False equivalency comes often as response in these "AI" topics. This is good example of lazy mind, cognitive surrender.

Reminds me eurosky.social they have on page:

"For Europe, this is our chance to build competitive alternatives to Big Tech. But we need European-hosted infrastructure to make that possibility a reality."

Page is hosted in USA.

1. The are not going to investigate it. Totally legit right?

2. This regime likes to post deepfakes (even president himself).

Why do you have urge to defend these pedophiles?

If you think about impact, some of those companies have made on the world, it is rather dark.

I was probably not clear in my original comment. My point, in context of this thread, was that it is hosted in US-based company. So things like Cloud Act still apply.

> 1 bad politician elected by a fraction of the population is enough to turn the world against us. Why bother with such altruism when a single election can turn everyone against us?

I get your pain but are you expecting other countries just to take hit?

Should EU lift sanctions with Russia as well? You know "1 bad politician elected by a fraction of the population".

Legal one? Cloud Act is not compatible with GDPR.

They don't even know what is in the 'Greenland framework'.

The deal is not in favor of EU and its agriculture yet there are no farmers protesting like with other deals.

Not issue for me because I'm not into AI/Typescript/web that much. In my case it was easy. Rust people are on Fediverse/Mastodon and Bsky. You don't even need to have account in those places. They are accessible from open internet.
