The point is that it’s a loophole in privacy laws so they don’t have to outright tell people that they collect personal or identifying information. So they can legally mislead people by claiming it’s anonymous telemetry in hopes that users don’t actually look into it or understand the implications.

You shouldn’t get to participate in an international organization while murdering the aid workers employed by said organization.
This is just another attempt to destroy the UN.
Burh Israel literally, explicitly called for the UN to be destroyed, and named them a terrorist organization (and of course also played the antisemitic card).
Ad firm money.
Maybe I’m just cynical, but my first instinct when I see stuff like this is they have a secret contract with an advertiser and are selling this information.
Like if you’re going to use Arch btw, go all the way and use actual Arch.
Those are absolutely ways of covertly identifying your device while technically not counting as “personal information” under privacy laws.
It’s not fucking over Microsoft, it’s prevent Microsoft from fucking us over. Microsoft is not the victim in this.
Does Israel not see how similarly to Hitler they’re acting?
Or is that the point and their express intent is to perpetuate their very own holocaust against people they themselves deem the Untermensch?
I mean, I know the answer, but
Especially ironic considering they were horribly unreliable for long term data storage
Don’t be silly, the US doesn’t help people, that’s un-American commie shit.

It should also be noted that the biggest proponent of the idea that decolonization means turning the tables and just moving around the designations of first and second class citizens, is the colonizers themselves, because that’s the only reality they know. You see this in discussions regarding decolonization in the US/Canada as well, where white people think that somehow means Indigenous people are going to force them out of their houses and kidnap their children as some kind of revenge for white people doing those exact things to Indigenous peoples. That’s not what decolonization is, but colonizers keep insisting it is because they simply can’t think of it in any other terms, and/or they know full well that they’re lying and are deliberately building up a strawman against decolonization in hopes of preventing it from happening.
The EU should put their money where their mouth is and carve out a portion of their own territories into a Jewish state then (not US territory since that would only result in Indigenous land being further colonized). Instead of them insisting that the Jews need their own homeland on someone else’s land.
And why would he? The most powerful empire in the world is unconditionally enabling his genocide and punishes anyone else who doesn’t fall in line.
Headline: US warns Israel to boost humanitarian aid into Gaza or risk losing weapons funding
First line of the article: The Biden administration has warned Israel that it must increase the amount of humanitarian aid it is allowing into Gaza within the next 30 days or it could risk
The headline is intentionally making it seem like the US is asking Israel itself to provide aid to Gaza, no they’re just pretending to ask Israel to please stop preventing other people from trying to provide aid to Gaza.
Thanks Associated press, very cool.
Honestly it wouldn’t even be that hard to release full translated versions of existing programming languages. Like Python in Punjabi or Kotlin in Chinese or something (both of which already support unicode variable/class/function names). Just have a lookup table to redefine each keyword and standard library name to one in that language, it can literally just be an additional translation layer above the compiler/interpreter that converts the code to the original English version.
It’s honestly really surprising that non-English speakers have developed entirely new programming languages in their own language (unfortunately none of which are getting very widespread use even among speakers of that language), but the practice of simply translating a widely used and industry standard English programming language doesn’t seem to be much of a thing.
If I ever make my own programming language, I’m probably going to bake multi-language support into the compiler. Just supply it with a lookup table of translated terms and the code in that language.
Because it supports Unicode as variable/class/function names and Unicode includes all the characters humans have ever used, even dead languages (I assume for historians to digitize ancient texts?)
Can’t wait to have Google’s telemetry injected into my Linux apps
