- Comment on [JS Required] EU unveils DNS4EU, a public DNS resolver intended as a European alternative to services like Google’s Public DNS and Cloudflare’s DNS. 1 day ago:
Yeah, sure. Go complain about your life in the EU. Must be awful.
Maybe go outside and enjoy your privileged life in Europe.

That guy thinks that the EU is one entity, not consisting of many member states.
Also it sounds like he only read headlines. Otherwise he would know that the EU survelliance bill is a proposal, which any member state can make in a democracy.
Guess the propaganda got to him if he belives more what he reads in a headline instead of what actions the EU actually makes.
- Comment on Trump signs orders to bolster US drone defenses, boost supersonic flight 1 day ago:
Drone “defences” lol.
Everyone knows the US only use it to attack, not defend.
- Comment on Meta plans to use AI to automate up to 90% of its privacy and integrity risk assessments, including in sensitive areas like violent content 1 week ago:
My guess is you dont know how bad it is. These people at Meta has real PTSD, and it would absolutly benefit everyone, if this in any way could be automatic with AI.
Next question is though, do you trust Meta to moderate. Nah, should be an independent AI, they couldnt tinker with to also remove everything they just dont like.
- Comment on The New York Times Just Published Some Bizarre Race Science About Asian Women 1 week ago:
Yes. But also the labour thing. Like alot.
- Comment on Trump calls US program helping boost internet access 'racist' 1 week ago:
Its not “whites” anymore.
Rich and poor, nothing else.
- Comment on Funny how we see the world in landscape, but live it mostly in portrait. 2 weeks ago:
Alright, I go to work, my house and playing football.
All these things are in landscape. I know my shower is in portrait, which makes this post oddly good in this sub, but the rest of my rooms are also wider than tall.
- Comment on The technology to end traffic deaths exists. Why aren’t we using it? 2 weeks ago:
If I could cut my work time by my driving time, because I would be able to work from the car, it would be an absolute game changer for my family life.
- Comment on Trump says a 25% tariff "must be paid by Apple" on iPhones not made in the US, says he told Tim Cook long ago that iPhones sold in the US must be made in the US 2 weeks ago:
Also wont matter because 50% of the population would have to go to war, if he keeps this up.
- Comment on Is America headed for an age of dumb phones? 2 weeks ago:
No. A very small number of people is.
- Comment on Governments continue losing efforts to gain backdoor access to secure communications 3 weeks ago:
Screen recording or snapshots like Windows Recall. Or keyboard telemitry.
But that’s it I think.
- Comment on We should name the recent stock market crash the Fool's Fallout 3 weeks ago:
When it’s negative, I think it’s good to get it in.
We all know Hitler too and he’s mentioned alot in a time periode, but I think his legacy is a little stained imo.
- Comment on The Beauty Of Having A Pi-hole · Den Delimarsky 4 weeks ago:
I have it on my Pi, and it does the job just fine. But if you have a home server with a little more power, do it there instead.
The last thing you want is your DNS to bottleneck. Never had a problem with my Rasp5, but it all depends on how many other services you try to run.
- Comment on Can local LLMs be as useful and insightful as those widely available? 5 weeks ago:
To be fair, he is just asking for more reasons than privacy. No reason not to give him them, and also okay to say we don’t think there is any.
- Comment on Wikipedia sources their information better than most journalists do in their articles. 5 weeks ago:
Wikipedia is very good, but ALWAYS look for more than one source.
I also once wrote a paper about WW2 in school, and when I got into Wikipedia, someone had edited the entire page to say “Hitler won”. Nothing else.
It was only in my language tho, and was resolved quickly.
- Comment on Android’s next big feature turns your phone into a desktop 5 weeks ago:
My guess is that people who would use DEX is also people who are satisfied with ChromeOS. Which is just as closed down.
Hopefully, when Android does this, they will be under same gatekeeper restrictions in the EU as Windows.
- Comment on TikTok fined $600 million for China data transfers that broke EU privacy rules 5 weeks ago:
Random question, as Im guessing you are from the states.
How impossible is it actually in pratice to vote in other parties than Democrats and Republicans?
Asking because it seems like you got a hard time changing things, if theres no competition in politics.
- Comment on TikTok fined $600 million for China data transfers that broke EU privacy rules 5 weeks ago:
But only as it seems.
EU fines is a ladder system. First offence it can be around the 600m. Next one is % of their income worldwide (not profit).
Should they hit hard on the first offence? Maybe, but getting the first strike is not fun either with how this system works.
- Comment on Google won't bring new Nest Thermostats to Europe 1 month ago:
Aah, the US.
The only place in the world where everyone knows the word ‘communism’ and nobody knows what it is.
Russia and China are not communism btw. :shocked Pikachu:
- Comment on Google won't bring new Nest Thermostats to Europe 1 month ago:
This is the way.
I for sure also want to access it on my Home Assistant, and it really can save alot of power to automate it. Even going down to 20C in the night, and make it going to 22C before anyone wakes up saves alot in a year.
- Comment on Google won't bring new Nest Thermostats to Europe 1 month ago:
They call the product line ‘Nest’, because it’s where their data servers is getting nutrition from.
- Comment on Google won't bring new Nest Thermostats to Europe 1 month ago:
So Google is telling us, they cant make a product if there are standards or requirements for what they are doing?
That means whatever US customers are buying, theres something in it, that does something illegal in EU.
- Comment on Energy labelling and ecodesign requirements will apply to smartphones and tablets from June 2025 1 month ago:
Same, good to find out though. Good thing is some phone manufatures will now actually have to do something about poor efficiency, if they want to sell more.
I always look at it when buying machines for my home, why not a phone.
- Comment on EU fines Apple $568m for deterring third-party payment methods on App Store 1 month ago:
It goes up if they dont comply. This is first offence since the law came into effect.
- Comment on In 2024, 62% of all child sexual abuse webpages found were traced to an EU country, and the Netherlands remains the most abused global location for hosting CSAM. 1 month ago:
Maybe I know nothing, but my VPN always defaults to Netherlands in the EU.
Could it be that its just hosted there through some tunnel VPN or some shit?
I dont know how it works, so maybe its all wrong.
- Comment on LLM Virology Capabilities Test 1 month ago:
Great results. Would an AI build for this not be better, or is it just meant as a kind of benchmark for LLMs?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
EU is democratic, which means everyone can propose a law. Never have EU put a backdoor into anything, but its true that there have been law proposals for it.
Never voted through.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
EU could potentially make a group category like for Norway or Switzerland, and then take in other countries all around the world to cooperate more and stand together with the EU on some issues.
Canada would be a great candidate. Maybe even Australia, but I dont really know anything about their politics.
- Comment on Swiss officials not following EU use of burner phones for US travel 1 month ago:
Everything is provocative if your dick is orange.

EU and its contries are pro open source and i fucking love it.
