So you are basically saying my way or the highway without even offering a option at all. So your "diplomatic" is just another way of saying "I don't give a shit and please stfu". Why would you inject yourself in a discussion if you don't really want to participate? Yikes.

In every thread someone comes with "but is this the only way to tackle the problem?" Noone ever even makes a suggestion so I guess yes it's the only way.

Stop with the allegedly it was a anonymous service that was reachable from onion. There is no question at all that there was CSAM shared over it. I don't care about the rest but all this "allegedly" shit in regards of CSAM gets on my nerves. I actually thought people here either work in bigger corps or have experience in running services themselves and would know about the real size of the CSAM problem. But I guess not, ignorance is bliss.

Also it's only their hosted for profit service. Use the fsf instance if you feel violated by a user account. https://jitsi.member.fsf.org/

Smaller operations usually need more manpower.
Read the thread again. My comment was an answer to this one...

>> Big stores in Germany yes, but in Austria no, shipping it back is on your dime as per EU law to most but the biggest shops.

There is no law that says that the customer has to bear the costs of returns in the EU.

>>If we can't think without Google, why to expect from GPT? So, we built Search Engine specially for for GPT & other LLMs.

What? I mean if you are building an "AI" App maybe use it to check your copy.

I don't know how it is for the rest of Europe but in Germany every big online shop and even most of the small ones offer free returns.

At least the product owner, project manager, designer and developer.

Because there is no twitter anymore.
Re:Ask HN: Is paid search-engine model like Kagi viable? on Monday September 04, 2023 @04:22AM (#37378365)
Like with every product you don't have to use it. I like it and don't have problems with login in even in some hellish corp nets. You are also on Hackernews if it annoys you to setup your devices one time before using the search engine... automate it. I just wonder what you do with your other software packages.

The problem is not the high resolution scan of black hats it's that every company and your mom wants to store your biometric data in the future... and as we see with passwords most of them can't be trusted.

In the schanze and other "hip" districts in the big cities you can't walk 2 meters without a shop promoting it.
Re:Smoking Is a Dying Habit. Not in Germany on Saturday September 02, 2023 @10:11AM (#37361700)
In the last few years after all the health craze of the 2010s a lot of tv shows and movies have smoking actors again AND speaking as a German HHC (a variant of THC... imagine THC light) is not yet banned in Germany and every gas station, vape shop or kiosk is selling it. In Europe a joint is basically what in the US is a split so everyone is mixing their weed with tobacco. It's probably just a coincidence but there is a lot of weed smell in the cities right now.
Re:Electoral College and Election Fraud on Saturday September 02, 2023 @09:10AM (#37361187)
The most staggering aspect of the entire US political landscape in the past few years is the glaring lack of sincere efforts to address the multitude of issues that have accumulated over time... the continued existence of gerrymandering is truly mind-boggling.
Fine for me with only the standard lists.

It's been a decade or more but every time someone posts this website I swear to learn to make some basic knots and I never do. I should buy some rope.
Re:Ask HN: What is your company's guilty pleasure purchases? on Wednesday August 30, 2023 @09:52AM (#37322182)
Ask yourself what people are buying to use while doing business that is not paid for by the company...at the moment it's probably chatgpt.
A 4090 can be yours for only 50 cent per hour on vast or other gpu hosters. A 4090 can push 20 images per minute at 512x512 and 30 steps.
Everbody noticed even omgubuntu... hence the article after the news broke days ago.

It's really easy to build wrapper apps based around good available libraries in tauri.
