  Isn’t that illegal in the EU?

  Cool, state run slavery.

  Fair points, even though I am not sure how a “control” is supposed to look like in this context. Got something better on the impact of LLM usage on the users brain, especially in regards to learning?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have you know?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Luckily we don’t have Wendys around here …

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have you know?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Let me guess, the shitpost about that is that this image is fully LLM generated with zero source, isn’t it?

  I’ll be bold here and post an actual source, just to show that LLMs do indeed negatively effect its users: collimateur.uqam.ca/…/2506.08872v1_comp.pdf

  As clear as day that Trump plans to be dictator for life. At least there is a certain biological limit. Bad news is that those behind the regime, can build upon the destroyed rule of law and institutions to maintain the regime beyond Trump.

  Not only 0% alcohol, also 0% taste and 0% beer. There are great alcohol free beers out there btw. This ain’t it.

  Chauvinism has been one of the best selling exports though. No self respecting nationalist who isn’t also a chauvinist.

  I endors the message but I hate the use of AI to produce political memes.

  (likely) face identification and other surveillance of regular customers, if any data at all is created by that and analyzed or stored by anything that is a grave GDPR violation. Surveillance cameras for larger areas can be allowed but only to record for cases of legitimate control, no automated analysis nor data transfer to god knows where.

  Personalised pricing is illegal as well in a supermarket. Digital price tags are allowed (and common) but there are clear rules how often prices are allowed to change. I’d have to research it myself but I think not more than once a day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Local Walmart just installed cameras in the aisles…⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They actually tried it in the EU but failed hard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Local Walmart just installed cameras in the aisles…⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thoroughly illegal in the EU. Luckily Walmart doesn’t operate there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Someone should really develop this idea⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The car share can be replaced with self driving cars, however if you make self driving cars more attractive than cars now, you’ll shift the balance and are heading towards more car centric and therefore more hostile and less attractive places again.

  It is a nice fairy tale hat self driving cars are more space efficient. Real service patterns have shown that they fill up road infrastructure more than regular cars as they will do either fill up trips or need to drive everything twice. Also, making use of these fancy advantages (higher speeds, shorter breaking distance, dynamic crissings without traffic lights) make roads much more pedstrian hostile, more highway like.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Someone should really develop this idea⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  And self driving cars will do nothing to change anything. I you push for them, more than for cars currently, cities in the Netherlands will be much worse places and traffic will get much worse as well.

  Cars are of course part of the mobility equation, especially in rural regions with small settlements. 1 hour connections can still be perfectly fine for commuting but it can only be a supporting service there. The story is completely different one as soon as you get anywhere close to any major city. In the Netherlands, most people live in such locations.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Someone should really develop this idea⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  A city built for cars (no matter if “self driving” or not) has to be built much more spread out. Distances for everything multiply. At the same time that spread out infrastructure leads to heavily mono-directional traffic, making rush hour load much worse.

  That is why people in car only cities aren’t any faster than cities well designed for public transit.

  joke aside, the Hippodrome was your common low key football game, with betting and people going crazy. The Colloseum on the other side was a special occasion where you better looked your best and behaved. Hollywood never got the memo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Belgium national team's officialsocial media post after beating theUSA national team in the World Cup:"Overturn this"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought it was pretty much general knowledge that Belgium was one of the most terrible colinial powers in europe?

  I do see the lack of relevance of that for that football game though. It is like talking about the genocide(s) the US was built upon, just because of a football game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨France's left-wing presidential candidate has opinions on GTA 6 and the discless PlayStation fiasco⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This has absolutely nothing to do with wind power in France. The US pays a French company a lot of money to not build wind power in the US. Not France’s or Europe’s strategic problem.

  France has massively increased renewable sources and is also in good position regarding EV transition.

  No matter how you turn it, there is no reason to make oneself dependent on gas or oil from an openly hostile dictatorship in Moscow.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Happy Birthday guys, gals, and other pals!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You should readjust your irony detector.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨France's left-wing presidential candidate has opinions on GTA 6 and the discless PlayStation fiasco⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Personal traffic is currently shifted to electricity, so is home heating. Heavy rood traffic is currently the implementation of vehicles that can cover everything up to mid range. China is already getting into transition in that market too. Europe would be irresponsible not to follow.

  What is left is rather small in volume. Making oneself reliant on an openly hostile Russian dictatorship which won’t waste a second to use that dependency as a weapon against France or Europe, is not necessay than anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨France's left-wing presidential candidate has opinions on GTA 6 and the discless PlayStation fiasco⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s exactly Russian propaganda. France doesn’t need “cheap energy” ftom Russia. It needs a sovereign reliable energy supply, one that pnly renewable energy (and possibly nuclear under certain conditions) can enable. France is working on this.

  “Cheap energy” from Russia is also a lie. Putin’s vassal Orban didn’t get cheap energy either. Hungary did have higher energy prices abd much higher inflation than other EU member states.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨France's left-wing presidential candidate has opinions on GTA 6 and the discless PlayStation fiasco⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  His views go beyond dislike. He wants the EU functionally dismantled and that is why Putin doesn’t care if he or Le Pen make it to power.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨France's left-wing presidential candidate has opinions on GTA 6 and the discless PlayStation fiasco⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Putin doesn’t really care if European countries ard governed by communists, fascists or whoever, as long as they are nationalists, working towards the balkanisation of Europe and the functional destruction of the EU because this is tge precondition to enable the next steos of Russian conquest and dlmination of Europe.

  There are not only right Putinist parties in the EU. In Germany Wagenknecht is openly pro Russian and pretends to be left as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨France's left-wing presidential candidate has opinions on GTA 6 and the discless PlayStation fiasco⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Left nationalist, if that makes any sense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨France's left-wing presidential candidate has opinions on GTA 6 and the discless PlayStation fiasco⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  He also has opinions on the EU and those happen to be quite of the kind Putin approves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's always the ones you expect⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It always happens that all those super correct and honest politicians get corrupted by corrupt and evil Brussels. Happened to the former interior minister of Austria as well, as soon as he became an MEP. /s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I love houses that trap heat! /s⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It really depends where you are and also if you are in a dense city or on the countryside. Climate Change has made an impact on that as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🤔 Interesting⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Because they can. It really is just a cartell. Especially institutions pay a fortune for bundled access.
