They figured out that regulations don’t matter if you just ignore them pretty early.

1969

For most of you […] this predates your parents’ birth.

Why did you have to make me feel old

Yes.

My man, we used to have the same thing during the darkest years of the communist dictatorship in Eastern Europe.

We called it the “doorbell shivers”.

Not really, the thing with the US is just that it joined a long list of countries led by people who should be committed for their own good. The US is not unique really at this point.

US tourists have nothing on UK stag-doers. Those people are a plague.

Yeah but we need more Papitos in the world

Yeah my wife is scary enough

Yeah, but the problem is that the “certain things” can actually encompass “any data about any person”. That’s a hard regex to write.

That is another great question. If it is transformative use of the primary data source, then that is likely illegal, as nobody gave permission for them to transform and process that personal data. If it is not transformative, and it just gives access to the primary source like a search engine on the other hand, then the problem is that if it returns copyrighted data, it is no longer fair use most likely.

Since 4chan is mostly edgy teens, 50 years later is still just someone in their 60s, and apparently that’s 20 years too young.

From the GDPR’s standpoint, I wonder if it’s still personal information if it is made up bullshit. The thing is, this could have weird outcomes. Like for example, by the letter of the law, OpenAI might be liable for giving the same answer to the same query again.

Which end to which end?

Your list is missing top militaries in the EU, like Poland and Greece. I don’t know how to take the whole thing seriously.

Everyone in power is freaking out because the situation where we might have to defend against an US naval invasion is not impossible, and we are not wholly able to do that, as while we might be able to sink a few carriers with Nordic subs, the airforce is not ready to fight back against the US.

Nobody is afraid of the Russian army beyond their hybrid warfare, which we are already being hit by since 2015, and nukes, which we have enough of our own that Russia knows we can glass Moscow if they twitch wrong.

The CNN article is completely missing the actual political context of the whole issue.

Orbán is down in the polls below the new opposition Tisza party, and this move is a plain attempt to:

• divide the Tisza supporters - who are very diverse but united by the economical and social collapse of the country - over culture politics
• further degrade the right to assemble.

People I know who have never been to Pride or are even slightly against Pride are saying they will be marching along this year. “I’ve never been to Pride, this year will be my first” is going viral on social media.

CNN is presenting this story being about an oppressive government cracking down on sexual minorities, in Hungary, on the ground, it looks like people are finally standing up for their countrymen even if they are different.

Orbán is not attacking here, he is flailing on the defensive. Keep the pressure up.

Oh, I know KCD, I just didn’t get the Eddie would go reference.

BTW if it’s video games about Czech history, there is the Last Train Home, which is about the Czechoslovakian Legion, who fought on the Entente side in Russia in WWI, and had a hell of a journey home as the Russian civil war started.

As I understand, their contribution let Czechoslovakia become an independent country as a victor of WWI.

Who’s Henry?

Yeah, the English worked with whoever they could to topple authoritarian regimes, even with other authoritarians.

I mean they sat at a table with Stalin, not much lower than that.

Why is this random piece of history relevant in a news comm though, Bandera has been dead almost as long as Stalin?

No, because the government immediately retreated from its position and it’s a minor scandal that tgis was used in the first place.

On the other hand, the organizers are keeping protests peaceful to make sure Vucic has no pretext for violence.

But if Vucic shot first, you can be sure that the crowd has people who would shoot back, and Vucic would get flayed alive. And I’m not exaggerating.

Yeah, but road wear is exponential. Driving a vehicle with twice the weight uses four times the public resources, but I don’t think you want to tax electricity that high.

This article is stupid. The EU has already been a military union since forever under the CSDF. There is little doubt that the UK would pitch in as well.
