Just like Iraq.
themurphy@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.ml•The EU smartphone repairability law will take effect on 20 June111·22 days agoEU actual laws vs headlines about non excisting laws. Refering to other threads.
Great for consumers once again.
themurphy@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.ml•From Word and Excel to LibreOffice: Danish ministry says goodbye to Microsoft26·28 days agoArticle says they also switch to Linux, which is kind of an even bigger deal!
themurphy@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.ml•My week with Linux: I'm dumping Windows for Ubuntu to see how it goes11·1 month agoI did. Saved an old PC with Ubuntu. Could probably optimise it even more with another distribution of Linux.
themurphy@lemmy.mlto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Germany's Sovereign Tech Agency will give €384,000 to the OpenStreetMap Project7·2 months agoFor sure. Their decision about OpenStreetMaps seems pretty wise.
themurphy@lemmy.mlto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Germany's Sovereign Tech Agency will give €384,000 to the OpenStreetMap Project66·2 months agoImagine if we end up a place, where this tarrif shitshow actually ends up with EU and the world being independent from big tech corps on Maps, Office (Word, Excel), Windows etc.
Sometimes all we need is a wake up call.
themurphy@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.ml•OpenAI wants to buy Chrome and make it an “AI-first” experience1·3 months agoI think you would assume OpenAI and Microsoft had the backing for doing it though.
themurphy@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.ml•‘No quick wins’: China has the world’s first operational thorium nuclear reactor151·3 months agoCant find anything in there thats worse than today tho.
The best news from this is that the EU is willing to go these ways. Incredible for consumers in the long run and to combat monopolies.
Yes, they could sponsor something else, but what we also really want are choices and competition.
themurphy@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.ml•‘No quick wins’: China has the world’s first operational thorium nuclear reactor413·3 months agoThe presidental candidate from a few years back, Andrew Yang, even championed thorium reactors in the US, and now here we are.
themurphy@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.ml•Revealed: Big tech’s new datacentres will take water from the world’s driest areas8·3 months agoPathetic.
In modern EU contries, the water going through data centers is hooked up to the central heating system, which means the central heating provides cold water, and in return they get hot water back from the data center.
This provides the houses with the warm water needed, and everyone benefits.
Instead the US is out here wasting massive ressources and achieves the same goal with alot of waste of money and a great environmental impact.
And now they also expand this stupidity to the rest of the world. Nice.
themurphy@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.ml•UK Orders Apple To Break Encryption Worldwide While World Is Distracted12·5 months agoThey could - UK being out of the EU gives them far less power.
Apple puts every decision into profits. Does breaking encryption do more damage than the profits of the UK market makes? If yes, they leave.
If this was an EU thing, the numbers would be entirely different, and they couldn’t just pull out. Now they might.
themurphy@lemmy.mlto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Do you know an open source TV app for Android TV so Google cannot push its shit?2·5 months agoMaybe I don’t know enough of this, but would it be possible to install Kodi and use that and it’s plugins for satellite? Plex also had this, and maybe Jellyfin is a good option?
In that way, you can show your satellite channels but in their interface.
Maybe that can do the trick?
themurphy@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.ml•Belgium to harness AI to find criminals with first dedicated minister2·5 months agoI don’t think it can backfire just because there’re rules. Backfire will be possible if a rule actually made it even more legit to use AI for this.
But it might end up changing nothing for some use cases.
And my understanding of EU bills is often that it will get reviewed and changed before it will go into voting again. In that way not only the proposer of the bill have something to say.
Still I agree with you - better than nothing and let’s hope it will get bulletproof.
themurphy@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.ml•Belgium to harness AI to find criminals with first dedicated minister4·5 months agoDidn’t the EU just made this illegal? Or what was the new AI bill about. Can’t find the article.
themurphy@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•USA: Do I still file federal taxes if the federal government collapses?13·5 months agoThey don’t have the manpower to go after everyone, but you never need to.
You make an example out of 1.000 people nation wide, and most people wouldn’t dare to not pay.
I was confusing the actual war with a later protest against China because of Tibet, happening maybe 10 years ago.
My mistake.
EDIT: Okay I know what happened now. Just found out that Google is displaying different boarders around the world to different regions. I’m pretty sure Tibet was on the map not many years ago, and now it’s not. But apparently, it’s only been like that in the western world.
What do you call Tibet then. I know they couldn’t fight back that much, but it’s a literal invasion.
Probably not, as its not free.
