The biggest, and stupidest, myth in European politics, particularly popular in France, is that Europe suffers the consequences of "austerity" and "neoliberalism". In the biggest 5 countries in Europe, more than half of the population makes its income from the state, less than half from the private sector. This is what makes the problem of reducing the welfare state so impossible: more than half of the voters are net recipients. No surprise that Italy's budget has not been balanced in 100 years, France's in 50 years (ooh la la, l'austérité!!):
-France: 30 million from the state versus 21m private sector workers. State spending is 57% of GDP, taxes more than half the economy. The budget hasn't been balanced in the lifetime of most French (since 1974).
- Germany: 35 million adults from the state, versus 34 million from the private sector. 10% of the population is registered as severely disabled. Public spending is over half of GDP. Germany has had a continuous budget deficit since 2019.
-Italy: 23 million from the state, versus 20.5 million private-sector workers. Public spending is 51% of GDP. Italy has had a budget deficit every year since 1925, for 100 years.
- Spain more people get their income from the state since 2024: 18.21 million from the public sector versus 17.9 million people working in the private sector. Since 2025, Spain also had more government employees than self-employed workers (autónomos) for the first time in history. State spending is at 45%, budget has not been balanced since 2007.
- UK: 54% of households now receive more in state benefits than they pay in taxes. State spending is 44.5% of GDP, taxes (40%) are at their highest since 1950, the budget hasn't been balanced since 2001, and 1 in 5 new cars is paid by the government through a bizarre state disability scheme (Motability).

Most domestic recycling efforts are empirically retarded, counterproductive, and require you don't value your time. Their real function is to fill the God-shaped hole, sized for penance, prayer, and sacrifice, in people's souls. https://t.co/T77DAx1eve

Je to desivé, ale prakticky všetky firmy, ktoré ma posledné týždne kontaktovali, boli firmy, ktoré nám ponúkali byť "compliant" s nejakou novou EÚ/štátnou reguláciou:

1. Kontaktovala ma firma, či posielame tovar v rámci EÚ, a nepotrebujeme pomôcť s novou "obalovou" reguláciou PPWR.

2. Kontaktovala ma ďalšia firma, či už máme dodávateľa e-Faktury a keď nie, môžeme to robiť cez nich.

3. Dlhodobo ma kontaktujú firmy, ktoré nám ponúkajú compliance s GDPR.

4. Sem-tam mi zavolajú firmy, či robíme "dohľad nad zdravím našich zamestnancov" (PZS).

5. Aj napriek tomu, že sme IT security firma, tak ma kvôli NIS2 kontaktujú firmy, či nechceme externého bezpečnostného manažéra.

6. Už mi volali konzultanti, či nepotrebujeme ESG / CSRD reporting (vykazovanie udržateľnosti).

7. Minulý týždeň sa nám ozvala ďalšia firma, či nepotrebujeme aktualizovať našu "transfer pricing" dokumentáciu, že boli nejaké zmeny v zákone.

Čo majú všetky tieto firmy a ich služby spoločné?

Ich biznis je postavený na nejakej štátnej regulácii, mimo Slovenska/EÚ by si ich služby nikto dobrovoľne neobjednal. Na Slovensku/EÚ musia, lebo to vyžaduje zákon.

Toto sa v ekonomickej teórii nazýva rent-seeking, kompletne nové biznis odvetvia bez vytvárania reálnej hodnoty, teda jediná reálna hodnota je byť v súlade s nejakou štátnou reguláciou.

Hovorí sa, že na Slovensku je celkové daňové zaťaženie 64%.

Dovolím si tvrdiť, že je ešte podstatne vyššie. Slovenské/EÚ firmy musia platiť za niečo, čo mimo EÚ nedáva žiadny zmysel a bez tlaku regulátora by si to tam nikto neobjednal.

Podľa mňa polovica nákladov, čo majú európske firmy, je náklad na compliance s nejakou európskou/štátnou reguláciou. A potom sa čudujeme, prečo nie sme konkurencieschopní so zvyškom sveta.

Keď sa nad tým zamyslíte, tak je to úplný brutal.

Podnikanie v EÚ je masochizmus.

