Meta accused of breaking EU digital law by charging for ad-free social networks
  • You pay with your privacy, which I believe isn't permitted (Don't quote me, I don't know anything). It's basically the same thing Meta is doing. If you could see the ads without the additional tracking (ie. generalized ads) that would be fine.

  • Drones trespassing in my property
  • If I remember the rules correctly you are allowed to fly over private property as long as it isn't fenced off. You cannot overfly buildings without permission. You can take pictures of private property without permission as long as they don't contain anything personally identifiable (ie. don't take pictures of people, but no people is fine).

  • What's the dumbest blockbuster movie you have seen that somehow received high praise?
  • I was so confused about the message... Ken went full patriarchy, but then demonstrated that it wasn't really that bad (also, no horses). So compared to barbieland the real world is absolutely paradise. Then they flip the full-on matriarchal barbieland to complete patriarchy, find that the women don't like that, do a bit of gender war and go mostly matriarchy because reasons. And than a bitter remark that women have it hard in the real world so men will have it hard in barbieland. It's all over the place.

    The weird pacing, jokes that fall flat and at one point goes all 3 stooges just left me feeling... Empty, afterwards. All that hype, all the people rooting for and against it, people complaining that it didn't win all the awards... I thought it was a vapid, low quality summer movie.

  • [Debat, Sjúrður Skaales tale fra Folketingets talerstol til afslutningsdebatten] Israel er Salman Rushdie blandt stater
  • Jeg er ikke særligt forfærdet over Israels handlinger fordi de er jøder, eller fordi de er demokratiske. Jeg er forfærdet fordi de bliver betragtet som et vestligt land, som får næsten uforbeholden støtte fra vestlige lande. Ja, Israels opførsel er sammenlignelig med den vi ser andre steder i Mellemøsten, fra lande vi absolut ikke ønsker at associere os med. Og netop derfor bør vi være særligt efter Israel.

    Hvis Israel skal fremstå som demokratiets vestlige lys i Mellemøsten, så er det ikke i orden at de opfører sig som de værste af deres naboer. De skal være et forbillede for dem. Vi skal stolte pege på dem og sige "en af os". Ikke komme med undskyldninger for deres opførsel.

    Angrebet på Israel var slet ikke i orden. Jihad mod jøder og Israel er ikke i orden. Israels handlinger siden - og før da, er heller ikke i orden.

    Hvad har Salman Rushdie gjort for at vække muslimernes vrede?

    Hvorfor er Hamas mon sure på Israel i 2023?

    Er det virkeligt fair at sammenligne de to situationer?

  • Daily Telescope: The most distant galaxy found so far is a total surprise
  • In some eye-opening new results, the telescope has found and confirmed the discovery of a very bright galaxy that existed just 300 million years after the Big Bang. Based on their observations, astronomers believe the galaxy is 1,600 light-years across and has a mass several hundreds of millions of times the mass of the Sun.

    “All of these observations, together, tell us that JADES-GS-z14-0 is not like the types of galaxies that have been predicted by theoretical models and computer simulations to exist in the very early universe," the astronomers said. "Its discovery has profound implications for the predicted number of bright galaxies we see in the early universe."

    I don't like click bait...

  • Pronouns
  • We had a temp receptionist called Joyce at my job. She said that at her old job they called her Mama J, and indicated that she would like to be called that here as well. I guess we were all assholes who defined her existence by calling her Joyce.

  • Code interviews for a PHP developer roles
  • Same, fizzbuzz was one of our tests. Nearly everyone messed it up. The telling part was how. We had a guy with 20 years of experience who demanded ample compensation write code that not only didn't compile, but it made little sense. A lot of people were pretty good bullshitters - then after the test they went "Yeah, well... That went bad huh?". We had a different, more difficult test that people could choose. We had one guy who did somewhat poorly on that... But asked to take the assignment home for his own sake. He was a very god hire. Not because he worked overtime or anything but because he cared.
