There were good ideas at first but especially data protection features have already been scrapped. Also you need to buy into the Apple or Google ecosystem, no alternatives allowed. Especially funny if the next sentence contains some reference about independence...

I will not use it for anything privately as I neither trust the issuer, nor the notified bodies providing the infrastructure.

Our police accessed app data from Corona movement apps, it will do the same for any and all digital solutions the bureaucracy tries to sell. This is political problem we had for decades. Authorities aren't trustworthy, the legislative refuses to introduce strong privacy protection and instead tries to do the opposite. They even further enabled large platforms to scrap user data even more unhinged. To hell with them and with their shitty projects, I don't need a shitty content gatekeeper, even if you pay me.

Meanwhile, while people can vote for an inhibited parliament, it is far too removed from the average citizen that neither knows the people they are voting for, nor can they probably understand them.

VdL would have never been successful if people understood what she was saying or had said in the past. It is a democratic circus and a clear symptom.

This wouldn't solve any problems either, on the contrary. Personally I don't feel like a EU citizen. It is like being a citizen of a bureaucratic monster that serves no specific function. That tries to justify its existence not through being a guardian of common values, but a bureaucracy of not-quite-experts.

I genuinely wonder about people that feel patriotic about the EU. I have nothing against them, I just don't want to share the same house.

Orban was someone to point the finger to for what feels like decades. To see this result and extract a mission to extend EU powers is delusional in my opinion.

Medicine are usually ridicule and it is fairly needed in the climate of modern society.

To hell with it and then some. Also to ignore uncertainty means you will be wrong. There is no "perhaps" or "likely" here.

But yes, if they would own it, a right to repair would be very welcomed...

If you see a modern tractor on the streets next to a Ferrari, the tractor is probably the more luxurious and expensive vehicle.

There is a cost though, the context switches of topics aren't free. But if I need to visualise a something, I let an LLM create a page. If I have two tables of data that needs to be joined/mapped, I let an LLM do the first shot, often that is enough.

I cannot even hope to reach that speed. It isn't a magic tool, but it really accelerates some task.

That speed allows for in-house solutions to become viable again, software that really adapts specific business processes instead of some wonky ERP package that never really fit what you were trying to do.

I have our dbs schema checked into a Gitea repository, which our AIs can just access to quickly ingest schema definitions. If data safety is an issue, use a local model. It is extremely beneficial if you quickly can establish context and let your AI deal with real problems. And it is quite good at that.

You can also roll you own encryption if you are not stupid and naive. Probably a question of self-reflection.

The "urgency" is very likely mostly appreciated to drive policy.

Also they too often remove features of their products and I have no desire to migrate working stuff because MS wants to move people to other products.

And these tend to be worse in recent times. Exemplary for that is PowerAutomate for me. Theoretically a neat tool that is well integrated into the cloud landscape. Practically you cannot implement reliable workflows with it because of numerous reasons.

> If you’re running production workloads on Azure or relying on it for mission-critical systems, this story matters more than you think.

Well, it doesn't explode, but I really question how reliable some of these systems really are. In my experience, not at all. There was or is some genuinely good engineering below some of these systems, but I think all the buggy fluff build upon it really introduces friction.

I still don't want to listen to it most of the time. I think in my youth it would have seriously prohibited me from learning an instrument and playing music myself. Today I would skip that and use AI to generate music. What yesterday was playing music yourself and the strange test version of Audio Logic you found on the internet would today certainly just be the next common AI generator.
