I would like to point out that, for the most part, not even car brands want to keep selling ICE vehicles.

jmcs ,

That's the point. AP doesn't want to piss off the livestock industry.

The high representative office is probably the least damaging place to put a neo-liberal in the European Commission.

The problem is that recall means using Windows is not a problem for Windows users anymore, it's a problem for everyone that needs to communicate with Windows users.

jmcs ,

Still? LLMs hallucinations are unavoidable, so OpenAI's ability to comply with the law is the same as a Mexican's drug cartel.

jmcs ,

Or a better night train. The slowness is not an issue if you can actually save time by merging the trip and the hotel stay.

As a leftist that had to cut off a bunch of contacts in the last few years, it's usually one of:

  • "the Soviet Union helped us on our struggle, so we refuse to see they were not that good in the first place and more importantly that it's deader than Monty Python's parrot"
  • "America bad, so everyone else good"
  • "[Insert long, ahistorical, and ideologically incoherent rambling], so it's now their turn to play empire. What do you mean no one should play empire?"
  • "Comrade Dmitry tells me what to think since 1972 and he says Ukraine are Nazis and that Putin is a true comrade"
  • "We should have peace at all costs. Why are you asking me about WW2, Operation Barbarossa, and the lend lease? I've to... go water the plants, that's it, water the plants" runs away

So nothing really new since 1939.

Germany’s far-right AfD bans leading candidate from EU election events ( www.france24.com ) Englisch

Germany's AfD party on Wednesday banned its leading candidate from appearing at EU election campaign events, after France's main far-right party announced a split with the Germans over a slew of scandals involving the politician.

jmcs ,

vote for us. Our lead candidate is... We don't talk about him. But vote for him anyway.

jmcs ,

In the AfD they all are, the difference is that this one said the quiet part out loud.

Helicopter Carrying Iran’s President Has Crashed, State Media Reports ( www.nytimes.com ) Englisch

A helicopter carrying President Ebrahim Raisi crashed on Sunday, according to Iran’s state media and the country’s mission to the United Nations, but has yet to be found by search-and-rescue workers because of heavy fog.

Dude is/was providing military equipment to terrorist groups and states that's being used to attack an European country and European ships.

jmcs ,

Fox News is an American problem, they don't have any significant presence in Europe - the closest would be Sky News but Comcast bought it from Murdoch in 2018.

jmcs ,

They are trying to convince as many countries as possible to maximize the impact of the announcement.

jmcs ,

Because international law is more about "there's a general consensus about this" than written law (and in few places this is as true as what counts as a sovereign entity), this kind of organized action can have more impact than they might seem at first.

jmcs ,

And this is not even about monopoly. There's a reason why the new law uses the term gatekeeper for companies that can shape and distort the market instead of monopoly.

jmcs ,

What the EU needs is a proper mobility policy to reduce the demand for cheap Chinese crap for every day commuting.

jmcs ,

And letters. If you go to the stasi museum in Berlin they have the letter opening equipment as proof of how despicable they were.

jmcs ,

I don't see why it wouldn't apply. Their argument that selling user data to target ads is the only way they can be profitable is literally the same as Facebook's.

jmcs ,

Terrorists are always going to attack whatever has the most convenient combination of lax security and number of people for them. They don't go for cultural venues because they loath theater, they go for them because there's less things that go wrong for them.

The best governments can do is to have more security in places with more people - like sports events.

EU staff criticise von der Leyen over Israel stance ( www.euractiv.com ) Englisch

"Notably, we are concerned about the unconditional support by the European Commission you represent, for one of the two parties”, EU staff stated in a three-page letter, which was sent to von der Leyen’s office on Friday (20 October)....

jmcs ,

Why? She's the one that's off the script. The official consensus is that the EU recognizes the right of Israel to defend itself as long as it does so proportionally and in accordance with international law, which are very important qualifiers (compare her speeches with Borrel's speeches)

jmcs ,

And by identity, he means the russified identity that Moscow tried to impose on Moldova.

jmcs ,

The guy that was prime minister of a sovereign money laundromat doesn't have that much moral ground to speak. At least Ukraine is trying to clean up their act while fighting a war for their very survival as a nation.

jmcs ,

Technically it was just a Microsoft Tech Evangelist that said that, in a non official capacity, and I'm pretty sure the sales people took him to the torture chamber after that.

From a technical point of view, there was nothing stopping Microsoft from making Windows 10 a rolling release, so I can see how some naive fools might have convinced themselves that their employer wouldn't be shitty to their users for the first time ever.
