Ursula von der Leyen really saw her Chat Control law get rejected twice and decided to force it through with an emergency vote 5 minutes before the summer break

Talk the talk about Democracy, but she definitely doesn't walk the walk.

Despicable person.

@Mike_McD5511 Why is everyone treating it like it's a disgrace or distancing themself from the present? It's a wonderful present, no matter if this is legal in your country or not. Be grateful, and don't slander it publicly even if you are required to decommission it and put it in a museum..

@jonathanzliu @Google Why did your automated monitoring not notify you that one of your critical backend service integrations went down?

🚫 CLAIM: Iranian state media claims that transit through the Strait of Hormuz is only permitted through routes designated by Iran.

✅ TRUTH: Iran does not control the Strait of Hormuz. Since early May, U.S. forces have helped facilitate the successful transit of more than 800 commercial vessels and 380 million barrels of crude oil through the vital international trade corridor.

@marcospereeira "env": {
"CLAUDE_AFK_TIMEOUT_MS": "2147483647"
}
Why this exact number: 2147483647 is the max 32-bit signed int and the ceiling for a JS timer delay. Going higher (e.g. a string of 9s) overflows and makes the timer fire immediately — the exact failure you're trying to avoid.

El Domingo ayudé a un policia a reducir a un loco por que lo estaba mordiendo fui y lo case del cuello hasta que se relajo y le pudimos poner los ganchos
Hoy vinieron 5 policias a felicitarme y me dieron estas tarjeta para que no me den tickets cuando maneje.
La vida es buena.

As someone who lives in Portugal which already stops every single package you get from outside EU with no exceptions for a decade or more:

I can tell you how this will go

From now on if you receive a package from outside EU, it'll first go missing for weeks and nobody will know where it is, then you'll receive an email from your country's customs agency

They'll make you login to some extremely unusable and outdated web portal which breaks half the time and where you have to classify your shipment in one of 10,000 confusing category codes

Depending on the category code you'll pay a different tax rate, sometimes it's 5% sometimes it's 60%

Then you have to pay the customs duty in some archaic way that will also be broken half the time

And then you'll finally receive your package from outside EU after months

Experiencing this for a few times you'll realize you will never ever try to order or receive anything from outside EU ever because the ordeal is too painful and expensive

I get asked a lot here by people from US to test out new products (like the guy who made the Minimal Phone) and it's just literally impossible for me to receive it even for testing. I tried to classify it as samples for testing but you need to go through a bureaucratic process of insane lengths to get that through so I just gave up

Realistically all this does is make Europeans live even more in the stone ages, as now they can't use modern AI, nor get modern products from outside EU because it'll be too much hassle to order

The scary part about Anthorpic's Fable nerf is not that it refuses to answer biology or cryptography. It's that it foreshadows what's coming. A world where a couple companies decide what you can and cannot do. They're building a new ruling class and you're not in it...
