this is even more solid argument under the GDPR
November 12, 2025 at 5:40 PM
you're also making a solid argument that they don't need to process your personal information via their app to accomplish any of the lawful basis available to them under the GDPR

meaning they have to accommodate your desire not to

yep, don't expect i ever will -- in fact i'm willing to extend that “they're irrational” to any right-wing voter
November 12, 2025 at 5:36 PM
yeah that guy's whole post at the bottom of the 4th image is very very special
November 12, 2025 at 5:33 PM
kashoggi'ed?

i think not, actually; i see this as a stronger effort by the righter-wing to push the douche aside

what i don't know is in favour of whom, because i don't think they want the furniture botherer either

i mean, it's not plausible that any folks ever had any doubt about him being a pædo when they voted for him the second time around

nothing like that if you're just trying to keep kids fed and successful in school ofc

so there's big diplomatic gates stopping debt from being issued -- unless there's obvious return on what that debt is gonna finance, say tolls on a new fancy motorway? clear costs, clear returns over a clear period of time
November 12, 2025 at 12:41 PM
there's a bit more to it, all shite:

governments finance themselves by issuing debt, which has to be serviced -- obvs any government can tax its citizens, so most governments find it easy to issue debt

enter the fucking Euro and the thrice-damned Germans, for whom others' debt is the original sin
November 12, 2025 at 12:39 PM
... like, there shouldn't be a distinction, and this is purely a process-is-daft adminstrative issue? good grief those folks are complete eejits

i think/hope we learnt the lesson here in Europe, and no further public bailout will happen; and that at a minimum we'll remember that austerity only deepens the problem

but i can't trust the Germans to not sell off the periphery again to safeguard their pensioners, like they did w/ us and Greece
November 12, 2025 at 12:25 PM
it was brutal for us because: a) someone convinced govs that austerity is needed [the IMF has since walked that back, let's forever shit on anything Lagarde says], and b) whole banks like Credit Agricole and DB were at risk, and their balance sheet was too big to bailout
November 12, 2025 at 12:23 PM
here in Europe the ECB had to print $5T euros, which is kinda interesting: the blowup factor was much tighter vs the USA

sadly the reasons were different: over here we had regular everyday banks pretending they were investment banks, and making big bets in the USA subprime market

i think it matters that you were able to run said bbs from your basement, and it was a useful thing

compare to the Facebook scale [once it wasn't “girls-at-harvard-i-want-to-bang.com”] that's not something that runs from your basement
November 12, 2025 at 12:18 PM
but back then the final cost for the USA was about $15T of money printed, to cover a hole of just under $1T

i don't understand the reasons for this 15x factor -- some of it maybe because central banks took time to respond, or didn't understand fully

maybe also a function of leverage; i dunno
November 12, 2025 at 12:14 PM
it's also weird how investors leverage up by issuing corporate bonds, again to big money funds, to then further invest into the bubble

igoing to be somewhat impactful: money-wise there's not yet too much money in it, vs mortgages in '08: that was almost $1T, AI bubble hasn't inflated that much yet
November 12, 2025 at 12:12 PM
i kinda oppose AI, definitely so in this current ownership format

i can't tell you what it will look like: the financial instrumentalism where everything becomes a security that pension funds can invest into turns these bets into something the government might need to backstop like in 2008-12

yeh, i'd guess all the alibaba and tencent AI scrapers -- congrats you know you've made it when DeepSeek wants to know about you ;)
