It’s an EU wide civil initiative.

Faraday cages don’t protect against specific malware. They block electromagnetic radiation or communication in general. The idea is to keep your phone inside as long as you are in a potentionally compromised net.

They’ll definitely protect against real time attacks and fake cell towers as long as your phone stays in the bag while you’re in potentially hostile territory. Silent SMS or SMS from outside that might be spiked with malware by the local government won’t work if you’re outside.

That’s nice. The bad news is that he will be back sooner or later.

Right. Feeding Trump’s kingdom of madness is so much better. What might possibly go wrong…

This is more going into the direction of feudalism than just capitalism. A million tiny realms and every one keen of keeping their population locked in and uninformed about the outside world. I think there’s even a name for it: technofeudalism.

Yes. I doubt the frech courts will be impressed by Trumps opinion. Might even backfire. If Trump says somebody was innocent you can bet your life they’re guilty as hell.

Certainly not. Luxury appartments make much more sense, economically.

So now that stonehenge is not needed anymore, let’s tear it down and build something useful instead.

Who said you have to believe one side or the other? Who would believe a single word from a politician? You’d have to be really naive to assume they’d ever be honest. There’s no sarcasm or hubris in that. They’ll lie faster than they can think.

I’d trust Bach as much as I’d trust Putin. So I just don’t fucking care. Never cared about the Olympics, anyway so this shit show isn’t going to spoil my day.

Still better to sink a tanker than to own one.

Sure he does. Because the German “go-home-service” can’t find their ass in a brown paper bag without their big buddies from the US.

Yes, but when I asked an actual Albanian (another co-worker on a slightly adventurous job abroad) about the Albanian language and relations to other European languages in a friendly small talk he got rather angry and weirdly nationalistic. So I decided it might be healthier not to ask silly questions to anyone Albanian (very recommendable for most Balkan things!) and considered the Alban language as probably too dangerous to bother with. Retrospectively, I think he just didn’t want to admit he had no idea. 😅

Came here to say that. I intended to propose an immensely complex language that almost nobody understands and that is unrelated to any other family of languages. My choice was Hungarian or Finnish but Euskadi (aka “Basque”) clearly beats it. I had the privilege to learn some words from Basque coworker years ago when I was living in Spain for a while and I swear it is so utterly alien to anything I’ve heard, that it must be of extraterrestrial origin.

Because wars are for the profit of the people, right? The people of Ukraine will be busy for half a century or more paying back the US already.

I haven’t bought a single TV in my whole life and I haven’t missed anything important. Whenever I am somewhere where there’s a TV and I’ve got nothing better to do or I’m just curious I zap through the channels whithout finding anything remotely interesting or entertaining 99% of the time. I really wonder what people want with these ad-infested, annoying trashcans. Aren’t you dumb enough, yet? Try heavy drinking. Preferrably methanol or break fluid…

Reddit is fucking dead, nowadays. You can’t seriously call that “living”. Ok, braindead at least

I’ve been boycotting Amazon since the days when they were an ugly data grabbing bookstore and I’ll happily go on until the end of time.
