I don't need an account to use youtube and I can fairly easily configure my browser and hide my Internet presence such that all tracking-tech youtube tries on me is fooled sufficient that it effectively can't do this anymore. I do need an account to use Facebook. Therefor, I can't use Facebook without being tracked.

Meanwhile, in my country Facebook was forbidden to track me without account. See ie.: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.reuters.com%2Farticl...

Differently put, Youtube and Facebook are completely different. The moment Youtube requires having an account, then I guess Youtube too will be required by EU law to abide by the same rules. I also think Youtube already has to abide by the rules even if you are logged on with a Youtube account.

Privacy is a human right. I don't see how here in the EU a US company can try to force EU inhabitants to have to pay for their human rights.

I mean it's totally OK if the US wants to enslave its OWN population by letting them pay hard dollars if they want to enjoy a human right like privacy. But here in the EU this is not really considered of this time anymore. So Meta can go sell its nonsense somewhere else.

Meta, there will be plenty of competing services and companies that do follow the EU laws to replace you. So leave. Go away. Fuck off even.

The launch date and location will probably not be hard to find out for their competitors. Tracking the spacecraft afterwards can't be that hard I think. You also only need to track it for a few days to calculate the orbital and from that the rough area of its destination.

Can this be tuned to the frequency of my personal eyes? I want to see the stars too.

Failing that, can the streetlights just be turned off? They aren't necessary after let's say 23:00 or even 22:00. If late night city street dwellers want to see better in the middle of the night, they can carry a flashlight with them.

Swiss bank account?

Not just someone. A few hundred must die first. And maybe a few tech journalists too. Look at the whole self-driving car thing: a few hundred have died already. More will die. And still there are many people who believe that they can stop paying attention behind the wheel of a so called self driving car.

That quote comes from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in September 2, 2022.

It's Ukraine who is shelling the nuclear power plant. They said so themselves.

I'm pretty sure you are rooting for Ukraine and against Russia in this conflict, but that does not suddenly mean that Ukraine ain't doing this. There is also overwhelming proof of this.

Additionally the Pentagon also admits that it's likely that Ukraine is doing the shelling.

Gas is being used to produce electricity. The EU market rules for electricity means that the price for electricity is defined by the highest production cost. Gas is because of it being so expensive causing that the highest production cost for electricity is very high. And therefor is the price for electricity very high.

Nuclear power could reduce the need for gas to produce electricity. Lowering the price for electricity.

Vulture-like capitalists who seek to extract revenue out of the failing business of converting privacy and data into cash fail at convincing human beings who have been living in a well organized country for their entire lifetimes on giving up on the latter in exchange for being sucked dry from their privacy.

10 to 15 years. Not 5 years. The language has reached google-hype level and has existed for a few days already. So it'll be 10 to 15 years. A lot of other people will have told the recruiter on the phone that they have 20 years of experience. So you need to have 10-15 years at least.

A replacement language for C++ has been around for more than a decade. It even has a bunch of different compilers, can link against and easily use C++ classes and C APIs, etc. The D language never got widely adopted, however.

The simple truth is that C++ developers are not looking for a replacement and are quite happy with C++. Especially last few years as C++ is slowly but surely evolving in a mostly positive way. Slowly and surely is precisely what C++ developers want.

Carbon is yet another Google language. Yagl. We should make yet another google language compiler compiler. We could call it yaglcc. Or perhaps we should first start a yet another google language inventor compiler?

I think I will yield here because somebody with better recursive acronym skills than me is probably lurking in the dark with some good ideas?

It' s not a win for the Woke Cunts.

Insulting your workers as superior is simply discriminatory. And firing people for things like this is plain and simple illegal in almost all of the Western European countries.

Don't like it? Don't start a business here. And don't hire people like that and/or don't put them in leadership positions. That, or end up in jail. The freedom choices of life!

EU citizen here. A lot of devices being sold here in the EU already are like this. Examples are chargeable lamps for in the garden, devices that spread fragrances into you living room, I've seen rechargeable remote controls for all sorts of appliances, rechargeable remote audio, keyboard, mouse, etc, watches, vacuum cleaners and some garden appliances. Although for gardening the DIW I think more standardization on chargers for the batteries should still be done.

A lot of those electronics here already are USB-C port chargeable with a standard USB charger. And every year I see more and more electronics being sold in stores that are like this.

What you also see more and more, although slowly (too slowly in my opinion), are wall sockets with a USB or even USB-C port for example in modern electrically wired houses/kitchens and also at restaurants.

I personally find it fantastic that the EU tells companies what to do. So that they stop making consumers buy their silly charger or cable just so that they can charge extra money. And that way create more electronic waste and make consumers have to carry around 80 fucking thousand different solutions to the same problem. As if we are slaves to their 80 f. thousand solutions and as if we care at all about them and their moron-branding or religion about what goddamn charger or cable is so called the best.

Just standardize already. And if you can't, won't or don't want to: get the fuck out of our EU market. Now. Go sell your crap elsewhere.

You mean like what Iraq insurgents did to multi million American drones in 2009?

One thing you should realize is that Switzerland probably has the best railway service in both the EU as in the world.

Don't hope too much that all other EU countries have as good trains as Switzerland has.
