@SturnioloSimone

I don’t think freedom of association and free trade would lead to the “disrepair”. On the contrary, the disrepair can usually be found in public spaces financed by force and the democracy that you so admire.

Why don’t you just answer my q, it wasn’t rhetorical.

I see. And do others get to disagree with your benevolent wisdom? Maybe they’re not as smart as you and don’t listen to reason. How far are you willing to go to punish them for their selfish ways?

Das haben sie sich wohl von der amerikanischen Senatorin @ewarren abgeguckt, die schön länger eine ‚one-cent wealth tax‘ will. Das ist allerdings gelogen, denn eigentlich will sie one percent. Allerdings cleveres Marketing.

‘In a hypothetical purely market-driven world, there’s a risk that not enough people would pay for the thing I want, so let’s force people to pay for it so that I’m guaranteed to get it.’ Isn’t that what you’re saying, in effect?

Been using ChatGPT as a personal mentor to teach me how to make video games.

I’d describe it as a useful idiot. It has no idea what it’s saying or why, and it makes mistakes a real mentor versed in game dev probably would not, but it’s definitely a net benefit.

EU politicians could have shown a little restraint and made only that recommendation: to use incognito windows and close them regularly. But they probably don’t even know what incognito windows are. (Or what cookies are. Or how tracking works, which doesn’t require cookies.)

@dchackethal · · Show · Open on Twitter

Browsers and plugins exist that remove cookie notices before they’re displayed.

If you’re worried about cookies, use only incognito windows and close them regularly.

Either way, improved tech renders these laws useless, as is so often the case. twitter.com/alecstapp/stat…
