My point is that “sovereignty” implies ownership and specific jurisdiction. You can’t just take any open source project and say that you are “sovereign”. It would only make sense if that project accepts only European contributors and vets them.
Open source does not imply “european”.
Open source? One that’s developed by people all over the world, including US, China and Russia? And Linux, whose lead maintainer is an American citizen, and which is developed in the large part by US and Chinese corporations? Doesn’t sound very sovereign to me.
If European laws mandate this then this “european” phone will of course do it. That’s what you get when asking for “digital sovereignty” - instead of tech corporations serving interests of US government you have tech corporations serving interests of European governments.
Clipboard is provided by the OS, but application chooses how to integrate with it.
When you select text and hit ctrl-c or click copy in the context menu, it’s all done by the application. And it may choose to remove/disable this feature.
That’s exactly why shower/sink pissers do it. They love the smell.
I respect that Google does its own thing instead of copying Apple like all others but most this m3 expressive stuff is so ugly. The only thing it made better is quick settings on Pixels. But that’s just because because the previous iteration was already really bad.
Young people don’t care about generation labels. The only divide is young vs old (with “old” being anyone older than them obviously). And “boomer” is a fun word to use as a pejorative. The fact that it makes people mad when used “incorrectly” makes it even better.
That’s how it is with all mobile apps. Most installs are followed immediately by uninstall. People get bored and install random shit from Play Store, don’t understand what it’s about about and delete it.
Also most people have no real need to use chatgpt anyway. For them it’s just a cool toy.
They should also block linux users and other suspicious people. Lots of hackers and weirdos use linux.
60s sci-fi “predicted” that we will settle Mars by 1980 and have interstellar colonisation program by 2000.
The only problem with Samsung A series is that the phones are huge. Phones the size of base S model are rare. Beyond Samsung S series there is only Pixel (which has its own issues) and some Chinese models.
Maybe because they don’t play elite dangerous
It becomes even funnier when you remember that Stalin oppressed his “fellow” proletarians, not bourgeois. Lenin had already “solved” the bourgeois question, there were none left to oppress (not that Lenin didn’t engage in his own “dictatorship over the proletariat” of course).
Just don’t ask them why are USSR’s borders are so suspiciously similar to those of Russian Empire’s and what Esd Army was doing in the 1920s.
Anyone that claims that America is their “enemy” is an honorary communist and must be unconditionally supported.
Just because the state is “blue” doesn’t mean there aren’t millions of conservatives there. And given that most people aren’t politically active and just don’t give a shit, actual card-carrying liberals are likely a minority of the total population.
Sauron can’t just telepathically communicate with anyone he wants.
The only confirmed way to communicate across distances is via palantir. Maybe Sauron can do it with ringwraiths but that’s just my speculation.
The advantage of Visa/Mastercard is that they work anywhere.
Europeans are rich and like to travel all over the world, so they want their cards to work everywhere too. Or order stuff online from abroad. Why bother using some local payment processor that barely works if you can just use your Visa card?
Independent payment systems only work in countries that are poor (where people don’t travel or buy stuff from abroad) and/or isolated by sanctions or internal restrictions.
You will still need to go through the login page.
Many people are incapable of making any kind of plan. Now they are using ai to make all decisions for them (and I’m not exaggerating here).
