I don't think there's anything like ratsit in Norway which would let you do this query anonymously.

Because tax is not your bill from 'government Corp ', its your contribution to the community, to your tribe. And we have explicit goals for this, besides bringing revenue (like the strongest back should carry the heaviest burden).

When we have communal contributions in other settings, your contribution is usually not a secret.

It is meant to give the tax system more legitimacy, that you don't gave to wonder if people sneak out of their contribution, you can check. It also leads to yearly debates about the tax system as the list of the richest(usually inherited) is published together with what they pay in income tax vs wealth tax.

Previously you could check up anyone anonymous. These days you have to log inn, and they get a notification. But the list of the richest and their tax contribution gets published in the newspaper.

This has also the effect of fueling envy, and allows employers to discriminate you if they see that you have side income (or if you don't). Why make all of this fuss about RGPD if private data is in the open?

And why not include medical data as well? The "tribe" has the right to know how much each one costs, right?

Thats not at all a leason I learned during my years with game theory. It sounds like a life-lesson completely orthogonal to game-theory.

And wrong I must add, ignoring people who have made an actuall change in the world (although its true that most people end up making very little difference either way).

Its not in their DNA, the don't get that large by making that kind of decisions.

If only any of their former leaders and one of the most famous people ever had said something like "If you don't cannibalize yourself, someone else will"...

Well maybe that kind of company would've been aggressive about always being competitive, yeah? Instead of whatever Tim Cook is doing...

(I agree with your comment. To add). Fairphone can be gotten with stock Android, but also "/e/OS", which is a fork of LineageOS, and presents itself as both more privacy focused and de-googled than stock Android.

So it also comes down to what kind of OS you want. I find SailfishOS interesting, but I also really like the hardware of the Fairphone.

Honestly, Openzl looks even cooler! It would be cool to have it integrated with parquet and avro encoders. If I understand correctly the compressed files should be decompressable with standard tools.

Given the outcome in Venezuela (and Trumps relationships with dictators in generally), it don't seem like that is something Trump necessarily sees as a bad outcome. As long as the dictatorship trades oil and let some American companies in, they can be as dictatorial as they want.

From the english letter:

To achieve a better digital world, where technology works for people rather than against them, several steps must be taken:

1. Rebalance power between service providers and consumers. People should be allowed to control their digital experiences and decide how they want to use products that they own. It should be possible and practical to switch to alternative service providers, or tweak services they already use to suit their needs and preferences.

2. Tackle dependency on Big Tech. To lay the groundwork for innovative products and services and pave the way for alternatives to Big Tech, competition in digital markets must be restored. Technology based on principles such as openness, interoperability and portability must be advanced through strategic investments. For example, the public sector should leverage its power as a major procurer to support alternatives to big tech through exploring options for ethical procurement of technology services.

3. Double down on the enforcement of existing laws. Far from hindering innovation, regulations provide crucial guardrails to guide innovation and ensure a level playing field. Weak enforcement allows big tech to continue its damaging practices at the cost of freedom of choice, service quality, and innovation. To remedy this, enforcement of existing laws must be strong and vigorous. This includes the DMA and competition laws more broadly, but also other digital rules such as the GDPR and consumer law.

4. Close the existing legal loopholes by adopting a strong Digital Fairness Act. Increase legal certainty and address loopholes in the legislation to better protect people for instance against deceptive and addictive design, and unfair personalisation.

I hope this leads to them pushing for Jolla and similar to not be locked out of banking apps (and EU IDs…)

Reinstate strong powers to understand and adapt devices you own, rather than pandering to US industry interests.

But selfhosted Gitea, which OP chose, IS good for closed source. And codeberg is not.

Alternative of that is self hosted forgejo

In general the justice system don't care much what your idea of the law is.

If its not clear through the actuall law or the accompanying comments what constitutes hate speech, it will be cleared up by the court itself.

My point is that this is the norm, not the exception in legal systems. It's good for laws to be clear cut and unambiguous, but in practice the world is not, and laws gets interpreted as courts use them.

Yes — a very clear and unambiguous “speech is allowed” is the correct solution. If your feelings got hurt, you can cry to your mommy. The world does not owe anybody comfort.
