Yes, the #EU has a lot of regulations.

But remember that thanks to those regulations you can use a single USB-C cable that can charge anything, rather than 10 different connectors and adapters as it was common until 10-15 years ago.

Remember that it’s thanks to those regulations if you no longer have to pay eye watering roaming fees for calls and data when you travel to other EU countries, as it was common until 5-10 years ago.

Remember that it’s thanks to those regulations if big tech has at least some constraints onto what it can do with your data and how much choice you have as a customer.

Remember that it’s thanks to those regulations if you, as a EU citizen, can benefit from the services of any other embassy of any other EU country if stranded abroad.

Those who try to depict the EU as a bureaucratic hell worth dismantling are those who hate the impact that its laws have on their freedom of exploiting markets, exploiting customers or living out of rent money.

Or those who hate the combined economic and political power of a united Europe with a single market because it threatens their national interests, and they’d rather exert their leverage with a bunch of divided and weaker countries instead.

Europe isn’t perfect and a lot can be improved. But those who call for its demise DO NOT talk in your interests.

So, not only did I recently code a whole-ass programming language using nothing more than Rust and ed(1), I just submitted a proposal (unrelated) to RustConf 2026 a full month before the deadline using no AI.

Its a well known fact that the 4 CPU architectures are x86-64, aarch64, riscv64, and s390x

Nobody has ever actually directly observed s390x but, like dark matter, we can infer its existence through compiler support

Duckduckgo has a survey for pro/anti-AI and I cackled so hard at the (current) results
