Modern European democracy is indeed not immune to fascism (or something resembling it, to stave of a quibble of what actually fascism means). Most prominently Orban in Hungary. Poland was well on their way towards something similar, but luckily a major electoral defeat caused a reversal of this development.

Most European countries do have their own far-right parties (like Le Pen in France, AFD in Germany, etc.). But with multi-winner districts and lots of other parties, they struggle to gain anything resembling a majority that would enable them to rule by fiat. Also politics in most European countries is much more parliament driven, with the prime minister having a lot less power and more oversight than e.g. the US president.

To be fair, this doesn't really require these sorts of trillion euro unicorns to achieve, although it really is sad to see our industries be reliant on a regime that may turn hostile at the drop of a hat.

We need to do better, but it should probably be done in our own terms.
One of the best game I ever played is the text based souvenir game shopping game on Windows 3. I can't recall the name of the game now since it's more than 30 years ago, but it's about shopping souvenirs using London Underground Tube. You have a semi realistic time constraints like train schedules, your flight schedules and of course list of souvenirs items to shop. This is totally offline since there is no Internet available at the time but it's very engaging nonetheless.

My proposal for the modern version of the game is to use real-time train schedules (with delays, ticket discounts, etc) that are available publicly on the Internet for many metropolitan cities in the world for examples Tokyo, London and Berlin.

Imagine you can have a real-world realistic in-app in-game items purchases feature that you personally can buy in the game and delivered to you or anyone you fancy of giving souvenirs except that you only virtually went there.
> sentenced to seven months

Which he will do exactly 0 months because it's a suspended sentence. Still crazy but nowhere close to "7 months of prison for a meme"

PS: Didn't the US just deport people to a foreign prison because they had tattoos ?
You sound disgruntled.

You keep saying it won't work, but it does work, but it won't work, but it does work. Make up your mind.

What I take away from this is that you had a bad experience and you're now giving up on the only large scale social media platform powered by the people, for the people, and instead going to bsky which keeps promising federation but in fact requires way too many resources for regular people to federate with.

That's the issue, resources. Who are we expecting to host these nodes? The fedi had a low entrance threshold. But you can't federate every single message, that drastically increases the entrance threshold.

Fediverse is in fact just a bunch of individual message boards with some federation between them. You can find an instance that becomes your home, your family, but you can still follow people on other nodes, you can still respond to people on other nodes.
Maybe they forgot the word "more"? It makes sense to me:

"You could count the number of skilled electronics engineers on US soil, and [whatever that number may be] there's probably a million MORE in Shenzhen alone."
There were quite a few unicorns that (until now) quickly moved to establish a US foothold and hired some of their new C-levels there, because that's where the lobbying and money typically are.

Europe tends to have more established, "old" companies that do their own bit of innovation, and a few outliers like ASML that are crucial to many industries (besides silicon, there's pharma, media, retail, and of course a lot of manufacturing, each with their own innovation ecosystems, because many established companies have long figured out that it would be easier to sponsor local startups and then incorporate them than rebuild their orgs at random).
And Germany has taken its stance on Gaza to extreme levels, where publicly defending Palestine's right to exist can cause you to lose your visa. So yeah, things could be better in the free speech area.
They are still better than most US news outlet.
This is going to be the whataboutery Olympics, isn't it.

That particular case seems egregious, especially the jail part (edit: oh, it's a suspended sentence, so zero jail time). On the other hand a world where news organizations can just photoshop any sign onto any politician and claim they support whatever doesn't seem great either.

But neither does using ICE to snatch people off the streets for making social media posts. (Someone will reply to this with some variant of "oh, but they're immigrants, they don't deserve the freedom to criticize the US", and then we're back at the whataboutery Olympics)

Perhaps it's only worth getting worked up about free speech when the speech is true, authentic and accurate?

He claims it was poking fun. The court found differently.

> But the judge in the case said during the verdict that Bendels published a 'deliberately untrue and contemptuous statement about Interior Minister Ms. Faeser (...) that would not be recognizable to the unbiased reader and is likely to significantly impair her public work'.
Germany needs to amend their unfree speech laws , it's like a self-inflicted punishment now. The world is not asking for them to do that anymore

Simon, intelligence exists (and unintelligence exists). When you write «I'm not claiming LLMs can invent new computer science», you imply intelligence exists.

