I don’t condone how and what they are doing. But I don’t negate the fact that something like a big assault on Israel was bound to happen.

The thing is, Israel has been bullying, then you cannot be surprised by the reaction. Even though the reaction itself isn’t good at all. Both sides share the blame of this war and humanitarian crisis

That’s not what I meant to say though

Hit a dog with a stick everyday, one day the dog will bite. Sure, the biting isn’t good behavior and must be called out, but it could have been expected given the actions that led to the incident.

Strange thing is that they are not even valuing their own privacy. Adding “backdoors” to E2E encryption, or whatever that means, will also impact them. If a backdoor exists, malicious parties will find and exploit it. Legislators own messages, videos, photos and other media will no longer be safe either

It is probably the only thing that can really buy us time. Sure we cannot dispose of its waste currently, but it buys us time to find a way. We will find a way to solve the waste issue. Besides, the waste produced is actually quite little, and we do have great solutions for storage. As for your second point, Chernobyl could have been an even worse disaster indeed, but it is a plant built in a time when it was fashionable to built bigger and larger plants. Today, the strategy is to built the plants smaller, making the impact of such disaster also smaller.

Thanks for the insight!

No clue, I’m a Dutch citizen. Do your require to do an iris scan to get a passport in the USA? Might be covered there.

Its been here for decades. It was already mandatory to provide an iris scan upon arrival in the US back when I visited New York in 2013. At the time, I was already baffled it was a requirement and wasn’t happy, but at that moment there is nothing else to do then comply. The US probably has a very big iris scan, fingerprint and passport database of at least the western world.

Glad to see that the bullshit jobs are replaced first!

Yeah, same here in NL, rainy summer so far

Funny thing is that in our “regional delivery center” in Romania, most developers are woman, and CS is a very desirable study for woman there

You know Putin, he is very conscious about Russias ecological footprint /s

37m in one country. Considering the size if the market share in Norway, this is quite a huge fine. If only other countries would do the same. Imagine 37m x 160 or so countries where Meta is active

Are you sure you want WWIII? Because that’s basically what you are preaching.

Listening to the stories of my grandparents, another World War is not something I want

It will be difficult to switch my friend groups again, now that they are finally on Signal

I don’t want it to turn into Telegram, just give me a lightweight, secure and privacy focused messaging app.

Not sure if there isnt any, but I know most of it is soft. It is the reason why Amsterdam and Rotterdam cannot have a skyline like New York, which has unique properties that allows the Americans to build that high

Nope, our spoil isn’t dense enough for it. We cannot build higher then what you see in Rotterdam, because the building would just fall over

That’s a bit harsh, isn’t it? We had widespread lockdowns and other big measures. If we didn’t care, we wouldn’t have had those
