There are already some: Eurofighter, Saab Gripen, Dassault Rafale.
Although I remember a news story from like 7 years ago, where Austrias new Eurofighter jets couldn’t fly because they did not receive the GPS license from the US in time… So still dependent on the US, even for “domestic” jets, though that problem could probably be solved
The first 6 years of Firefox were done without telemetry and after it was implemented it was opt-in for a while.
While I see the use of telemetry for development purposes, I would not call it aridiculous thing to not want
I think this is a reasonable explanation.
But I also believe a large part of the firefox user base does not want any data about them collected by their browser, no matter if it is for commercial purposes or simply analytics / telemetry. Which is why the original statement “we will never sell any of your data” was just good enough for them, and anything mozilla is now saying is basically not good enough, no matter how much they clarify it to mean “not selling in the colloquial sense”
Easy, the real Donny wouldn’t know what Pierogi are, unless McDonalds has them on their menu now…
I honestly can’t believe we are in a situation where the US conservatives are cozying up to Russia and Nazi Ideology of all things. And they expect help for Ukraine to be nothing more than a business deal type loan with immediate financial return instead of political goodwill from what it sounds like
Oh absolutely. At this point I’m not surprised anymore that they turned to shit, it’s more like I think they’ve hit rock bottom already but they manage to surprise me with new ways to dig their hole even deeper.
So I thought this is never going to fly under GDPR. Then the article goes on to say:
Many privacy laws, including the EU’s GDPR and California’s CCPA, require user consent for tracking. However, because fingerprinting works without explicit storage of user data on a device, companies may argue that existing laws do not apply which creates a legal gray area that benefits advertisers over consumers.
Oh come on Google, seriously? I remember a time when Google were the good guys, can’t believe how they’ve changed…
This is a great analogy for anectotal evidence (“I had a great time”) vs empirical evidence (millions died, i.e. did not have a great time)
Well, at least that will make him tougher and less likey to be eaten.
I get the sentiment, but at the same time it feels like a mad waste of resources and energy in a time of climate crisis. These materials and electric power could have gone into sustainable transportation or carbon capture instead of fuelling some corporations monetary gain.
When you get to vote for multiple submissions every 2-3 months, turnout tends to be lower. Probably only people who hold a strong opinion about the topics of the current vote will actually vote.
Yeah that’s pretty much what I meant, sorry if I wasn’t clear.
I just think in order to reduce the resistance against such a change, it might be good to still provide the “old” method with voter registration for anyone who doesn’t want a government ID because of “muh freedoms”.
That way, any normal citizen can just have a government ID and by identifying themselves be able to vote without further registration. Any citizen who doesn’t want an ID can go through a voter registration process, same as today.
They could just make a government ID that is not mandatory. Much like a passport. And whoever holds a passport or a voluntary govt ID is automatically enabled to vote using their ID / passport, but then would still leave the choice of manually registering for voting for those who don’t trust “the government” and don’t want a govt ID
So he’s saying out loud that he wants to stage a military coup?
Same with the “select all images with bicycles”, theres usually at least 2 or 3 in there that are so blurry you can’t tell if it’s a motorbike or a bicycle
These quotes go to show how bigger corporations like Valve can still be a helpful, desirable influence in the FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) community.
Unfortunately, as far as bigger corporations go, there are very few that are “like Valve”…
I think there are a lot of ways this is technologically solvable. Imho this is an economic challenge, not a technological one.
And then there is youtube which just discards the whole buffer content each time an ad plays. Very sophisticated. Although knowing google that behavoir is likely on purpose
Larry Ellisons Oracle gobbled up many great companies and open source projects and sucked the life out of them, such as Sun Microsystems, OpenOffice, MySQL to name just a few
Wow so many suggestions, I did not expect that. You all are amazing, what a great community! Thanks, I know what I’ll be doing tomorrow 🎧
I use Thunder.
I love that there are so many different apps available for such a comparatively small platform as Lemmy. So many flavours to chose from :)