We can implement it. And it is somehow urgent, because intelligence is very desirable wealth - there is definite scarcity. It is even more urgent after the recent hype has made some people perversely confused about the idea of intelligence.

We can and must go well beyond the current state.
Regulations by state just brings regulatory capture. It is always the case in EU or US. Both are lost to China now.
Which is why you can often get away with this sort of bluster. But not when your own emails show that you yourselves considered that to be not the true number. You can report wonky metrics that don't measure anything real to your investors, but you can't report falsified ones.
I really like Crystal, but I am too dependent on LSPs and such for productivity, and the Crystal LSP leaves a lot to be desired, even though it is fantastic work for what it is.

Can't rely on AI either, as it constantly confuses it with Ruby.

I did do a few backend/server code challenges and advent code in Crystal. It worked really well and was very powerful.

I would love to write my MMO server in it, but again, tooling is still a sore spot for me.

GPUs reportedly will be immune to tariffs if assembly moves to Canada or Mexico, even if they incorporate Chinese components that would qualify for tariffs if directly imported into the U.S. for use in graphics card assembly:

https://semianalysis.com/2025/04/10/tariff-armageddon-gpu-lo...

If assembly moves to Canada or Mexico, their much lower tariffs on foreign components should apply, so their governments would have a share of GPU revenue from sales of GPUs in the US.

Finally, because the components will be tariffed if imported into the U.S. for assembly, the effect of U.S. tariffs makes it cheaper to build things in Mexico and Canada, which seems contrary to their purpose.

I am with you regarding the Amiga, I was the only one in the gang that had stuck wiht a 8 bit machine, and when time came to get a 16 bit one, got a 386 SX PC. Everyone else had an Amiga when they moved into 16 bit.

Thus I did spent endless afternoons on friends places playing Amiga games, trying to do Protracker music sessions, trying to get our spot into the demoscene coding.

As such there is a special place for the Amiga on my heart, but it isn't the 1988 to 1992 on my case, and the context that made the Amiga special is no longer here.

I will argue though that Apple's survival, and the thin razor margins, is the reason why OEMs have went back to vertical integration as differention factor why buy X instead of Y, even if the underlying OS core might be the same, which is why you end up with all those OEM specific distributions from Linux, Android and co.
> the west is lagging behind now. This is because the west has become socialist

The idea that the West is more socialist than Communist China, a one party state run by the Communist Party of China, just goes to show how completely useless ideological labelling is now. Just as "woke" has become a shorthand for "anything I don't like".

Yes, it was a bad example. But the underlying issue is very real, in that many important decisions are made with unanimous votes. Which puts the entire EU at the whims of any single country, which could even be compromised by Putin (cough Orban). More decisions should be moved to qualified majority voting.

Oh, and the EU should PRONTO implement the suggestions in the 2024 Draghi and Letta reports.

It doesn't, at least not for most lines. TfL's data is notoriously inconsistent, with multiple backends used for different purposes. For most lines, the dot matrix indicators are fed by the signalling system and timetables (more modern signaling systems are timetable-aware). Meanwhile, the online API relies on estimates from TfL's TrackerNet.

Quote after a question in a meeting with the EU I asked and I was taken aside + my mic was muted:

The laws are different: "Incitement and defamation laws are far broader in Germany than in the United States, with some European legislation on the books that forbids defaming leaders and makes Holocaust denial a crime.".

You are not allowed hate speech on the internet in a lot of countries. You will be prosecuted for that.

But different to other countries, in a majority of the european countries (turkey, greece are currently problematic) people are not deported, put in jail or camps and forgotten, even without a sentence and hearing.
The law is pretty clear. If there was the smallest indication it was satire, he wouldn't have been sentenced.
the thing about Europe is it's not very important. The perfect posture so that mid countries can look powerful in comparison.
That last paragraph is nicely stated. I’m going to borrow it.

All societies regulate speech. There is no such thing as free speech in the literal/absolute sense of the word. Probably every society has an instance that someone can point to as stifling speech. Your phrasing succinctly gets to the crux of the matter.

> Europe’s universities never became hotbeds of speech-policing by one breed of culture warrior or the other. You can express a controversial view on any European campus (outside Hungary, at least) without fear of losing your tenure or your grant.

