I disagree about window 8. I quite liked it. I honestly think that it was a better OS than win 10, from an user point of view. But maybe I am biased, as I was using a laptop with a touchscreen at this time.

the moment I saw “Persona” n the verification page, I noped out.


yes, but did you consider that maybe, just maybe, that a lot less of these cubans would have fled to the US without the embargo ?


So it’s okay for the US to starve the Cubans to death since decades ?


Only if we count them as deaths caused by communism, of course.

Even if you ignore the dip, it’s hard to call the situation “an all time high”. But maybe you have other sources ?

Your source doesn’t include 2024


As long as one US employee of Amazon has access to this cloud, this cloud is not sovereign.


why would they have access?


Why wouldn’t they have access?!


About Notion, they do indeed support Mermaid, but their included version is quite obsolete and they don’t seems so eager to update it. A shame.


As far as I know, they do. That’s part of their consumer data protection act (didn’t remember the exact name).

Do you have any source for that ? it would n’a quite helpful, honestly.


The law you're thinking about is GDPR. It does allow to host data outside of the EU if the rights of the data subjects are not weakened.

Source: GDPR articles 44, 45, and 46.


The EU GDPR has requirements for processing (including storage) of personal data (much larger scope than US PII, but still nowhere near all data) in jurisdictions with legal adequacy for data protection.

It’s not quite data sovereignty like India’s regulations around payment transaction data but it does theoretically limit where you can store EU personal data.

You can find the current GDPR adequacy list at the EU’s EDPB site. https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/i...


If Elon and X thinks they cannot in good faith comply with the laws of a country in which X operate, they are right to leave it.

I personnaly see the attacks against the judiciary of Brazil more troublesome that this move.


> If Brazil's leaders are unwilling to allow a speech platform go uncensored, why not ban X?

Because it’s not black and white

> Should X have to comply with every country's censorship requests?

X must comply with the laws of every country it’s operate. If it cannot, or not willing to do it, it must leave it. That’s exactly what Elon have done

> Elon alleged that Moraes requested private user information as well. Should X hand over any and all user data that governments ask for ?

If it’s done legally, yes.

This take is quite bizarre, honestly, given how personal data protection laws are subpar in the US. Even from the government (remember patriot act).


I'm being critical of laws that allow governments to censor and invade privacy of their citizens. "If it's legal then it's okay" is a non-existent standard. By the same logic one would support stoning homosexuals to death in Iran (it's done legally!).

Additionally, do you think I'm in favor of the Patriot Act? Does its existence invalidate any belief I hold that privacy is important? Being subject to unjust laws motivates my beliefs, not undermines them.


If it's legal then you must comply to stay in the country is not the same as "if it's legal it's okay."
