Do the immigration police in UK also murder their own citizens in broad daylight? What about incarceration (and falsely incarcerated) rates? What about general cases of police brutality? What about pedophile-run government where nobody ever gets arrested? What about a government that's bailing out known criminals for money? Or one that rug pulls its own citizens via crypto scams, phone scams, citizenship scams? USA i…

>What about pedophile-run government where nobody ever gets arrested? This is just complete nonsense. We are not run by pedophiles. Nobody is being arrested because the people you want arrested have committed no crimes. Being in the Epstein files doesn't make someone a pedophile.

Scandinavian law is commonly considered to be a subcategory of civil law. Judges in Scandinavia have investigative powers and can judge the truth of the matter.

>Scandinavian law is commonly considered to be a subcategory of civil law Their judiciaries are very different from how you describe civil law systems. >Judges in Scandinavia have investigative powers and can judge the truth of the matter. This is, at best, technically correct. While Judges in Nordic countries tend to technically have some limited investigative powers, it is extraordinarily unusual for them to be use…

Note that original discussion was discussing extraordinary unusual circumstances already.

This isn’t your average „my neighbor built a fence and damaged my tree“ case.

In such cases, the technical differences between fully adversarial common law systems and mixed-but-still-some-inquisitive-powers systems like the Nordic law matters.

And of course it is not exactly like Napoleonic law countries.

Also, the police still runs investigations, even in France. It’s just that the judges can choose to not believe the police. Famously, even if you sign a confession they can say they don’t believe it.

I don't like all the 'us against them' rhetoric going on. All that European alternatives talk is not much better than America first.

Most of the articles I read about this is about showing that going all-European is possible at all. If that feels like it’s an us vs. them thing, I’m not sure how I could change your mind.

Thanks. You don't need to convince me much. I was curious to post a more controversial comment. It's my specific perspective, we run a small hosting business: German company running on American infrastructure (AWS), serving a global customer base. This is much harder to defend these days. We really don't need 'US against them' or 'EU against them'. I am writing a blog post about it.

I'm using it Infomaniak, including their KDrive as a Dropbox replacement (with 2TB of data). I've even used their video conferencing app. No complaints so far. All seems to work just fine.

The infomaniak KDrive has also pretty great pricing and surprisingly great linux client (it even supports “online/offline” files.

Interesting, files on demand is something I'm missing a lot. I'm on BSD though :'( I'll check if it can be made to work (full support is too much to ask I'm sure but perhaps a port can be made).

European here. "Migrating to the EU" is serving a self-fulfilling delusion just as joining the so -called revolutionary forces after WW2 and moving to eastern Europe. The EU does everything to de-industrialize itself and protect its ground by using surveillance tools branded as "child protection" rules. Europeans don't have any tradition in thinking in freedom, in civil rights, in having a state that isn't there to s…

OK Grok, calm down.

I wish they had retained one awesome Thunderbird desktop feature on mobile as well - being able to set the "from" address on the go while composing the email, without having to add an identity/sender-mail in advance. Alas, it seems that hasn't been the case.

I don’t understand why this feature isn‘t more widespread, do people not use subaddressing?

Google has two products without competition: YouTube and Google Maps. Don't waste your time trying different map services. Everything else is super easy to switch to better alternatives, especially search, e-mail and browser.

> Google has two products without competition: YouTube and Google Maps. I've actually found great success in migrating to nothing from YouTube. Specifically I've found nothing to have a much less insidious algorithm, no shorts, no comment section, no upvotes or downvotes, no creepy Mr beast thumbnails, it's quite refreshing. If you still want cideos that are exclusively on YT, you can simply skip the website and acce…

Do you mean like in not watching any video or film at all? I'm not sure that this is the best option, since there is a lot of information which is better expressed by moving pictures than by text.

As for the algorithm, it is actually great if you take care to nudge it with subscriptions, likes and dislikes.

Organic Maps is great for offline. It even did better directions in Europe recently, because Google Maps does not have an "avoid unpaved roads" option. Apple Maps does driving directions way better in general - better visuals, speech etc. It does foreign pronunciations better too IIRC. It's even not bad as a PWA on Android ( https://maps.apple.com ). Google Maps loves to say take eg "exit Via Emilio Enrico" on some r…

Organic Maps is great for offline navigation, agreed. Also better than the rest for hiking trails. But it doesn't have anywhere near the features of Google Maps.

I wanted to like Apple Maps, but when you are traveling and actually need maps to find your way around, it's unusable. For example visiting some of the top cities in the world, and Apple Maps doesn't have public transport info. Or outdated business information.

HERE maps are unusable on mobile because of whacky two-finger zoom and pan algorithms which seem to be taken from a different decade.

I know it is late, but for anyone reading this now, as I am:

Mailbox.org is completely ignoring DMARC since months... And their handling of the issue IMHO is incompetent at best.

See this thread (in German) https://userforum.mailbox.org/topic/10676-mailbox-org-akzept...
