EherNicht , in Why Sweden is light-years ahead on climate

With Germany it’s the opposite: If our economy sucks, our emissions go down.
Mostly due to lower energy (fossil fuel) consumption.

To be fair 10% fall in emissions for 0.3% fall in GDP is still a great trade.

Also Germany did have falling emissilns with a growing economy.

CitizenKong ,

Yeah, the emissions have nothing to do with the faltering economy. Over 30 years of inaction in creating modern (including digital infrastructure) by conservative politicians a lot more so. Germany is a museum of the 90s.

Yeah, if they where not it would be terrible. When it comes to their starting province Sweden chose easy mode.

Before anyone gets their panties in a bunch, it must be installed but can be disabled. The choice is left to the driver.

For now

InFerNo ,

Of course. I understand that point, but I just needed to make this point because it's often overlooked or deliberately not mentioned to work as rage bait.

Anticorp ,

It's not rage bait. These things are always incremental. The end result will be a mandatory installation that you can't disable.

gnu ,

The choice is left to the driver.

This almost certainly means you'll get the choice to inconvenience yourself by performing a deliberately long procedure to disable the feature every single time you turn the ignition on, otherwise it'll turn itself back on again by default.

Hawk ,

The article confirms that this is the case.

So after they failed cripling chat encryption, they're gonna target... check note foreign SIM card?

ArtificialLink , in Apple approves Epic Games' marketplace app after initial rejections | TechCrunch

If apple has to allow third party stores why do they get to dictate what they look like? Can they dictate whats on the m?

CaptObvious ,

These questions seem to be at the core of the EC’s investigation into Apple’s DMA violations.

grue , in France asks two Chinese spies to leave the country after attempt to forcibly repatriate exiled Chinese dissident

What the fuck? Put the kidnappers in prison and give the dissident asylum!

CosmicTurtle0 ,

It was probably one of those situations where the kidnappers had diplomatic immunity and the host country had no other option but to declare them persona non grata.

Using their diplomatic immunity to commit crimes in other countries.

You can’t trust China. No mater what.

so as not to offend Beijing.

WHO

FUCKING

CARES

"We caught your agents doing illegal things in our country so pinky promise you won't do it again and please please please don't be mad at me for catching you doing something wrong oh pretty please"

Any country, my own included, who gets caught doing shit like that deserves to be blasted, deserves ridicule, and most importantly, does not deserve consideration for nicities.

And given this is such a common thing in other countries, I don't know why anyone bothers listening to them when they say "oh it's just a misunderstanding"

No, you're trying to human traffic someone who doesn't want to return to your country, that's kidnapping at the very least, terrorism in my opinion, and should immediately get their immunity (which was always a stupid idea for a great many crimes) revoked and get tossed in max sec.

veroxii ,

What about offending France (and the rest of the world for that matter)?

John , in Europe’s most liveable cities

Theres a lot german citys i would prefer over Frankfurt and Düsseldorf(and also over munich and hamburg especially since munich is the most expensive City in germany)

NocturnalMorning , in France asks two Chinese spies to leave the country after attempt to forcibly repatriate exiled Chinese dissident

The order came from the Elysée Palace but had to remain secret so as not to offend Beijing.

So much for it being a secret. I think people are getting tired of China going into other countries and harassing Chinese people that live there.

eldavi , in France asks two Chinese spies to leave the country after attempt to forcibly repatriate exiled Chinese dissident

i wonder why they didn't do it like the indians did in canada recently

lurch ,

they tried, but their bonking sticks were made of chinesium

federalreverse Mod ,

Fwiw, one of our issues is that Chinese products are actually better than their Western counterparts. Especially when it comes to police and surveillance tech. "Chinesium" as a meme is pretty outdated at this point.

LANIK2000 , (Bearbeitet ) in Mandatory speed limiters come into force in the EU and Northern Ireland

I like the idea but I'm skeptical. Not sure how it'll work, but any GPS app I use regularly messes up the speed limit, be it due to construction (or sudden lack of) or just 2 roads being too close and me being on the other one.

And when reading signs with cameras, there are some speed limit signs with additional information underneath specifying a time or anything really.

And then finally all the times when the signs are barely readable or even just wrong. I legit can't count how many times I've seen a speed limit sign 10 meters before a series of junctions with an end of speed limit at the end of this ordeal, like that's not how this works, what the hell?

Edit:
Just remembered the extremely silly cases of speedlimits. Once saw a 10km/h limit in a parking house when going up hill to the seconds floor. Just for shits and giggles I tried it, I almost went backwards trying to fight gravity, so glad no-one was there at the time, also just took forever.

TheGrandNagus , (Bearbeitet ) in Starmer kills off Rwanda plan on first day as PM

Based.

Got the ball rolling on this, junior doctor strikes, and planning system reform on day one.

The manifesto was fairly unradical and didn't seek to rock the boat too much, but tbh I'm glad it wasn't just filled with unworkable populist stuff that they probably couldn't achieve (cough, Tory, Green, and Reform, cough).
