If they can't get it passed because the people don't want it, then why do they keep trying to pass it? Some entities with a lot of power or influence clearly want it. This is the same thing we see in the US. We keep saying "no", and they keep trying.

Maybe the EU people don't want it, but at least some governing body of the EU clearly does.

There's a comment not too far up in this thread saying this is more of a US thing than an EU thing, but it looks like exactly the same pattern from where I'm sitting in the US.

if you truly dig down it's the US and of all people Ashton Kutcher (https://mullvad.net/en/why-privacy-matters/going-dark) who are pushing this. So they can then point to the EU and say ”they do it so why not do it here?”

"Someone in the EU wants it" and "the EU wants it" are very different things.

Synecdoche. The EU governmental body is acting like it wants it.

And, again, that's not the EU.

Long haul trucking should be illegal or effectively eliminated by a carbon tax. Use trains for long hauls.

He even said the problem with trains is last mile. Last mile short haul trucks can be and are electric.

It's weird he laid the groundwork for this argument, but he isn't making this argument.

Fix the infrastructure issues that make transferring from rail to truck difficult. Yes, that's challenging and expensive. Guess what else is? The status quo, and the effects of climate change.

>you get to use a slightly worse form of Twitter

The protocol can support all sorts of other social networks. People are building things akin to instagram, tiktok, medium, allrecipies, etc

I'm building a place review system.

Is there an advantage to using this protocol instead of a more application–specific one? Perhaps the shared identity?

A few things. Shared identity is one of them. Another is that applications can understand each other's data and mix them together, if they wish, or keep them separate, if they wish. An instagram-like client can read the posts made by the microblogging client and re-use posts that include images, for example. Same goes with the social graph: re-use one from another application, or create your own.

Not true.

1. Plenty of living people defend the reputations of dead people.

2. There's no proof that anything we say or do has any impact on dead people.

Well, if you think of person as a bunch of ideas, maybe with a mind attached, then by attacking a dead person you're attacking a bunch of vulnerable ideas that no longer have a mind to defend them. You can still call it a person, if you like.

>You can still call it a person, if you like.

No thanks, because a person is not a group of ideas + a mind.

You didn't say what you mean, so I'll guess you mean souls, and you didn't say it because you're embarrassed.

Works fine for me with Firefox on Debian. Are you sure you don't have an extension breaking it?

Are ads a thing on meshtastic? If a node is spamming ads, would I have the ability to block it?

What about if you're walking or biking next to congested motorway and most of the vehicles have LiDAR running at the same time? That's a lot of photons.

Then maybe do something to reduce the causes if it? Recently, China has done more to reduce immigration to Europe than Europe has.

This concept is begging to be built on atproto or solid.
