Its Raccoons, 100% raccoons
The whole point of an UFO is that it is unidentified. I don’t get how people instantly think that the aircraft is alien…
To be honest, a lot of it is auto pilot anyways
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
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.
Yes, I’m Dutch, the average is indeed more like 6, and it was a joke. However, I’m 6,3” and if I go to a concert, I feel about average. I’m not towering above everyone else, like I do when I visit the south of Europe or Asia for example
6’2”? That’s pretty average here to be honest
Well, they need to know your device rotation to serve you the perfect ads! /s
Seriously, I wouldn’t mind them knowing a thing or two about me, when I’m using their services. But tracking everything, just because they can, is just obnoxious. If you would translate this to the real world, you would definitely get arrested when you would stand on the corner of the street, noting down everything you see, every dimension/detail of every person walking by. You would be labeled “creep”. But if Facebook does it, governments go like: You can build your new data center right here, don’t mind the measly peasants that currently live in the village nearby
But of course. In the same way that you don’t make a test easier for the student that gets bullied.
The criteria and rules to enter the EU have been created through decades of small changes, ensuring that every element in our norms and values is covered. Skipping some of these steps will only result in further misalignment in the future, causing friction. Look for example at Hungary. I am not sure if they took this train of thought/direction recently or if their stance towards the EU was always like this, but if it is the latter, then the EU failed to judge that in the joining process.
My personal take on this is that the EU has already become too big. It used to be small at first, with countries that shared similar beliefs and culture. I think the EU today is way too polarized to be effective. Sure, it is now bigger on the world stage, making a larger fist for our policies. But has also become more difficult to draft policies, due to the cultural and economic differences of its members.
If any company knows how to fast track their way into bankruptcy, it would be Netflix. Kudo’s for them to try and improve their previous track record!
Ah the infamous wizardry of the backdoor in encryption discussion.
My mom, if it wants me to do things /s
Yeah, imagine running a company, with customers that simply pay the monthly, because it is cheap enough to cancel. But then you start annoying the users and reduce convenience, then increase the price. What could possibly be the end goal here?
If such a thing can drop its price, be sure that it would be a great buying opportunity
As long as he stays away from windows, he will be fine. /s
I agree with you, I don’t think it is smart. Putin will not accept this deal, as he lost face in this conflict. Sure he will make the deal, but that doesn’t mean he won’t lock up Prigozhin or worse. Smartest move for Prigozhin is to continue.
Sure, the party won’t stop, but the fun people already left, they are here!
IMO, those are very different situations, with slavery their freedom was taken. Most of the migrants (not refugees) are free, they are simply in search for a better life. Which is understandable, don’t get me wrong. But the picture that is painted is too bright, people hop on a boat to “paradise” and are promised a life of riches. The reality is, this is not the situation they will find themselves in. Even if we were to allow them into the country, they would still live poor lives. Sure some will succeed, but most of them don’t have the foundational knowledge/skills/command of the language of the country to get a job and find a place to live.
Meanwhile, looking at my own country The Netherlands, we see that natives are also struggling for housing. My generation is basically fucked, young families cannot buy nor rent a home to start their family in. This will impact The Netherlands for years/decades to come, it will be reflected in birth rate and future workforce. Allowing other people in the country now would be catastrophic.
On the other hand, recently there was an article about an approach by French farmers which I like. They sourced Moroccan workers, that could work in France for a couple months (IIRC max stay was 3 months), during this time, the workers would receive fair pay. After the work permit ends, the workers have to go back to Morocco. Then they are only allowed to go back to work in France after a period of time, with a new workers permit.
The key benefit is that workers bring the money back home, benefitting Morocco financially, and France with workforce. Most of this work by the farmers is seasonal anyway.
Isn’t that a sign the pizza is too big? Never seen these things before…
