Absolutely. Typically, the bigger the branding the more you pay for that and the less bang for buck you get. In second hand shopping I do often look at the brands though, because branded things are often better than no name items, but at the same price in that market (e.g. in kilo sales)
You mean wear something generic, unidentifiable and add some body armor?
I’m not fully convinced by the article either, especially the GDP figure they show. A decline in investments and employment is pretty bad though, although they don’t compare those numbers to other countries :/
Yep, that’s the direction I was thinking. The whole point of these cameras is to track people, including you, meaning that they can track everyone in the area before and after a camera is destroyed. It seems to me that the logical time to destroy a camera is when few other people are arround to stop/witness someone destroying a camera, but that also means there are few people to track and therefore it’s easier to single out whoever did it.
How would you take such a camera down without being spotted and tracked? Do they not look in all directions?
Not asking for all the technical details on how to take one down, just curious how so many can be taken down with so few arrests after. I guess it’s a matter of good disguises?
Apparently the threats are still sufficiently strong that the author dares not mention the company’s name :/
In a way I’m glad that at first the words matched the deeds even though they’re backpedalling now. Many people needed to hear those words to understand what it’s really like.
It seems to me that the main issue is that it’s hard to figure out how to vote in the elections you are eligible for.
The author states that he couldn’t vote [in the national elections] a single time when he lived in The Netherlands for 13 years, plenty of time to gain the nationality. Apparently there was no intention to immerse themselves so deeply in Dutch society while still wanting to have a say about what happens in said society…
I’m of the opinion that they’re right that it’s too hard to register for voting and figuring out all the different systems when moving. This should be more unified and simplified accross the EU. I also think it should be much easier for EU citizens to change nationality when moving to another EU country. However, we cannot ignore that the EU is not a federation, it consists of separate nations and nationality is much more than just a registration of where you live.
Why?
Not trying to be an ass, just curious about your reasoning
That’s good to know!
You’re only missing content if your instance defederates from another and vice versa or if you block instances yourself.
It might be a bit easier to find new communities at first by scrolling through the local feed on a bigger community, but you can also do this without making an account there.
I think stability and speed of an instance are better selection criteria since they effect your experience much more. Piefed instances tend to offer a smooth and fast experience. E.g. piefed.social, piefed.zip, and the others mentioned in one of the other comments.
The article says that it only applies to employees with access to sensitive data. I don’t know what fraction of employees does or does not have access to such data.
Not one or two, but seven are deemed a security threat…
I read that as a very polite ‘Fuck you, come apologize now!’
