Have you ever been to the Tour de France? It’s totally impossible - they are racing 200-300km every day. People are showing up randomly everywhere, ten- or hundredthousand coming from every direction. They are kind of clearing the way by pushing through all team cars and the advertising convoi before the riders. But if somebody decides to stand in the way, there is nothing to prevent that

I have no interest in racing or anything UCI-related. But those rules are shaping bicycle design and stuff that is banned by the UCI will vanish from the market or be extremely expensive as it is totally niche. I would like to have some aero-attachements on my bike, but since they are banned, they are simply not available.

And let’s be clear: At a certain level money can buy you victory. Show up with an expensive, state-of-the-art bike at your local race and you will have an advantage. You still need to produce the watts, but if the UCI really wants fairness, they need to standardize on a road bike for everyone with the same components and stats.

You are totally correct. There are billions of people on this planet who are dreaming of such a life.

They scream like someone is murdering babies.

I’m sure those sociopaths at Google will like that.

That really expensive, will get more expensive and could totally buy a lot of solar & wind

As discussed below: She is free to leave. She doesn’t want to leave Israel. Now Israel is doing the whole due process to kick her out. So she will not spent her time in jail - this is totally senseless theatre.

There are no “Hauptgerichte” in Germany. So whatever you want to say, you seem to have no idea at all about german laws

He actually criticized the construction of Israeli settlements and called for more help for Gaza, but you won’t learn that when your news source contains of three sentences. And BTW: he didn’t deny palestines right to exist. He wants to recognize Palestine after successful negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians. You might want to start reading newspapers whose articles contain more than three sentences and maybe take back your racism accusation. It really is not helping

What a garbage article. They are giving a whole press conference with the visiting Israeli foreign minister and all we get posted here is from a swedish newpaper and contains three sentences. Three fucking sentences of ragebait - can we please post some more credible articles here?

I totally agree. Stuff like Microsoft recall is not great and America under Trump neither, but it is nothing compared to North Korea. That is a hellhole nobody who grew up in a free western society really can even imagine.

I guess that there are two issues: First of all, you can find someone who can slap standard Android onto a standard device. Finding someone who can work with a raw AOSP is harder and will be more expensive. Which is exactly what you want to not do when trying to build a really cheap device. And Google has started to move more and more services and security updates to their own platform. Using AOSP is a really bad idea

We’ll, that here is exactly the issue. I do a price comparison on multiple sites before buying something expensive and Amazon is in most cases the cheapest supplier. I suspect that it is due to those illegal price control mechanisms that force sellers to offer the cheapest price there.

And that is kind of a bad situation for everybody: You can post “Don’t use Amazon”, but it feels really stupid to pay more money for the same product from the same sellers on other platforms.

I know what you are saying, but it is not so bad: First of all, most things people are doing at work is not really related to the OS underneath. So if you are responsible for creating passports, you are using the special government program for passport creation. If you are a policeman, you are using the special police software to do your policework. Yeah, you need additional training, but in the best case your usual software keeps working. Most people are not really interacting with the OS during their work day.

(and let’s be honest: Microsofts totally insane UI changes are also requiring lots of training. If you are used to just click on some specific buttons that somebody told you to click on, you’re totally lost in Microsofts crazy wonderland of ridiculous UI changes )

There is a hint of how he did this here: https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2023/06/12000-comments/

Google hosting their shit on Microsofts servers and telling you to sideload and not using their own software distribution method for their own OS is kind of crazy if you think about it

You can read the post here: https://feddit.org/post/12529640

There is nothing there containing a one state solution and also german law totally doesn’t prohibit calling for it.

And BTW: You have a autocorrect error in your post: “leave” vs “live” can lead to people misunderstanding your point.

You really should read the original announcement of the feddit.org mods, because what you are saying is absolutely not what the rules there are.

Yeah, let’s insult other users based on their instance. That is really helpful, will bring peace to the middle east and make the fediverse the dominant social media network in the world.

The crit d’air itself is cheap - I recently ordered one and even with postage to Germany it was under 5€. It was also quite easy - go to a website, put in data from your car licence, pay via credit card, that’s it.

The big issue here is that they are kind of aggressive in weeding out older cars - you can’t get a crit d’air for cars older than 1997. That makes sense - those cars do not have modern emission tech and they are at least 28 years old. Some cities like Paris have even stricter rules and ban cars older than 2005.
