NH NL. Wanna hang out?

Why not bring your phone?

Your SIM/IMEI are tied to your ID. The police can visit you at home later. Details depend on the country.

Everyone was pissed

as someone who had worked in transparent jurisdictions: everyone should absolutely be pissed about not having this info available publicly always in real time.

MIT Technology Review got an exclusive preview of the research

The article was published 3 days after the arxiv release. How is this an "exclusive preview"?

Successfully tricking existing models by a few crafted samples doesn't seem like a significant achievement. Can someone highlight what exactly is interesting here? Anything that can't be resolved by routine adjustments to loss/evaluation functions?

They don't have to cover everything. Pirate Parties often ally with other parties that cover other specific problems, e.g. Piratenpartij & De Groenen ("Pirate Party" and "The Greens" alliance) in Netherlands, and they work well together.

This depends on your location. In many countries the ducks at the park are way more expensive than the ones you can get at the grocery.

huh

Is French just the most commonly spoken common language, even in Germany and Czechia?

No. This title is likely taken by Turkish.

Or is it something else?

Many phrases from European languages are common knowledge across Europe. I'm about to go grab some coffee. When I walk in to the coffee shop, I'm free to say "Hello" in one of 10+ languages and no one will think anything of it. Why would I do that? Maybe because I'm in the mood. Ciao!

This might be OK depending on your location and the government system in place. Voting for a single person that has to answer all questions sounds like UK or US to me.

Take a look at the Finnish or the Dutch parliament. 7, 8, 16 parties there? Independent (no-party) politicians too. Each one of them is free to represent people with specific needs and only focus on that.

Also keep in mind that some questions like "healthcare" and "welfare" may be less relevant too. It can be pretty much resolved (you can always promise to "increase doctors' wages by 30%!"). More specific issues remain.

There's some wisdom in the old soviet anecdote

There's freedom of speech in the USSR: In the USA, you can stand in front of the White House in Washington, DC, and yell, "Down with Ronald Reagan," and you will not be punished. Equally, you can also stand in Red Square in Moscow and yell, "Down with Ronald Reagan," and you will not be punished.

The Internet is still mostly connected, the law enforcement is not as much. Many businesses exist only because of this. You are free to host (produce, store, distribute) your content where it is legal and access it from where it is not. Access to foreign resources may eventually be outlawed or the access itself restricted. This is already the case in EU, Russia, China, etc. - but for now Internet is mostly connected.

If you have an iPhone you can go ahead and try Flight Mode right now. You'll see that it disconnects from WiFi and disables cellular. NFC, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi stay powered on, Bluetooth stays active. Yes, latest iOS has Bluetooth tracking protection on by default (varies by country, illegal in some), but it is not completely safe. I'm not sure about NFC and Wi-Fi. If you power the phone off it is unlikely to turn off the radios - they are needed for "find my iPhone" and similar features on Google and Samsung Galaxy phones.

Overall you can't be confident that your phone does not reveal your location and identity to "law enforcement", especially in places where police is well equipped to track you.

Maybe !venting@lemmy.ml or !vent@lemmy.world ? If it is relevant to your location then you could search for options on a local instance like feddit.uk.

iPhone clearly says it is findable after power off

the whole Internet

It will not affect the whole Internet. American-centered English-speaking "Internet" yes, but there's lots and lots of infrastructure and content elsewhere. Many Chinese-, Japanese-, Russian-, and German-centric resources exist almost independently from the rest of the world. Some of them are free to completely ignore the "bad internet bills", copyright, IP, GDPR, and any other regulation you can think of.

Highly depends on where the shop is based.

True. I have mostly lived in touristy and immigrant-friendly places, and I'm OK with people not seeing me as a local.

And they don’t need that, they can just arrest you

I run faster than cunts in riot gear. I wouldn't be typing this otherwise.

Several Dutch people told me that firearms are common on ships under the Dutch flag. Given the number of people owning sea-worthy vessels this might be interesting. Do you know anything about this?

Thou shalt roll back first, even if thou knowest not the root cause

and make everything so worse your angels won't dare ack the alert. Forget not about stateful systems!

only in English is the term Dutch used for the Netherlands

meanwhile in multiple slavic languages pretty much the same word (датчане, данцi, datčáne, ...) refers to Danes.

spelt how it’s pronounced though

I'm not sure you meant this as a joke but it is funny.

Learning yet another irregular pronunciation because some N-hundred years ago their majesty Shithead von Cunt wanted to sound fancy and everyone just played along is not funny.

cries, not knowing how to properly pronounce most English words

Monogamy has been essentially socially enforced for millenia

In some cultures only.

You can use !musicvideos@lemmy.world to refer to communities. This generates links to the community through the viewer's instance, like so: !musicvideos@lemmy.world .

people will still be like ‘wtf’ haha

People here (North Holland) are used to tourists and immigrants. A local could use "Hi", "Hallo", "Bonjour" or "Shalom" instead of Dutch-specific "Goeiemorgen"/other. If I say "Moin" or "Ciao" or "Hola", people will understand and sometimes reply appropriately, but likely continue in English not Dutch. It's something anyone would do for fun.

"hyvää huomenta" and "terve" on the other hand are not widely known to be a greeting. "tesekkuler" will not work as "merci". I don't do that.
