If by ‘Russian KoolAid’ you mean easily preventable inflation, internal border controls due to EU support of genocidal Tel-Aviv regime, exorbitant energy prices, and blatant censorship that even Stalin would envy, then yes, I guess I was thirsty AF…

EU is a total shitshow. It has been for years, but lately we really suffer from this stupid bureaucracy. Paper straws, attached bottle caps, not to mention billions they mindlessly pour into the slugfest in Ukraine.

I get the sentiment, but no. No way. No way in hell I’m allowing advertisers to get a bit of data or a penny out of me in any way, shape, or form. Not the way they’ve been treating us for the last decade. They can eat dung for all I care. Total war.

Yes. Although I noticed strange behavior for playlists, almost each second song triggers the nagging ‘Playback paused, click to continue’ for some reason, it could be related.

Umm, didn’t mean to deride you, sorry that I wasn’t clear enough about that, I should’ve been more precise. What I meant to say was that I was pirating before I knew what pirating even meant. I was not old enough at the time and it was in the good old times of C64 when people weren’t generally aware of piracy.

In other news, Spain sees a surge in VPN services subscription.

Please, I’ve been pirating on C64 before I even got the concept of pirating.

Europol can eat 💩, they aren’t taking away my E2E Encryption!

To shreds, you say?

Indeed, there’s nothing inherently exceptional in billionaires wealth hoarders, according to many studies of this phenomenon. They are literally just lucky enough that they managed to get their hands on such a ludicrous amount of money, they really aren’t anything special.

Indeed, it’s that rapist mentality, just like Rossmann calls it out in his videos.

I used #Twitter to get information from a variety of sources using #Quacker, all the way until they decided to basically prevent non-registered users to browse the website. Now you literally have to login to access the tweets, or see any comments, which is ludicrous. It’s not that generic public forum it used to be any longer and I don’t understand how they are expecting to get any meaningful ad revenue there.

#Mastodon is gazillion times better, has a normal community, albeit with a smaller user base, but that is probably a plus, since you don’t get so many weirdos.

NAL, but this is about ‘authorized radio communications’, which to me seems like the GSM/LTE spectrum and GPS and similar, not the civilian one, please correct me if I’m wrong as I’m not sure about the scope of the ‘authorized comms’ term.

Also, OP is in the EU, so laws may differ significantly here.

Not on the civilian spectrum, surely?

Copemaster.

So their ‘neutrality’ was a big pile of BS to begin with.

So you’re saying Swedes are stupid enough to voluntarily relinquish their independence to USA?

What did you expect?? They already sold your country off to the US, they’re building 17 military bases on your soil, so you’re in essence already occupied by the western military-industrial complex. Why does it surprise you that you don’t have a shred of a competent government left??

Adobe should die. As should LG, Samsung, Google, MicroSoft, Meta, TikTok, and many other scumbag corporations.

So if I send a photo of our kids playing naked in a baby pool to my wife through signal, some slimy-ass eurocrat in some IT center will be able to ‘manually verify’ the photo of my naked kids?? Are you mentally sound??

I hate pedos just as much as every other sane parent, perhaps even more so (I’d love to wear “Why, Garry, why?!” t-shirt all day every day). But to hell with this stupid idea that some slimy scumbags will be able to browse my own photos of my own kids. Hell, even any random photo I take, it’s my business and nobody elses! Go catch pedos the proper way instead, work a little, we don’t need Gestapo or Stasi to hover over everything we do or photograph.
