What assertion? Hard to respond to you when you are entirely unspecific. Much of what I wrote were no assertions but simple facts. The US literally threatened to annex territory of a NATO ally for example.

I was being polemic. It is like saying Putin drinks the blood of young Russians. Yes, he doesn’t do that literally but he is sending them to the slaughter house just the same.

Believing Trump is a Russian controlled agent is, acknowledging that Trump is deeply corrupt and bribed by foreign dictatorship is not (not necessarily Russia, but in general). The bribing is happening out in the open for everyone to see. Also just judge Trump by his actions. US support for Ukraine has been scaled down dramatically and largely has been taken over by Europe. Not only that Trump tried to bully Europe into stopping the support as well. Of the stuff that is supposedly still going to Ukraine, much is actually in question. At the same time Trump pushed repeatedly for a “peace deal” that was almost word to word what Russia demanded from Ukraine.

Why Trump is doing that doesn’t really matter, there are plenty of reasons explaining that without him being a Russian agent.

That is false. The US followed a clearly different strategy before. Yes, it has slowly shifted indpendently from Trump but the outright hostility towards Europe does not serve any US interests. It is entirely self harming for the US. Not investing into European strategic assets is one thing, openly attacking Europe and threatening with annexation of territory of allied nations, making it clear by actions (not merely talking) that one considers Russia more of an ally than the EU, is an entirely different thing.

Only if you take that without a grain of salt. The “Krasnov” story is obviosly not trustworthy but it is obvious that the Trump administration is a lot friendlier towards Russia and a lot more hostile towards Europe as a whole and Ukraine in specific, than the previous administration. Doesn’t matter why Trump and his administration is doing that, the actions speak for themselves. Might be as simple as that Maga’s interests and those of Moscow just align on a lot of things.

If you operate that within the EU, you better know what you are doing, hope it never gets leaked, or don’t do half of what you are implying here.

And then Krasnov turned down Ukraine’s offer to help with modern drone warfare.

In the EU VoLTE seems to work with most providers but there are issues with some providers. I think the sailfish OS forum has a compatibility list. Not sure how the situation is in the US as, this does depend on providers.

I am not, i should have made it clearer above by saying “just a fine”

If multiple (or even countless) people die because of your grave negligence (which is the most benevolent way to look at it) I don’t think the appropriate judgement is a fine.

I think the legal questions should be fairly simple. The company selling the AI service should be liable for every error made and by that I mean all the way up to the management into the CEO’s office. Of course, that will never happen but it should happen.

Duckduckgo does not only source from Bing.They use sources from everyone but Google and they have their own web crawlers and an index of their own. Their results feel considerably more relevant to me than whatever Bing is doing. ’

In some cases I still feel like Google has an edge but those cases become less frequent.

Duckduckgo should not have any such issues. If you need that prefix you should not even need any cookies. Going there has all those no AI settings on by default. Regarding Ecosia, could it be that you deleted some related cookies accidentialy? Or did they really push in a very sleazy way for AI?

Don’t do evil

Hasn’t that been Google’s guiding principle for quite some time already?

That is not how it works in the EU. The Cybertruck has never been street legal here, for a reason.

I disapprove the Schadenfreude comments, but this is not merely a “vehicle most people don’t like”. It is a dangerous vehicle unnecessarily threatening health and even live of other members of the community, especially of children. There is a reason why it is not street legal in the EU.
