I understood the general meaning, and for the rest we have Google translate =)

No, it’s another distinction. Three different things. Something legal can be moral or not. Something made law can be legal or not. For example, if it’s forced in some way so that formally you couldn’t prevent it becoming law, but it’s still illegal, it’s still illegal.

Which is, other than copyright except for protecting the fact of authorship, why all censorship and surveillance is illegal, and, say, why Armenia legally includes Van, Erzurum, Nakhijevan etc, and the fact that Wilson’s mediation and French mandate have been buried by force just means that Cilicia and Melitene are as well.

Restoring law and order takes effort, though.

Yep, I was thinking that maybe plural may have ä

Isn’t it Kommentärsektion? Not a German, so just asking

There are people who think that something being official law is automatically legal. It’s a bit inconvenient that Nazi Germany is the first example that comes to mind to explain why they are wrong.

What you are describing would mean they are very stupid in the exact thing which is supposed to be their strong side.

It’s just corruption. Politicians have long learned that to appear stupid is advantageous - plebes don’t get alarmed when they see something wrong, but can explain it by stupidity, and they also don’t insist on rolling it back.

These people are vermin. The best thing Germans can do for their future is to interrogate meticulously, investigate and jail for life all of the German politicians who’ve touched power in the last 20 years, with death sentences postponed by 20 years, and maybe also check their family members. The second best thing would be a good French 60s’ style revolution, which would likely lead to the same anyway, because what’s secret would no longer be that.

Similar for many other European countries.

No, I’m not fascist, actually kinda anarchist (more ancap than ancom, but tolerant to the latter).

They meant backdoors hidden in plain sight, so making it readable, but (EDIT: seemingly) innocent. People do that.

I don’t get it, what you are describing is bad for the bottom line too. If we don’t mean that of Scholz’s personal finances, of course.

It’s possible and not so hard, just too boring for people to do automatically (EDIT: I meant - as part of usual work), and also bureaucrats have a very different MO, one that you need a commercial company infected by that culture for.

Also governments steal money. It’s obvious they do. Both in legal ways, when some secretary has salary disproportional to the work they are doing and the need for it at all, and in illegal ones (just for the fun of it).

It’s about power and dealing with people of their culture.

The state is interested in less dependence from big corps, but its officials are interested in more dependence, because that means huge contracts with little transparency and lots of time to hide things that don’t look nice.

What’s the funniest (and saddest) is when people who are supposedly against private discrimination repeat this when it fits them.

Sometimes they do.

But usually yes, people who become Nazis (or similar) are not very inventive, not very creative, don’t have sense of humor and consider themselves (and some majority they imagine) incapable of those, and those capable - weirdos\geniuses\miracles and such.

Which is why their instruments of choice are violence and scams - they think they can’t do anything else. This also excludes really brave people who consider themselves incapable - because a brave person doesn’t have to believe in having some talent to try again and again.

It’s sad really. But at the same time inspiring, since it means that the better we can educate people (or at least teach them bravery, and bravery can be taught) and the more opportunities for development we give them, the fewer Nazis (or similar) there will be.

Closeted Furries will be presented to the world for the degenerate perverts they are

Dunno, this seems like he’s having fun too, just not clearly enough.

Or maybe it’s really that bad.

Well, maybe not exactly “hacked”, is that what they mean?

If only all these companies were so eager to censor Azeri posts calling Armenia “Western Azerbaijan”, doing genocide denial or right away calls to murder.

But “dehumanizing” group murdering people in droves right now is bad, because it may or may not intersect with an ethno-cultural group.

It won’t be too long till Hezbollah are my heroes. I may even become more tolerant to Marxism at some point ; one Marxist sci-fi book, which seemed either naive or hidden critique of USSR itself, now seems to be a pretty good description of our world.

These things having a clearly visible and usable button to ask for a human should be mandated by law.

Also have you tried writing “operator” to it? That may work. Sometimes.

It’s also similar to scammers. When you are not quite certain if you’ve been scammed, you’ll first ask. There’s a percentage of cases where you won’t bother for the sum, because you’ve used the energy on pinging them.

While in case of companies you could have used that energy to, say, post “X is crap” somewhere in the Web.

Negative number.

Most Zionist Jews I’ve met have become interested in their identity only because of Israel. Thoroughly assimilated before that. Not even one or two family Yiddish phrases for fitting situations (like az okh n vey or something).

Usually carriers of their home’s typical understanding of nationalism, only adapted for Israel. Cause at home it’s kinda frowned upon usually, while for Israel it’s something different, “allowed”, and they get to feel themselves better, of some different blood.

People are conditioned by Windows to treat it as normal that they are using something developed by a hostile entity, but that entity is kinda benevolent and doesn’t do … what it can always do and no one will notice for a few months or years.

I switched to Linux being 16, so - still sufficiently maximalist to just believe that it shouldn’t be this way at all. (Still I have Chromium installed and sometimes use it, so same situation as everyone.)

For sane adult people it’s hard to just say no to unhygienic parts of tech, at least in their own mind, because IRL of course you can’t get rid of everything bad.

Many people sincerely believe rules are a big thing and such organizations don’t violate those regularly. Even in the EU. Even when nobody will know.
