> the existence of Right-Wing Extremists is simply denied.

It is called "democracy" nowadays.

> Each of these sanctions is sending a really strong signal to the world: "stop relying on anything US".

Funny that this thing happened _only_ after Trump came to power. US has been doing such things from some time but nobody noticed it. Nowadays it is even exporting this.

> Inflation is a few percent a year roughly

The official one. The reality is a bit worse. A trip to the supermarket was 50 Euros some years ago, now it is 150 - 200 50 Euros. That is not "a few percent".

Yes. They make their own processors.

> Car culture took over and has had it all on its own terms for long enough that it's become sociopathic.

Just like the other cultures: bike, e-scooter. But, as long as the plebes fight each other, everything is ok.

> Many essential tech services like ChatGPT, Gemini, Coursera, Udemy, Stripe and many others are still sadly unavailable to people in Syria

But this is a wonderfull thing. We really do not need this crap in EU, but here we are, trying to be "independent".

> better laws, limiting of church powers etc.

You do have to take into account the atmosphere who suffered through something like 5 wars this season. That's a bit hard to talk around.

Some people like to show off.

Oh no. The traffic in München is allready crap. Noone needs those selfstopping monsters.

> if maybe EU could do something about this.

If you pay them well. At least more than your competitors.

> 'Cookies' made from plastic may be on the menu for future astronauts

Svejk is back on WW3.

If you have the right compiler.

> Doing software development outside of strict containerization, at the very least, looks increasingly prone to disaster.

Because we shall all trust the Cargo/pip/npm repository that nobody cares about ?

> The BBC reported on it many many hours ago at the same time

And i bet that a lot of "Eastern European" "news outlets", which have nothing to do with it, reported it. Funny how propaganda works.

> How would Iranian propaganda even enter the British population

Haven't you heard ?They run the BBC, the Sky news, the Daily Mirror and the Sun. They also elect the parliament and the prime minister and send illegal imigrants to take the work of hard working citizens. /s

Soon ? They already did it. Together with <insert unfriendly country here>

> The simple truth right now is that China, Iran, and North Korea, are actively hacking out companies and infrastructure

You forgot Russia. /s Why do "companies and infrastructure" need to run "in a browser" ?

> Risk wise, it seems much safer to work on and around a damaged nuclear reactor

Statisticaly, maybe. But as the saying says: There are 3 types of lies: lies, damn lies and statistics.

"Of the 53,000 "at risk" workers a total of 17 cases of diseases such as solid cancer and leukemia had been recognized as work-related".

Without saying how many were not work related, it is just noise.

> Tesla was the first to make an EV that looked normal

Your definition of normal makes me suspicious. I thought GM were "the first to make an EV that looked normal". Tesla was the first to make a "software defined vehicle", 10 years before this became mainstream. Tesla is the Google of EVs: the UX sucks, but everybody wants to copy it.

> Ironically the most hated car features right now (speed limit warning and lane departure alerts) are designed by government.

That's what car manufacturers make you think. Who do you think it (paid) lobby for those features to be mandatory in new cars ?

> how many things go into it.

maybe how much bloat.

> What Happens When the Cost of Intelligence Drops 100x

Yes, what ? The "Cost of Intelligence" has risen due to AI. Earlier, we only had our mistakes to correct. Now we have also AI's mistakes to correct.

And nobody gives a shit. With some luck, the crows will survive the next nuclear war.

The point of AI is not "to win people's trust". Its purpose is to keep people's brain busy (just like social media) so that people do not start to look around and think.

and testing will be left to the users.

Some people have difficulties underestanding that a library downloaded at compile time from a random website might be compromised. Hey, we used https.

> The shock Soviet people were getting from Western supermarkets and department stores, etc.

I get this shocks everyday. I bought some apples to do a cake: they were tasteless and afer rubbing them they were mostly water. The rest of the fruits are mostly unriped. Watermellon is mostly water, with a water taste. Truly a shock

Just say no. Browser is for web browsing.

> Rivian’s software is pretty good. Often key fobs don’t work

So it is pretty good by 2026 standards. 10 years ago this would have been considered a failure, today it is a feature.
