> There are normal people that cant even have a bank account in their homeland.

And approximately none of these people's problems have been actually solved with cryptocurrency.

"Average" probably means the mean here, not the median. So it's not half who watch more than that. There's probably a big gap between the mean and the median. Nobody publishes the median because that number is published by the ad industry which has no interest in showing the lower median.

It's a fringe party with fringe opinions. It got 0.59% of votes in the last election despite the huge funds provided by the Mullvad co-founder.

For you, sure. But there are a lot of communities running entirely there. Our local farmer's market is preorder only, and is entirely run off Facebook. I would have to skip going there altogether.

And it's not viable to propose any alternative. There is no platform, closed or open, where there are enough people registered to be actually usable, and nobody will make a separate account for this.

You're confusing the worth of the book and its content. A book can be valuable (ie a rare bible print), whereas its content is not (we have all the bible variants copied).

"The mafia is paying for some school kids' lunches, so please don't go after them or the kids will go hungry"

I hope you're aware that you'll lose a lot of top talent that way who won't put up with that.

German copyright law has no Fair Use. There are copyright exemptions for private or academic use, but commercial use has no such exemption. Books have special protection even according to § 53 (4) b).

And yes, it's the duplication which is illegal, not the publication of them.

Well, you've just painted a big target on your blog. This is the internet, after all.

You cannot vibe code your way out of 30+ years of institutional knowledge and processes built on Microsoft Office either.

Sounds like you're saying the same thing.

I can ask you the same. Why don't you accept their politic stance?

Note that while Sweden has a low income inequality, it has one of the worst wealth inequalities in the world.

Also iTunes Match, which legalized all of your pirated music[1].

Because of the lesser impact on land usage, fuel usage, noise, ...?

Wikipedia doesn't have to shut down, but they have to remove the libel.

The problem for LLMs is that they do not learn, and can't be prevented to produce that libel ever again. If Google finds a way to make that happen, no court would stop them from offering an LLM.

There's a lot of online-only banks who have figured this out. Do video auth, outsource it to the postal service, ...

It'll be just another round of the client-side vs server-side processing rounds. We've been through them, we will keep going through them.

Ultimately the consumer is paying for the ad spend as well, so it can't be an outsized part of the budget.

Shouldn't Github be large enough to not have anyone on-call, but just rotate the responsible team around the world?

> If you assume that "culture" is a resource like "microchips"

I do not. American culture exports American values, which are not universal. Simplest examples being the attitudes towards violence and nudity, which are very different in Europe, and vary within Europe as well.

Are you also implying that people who maintain vehicles for a living do a worse job at it than the owners doing it themselves? I would say the opposite is true.

Plenty of companies around the world have well-maintained fleets of vehicles. Trucking businesses, bus companies, train companies, even some taxi companies with salaried drivers, ...

The tricky part will be the the train tunnel on the other end of Fehmarn, the current best guess for the finishing date is 2032[1]. They haven't started building yet[2], so I wouldn't put a lot of trust in that number.

DB has been finicky for me from abroad as well, using a VPN to Germany usually helped. Still sucks though.

I don't think the mobile phone market produces variety, somehow its market forces make it strive for uniformity. All phones are basically of the same from factor (with the two foldable ones being niches), roughly the same size, same battery, same connectors, one of two OS, etc.

Lidl famously blew 500M on a failed SAP project, so they're understandably a bit into running things themselves.

The problem with making a low-tech car is that a lot of high tech stuff is mandatory for the car to be road legal.

The EU already requires 5 years of patches since last year. Motorola thinks they have found a loophole, so there are still some, ahem, patches needed to the law.

Take this as an argument to rethink your engineering decision to base your workflows entirely on the availability of an external dependency.

There's a paginated list on the front page for me. Maybe already fixed?
