Musk has an affinity for figures like this, and he even had some interactions with this particular individual, who is less well-known. https://www.politico.eu/article/belgium-far-right-prodigy-dr... Musk tried to frame

The personal information is blacked out... and Elmo still seem to block people for 12 hours when you share the link.

What illegal actions? I did some research instead of blindly following our so-called genius who claims it's against Brazilian constitutional law because Starlink is a separate entity. It actually appears to be perfectly legal and in li

The ridiculously high prices of GPUs have really taken the fun out of hardware for me. I used to follow hardware developments closely, but now I upgrade much less often so that also stopped.

Is the issue that they don’t provide a platform to Nazis—sometimes literally Nazis or descendants of Nazi collaborators, as we see here in mainland Europe? I’ve seen him retweet a false narrative from a local known guy deep in the Blood, So

I can’t comment for other countries but here the local Elon shills are mostly supporters of parties that are sometimes literally descendants of nazi collaborators that see him as the freedom of speech king while celebrating the fact that yo

I think it’s an extreme version of Schadenfreude. Wasn’t that also something that came up in his biography that he is addicted to drama? To be honest I don’t think he believes this extreme right wing ideology but stirs the pot for his own t

I got the chills and it made me even a bit ill. Musk reminds me so much of my abusive father. He's the victim. The fact that his child doesn't want to have anything with him is not because of his actions but something external in

The fixed schedule is the case for most EU countries, in Belgium every 4 year we go out and vote. The only possible way to vote earlier is when a government falls and they write out new elections but that is extremely rare.

It helps me to code (or helped me with mathematical concepts that I find difficult to implement or would take me a lot of time) but then again I use it for generating mainly graphics related code in Blender or as part of a grasshopper scrip

I've noticed that when using a language model for rephrasing text it also sometimes seem to miss important details because it clearly has no real understanding of the text. It's not a problem when you are aware of it and with some

Don't know in the States but here in Europe I think it will hurt Tesla. The only ones that are really supporting Elon are the same people who deny climate change and are against EV cars, solar energy, batteries where they suddenly are

You should really read the book “How democracies die” for some insights and signals how it begins. Maybe it’s because I’m from Europe and there are numerous examples (Germany, Spain, Italy,…) how it starts, but there is no single bone in my

The situation in Europe is worsening rapidly, and it's not just in Greece—it's a trend across several countries. The rise of nationalist parties has increased the influence of corporate lobbies as well. Migrants frequently bear th

In Belgium, the "loonnormwet" or "wage norm law" controls how much workers are paid to ensure the country stays competitive. Jobs are also classified into pay scales based on their type and the qualifications needed. Thi

In Europe we don't have any alternative to go too for now. The day that I have a bluesky code or threads is available I will drop it in a heartbeat.

I don't think this has a lot to do with the open source spirit but the fact that competitors like Bambulab are eating their lunch. That seems to rub them the wrong way. I also see a lot of FUD from the Prusa community regarding that pa

There is a do not call me register here in Belgium. Not using this list and calling someone on the list, results in heavy fines.

I was under the impression he was talking about Saudi Arabia. Don’t know how this is in other countries but there seems to be a line with local mosques where they preach extremism and always get their funding from people within that country

I think I’ve read somewhere that Sir Dyson was pro Brexit because of strict EU regulations. They moved their HQ to Singapore so it’s certainly not about the UK.

I’ve read the title as “Google to reimplement curl in libcurl”. I only noticed the libcrul after reading the article so they certainly have a point that’s it’s very confusing.

Yeah there is just one problem... European companies are also getting fines when they don’t play by the rules. And in some cases very hefty fines... The whole “US taxing” argument is produced by people who would know how ridiculous that cla

You can easily find examples where you can replace China with the US. And now with the current American leadership I can't say personally that I trust the US more than China at this point.

In some cases the cheaper Aldi products is the same as the more expensive product from another store. When I was younger there was no difference between olé’s chocolate and Leo with the exception of the package. It was the same taste and fa
