By this logic, I should be happy if mail delivered to my address always arrives already open.
Staff is exempted from mass surveillance.
To think that we almost decided on a common army in 1959… EU integration has slowed down massively since then.
Some of us deliberately decide to not consume American blockbuster media.
If they really wanted to honour Kurt Vonnegut, Anthropic wouldn't exist.
You are feigning ignorance.
I used to care about copyright, before AI came and I realised that it somehow does not apply to big corporations mass stealing.
If Meta, Alphabet, Microsoft do not care about copyright, why should I?
I loathe movie adaptations and never watch them, but the source material The Martian was a very good read in my 12th grade.
I like hard SciFi with no aliens and plausible rules.
Stop reading into things what isn't there. The wolf is still eating fish, did you even watch it?
Dillo is very cool and the blog post says more than «I moved away from Github.»
It's actually quite interesting, I recommend to read it!

This website is amazing, thank you for sharing!
It is not democratic, as long as the President of the Commission is practically chosen by the European Council and the Parliament only can say yes or no.
And as shown in the last two terms of Von der Leyen, saying no doesn't actually do anything, because the same candidate can be proposed again.
> you can send a skyscraper to mars and people on HN will still be calling you a fraud
To date, SpaceX has sent nothing to Mars. Not to understate the company's accomplishment, but "people on HN" are fed up exactly with statements like yours.
The first claim is correct, as the topic was direction, not correctness.
You have a SciFi bookshop? Where is it?
I applaud you for being someone who finally talks about European Union institutions with apt knowledge of them, unlike even most news providers.
The structure of the Union is grim. I wish it was different, but how to change it now? It would have to be the Commission itself that suddenly decides that most of its powers need to be delegated to the Parliament.
I sadly agree with what you wrote, but on this point
> The EU Parliament is like that: the death of ambition, full of apathetic losers who drift into politics without any real idea of why they're there
I have to disagree. There are many (or, "at least a few I know personally"? [1]) people who sit in the Parliament with a real intention of making good. Their power is simply null, though.
1. David Sassoli (deceased, ex president), Guy Verhofstadt (Renew), Patrick Breyer (Pirates), to name a few I follow.
> I cannot understand why the European Commission wants to reduce our reliance on FAANG services, and at the same time they make Google Play a de facto standard
You'll be surprised, most of the time it's simple ignorance: the people making decisions don't know everything about everything. Hence democracy comes to rescue.
But the way the European Commission takes decisions is anti-democratic (secret draft documents, undisclosed lobbying, overlooking the role of the Parliament…)
What is the same is the checksum of the result binary.
> The Parliament is a joke. And you can partially blame the member countries who really do not send their best there
The European Parliament is not made of countries, nor it is meant to represent national interests.
National governments don't "send their best there", because it is the doing of each party in each nation. Sometimes parties that are represented in the EU Parliament are not represented in a member country's parliament.
I am Italian and currently live in Italy, and don't trust my government with building nuclear plants.
As long as the people in power are famous for lying and twisting reality, we should not touch nuclear.

A web browser is much more complex software than an e-mail client, though.