Well, according to the Academic Freedom Index [1], there are 2 countries that have worse academic freedom than the US: Hungary (as mentioned) and Greece. The UK, Portugal, the Netherlands, Serbia and North Macedonia are broadly comparable.

> No detention centres await foreign students who hold the wrong views on Gaza.

In the UK, we do have terror legislation that allows us to detain journalists who talk about Gaza for 48 hours and confiscate their devices indefinitely (and no, we don't have free speech protections allowing us to not divulge passwords to these devices) [2].

The right wing propagandist who photoshopped "I hate free speech" over Nancy Faeser standing at a Holocaust memorial and holding a sign with the Text: "We remember"? I guess it is kinda important to not ignore the context of the edited image, especially since Germany for good reasons is not including the rights of holocaust deniers and Nazis in their free speech.

Quite a singular case and it sparked a huge controversy on free speech in Germany, with most scholars and officials siding with the sentiment that what David Bendels did was disguisting, but probably covered by free speech to some degree.

Compared to the free speech violations (and the seemingly inconsequencial nature of the discussions after they happened) this is still just a singular case.

Also, purely from a conceptual standpoint I do not think that a free society has to tolerate every opinion of people who objctively seek to abolish it. If you have a significant fascist movement in your country your speech will have become less free, so limiting their speech before they do is an act of defending democracy and everybody who believes in it.

Just replace Nazis/fascists with radical islamists and check how free your speech really is.
Exactly. The correct C for working with what may or may not be a valid file descriptor produces the same machine code as the Rust with Option<OwnedFd>. But, if you mess this up and forget to handle an invalid descriptor the C compiler has no idea and your bug goes unnoticed whereas the Rust won't compile because None isn't Some(OwnedFd).

It's a defamation case. Journalist David Bendels posted a doctored picture of politician Nancy Faeser holding up a sign saying, "Ich hasse die Meinungsfreiheit" ("I hate freedom of speech"). Faeser filed criminal charges against Bendels for "üble Nachrede und Verleumdung" (defamation).

Bendels was sentenced to a 7 months suspended sentence and a fine of 1500 Euros, has to remove the image and apologize to Faeser. Bendels will appeal the decision.

I'm going to guess that this will be overturned on appeal. Every country has stupid courts that make bad decisions. I think this is kind of an edge case between satire and defamation, since Bendels is ostensibly a real journalist who reports on real facts—it seems odd to me that he would publish doctored pictures. Still, I think this will lean towards satire in the end, since I don't think most reasonable people would assume the picture of Faeser was real.

You can read about it here (German):

He didn't post a meme, he posted a altered picture which made it look like the politician really said that.

That's called defamation.

Just because he later claimed it's satire doesn't make it satire.

Well, I believe it is fair for the host owner to decide what they serve or not.

If they think bot accounts, with the sole purpose to repeatedly display information that is available in any modern mobile phone, takes up unnecessary resources then.. Well, they have right to restrict them IMHO.
And why shouldn't incitement to racial hatred be illegal?
If a picture of Nancy Faeser holding a "I hate free speech" sign can be ruled to be a "deliberately untrue and contemptuous statement", satire has become effectively illegal.
I agree with the sentiment in general, but wrt China in particular, how socialist is it really? Yes, it's a one-party authoritarian state that calls itself communist, largely due to historical reasons. But the contemporary Chinese economy seems very much to be a market economy. Albeit one with a lot of state intervention typical of authoritarian regimes, but that doesn't make it socialist much less communist.

>Europe’s universities never became hotbeds of speech-policing by one breed of culture warrior or the other. You can express a controversial view on any European campus (outside Hungary, at least) without fear of losing your tenure or your grant.

This is just wrong. People have been fired for expressing opinions related to COVID, to ethnical tension, islamisation, and so on. Woke in Europe has a lag time of a few years, but the bohemian bourgeoisie is present in full force.

Not only is academic and intellectual freedom under threat, but the danger and persecutions are very very very very obviously being applied with massive political double standards. If you're on the left and you spout narratives that subsidized institutions and lobbying groups agree with, you won't get penalized. If you're on the right, a meme posted by someone else can get your rights suspended.
"sentenced to seven months for posting a meme", you're the one omitting words and implying things my dude
