- Comment on Finland's Ministry of Justice is considering halting its plans to start using US-hosted cloud services 2 weeks ago:
Well yes, but it is relevant unless you believe policy makers will only work towards a world that is how it should be. That’s why i started with mentioning i don’t disagree with you. We surely can blame them for the results of their choices, but i don’t think we can play the ’omg i’m totally surprised’-card is what i’m saying.

no matter what state it is operated from
Not disagreeing, but if Trump hadn’t won a second term there really wouldn’t be a dire reason to avoid the US. Sure they would be better of choosing a local or at least European provider, but most politicians (naively) didn’t see the current hostility coming.

- Comment on EU lists Iran’s Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist group 2 weeks ago:
Morally i totally agree, but if i see what powers this gives the member countries i do totally support this move. Maybe they should make a list with violent government bodies that would function in the same way as the list of terrorist organisation.

The list would be fluid
If the killer keeps the money they take the ‘vacant’ place in the list, in the end the person most willing to use violence and most capable to buy protection end up with most money. Might not really be a meaningful difference to what we have now lol

- Comment on noyb win: Microsoft ordered to stop tracking school children 3 weeks ago:
Not necessarily, TikTok now delete accounts they believe to belong to children under 13. They could have chosen to do age authentication the British way but i suppose they had a big reason not to. Microsoft might understand they could lose business if they force users to prove they’re not children. It’s not like everybody would trust MS with such data.

Humanity is a corrupting force.
There is a reason we put locks on our doors and have insurance in case someone does break in. Sure this is an issue that needs to be addressed but it is one much smaller than getting the people in power to put things in motion. Once that happens (and we’re getting there) there will be funding and a public awareness campaign for sure, especially once the first politician gets hacked because they were using non-proprietary software because he wanted to kick Big Tech out..

- Comment on Denominator, go Mercator 3 weeks ago:
but that was just Mercator playing a trick upon me
Nearly every projection that show the entire globe on a 2d canvas will show you a map where the horizontal distance is almost double the vertical distance, so it is very correct that a journey from the top to the bottom is much shorter than from the most left to the most right.
- Comment on Denominator, go Mercator 3 weeks ago:
Crossing the globe north to south is the same distance as east to west, but since it is folded open on 2d maps it looks as if the earth is wider then it is higher. In this projection that means the map is stretched more horizontally than vertically, if i understand correctly.

- Comment on Man uses 99 phones to trick Google Maps into thinking there’s a traffic jam to prove a big point 3 weeks ago:
There was a neighborhood in the Netherlands near the beach that was being flooded by tourists looking to park their car, they complained about it but the local government didn’t listen to their concerns. So then they decided to take matters into their own hands and came up with a plan to continuously report road construction to Google. The result was that Google Maps no longer directed tourists into the neighbourhood, but this led to parking problems at the beach entrances but instead of building more parking spaces the municipality created signs telling drivers to turn their gps off.

This could also lead the opposite way, having traffic be redirected so they can do their razzia in peace…

- Comment on Trump Threatens Tariffs on Any Nation That Opposes US Efforts to Conquer Greenland | Common Dreams 4 weeks ago:
One of the craziest things he did in geopolitics so far:
- Greenland is NATO-territory
- Greenland would like to be (more) independent and is very willing to sell rare earths to the US
- Greenland (through Denmark) signed treaties decades ago to allow US troops and weapons on its soil no questions asked
So no need for US to own it. Also,
- Greenland does not want to join the US
Make America Go Away!

- Comment on Why do we have shampoo, conditioner, and body wash soaps? 5 weeks ago:
Same goes for cleaning your house, you can choose to a buy a single bottle of buy multipurpose cleaner and clean everything with that. Just pour it over dirty dishes, dirty loundry, sticky floors, smelly toilets. Just kidding of course, but there is a balance. You don’t need handwash, feetwash, neckwash and bellywash because those areas are rather similar. If you have sensitive or acne prone skin you better get something gentle for your face. If your hair doesn’t gets clean with body wash (or you get dry or oily skin if you wash your body with shampoo), better get something specialised for that.
That leaves you with 1 to 3 cleaning products (bodywash, facewash, shampoo). If you not only want to clean, but also want to care you’ll need 1 to 3 caring products (body lotion, face cream, conditioner). But capitalism means you can get 1 to infinity products, it’s good you’re questioning what you do and don’t need.
