Limiting supply is limiting bargaining power, you will always end up with better deal even having worse alternative option. As a buyer you want as much supply as possible.

If we end rents, who will decide which land belongs to you(Berlin downtown or Shitholeburg province)?

When you are leading manufacturing power in region and loosing markets to China while allowing external powers to destroy your energy supplies(banning nuclear and blowing Nord Stream 2).

No political bullshit will help with objective reality, being it rightoids who promise "optimizing" social spendings(while leaching on corruption) or leftoids who want to tax the rich(which will just drive factories and businesses to Poland/China/etc).

No, this is not better question - govts were multiple times caught by hand in cooperating with private companies for surveillance or just breaking the law without any consequences(i.e. germany MITMing jabber.ru hetzner nodes)

Well the criteria is CSAM

Could you confirm that in any way?

Indeed, this happens when you sacrifice public dialog for short-term gains calling everyone who does not agree with your points "far-right", "nazi", "russian asset". There will be literal fascists and people will support them just because they promise(probably bait-and-switch, but does not matter) to address public problems instead of gaslighting that problems are non-existent.

Market ideology -> Right wing Done through incentives, not nationalized industry -> market ideology, right wing.

Yeah, compared to communists they are right, but even socialists does not push against market economy and if you consider socialists right-wing - we have a huge de-sync on definitions level I guess.

Okay, I am not EU citizen, let's see EPP's manifesto:

As a central part of its campaign for the European elections in 2009, the EPP approved its election manifesto at its Congress in Warsaw in April that year. The manifesto called for:[16]

- Creation of new jobs, continuing reforms and investment in education, lifelong learning, and employment to create opportunities for everyone (govt universal social investment, left)

- Avoidance of protectionism, and coordination of fiscal and monetary policies (pro-federal pro-centralisation)

- Increased transparency and surveillance in financial markets(more regulation on market)

- Making Europe the market leader in green technology. (increase govt involvement in economy)

- Increasing the share of renewable energy to at least 20 percent of the energy mix by 2020. (increase govt involvement in economy)

- Family-friendly flexibility for working parents, better child care and housing, family-friendly fiscal policies, encouragement of parental leave. (Pro-Worker's rights, social security)

-A new strategy to attract skilled workers from the rest of the world to make Europe's economy more competitive, more dynamic and more knowledge-driven (Pro-migration)

Could you explain how that's considered right-wing?

EU conservatives are just moderate leftists, who cares.

Okay, since it is already working system - how could I verify it scans for CSAM, not my dissident books and saved eps*ein files?

CSAM detection systems

Blackboxes which scan your messages and photos for anything 3rd party want with undisclosed criteria.

It is popular because governments are failed to address legitimate issues and gaslight population.

I guess there also were macro-assemblers before C, so it was a bit more natural.

How do you derive that something is "below average" or "average" or "above average"?

How do you? I mean, that was your point basis.

Yes and US guys are plain wrong on swastika thing - you could even financially support open nazi militants like Azov battalion from most EU countries without any consequences.

Govts pretend to protect while taking your civil rights, nothing new under the moon.

Sorry for copypaste, but I still hope people will see true intentions of govt.

Just a recap how it happened in Russia:

1. First, year ~2015 legal framework was created under disguise of banning pirated media(specifically torrents.ru)(legislative push). State-wide DNS ban introduced. Very easy to circumvent via quering 8.8.8.8

2. Then, having legal basis, govt included extra stuff in banned list(casinos, terrorist orgs, etc)(executive push). IP bans introduced, applied very carefully.

3. Legal expanded allowing govt to ban specific media on very vague criterias(legislative push). IP blocks tried on some large websites. DPI hardware mandated to be installed by ISPs to filter by HTTPS SNI(executive push).

4. At ~2019 Roskomnadzor(RKN) created, special govt entity which enforces bans without court orders(legislative push).

5. ~2021 sites become banned if they are not filtering content by Russian laws by request of RKN(executive push). VPN services were obligated to also DPI-filter traffic(legislative push).

6. ~2023 Crackdown on VPN started(executive push). Popular commercial services were IP-banned, OpenVPN and IPSec connections selectively degraded by DPI.

7. ~2025 Heavy VPN filtering(vless, wireguard, etc) introduced(executive push). Performance of certain sites were degraded(youtube, twitter, etc).

people would need to get the same treatment independently of their background

This point of view is seems actually widely represented in German politics

That is not what the AfD argues.

Ironically AfD leader is a lesbian married with immigrant Sri-lankian woman, so I doubt your claims.

You said "foreign culture", now you are moving goalposts. Culture is not birth attribute.

All people are equal as far as the law is concerned, no matter their skin color, religion or origin

This is kinda vague, i.e. afaik German laws discriminate lonely people by taxing them more then married.

What's so undemocratic if current inhabitants of some land do not want foreign culture influence in their society?

This again, according to https://fightchatcontrol.eu/ for Germany, Chat Contol is generally supported by de-facto left-wing(support immigration, social security, LGBT movement, positive discrimination, progressive tax, worker rights) CDU and CSU (29 of 34 "Yes" votes with 97 votes in total)

Wtf are you talking about if NSA PRISM was discovered 10+ years ago which proved all private companies cooperated with govt to spy on you?

You say that govt is holding a gun to citizen's head, but govt also holding a gun at private company's head.

in order not to trip these scans for false positives

They CLAIM they scan for CSAM, so watch out your documents and pictures with something that govt also wants to track.

Yeah, and also how many such crimes are actually prosecuted because you know, there is certain island with certain high-ranked people.

Anyways, once that implemented noone will report to you and there will be no means of pushing against it because all your online efforts to coordinate will be compromised.

That's fair, however 120k is peanuts for company of developers. I still think it is fair to use that money at dev's disposal.

I got map generator concerns which is totally valid - but that OM trashtalking for things that was never stated(i.e. purpose of donations) is just wrong - even if you like CoMaps, why not be grateful for all awesome work done by OM team which is the foundation of CoMaps?

Hosting etc. expenses are a minor fraction compared to OM's donations inflow.

How do you know that if they are not disclosing this info?

Guys in OM core dev team paying for hosting, app accounts, legal questions, etc(AFAIK, they subsidize all that from their own money because donations are not enough).

On top of that, they contribute years of man-hours for free to the project. I believe it is completely fair for hard-working dev to use donated money to have some rest.

Imo, consumers of all that good are too spoiled to also require strict discipline or transparency or even hating original authors(as seen on HN).

lead dev using donations to pay for holidays

What's wrong with that?

Russia is also under heavy attack of phone scammers. Govt using that to shut down and ban messengers, lol, how convinient.