I left the Netherlands because of this. I was exempted from the tax for the first 10 years I was there because I had special status as a "kenniswerker".
After that, like every other Dutch citizen, I was taxed on the value of my savings account. The amount they automatically sucked out of my account every year was about equal to half of my pre-tax income, making it financially infeasible to stay.
I could have spent the money on things, but if I did, I wouldn't have any savings. At the time, I was told the tax was designed to encourage spending.

Claude je v súlade s AI reguláciou a užívateľovi stačí nainštalovať tento skill, aby vyhodil vytváranie watermarkov a celé to obišiel.

Všetko je úplne v poriadku - európsky úradník je spokojný, že Anthropic splnil reguláciu a používateľ je šťastný, že jeho súkromie bolo ochranné.

EÚ AI legislatíva je na úrovni EÚ cookie law. Ultra chujovina, ktorú ide triviálne obísť a zaplatí to daňový poplatník.

[Pavol Lupták @wilderko]

Ursula, like other European politicians, is completely hallucinating about things that are utterly detached from reality. For example, that the over-regulated, ultra-taxed EU will be the first AI continent.

Why the EU won't be an "AI continent":

1. They postponed their own law before it even took effect. The Digital Omnibus pushed the AI Act's high-risk rules back 16 months to December 2027 – the "AI continent" couldn't even get its own bureaucracy ready for its own regulation.

2. Regulation came before the product. The EU wrote a comprehensive AI law before building a single frontier model. The US is building, China is building, Brussels is writing annexes.

3. Mistral is a generation behind OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and DeepSeek. Not a single European model is in the top tier of any benchmark. Aleph Alpha gave up back in 2024.

4. Chinese open-source models ignore the AI Act – with impunity. Enforceability against China is zero. Compliance costs fall only on European companies. Self-harm by law.

5. The capital is orders of magnitude elsewhere. €200B "mobilized" (of which the EU contributes only 50, the rest being non-binding pledges) vs. Stargate at ~$500B. Meta or Microsoft alone spend more per year than the entire European plan.

6. Electricity is 2–3× more expensive than in the US, and Germany shut down its nuclear plants. You won't win the AI race on subsidized wind turbines.

7. Zero homegrown hardware. The EU doesn't make GPUs. ASML makes lithography machines; the chips are baked elsewhere.

8. Talent is draining away. The best Europeans work at DeepMind and OpenAI – even Mistral's founders were trained there.

9. GDPR is already turning the EU into a periphery. Meta, OpenAI, and Google launch features in the EU late or not at all. A European = a second-class AI citizen.

10. The cherry on top: the European Parliament's AI chatbot blocked a question about how to get rid of von der Leyen – citing "security guidelines." The only thing European AI does reliably: protect politicians from criticism.

[Paul Walsh @Paul__Walsh]

Ursula von der Leyen has confirmed that everyone in the EU will need to use the EU's app for identity authentication before being able to access or post on social media websites.

🇪🇺 As an expert in online child safety, I am here to expose the misinformation and misdirection in von der Leyen's statements.

Today von der Leyen said:

"This is not about whether children can access social media, it is about whether social media can access our children".

💡The first part is true. This isn't about children. It's about surveillance and combating political dissent. A state that can't control its own citizens is more dangerous than a state rife with criminals. The second part is a PR soundbite that politicians are using like a campaign slogan straight out of 1984.

🇪🇺"The question is no longer if children face risks online, but what can we do to give children a safer start online".

💡No. You can't give children a "safer start" online any more than you can offline. In the offline world, the government doesn't enforce curfews or ban children from entering liquor stores, bars or restaurants. That's a parent's responsibility. The digital world should be no different.

🇪🇺"The age verification app is one of the tools to get it done".

💡This is a contradiction because she also said "It won't be foolproof".

🇪🇺"It's easy to use, it is privacy preserving and it is open source".

💡The app was compromised as soon as it was released. "Privacy-preserving" age verification is an oxymoron. You can't verify a person's age without verifying their identity. Where or how that age is shared afterwards is irrelevant.

🇪🇺"This is basically about putting back the power into the hands of parents".

💡More from 1984. The EU is doing the opposite. Parents are having their authority stripped by politicians who think they know better. Many parents are capable and unaffected by peer pressure, and they know how to use parental controls to block any app classified as 13+. Some teens are safe, their parents trust them, and the state has no business overruling that trust.

🇪🇺"We don't give our children keys to the car before they have their licence"

💡Comparing an app to a car is a false equivalence used to justify mass surveillance. Governments don't decide when a young person is ready for car keys, guardians do.

