Here in Romania we have a CNP (personal numeric code). It's assigned at birth and is explicitly a unique identifying number for each citizen. We must have a valid ID card with that number on us at all times.

LLM's aren't real AI

I think that's mostly a semantics issue. When people talk about AI here on Lemmy, they generally mean AGI. LLMs are not AGIs, as far as I understand it.

That boy needs therapy

Nope. On trial here in Romania still, not allowed to leave the country but otherwise free as long as he keeps his court dates.

As soon as the trial is over, he's on a plane to London as the UK wants him back. God knows why.

At least after the trial he won't be allowed back in the EU as he won't qualify for a visa.

Yup. Far better to do what they're doing now, which is going above and beyond what international law requires. It requires them to be given humanitarian aid and be allowed to move further into Russia if they want to. Where they're going extra is allowing any of them automatic asylum in Ukraine of they request it.

There are lots of people who will never update if asked to update at their leisure. I think it's far better for user security to have updates be forced by default, with the option to schedule them yourself.

anti-anything google

I hear that. Went through the technical reasons for the manifest V2 deprecation (if this is only to target ublock origin, why did they implement filter lists into the browser? Why does ublock origin lite work just fine?) and it got more downvotes than upvotes. Haters gonna hate I guess :))

This video does an ok job of it.

Even threatening them with that would be a tiny step in the right direction.

Tim Walz is a full-on union man though.

As funny as it is to imagine, you've got enough problems over there with for-profit prisons. Giving companies like McDonalds incentive to lobby for more arrests to get free labor from community service sentences would not be pretty.

While we're on the topic of EU initiatives, the tax the rich initiative still needs signatures. It aims to set a floor on tax rates for the very wealthy, and have member states use that new money for environment, employment and social policies.

They've hit the threshold for France and Germany, but still need more signatures everywhere else.
