So the findings of mentioned in the headline are from a report from consumer action groups, this has already been established by Dutch authorities earlier and they have been fined for this behaviour. But apparently continuing is still more profitable than changing their modus operandi, so now these consumer groups are preparing a massaclaim (class-action lawsuit)

Anyone from the Netherlands who booked a hotel room (also if you havent used booking.com, since their behaviour impacted the whole market) can sign-up to take part: https://www.consumentenbond.nl/acties-claims/claims/booking?icmp=kader_bookingclaim

Dutch law surrounding these class-action lawsuits limits payout of damagas to Dutch consumers unfortunately for everybody else.

European taxpayers would want to see a return in the form of job creation and defence industry development on European soil.

Include me as well, if we’re spending all that money on us tech I am not going to be happy about that.

You forget the option ‘choose to participate and try to push your city/country closer to the world you dream of’.

It must be on purpose right. Only thing i can think of is that there were enough studies done (opposed to in Belarus for example), but they contradicted each other.

Thanks for debunking this. The article also mentions “the active RAF involvement in the Genocide in Gaza”, do you think the RAF isn’t involved at all? Or just not with air-to-air refuelling tankers?

Palestine Action’s excellent act of resistance in vandalising this Hedge Fund Air Force has brought all of this to our attention. Which is yet a further reason to be grateful to Palestine Action.

Do you think the people behind that organization wrongly picked their target?

STOCKHOLM, June 26 (Reuters) - Tech lobbying group CCIA Europe, whose members include Alphabet, Meta, and Apple, on Thursday urged European Union to pause implementation of the AI Act, saying a rushed roll-out risks jeopardizing the continent’s AI aspirations.

Europe’s landmark AI rules entered into force in June last year with various provisions to be implemented in a phased manner.

Important provisions of the EU AI Act, including rules for general purpose AI (GPAI) models, were due to apply on August 2. But some parts of the GPAI, which were expected to be published on May 2, got delayed.

“With critical parts of the AI Act still missing just weeks before rules kick in, we need a pause to get the Act right, or risk stalling innovation altogether,” said Daniel Friedlaender, CCIA Europe’s senior vice president.

Political leaders such as Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson have also called, AI rules “confusing” and asked the EU to pause the Act, ahead of a meeting with other EU leaders in Brussels on Thursday.

More than two-thirds of European businesses said they struggle to understand their responsibilities under the EU AI Act, according to a survey by Amazon Web Services.

You are right, your indivudual chances of survival increase by not enlisting as a soldier. At the same time, our collective chances of survival (that includes your parents, children, etc) decrease when young people walk away from the fight.

Nothing i guess, but if they’re not exposed in the media they’re gonna contiue

He pointed to the expansion of the German Autobahn as one example where funding from Chinese or Saudi investors should be welcomed.

I’m sure they’ll be very interested if you ask there to be vehicle registration cameras too.

I don’t like his reasons to stop sending arms to isreal, but i do like he does it.

Vucic said that Serbia was the only country in Europe which had been exporting arms to Israel after the Hamas attack on October 7.

This if false though, many European countries have exported weapons to Israel last year.

This if from AP (American Press) about what China wants, this is not reporting on what EU wants:

Now, locked in a trade war with Washington that may be prolonged, Beijing sees the 27-nation bloc as a desirable partner in blunting the impact from Trump’s tariffs and to maintain its strong global position.

I do like how you are free to comment on anything without people caring whether you know them not, and i like how it’s not private communication but open for anyone to participate.

I feel your pain, also wanted to migrate to piefed but eventually didn’t (at least for now) because I like voyager better then interstellar.

The amount of shit Russia pulls without getting any kind repercussion truly astonishes me.

I remember reading articles that warned something like this would happen eventually, probably would’ve done myself if i were in Russia’s position.

I agree, I can’t imagine the economic bonus gained by productivity is big enough to pay the medical costs at the end of ones life. Back in 1950 people had just a few years of life left when they stopped working. Now a lot of people have 10, maybe 20, healthy years left and another 10 in ill-health. There clearly is either a lot of money for a few years or a little money for a lot of years. Although i also think the wealthy and the top, now get a bigger piece of the pie now.

Considering how big the ocean is I’d still consider them/it lost though.
