Sadly, this is already happening.

Re-reading your comment, yeah its obvious that that was what you meant. My apologies, that’s on me.

Reading that a letter in my alphabet is mostly obsolete feels really weird. No rebuttal, just a comment.

> It would never substitute æ for ae; that would misspell the word as much as substituting an o.

While that is correct, a lot of other systems actually do this exact substition. If your name contains æ it will be substituted with ae in passports, plane tickets and random other systems throughout your life.

My own username on this website is an example of a similar substition. The oe should be read as the single character ø.

Not for long, at least for the EU and I assume for us in the EEA. https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/boards-policy-regulat...

Sincerely, a Norwegian guy who thinks the difference is important.

Not my domain of expertise, but couldn't you at some point argue that the indexed content itself is an auditable file?

It's not literally a file necessarily, but if they contain enough information that they can be considered sensitive, then where is the significant difference?

I don't think I could enjoy working at a place where people didn't know the content of the commits they made. I remember the early talks of vibe coding being that you're not even supposed to look at the code, and have been very happy that I haven't met anyone professionally that codes like that.

I think this is good advice actually. We do allow LLM agents where I work, but you still need to understand every line of code that you write or generate. That’s probably why we still do physical interviews as well.

Edit: the flagged comment I replied to claimed that no EU country had free speech in their constitution. This is objectively wrong, and is why I wrote my comment.

I live in Norway, and even "serious" advertisers shows me alcohol and gambling advertisiments. This is strictly forbidden by norwegian law, yet I have seen multiple advertisements of this kind from Google, Facebook and Discovery. Discovery in particular has just recently agreed to follow the law for television broadcasts, to be fair.

GDPR is also violated a lot, especially by advertising corporations. I have never consented to the vast amount of tracking that I'm subjected to when browsing the internet, even though I have that right.

It's not like they are obligated to provide services to my country either. If european laws are too strict, they can always leave instead of violating our rights.
