I certainly agree that wealth brings more wealth (through corruption etc), but surely aren't they right in saying that successful businesses mean a wealthier state (through taxes)?
What is the purpose of needing to disclose their user count and legal residence? Does the DSA require any other disclosures?
Everyone has 1 vote. The influence of that 1 vote on your life is probably smaller than that of an affectionate relationship with that relative. Imo political confrontations are better kept for the street/pub/doorstep. The unspoken agreement not to touch on the topic must come from both sides though.
Actually you bring up an important point. I feel like any investment into shares makes you complicit. Is such thing as an ethical ETF possible? What do you do with money you want to invest instead?
Yep. I'm not in the gaming scene but perhaps getting some gaming YouTubers/streamers to mention it would help
Surely moving all the worlds factories into one country isn't a smart idea.
Growth has slowed down though :( It needs new sources of publicity
I'd love to do something like this for a job. How did they know that art like this would sell? The sceptic within me always dismisses this kinda stuff with the thought that nobody would pay for it.
Has anyone ever done an overnight cycle?
I wanna try doing this some day
(By overnight I mean set off in the evening (well rested) and cycle until the morning)

Opinion: robots with human likeness should be outlawed
Currently, talking to a face is the ultimate guarantee that you are communicating with a human (and on a subconscious level makes you try to relate, empathise, etc.). If humanoid robot technology eventually surpasses the Uncanny Valley, discovering that I'm talking to a humanoid with an LLM and that my intuitions had been betrayed would undermine the instinctive trust I give to the other party when I see a human face. This would degrade my social interactions across the board, because I'd live in constant suspicion that the humans I was talking to weren't actually human.
It is for this reason I think it should be the law that humanoid robots must be clearly differentiated from humans. Or at least that people should have the right to opt out from encountering realistic-looking humanoids.

Is it normal to feel tired of technological progress?
I've just been reading about how in the future, AI will allow us to speak with animals, and people will be able to communicate telepathically and live in their own VR worlds. (etc., etc.)
Man, this isn't a world I want to live in. I'm so tired of the constant paradigm shifting that you have to put your brain through with each innovation. I wish technology just stayed frozen in the 1980s – there would be so much less uncertainty in my life and I could just focus on being a human.
Innovation keeps being forced on you and I just feel tired. >!And I'm only just in my 20s!< Is this ok? Is this valid? When resisting it is a loser's game...
Quire should become the correct spelling for the word 'choir'.
It would be far more consistent with the pronunciation of other similar words.
Could someone please try installing this? I'd be really curious to see what Windows 7 on a Steam Deck would look like!

Why do I start feeling depressed when everything in life suddenly starts going my way?
Has anyone gotten this feeling before? For a long time my life was forced to go in a direction I didn't want it to but I had no choice but to passively accept and deal with where I was being lead. So I think it might be a learnt behavior. I know this isn't a relationship_advice thing but it feels relevant. (Fyi I am not a vulnerable girl being exploited, but perhaps advice applicable to them might help me too)
How much should I let dating potential influence where I live?
I grew up in (foreign) country A but then moved back to my home country (B) with my parents. I plan to move back to country A eventually because I feel 100% at home in the culture there, but am just a bit unsure about the timing. The problem is that I'd like to get into dating (I'm 21) and country A has a really low amount of people of my type, whereas the country I'm originally from (B) has plenty (but I only feel 70-80% at home here). So I'm thinking I might postpone my move back to country A where this won't really be possible until in a couple of years when I'm more happy to settle down. I wanted to ask you older folks if you think this is a wise idea.
