Possibly helpful to say which European country… It’s Northern Ireland.

on AI staff 'genuinely frightened' for humanity's future, ex-Anthropic researcher tells BBC in c/technology@lemmy.world · 5d ago
I’m going to take a guess that it prob worked once, then word got around he was exaggerating.

Yep. He haa mid terms coming up and polling is bad due to fuel prices being up from the war he started. Needs a distraction (doubt it will work)

on UK's 'dismal' Eurovision song choices to be examined by MPs in c/europe@feddit.org · 6d ago
Ta. So not even an MP. One of the geriatrics in the Lords being a waste of oxygen as usual.
My bad she is an MP but still a waste of space

on UK's 'dismal' Eurovision song choices to be examined by MPs in c/europe@feddit.org · 6d ago
Yeah, that’s true, but that would require the BBC exec in charge putting some effort in to make sure it’s an “okay ish but not great” entry, otherwise they risk accidentally winning it. Much easier to pick the worst act and slope off to the pub.

Has the MP questioning it (I couldnt see the name at a skim read of the article) considered that the BBC don’t WANT the UK to win it ? It would cost them money to host it that they don’t wish to allocate. That way they can spend more money on political shows featuring Reform and reality shows featuring girls from Essex with big boobs and no brains.
(I don’t pay for a TV licence any more for this reason anyway)

Add that to the long list of things he shouldn’t have done

on Italian tech collective to shut down after US terrorist designation in c/europe@feddit.org · 8 Sep 2026
Not sure how it’s stupid, banks have to follow the law. Yes it’s a stupid law, but that’s an issue for the national govt and the EU to address. The rule of law is one of the things that distinguishes us from the barbarians in the Trump admnistration.
What needs to be done is European withdrawal from these treaties. If the US wants to try sanctioning the entire western world it will get interesting.

The whole article was AI written, the headings the “voice” scream AI

But you didn’t access a BBS via an ISP, that’s one of the key differences. You dialled your modem directly into the BBS

BBS’s pre-date what we know as the internet - that is, commercially available interconnections via an ISP to a “wider web” of servers. Pedantically you can argue there is overlap with the period when only universities and a couple of tech companies were interconnected but calling that the internet is like calling a horse and buggy a car because it has wheels and carries passengers

on The Internet Is Kind of a Predatory Cesspit Now in c/technology@lemmy.world · 30 Aug 2026
Re-read what they said. They’re talking about modem dialup to a long distance number, so the phone call the modem made was long distance and hence charged at the higher rate.
It’s ok to not get it, this is pre internet and a very long time ago

on How often do y'all use a VPN? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml · 23 Aug 2026
Permanently on. Anything I can’t access without it I generally find an alternate with very few exceptions. I have a quarantine virtual machine I use for the couple of websites that are worth making an exception for.

on BMW’s in-car Spider-Man ad is a warning sign: we were promised a transport revolution, instead we got cars tracking us and serving us ads in c/technology@beehaw.org · 13 Aug 2026
LOL, someone in the BMW marketing dept just got wood reading that
Election is 3 years away, they’ll need to be doing it sooner than 2029 if they want to rely on Farage’s popularity being on the wane, history shows there will be a bounce back via billionaire funded propaganda and a compliant right wing press.
