- Comment on The EU still wants to scan all your chats – and the rules could come into force by October 2025 6 hours ago:
Currently, I, my entire Family and everyone I know use Signal. And everyone that doesn’t want to can contact me via Matrix or XMPP, which literally no one ever does, even thought I know a lot of IT and CS people, but I keep them as options just to offer them to people.
I mean, there is also phone, SMS and email of course, but people seem to prefer a new messenger over actually contacting me in any of these ways. And then I’m always like “look, you can choose one of countless ways to contact me, if you like none of them, that’s a you-problem”.

The trees on the left are strangely offset upwards, there is a line down the windshield which I have never seen on a bus like that, the bus also does not have a door at the front, which they typically do, and to a lesser degree that yellow looks like it belongs to a school bus, while this clearly isn’t one

Have you tried setting up rclone for cloud access and then using restic with -r “rclone:my_s3:path/to/backup”?

Thank god my OS doesn’t care about EU regulation
- Comment on Tesla loses Autopilot wrongful death case in $329 million verdict 2 days ago:
Yeah, but you can just set targets and penalize companies for missing them. No. of accidents per year for example. Even assuming autonomous vehicles only ever become as good as the average driver, this already means a substantial improvement over where things are at. For me, that’s the point where I’d start to phase out manually operated vehicles. I believe they will ge significantly better than that eventually.
- Comment on Tesla loses Autopilot wrongful death case in $329 million verdict 2 days ago:
I’m kinda torn on this - in principle, not this specific case. If your AI performs on paar with an average human and there is no known flaw at fault, I think you shouldn’t be either.

Not enough sales data from Nintendo’s little experiment yet. Don’t hold your breath, ‘this stage’ won’t last.

- Comment on EU age verification app to ban any Android system not licensed by Google 6 days ago:
The GDPR also applies to public institutions as far as I’m aware - but most importantly the concern here is Google and data collected by Google. This data collection is in no way necessary to provide the age verification service. Most of it is not even related to it. The state legally cannot force you to agree to some corporations (i.e. Google’s) terms, even if we completely ignore the GDPR.

I think Lumo is based on Mistral models
- Comment on EU age verification app to ban any Android system not licensed by Google 1 week ago:
That Flathub app is unofficial afaik, which is why I don’t use it. Normally I wouldn’t care, but this seems important enough to not use a repackaged version
- Comment on Proton freezes Swiss investment over surveillance fears 1 week ago:
People here be acting like no one uses chatbots.
I like Lumo, be it only because I can use it instead of US or Chinese LLMs. Hope they help drive european AI development. And I’m quite sure Proton thought about their 1 billion investment a bit before announcing it.
You can refuse to use LLMs, but I doubt the use of AI will ever decrease again.
- Comment on EU age verification app to ban any Android system not licensed by Google 1 week ago:
Yeah no. Requiring anything Google for something as basic as this violates the GDPR. If they go through with this, it’s one legal case until they have to revise it.

- Comment on China’s First High-End Gaming GPU, the Lisuan G100, Reportedly Outperforms NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 4060 & Slightly Behind the RTX 5060 in New Benchmarks 1 week ago:
Uhm, excuse me, but I don’t think the 5060 qualifies as “high-end”. I’m not saying that matching it is not an achievement, but that headline is weird at best
- Comment on Public vs. Private synched photo management 1 week ago:
For any kind of storage, cloud or not, I think rclone should provide whatever you need for free (not entirely shure about metadata). You will likely want at least one script tho, since the commands can get quite long, depending on configuration.
I don’t know whether this fits your needs better, but “Ente” and “Proton” offer E2E encrypted cloud storage with the option to share parts of it via link or accounts
- Comment on 6G mobile could divide the world 2 weeks ago:
The thing with new Gs is that they recognized and try to improve that situation. 5G for example includes low-frequency bands that allow to cover much more area with one tower, making it more feasible for less populated areas.

No analytics scripts show up that’s true, but they explicitly claim the right to use it in their privacy statement.

Great idea, immediatly tarnished by using third party tracking tools (Google Analytics).
- Comment on Ubisoft EULA demanding consumers destroy delisted games adds fuel to Stop Killing Games movement 3 weeks ago:
I know everyone loves to hate Ubisoft, but this is quite the common term. Also it only even applies when the agreement is terminated, I don’t even know how that would look like. I have never heard about a usage agreement being terminated, unless you yourself violate it (e.g. get banned for cheating).

Would absolutely pay for an isekai crossing, although I imagine this to be a licensing nightmare

You wish they were like this, but in addition you are supposed to strongly look biologically male / female depending on what’s in your pants and only wear pants / dresses accordingly. Also please behave like they expect to and only like in bed who and what they allow you. And also please share their religion and fuck what science has to say about your sex.