💡Forcing every adult and child into a biometric checkpoint just to use an app or website is not licensing drivers. It's the state seizing everyone's keys, locking the garage, and forcing every driver to ask a private company for permission to take a drive.

💡 This is a gross, unethical overreach that strips authority from parents while imposing state sanctioned identity verification on every adult who doesn't even have a child.

💡Additionally, people who pass a test, obtain a licence and drive a car aren't forced to use an app to constantly authenticate their suitability to drive.

🇪🇺"We do not let them buy alcohol until they are legally allowed"

💡False equivalence. We don't force every person to show ID at a shopping mall entrance just because a few people might buy alcohol with a meal at a restaurant. Some parents are okay with their 12 year-old going to the mall with friends while others aren't. Either way, it's their choice. Whatever irresponsible decisions some parents might make, every adult in the country shouldn't be forced to pay the price.

🇪🇺"It won't be foolproof"

💡This is all the proof we need to show that the EU and every government know that banning social media for teens won't protect them. When pressed by journalists about VPNs being used to circumvent a ban, politicians always state the ban isn't a silver bullet and will take time. The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan went as far as to say "we know it's not the solution".

💡Either age verification works, or it doesn't. As a technical expert in this space, I can tell you there are no additional steps to take and no progress to be made. Either the approach does what it is supposed to do, or it's not fit for purpose. If they claim a bulletproof solution is coming, it can only mean one thing. They intend to ban or restrict VPNs to people who verify their identity.

🇪🇺"It will take time to invite the cultural change that is already taking shape in our society, just as it took time to outlaw drink driving, just as it took time to use seatbelts in the cars. Great change never happens overnight, but when it comes to our safety it is always worth it".

💡Comparing a social media ban and age verification to seatbelts is a completely broken analogy. Seatbelts are a safety feature that protects children while allowing them to travel in a car. A ban doesn't give kids a seatbelt. It kicks them out of the car entirely.

💡Instead of supporting parents who want to guide their own children through the digital world, this heavy-handed law strips away parental authority by banning the apps and websites that many parents are perfectly fine with and actively monitor.

💡Furthermore, enforcing these bans requires biometric age verification, which means forcing millions of adult citizens to scan their IDs, faces or credit cards just to browse the internet. That isn't a common-sense traffic law.

💡It's a digital checkpoint on every street. True safety means teaching kids how to navigate the digital world safely with real guardrails and parental guidance, not burning down digital spaces for everyone under the guise of protection.

🇪🇺☠️ The EU wants to ban teens from social media so every person is forced to verify their identity before they can read, share or post anything online. In their words, this is to protect children from dangerous content.

🇪🇺☠️ The EU wants to enforce "Chat Control" so every app has to monitor everything people say privately inside it, including apps with end-to-end encryption. In their words, this is to protect children from dangerous criminals.

💡Where this ends

🇪🇺 "If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever".

George Orwell, 1984.

@INESSinstitute A zaroven je system nastaveny tak, ze treba vyplnat suhrnne vykazy aj ked DPH ani neplatis (napr. ak predavas sw v EU mimo SK, ale este si nedosiahol sumu na registraciu platcu dph). Cim viacej vykazov a statistik ma stat, tym lepsie :/

[@levelsio @levelsio]

🇪🇺 Chat Control has passed 😔

They can and will now legally scan any person's messages, emails and photos you send without a warrant

The way they passed this law when the majority of the European Parliament was against it will shock you:

They waited until most EP members were on holiday so only a few were present and then created an "urgent" vote for it to pass it through

There's nothing democratic about any of it and big powerful forces are behind this that can manipulate the EU for whatever they want

Democracy in Europe died a bit today 😔

@burkov I would not notice this that easily just by checking if it's "working".

[Roman Sisik @sisikro]

@burkov For example, in my audio processing app I needed to ensure that only lock-free sync mechanisms are used in audio processing thread. But even after specifying this, the ai still used a mutex in one part of the code.

[Roman Sisik @sisikro]

@burkov You could ask ai to generate automated test, but how can you trust these tests without either looking at the code, or testing everything manually again.

[Roman Sisik @sisikro]

@burkov Other issue I had is that it e.g. made my node.js fragile - it crashed after after dropped tcp connection. And I don't want to test these kind of things manually because the list of what to test becomes too large...
