- Comment on TikTok Refuses to Confirm or Deny That It's Providing User Data to ICE 10 hours ago:
Guys ffs. The US Cloud act dictates that every SINGLE US based company has to hand over all data when requested to the government.
They took over TikTok. Now the data flows.
It’s not even speculation. Why ask them?
The US government made this into law. You can just read it, if you want. Masks off.

Which then is technically correct, but has never been done. Also, the King in Denmark for example has no veto right.
It’s the ministers who decide.
So making the argument in a post about dictatorship and control from monarchs is pretty weak.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 days ago:
Some EU Royal Families actually still can decide laws!
Please name just one.
- Comment on 'No One Should Have a Copyright on Vance Being Booed': Video From Olympics Blocked on X 3 days ago:
Because the police is employed by states and the country. ICE is their private army, and obeys their master.
No difference than officers having red armbands in the 1930’s.

Everything on the internet is public
- Comment on Homeland Security Spying on Reddit Users 3 days ago:
Well, there is no such thing as communism with a dictator. It’s simply two opposites.
Communism is without a state. Meaning no true communist country have ever existed in modern time.
- Comment on Was there censorship on TikTok after the U.S. takeover? 6 days ago:
Yeah ofc, and it will continue.
The things being censored is just different now.
- Comment on Elon Musk says Tesla ending Models S and X production, converting Fremont factory lines to make Optimus robots 1 week ago:
Damn. It’s the end then. That can only mean the robots are ready for the streets. Literally, THE STREETS.
Think about it. He’s in the government (non-elected) and they are deploying ICE agents everywhere.
The robots will 100% be seen standing at street corners “keeping the peace” within a year.
Omfg am I crazy, or is this realistic? Please just tell me I’m wrong and there’s no chance.
- Comment on Eric Schmidt: ‘Europe doesn’t have an AI strategy. If it doesn’t invest heavily, it will end up using Chinese models’ 2 weeks ago:
It’s fucking software. Europe can use it if they want, they can make one from an open source model, and it will also be true in the future.
Europe would just be ready to pick up the scraps that is the US stock market if the AI bubble bursts.
- Comment on Bye, X: Europeans are launching their own social media platform, W 2 weeks ago:
Should just have said it stands for Wordfeud, which would be commical.
- Comment on Hard drive prices have surged by an average of 46% since September — iconic 24TB Seagate BarraCuda now $500 as AI claims another victim 3 weeks ago:
Are we really sure that AI is not just used as a scape goat for companies to raise prices?
Why HDDs?
- Comment on Europe Has a New Plan to Break Free from US Tech Dominance 4 weeks ago:
I think they do actually. They just showed support for Greenland and has publicly said they are slowly breaking away from trade deals with the US.
Europe is the obvious new partner and both sides would benefit alot.
Canada is for sure also looking at the tech side. And with the open source approach from the EU, they too can benefit.
- Comment on We really need a community for AuDHD info-dumping 4 weeks ago:
:(
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
We could also look for more alliancens who are against the US, calling it “the allied”. The US could find a name with a N and a Z and fill in the rest.
- Comment on Bye Bye Big Tech: How I Migrated to an almost All-EU Stack (and saved 500€ per year) 5 weeks ago:
Because of the US Cloud Act. Try compare that to GDPR.

If there are two opinions present on Lemmy, it’s already twice as good.
- Comment on Google Deploying Huge CO2 Battery Facilities with Company Energy Dome 1 month ago:
If you want to fight for something, please learn what you stand behind.
Battery facilities is the next step in green energy, and I like to see different approaches to this. That is what we need right now.
Will this turn out to be a worse option than what will be invented in 10 years? Almost 100% sure. But did it help us getting to a better place? Yes.
Fuck Google though, but it doesnt make sense to do blind hate.
- Comment on ‘All brakes are off’: Russia’s attempt to rein in illicit market for leaked data backfires 1 month ago:
People are starting to realise that the biggest survilliance state in the world is the US.
And they want you to think it’s China or Russia to deflect attention.
- Comment on Apple will let iPhone users in Brazil get apps and services outside of the App Store 1 month ago:
That’s where these rules are coming from. EU made the first move, and countries around the world follows.
It’s like this with most laws. But the world depends on the first mover. Right now for everything on consumer protection, it’s the EU they look at.
- Comment on AI-generated code contains more bugs and errors than human output 1 month ago:
Well, yeah. It also took 100x the time to write it.
Vibe coding is only really useful for a coder. Because you understand and correct it.
- Comment on Apple announces more ads are coming to App Store search results 1 month ago:
Yeah, guess who makes the posts. The US propaganda machine.
- Comment on Apple announces more ads are coming to App Store search results 1 month ago:
Wonder why we need 3rd party app stores.
And ffs, would other countries help a little, or should the EU just carry your asses every single time big tech tries some shit.
- Comment on China Has Reportedly Built Its First EUV Machine Prototype, Marking a Semiconductor Breakthrough the U.S. Has Feared All Along 1 month ago:
Long time ago that was true.
- Comment on India orders phone makers to pre-install state-owned web safety app: Report 2 months ago:
These numbers are like proclaiming you won an “election” with 90% votes.
- Comment on Netflix kills casting from phones 2 months ago:
Yeah… There goes my subscription. I’m casting everything to Chromecast on my older TV.
- Comment on Infosys co-founder once again calls for longer than 70-hour weeks - and no, he's not joking 2 months ago:
That’s the thing. They wont pay you more. Maybe some people would get the extra money, but all new employees would get the same salary for more hours.
- Comment on The Supreme Court Is About to Hear a Case That Could Rewrite Internet Access 2 months ago:
Exactly this. Streaming was a thing long time before Netflix, but they made it so damn easy.
Now they fucked it, and streaming piracy became so damn easy that more people did it than before.
If they close down piracy streaming/download, guess what. Dark web access, or i2p maybe, will be so damn easy.
People are willing to do it, if there’s no service that’s worth it’s money.
Piracy is a service issue. Most of us would pay, if the service is good enough.
- Comment on [Opinion] X users in USA don't like that we have an opinion about them? Tough 2 months ago:
Maybe, just maybe, MAGA supporters will one day realize that the reason there’s so many foreign bots making propaganda about Trump, is because it weakens the US.
- Comment on Elon Musk Had Grok Rewrite Wikipedia. It Calls Hitler “The Führer.” 2 months ago:
That’s a good point. But The Führer is not something positive, and I wouldnt think much about it.
I’m don’t think this was an intentional way to make him sound better. I think we should be much more aware of fact checking what it says, than overusing a historical word to describe Hitler. That might just be an AI thing.
- Comment on Elon Musk Had Grok Rewrite Wikipedia. It Calls Hitler “The Führer.” 2 months ago:
Tbh, from a historical point of view, The Führer was used to describe Hitler. Now in Germany, it’s basically only used to refer to him.
I’m not for deleting history, and I think the context is important. People needs to know why The Führer or “der Führer” is bad.
A context which I think would have helped in another example would be the N-word. If everyone was really taught the history around that word, I think/hope alot of people would think twice before using it today.
Or is that only me?
