I am paying 19 Euros for Netflix and 85 Euros (give or take for prime). This is getting ridiculous. Some time ago I have read an article on heise.de about privacy picking up again. This is why.

I love this. You can say what you want with everyone wearing airpods all the time but I think there is a lot less stigma with wearing them as opposed to hearing aids.
Plus hearing loss is a major risk factor for dementia. So this is big!

It's not about the movies themselves but for example with Bourne or the American, it's certain scenes that get me in a mood. A single professional or group doing his / its thing, it's kind of calming.
Feel free to suggest movies in a similar vain.
Learning about my own mind and how to tame it.
I've started realizing that I don't have much control over the external world, people or events, and only my perception of it can keep me sane or fix my mental issues.
This has effectively forced me to see my relationship with my devices with more scrutiny. I've repeatedly found that digital consumption, whether it is infotainment, knowledge, or mindless Reels or Shorts, has always led me to a more depressed and sad state.
A recent trip in the mountains without any cell reception even further confirmed this hypothesis for me personally.
I try to leave my devices and social media for longer durations, but the eventual FOMO and withdrawals that kick in always bring me back to square one of agony.
Events around a romantic interest recently also made me to rethink on how to effectively control emotions and feelings. The other person can do nothing wrong, but my mind can still feel tormented by their simple actions and events that unfold.
Unless I can achieve some sort of mental and emotional equanimity, I feel all my pursuits of learning and career would still not alleviate me from this joyless state of life.
That's a topic close to my heart as well. I found two books helpful:
- No Self, No Problem (Chris Niebauer) - Solve For Happy (Mow Gawdat)
> Events around a romantic interest recently also made me to rethink on how to effectively control emotions and feelings. The other person can do nothing wrong, but my mind can still feel tormented by their simple actions and events that unfold.
I struggle with this as well and in addition to the two books above I suggest you look into the works of Albert Ellis.

> Realistically this will only be enforceable if the application has enough users and there's a company that owns the application which can be sued.
In terms of the Chat Control this would be mandatory for all messaging apps. There is no exclusion in the law regarding the number of users.
> Something I will warn people of in advance is that if you're in the EU/UK people have been arrested for terrorism simply for their book and memorabilia collections. If you're suspected of terrorism (at least in the UK) you do not have a right to silence and this extends to being legally required to hand over passwords/keys for your devices.
IF CSS is in place, I don't think the US will sit idle on this, they will want the same capabilities so this issue with the content will be relevant whether you live in the UE/UK/US or Australia.
First they want access to the EU citizen's data.
Well, serves me right for clicking on anything with the name vim in it. Now I am making a point of reading the whole article.
The second part could also be the other way round. If there is easy access to CSAM maybe there will be less abuse. I could see either case be true, or that the availability of such material does not change incidence of abuse st all.
But having to train models on real materials is a major moral issue.

This is actually my opinion but I have no hard data on this. Is it feasible to apply the same logic as with video games where realistic killing is depicted and the argument is that this doesn't make people killers in real life?
Otherwise nice to see so many of the books i read this year mentioned. Except "Mein Kampf" of course, interesting top mention there. perhaps lots of people are reading it to understand the past? I'll need to see if it's worth it, I always considered it the equivalent of drinking water from the river thames to understand victorian england better.
