Same as with your older bro's paper card. If you look similar on the picture, you might try. However, while I can imagine your older friend lending you a paper card he does not really need for an evening, I am not sure same friend will lend you a mobile phone he is going to miss even if only for the time you visit the club, plus letting you the possibility to play pranks like posting stupid things online or to his contacts in a dating service.

Sources on the internet say an OEM licence of Windows 11 is 20-40 €.

It depends what you include into "American auto manufacturers". Two thirds of the exports are foreign designs that are manufacture in factories located in the USA: BMW, Stellantis, Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, Huyndai, Kia, Nissan. Exports by car designers headquartered in the USA include Ford (7 G$), GM (5.5 G$), Tesla (4 G$) https://www.usimportdata.com/b...

While you're entirely right that I did not claim the migrants died in Morocco (I was referring to other dangerous routes), my news today also report 140 migrants died in Moroccan waters while attempting to reach Ceuta by swimming.

Those immigrants who enter Europe through Africa don't come on the premise that they get everything for free. They come on the premise that 1) anything is better than misery in their African hellhole, including rape and death that they have to expect on their way, and 2) if lucky enough, they'll be able to a hardworking, normal paying job like cleaning shitters in the airport or piling bricks, which will give them dignity, and even the ability to send a bit of money to their unfortunate family members who were too afraid to follow them.

On the graph, Finland is represented as 0%.

Just FYI, F-droid is actually a fork of Aptoide, the original decentralised open source app store, even named after Debian's package manager.

I also don't like how I sound. But my point here was not that the EU was better or worse. It is that: there are two apparently opposed points of view in this thread: 1. cameras are great, I can catch thieves; 2. cameras are bad, creeps post pictures of my family. That these are possible to conciliate given strong privacy laws; and that it is not an unreachable goal as such laws already exist elsewhere, and you could fight to have such laws in your area as well.

The situations you are describing concern damage on your property. The problems reported elsewhere in the thread is when cameras are filming the public space.

For information, the way this is solved in the EU is that laws (most recently through GDPR) makes it in principle illegal to surveil the public space. In principle, everyone should use the software (including the "Ring" app) and create blurred privacy areas that correspond to the areas outside of their properties. This is done at capture time, so nobody (the curious neighbour, the cloud storage operator, or the police), can access the initial images.

There is no police enforcement that people actually blur what they should; but if curious neighbours are stupid enough to post videos of that include other people's property, or of your family walking on the public street, you could get a court order and have their camera system removed.

cannot post videos on the net, or you drag them to local court and have their camera removed as there is evidence they're filoing
you just cannot post videos

The C2PA (Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity) standard is integrated into all high-end cameras already, starting by Sony since 2021; and in smartphones there is the Pixel 10.

It is irrelevant in the sense that the data entry mistake, or the Flock plate reading, are not race-related. Plate reader cameras efficiency do not depend on the skin colour of the user. It it was a face recognition system and the system was known to fail more often on certain skin tones, it would be different.

I don't know for the US but false plate readings by speeding cameras are a common thing. Or even wrong speed reading, sometimes in the news speeds physically impossible with the car involved. You just fight the fine, and win. These are not "false police report" but technical mistakes.

Another organisational difference is that policing in rest-of-the-world is handled nationally rather than by city. Local (municipal) police have limited powers. A number of countries don't give them arrest powers, a number of jurisdictions don't give them firearms (source: Municipal Policing in the European Union -- Comparative Perspectives https://link.springer.com/book...). When sworn officers in charge of all the serious business are selected, trained, and paid nationally, the training can be made more uniform in quality, and the budget issues mentioned by rsilvergun don't exist (the issue that cities wouldn't want to fire rogue officers due to the cost of training new ones).

1) If you're a prosecution or judge in charge of topic X, you issue warrants because it's your job. There's no reason to refuse preparing the paperwork or refusing signing it the topic is raised to your attention. Whether the warrant has a hope to be served is not your part of the problem. Justice systems everywhere issue warrants in hopeless cases, like against drug lords in hiding, or the ICC issuing a warrant against Putin.
2) It is not symbolic, it has consequences:
* Durov is persona non grata within Russia and Russia's friends; he can't visit his friends and family; he has to be very careful in which airport he gets his connections.
* Durov won't be able to seek asylum in Russia or Russia's friendly countries against the charges pushed by France. Effectively, Russia abandons Durov to potential jail time abroad.

It isn't EU wide. Wikipedia has a map. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
