Time for the EU to seriously fine them and block them until full compliance.

For one or two images, I am true neutral. If it is a whole set, anything but lawful good would be stupid or Windows user level.

The cabinet of president Trump is not known for their skills with the subjects they deal with, but for their willingness to kiss his ass.

As being politically right is based mostly on ignoring facts, this sounds about right.

Move away from port 22, and 90% vanishes. Move it up to a port in the five digit range, and you will rarely see them.

Just wait until the Chinese cut off basic industrial inputs like chemicals, screws, nails, electronic parts.

I’m at Hetzner für 10-15 years now.

Dear Donald, just like you, Le Pen is a convicted criminal. But in contrast to the US, the EU has still a working justice that takes action against criminals like her. Yours, Europe

Bonus: It might make some companies move to non-US hosters, making their data way safer.

Maybe they should object to the reasons that made us buying European in the first place.

So this is how he tries to escape problems with his banks. Lets see how xAI is rated as collateral for his credits.

I did such a thing, but I had a big advantage: the codebase had been done by people who had never really learned to code, and I was a seasoned programmer with 20 years of experience.

I am against bringing back the old-style conscription here in Germany. First, it is limited to male youths only - a no-no in the 21st century. Second, it is designed as “military first, anything else second, and only with a good reason”, another idea that belongs to the past.

And, seriously. the German army could not deal with it. Since we halted conscription, the army has done a big and painful transformation into a professional military force, They could not house nor train those masses of unwashed kids anymore, and would basically have to regrow that part from the start.

What Germany could do is install a mandatory service time for all - men and women - with one option being the army, but with a strongly limited number of recruits.

Having worked in the field and having seen my fair share of supposedly “true” random numbers, I would really like to see how they would proof this bold claim.

You are either naive or new to this planet. If you tell industry that this or that thing is voluntary, it will definitely not happen. There must be thousands of examples out there. “Voluntary” regulation never worked on this planet.

If you want industry to do something, there is the stupid way of bribing them into it, and the smart way of simply forcing them to comply. If you do the latter, they will still squirm, complain, and demand money (loads of money!) to follow the law. If you forgot to define fines for non-compliance or made them too small, they won’t follow the law, either, of course, so the fines have to be painful enough so they can’t just file them away as “costs of doing business”.

I looked up what a “shape tool” is supposed to do. How about using better tools for this, like Inkscape, export as pixel file (png or whatever), and import it into GIMP?

I use GIMP only for the simple pixel stuff, and I hope they did not make basic operations even more complicated. I always struggle to get some basic things done just because there are myriads of for me useless and arcane settings.

My largest file transfer I have done via USB disk. You simply don’t transfer multiple terabytes over the net.

How about getting forced to go open source when they abandon a product?

Three times I have tried to get a grip on Blender, and have given up. You have to dig deep to put something on precise coordinates, and if you click something wrong, everything is fucked up with the UI without a way back. Documentation is random YT videos that all seem to assume that you already have a blender diploma.

With openscad, it took me half a day from installing the software, doing tutorials to finished design.
