I disagree with the implication and outrage about it.
It seems like ragebait, just like “gen Z doesn’t want to work” crap.

Of course it is. It’s a job that doesn’t really exists, but gets advertised.
That’s not how this works, though.
These “jobs” are just a way to acquire talent. A larger company can almost always need a few more “good workers”. So if a really good candidate comes along, they’ll snatch that person, if the candidate is just okayish, they tell them someone else got the job.
No.
Interoperability is only required, if you have a significant market share. Apple does not have this in the EU. iMessage specifically doesn’t fall under this regulation, since hardly anyone uses it.
And since Apple plans to publish an SDK for their intelligence anyway, you can’t really regulate them for being too closed.
So either that’s a purely political retaliation, or their “super privacy friendly” services aren’t as privacy friendly as they claim.
Or, people simply don’t care anymore.
COVID became just another flu for most people, it’s been a big deal three or four years ago, today hardly anyone cares.
The “real” flu is also dangerous and the vaccine is available and has hardly any side effects, yet somehow barely anyone takes it.
Using the Rabbit R1 instead of generic ML was too obvious.
Hitler was inspired by the US exterminating it’s Native population and by the US reservation system.
Don’t act like being American gives you some unique perspective. Wow, that looks stupid, right?
There’s a clear difference between living in society and ruling that society.
Sure, but you’re implying that not being part of the ruling class absolves you from any guilt or responsibility. And that is literally what all Germans said after the war. What was I supposed to do?
And you’re living in a democracy.
Are you perhaps under the impression that all Americans in 1776 were Founders
Are you perhaps under the impression that us stupid Europeans don’t know what you’re talking about?
Comparing that to bystanders and voting and buying local and being complacent is absurd
Again, I’m German. I’ve heard that excuse before.
The Founders were among history’s monsters and you need to stop trying to protect their legacy by painting us with their brush. Chattel slavery was a uniquely horrible institution and its end mattered.
Dude, I’m German. I know a thing or two about facing the past. So don’t act like I’m defending anyone.
I didn’t choose to enslave anyone and I have no power to free them.
As far as I know, only about a third of people in the US back then ever owned slaves. The other two thirds didn’t choose that either. Yet most of them got complacent for a pretty long time.
Also, you do have a choice. You can buy clothes that are maybe not morally pure, but at least better. You could buy a Fairphone. You could become politically active or at least vote for the better candidates/parties. Sure, that won’t turn the world into utopia over night, but at least you can make it a bit better.
We all have to face the fact that our actions and inactions cause suffering, and some of that is indeed not in our power to change. But your stance of essentially giving up and pointing at the other crime as ever worse is hypocritical.
As Adorno said: there’s no right living in the wrong. And we are so wrong currently the slave population in this world is higher than ever in the US: https://www.un.org/en/delegate/50-million-people-modern-slavery-un-report
Of course it is. Today’s slaves get raped and tortured as well. Just not by us directly.
Essentially we outsourced the cruelty so we can live in blissful ignorance.
We do too.
We just call it outsourced labor and are happy about cheap clothes.
It’s fine, since we’re also stored in countless private databases for advertisement purposes, and statistically speaking at least one of those is so insecure, that it’s practically public knowledge anyway.
SSH, OpenSSL, LibreSSL, pf …
There’s not a single web server without some code from them. Every single phone, every Linux machine, and probably even Windows (citation needed) ships with some of these tools.
And you didn’t hear a thing, because the OpenBSD guys just sport a smug smile and don’t care about our plebian fame.
I don’t think it’s validation in the sense we normies felt. For regular, sane men it’s more of a fitting in and being desirable kind of validation, women do the same in that age.
For him and other powerful people (but also some regular men) it’s a power thing. Many powerful people are narcissists, and they live constantly under the dissonance of illusion of grandeur and inferiority complex. Essentially forcing their will onto others is a way to mitigate the latter.
Especially in terms of “legally not rape” charges, even the average man has to face terrifyingly few consequences. So many women report assaults, unwanted aggressive advances and “not exactly consensual kinds of intercourse” without the men ever facing anything serious, not even stigma. Banging blackout drunk girls is a sport for some people.
Truth is, it works often enough that they’ll keep trying.
Whether it’s fear, greed, or actual attraction doesn’t matter to them, in their world they scored a win.
The AI will take care of it.
No humans, no hunger.
The OpenBSD folks are a weird bunch. Literally the entire Internet is built on top of their tools and libraries, and they just ignore the fame and keep dwelling in their basements.
Club Mate. Not too sweet, loads of caffeine and looks cool.
Also, you can feel superior to the plebs that don’t understand the complex “wet ashtray” flavors.
I find it really weird that something as simple as the basic functionality of nextcloud seemingly can’t be implemented in a stable and lightweight manner.
Nextcloud always seems one update away from self destruction and it prepares for that by hoarding all the resources it can get. It never feels fast or responsive. I just want a way to share files between my machines.
There are other solutions, I know, but they’re all terrible in their own way.
