It certainly is a lot more ambiguous than absolute free speech, yes. I think your example would still count as hate speech inciting violence against black people. The Nazi one I'm not sure off the top of my head, to be honest.

You are free to express your opinions ("I don't like immigrants from Africa"), but you are not free to choose any manner of speech, as there's restrictions in certain areas, such as hate speech or inciting violence ("Kill the N-words!")

It removes the censor that is Musk.

That's why the conversation in Europe is usually about Freedom of Expression, not Speech.

Because he's a huge hypocrite and only uses the excuse of free speech to enable right wing radicals, while not granting it to anyone he disagrees with.

Was it free speech when he banned a bunch of leftists for disagreeing with his views?

Marx was right and people like Musk and Thiel are living proof.

Yup, it's the reason we shouldn't be shooting up Satellites for frivolous reasons like internet in the first place.

Oh nice, I'm already using HA and embedding LMS in an iframe. Might be worth a look. Have you used both? If so, how do they compare?

1) Put LMS (https://lyrion.org/) on your home server/a raspberry pi.

2) Get a bunch of raspberry pi zeros with a hifi hat.

3) Put picoreplayer (https://www.picoreplayer.org/) on them.

4) Use the material skin (https://github.com/CDrummond/lms-material) so it doesn't look like 1995.

Congrats, you now have your own, fully open source, sonos equivalent for multi-room synced audio. Supports all major streaming platforms as well as a local library.

Chaos Communication Congress is the one worth going to.

Sure. Do you see glassware not being in use at any point in the next 100 years though?

I would agree, which is why I specified :)

As a speaker of Viennese German and English, I have no problem understanding spoken Yiddish.

I used to run this modded distro of Windows2003 called "tiny2003". It was my favorite Windows experience.

Open markets != unregulated markets.

Sure. But every institution is elected one way or another.

We vote for the parliament, which was only like a week ago. Each country also votes for their government, at times specified by their constitutions. Those governments then form the Commission and the Council.

It's not about what Apple users want. It's about what the law requires.

The core raison d'etre for the EU is open markets. They'll do a lot to keep their fundamental core principle.

This is a fundamental misunderstanding which keeps causing trouble for US companies:

In European law, the letter of the law doesn't matter. The intent does.

It's called teleological interpretation, here's an EU document with a bit more background: https://www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes/BRIE/2017/5993...

Key quote:

> When interpreting EU law, the CJEU pays particular attention to the aim and purpose of EU law (teleological interpretation), rather than focusing exclusively on the wording of the provisions (linguistic interpretation). This is explained by numerous factors, in particular the open-ended and policy-oriented rules of the EU Treaties, as well as by EU legal multilingualism. Under the latter principle, all EU law is equally authentic in all language versions. Hence, the Court cannot rely on the wording of a single version, as a national court can, in order to give an interpretation of the legal provision under consideration. Therefore, in order to decode the meaning of a legal rule, the Court analyses it especially in the light of its purpose (teleological interpretation) as well as its context (systemic interpretation).

Facebook, too, tried rules-lawyering EU regulations only to be slapped with a huge fine. This shit doesn't fly here.

Ask Jack Ma what happens when Chinese CEOs fuck around.

This article does a good job talking about this: https://www.baldurbjarnason.com/2024/facing-reality-in-the-e...

Trillion dollar companies shouldn't exist in the first place. At that point, they are entities way too powerful to be in private, undemocratic hands.

I hope they make an example out of them. One can't even call their behavior "malicious compliance", "malicious noncompliance" is more fitting.

"Definitely-Won't-Go-Full-Skynet-AI" was another name in consideration.

> There is not gradient. If society is socialist then as per definition and as explained there must be authoritarianism to suppress any private initiative.

This logic works both ways. There is authoritarianism to enforce private ownership in capitalism. The police is a tool of the capitalist class, designed to suppress any protest against the capitalist system. It even extends internationally, to Imperialism. One only needs to think of banana republics, or more recently, Coca Cola murdering union leaders.

Of course it is. By voluntary association into socialist communes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarian_socialism
