Basically the mayor of Guben wants to introduce permanent controls on anyone who doesn't look German or Polish

Racial profiling

As well as being plain wrong, this IS NOT A SOLUTION

If there are asylum seekers that are not seeking asylum in Poland and trying to get to Germany, ask why, and seek to solve that

Oh and here's that very same border post at Guben just a week ago, my pic. Chaotic scenes I tell you. Chaotic!

🧵 Europeans are subject to something called the Bread Tax. It's when cultures do not adapt to technological progress. European bread goes bad in a day or two, whereas American bread is good for weeks. For this reason, Europeans are forced into dense housing to be near new bread.

@zephyrxero @SwiftOnSecurity It's not that we do not "consider" it, the sugar content makes it legally not bread according to EU rules. It's cake.

@BlippyTheWonderSlug @zephyrxero @SwiftOnSecurity Mostly a joke. In serious terms, one case that was tested in court was Subway's sandwich "bread" which got hit with higher VAT rate in EU as it contains too much sugar to qualify for low tax rate for bread. https://www.eater.com/2020/10/1/21496848/irish-supreme-court-rules-subway-bread-has-too-much-sugar-to-count-as-bread

Quite a few breads sold in US have really high sugar content. "American Toast Bread" sold in EU is usually adjusted to European tastes. Other additives can preserve modern factory bread for much longer.

@ygalanter Wait so you don't need to obfuscate the service name just the language detection? And then I guess the sentiment analysis gets started off a wrong bucket of something... This sounds so backwards done if they're trying to silence a particular word.

This is the start of the Day 07 thread

I’ll post the video and data as soon as I can, but the mobile network is patchy here in the train near Verviers

But I’m 😡🤬 this morning. Because of Deutsche Bahn, and then the German police…

@jon I used to commute on the Poznań-Berlin EC before the pandemic. There was a middle aged black businessesman (very nice suit, single laptop bag) I'd often see taking the same train. The police at Frankfurt (Oder) would ignore everyone else and check him, every single time. Even ignored rowdy/drunk passengers, always singling him out.

Poland has been Europe’s fastest-growing market for heat pumps for the last three years, a process further accelerated by the energy crisis resulting from Russia's war in Ukraine.

The country is also now becoming a major manufacturing hub for the devices, writes Alicja Ptak.

Why is it so hard to find out what the current pollen levels are in ?

No, I'm not looking for yet another reprint of the usual calendar. I actually want to roughly know the real pollen levels, or at last a rough estimate accounting for this year's weather.

@Wyatt @mgorny My spring (Western Poland) has been extra-rainy this year. Solar panels in March/April had literally half the production they did last year in the same period. So far, it's been good for my allergies, even though everything is blooming right now.

Lots of new signups today. Welcome everyone. It has me curious about the cause, though.

No, smartphones with chip don’t “secretly share private information with US chip-maker”. Here’s a good analysis of the lame marketing:

The author of the article has found that the device connects to izatcloud.net and instead of doing the logical thing and opening izatcloud.net in a browser they do a whois request and then figure out it’s from Qualcomm. They also proceed to contact Qualcomm lawyers instead of following the link on this page. The webpage hosted on this domain does conveniently explain who owns the domain and what it’s purpose is and it’s associated privacy policy. But that doesn’t sound nearly as spooky. The next section makes the claim that this traffic is HTTP traffic and is not encrypted. It proceeds to not show the contents of this HTTP request because it would show that it’s not at all interesting. It does not contain any private data. It’s just downloading an GPS almanac from Qualcomm for A-GPS.

@kravietz I do remember smartphones with GPS from before when A-GPS was a thing. If you were planning to use it for car navigation, and you're not in the same spot you were using GPS before, you better make sure the maps were running long before you'll need them.

Oh, and I had a photo camera with GPS. That thing, when turned on in a new place, needed the charging cable plugged in, or it would chew through half the battery just getting the initial GPS fix. It was a 2013 Pentax WG-3 GPS.
