That’s obviously because you have no idea how forceful religious parents operate, neither do authors of the law (or they do and it’s their goal from the beginning).
The law wouldn’t stop them from forcing you to wear a hat, the law will add fun and exiting “damn if you do damn if you don’t” part to it.

Also, Google glasses were just as creepy.

I mean yeah, but again, remove a camera and it’s actually a very useful product for a very specific purpose.

They don’t have to be sunglasses. Google glasses worked how many years ago.

They are all non-critical things

I mean, nothing strictly speaking is. But having hands-free screen actually opens some nice possibilities that holding a phone in your hand doesn’t afford.

Anyways, that’s irrelevant because meta glasses don’t have screens. So, no AR functionality.

Wait, they don’t? What the fuck is the point then.

A glasses with a display were always my dream. But with actually good controls, which it looks like the current iteration of pervert glasses actually have, it’s more than I ever dreamed for. You can display a minimap there, you can do some media control, display relevant info if you’re working on something, speaker’s notes when you do the presentation, the possibilities are numerous.
If there will be a distinct version without a camera I might actually consider overcoming my hate for Zuck’s bullshit (but more probably I’ll wait for zuckless version)

Not really, not this hyperscaling bullshit they made.

This law made to hurt Muslim people, women, and Muslim women. There is no other purpose to it.

I have pretty good idea what works, we have generations of data about it. Empowering women, giving them opportunities to live independently, giving them resources to escape abusive household. Same with men, children, and everyone else.
And we definitely, 100% know what doesn’t work. Adding more rules policing what women are allowed and not allowed to wear. This will, without any doubt, lead to more abuse. Some kids will have to live double lives, escaping abuse from home and abuse from cops that will no doubt use this opportunity to be cops about it. Some kids will not be allowed to go outside, which as you can imagine, will do wonders to their ability to actually live in society. Some kids will be shunned by families. Some kids will be harassed by police.
This shit has only one purpose, for racists to remove Muslim women from public existence. They don’t care what will happen to them as the result. Some of people who happy about this know what they’re doing, and it’s their plan. Some are just idiots who don’t care.

If you really care about demeaning of women, this is what you need to focus on. Adding the “you will be punished if you obey your abuser” rule is exactly, specifically the opposite of helping.

I wish the government will ban you from wearing a hat, I don’t like it when men wearing hats.

Forcing kids to wear specific item of clothing, or forcing kids to not wear specific item of clothing is the same superstitious habit, just with a different superstition behind it.

I bet a ban on hijab will do wonders for that abused women you’re talking about. I bet their lives will fundamentally improve for now having to fear both their abusive relatives and the law, having to chose to get abuse from parents or from law enforcers should be fucking swell experience.

My mom got served a virus from front page of Google. Living without adblock was always bad, nothing changed.

If you’re indoctrinated from childhood that you have achieved ultimate freedoms, the concept of fighting for said freedoms feels not just alien to you, but completely disconnected. You can’t even understand that you, an American, need to do something. It’s like explaining to a fish that water isn’t a universal constant. Except, this time fish was never actually in the water and is currently being deep-fried.

If you know nothing about nothing this might look weird to you. But at this point so will the mystery of where the mom dissapears when she covers her face with her hands.

That’s not the line though. Some words are not used for a reason, everyone understands it. It’s not some magical incomprehensible mystery, it’s a basic human decency.

You’re are allowed to do whatever the fuck you want. You’re not allowed to bitch like a child if whatever you’re doing will provoke the reaction that might be unpleasant to you. That’s how community self-regulates. One idiot says “unalive”, someone else tells them that they’re a fucking idiot, they don’t want to be called an idiot, they don’t say “unalive” anymore, that’s how it supposed to work.

Europeans will be using democracy to defend democracy against onslaught of anti-democratic forces suggesting that social and political problems should be fixed with military.
So far, despite significant amount of money poured by both American and Russian fascist movements, Europe is still not as bad as the media is trying to portray.
44% of a historically alt-right voting poor and not very populated land in Germany voted for yet another alt-right party, which represents less than 3% of the population of the country. Definetely a case for concern and a reason to never stop political activism, but far from the reason to panic and call the tanks.

Not for the lack of trying.

Why would anyone waste enormous amount of energy making a new engine, when forked Gecko works and you can backport Mozilla’s updates to it. Same way with Linux, everyone uses Linux kernel because it exists.
When/if those project die, that’s when you’ll start seeing replacements, and at some point the best or most popular will be seen as mainstream and will be a focus point of all the enthusiasts. Like Firefox now.
There is absolutely no reason to believe that a corporation is required to have a good opensource project, just because right now a corporation maintains this specific one.

These forks are in essence just preconfigured and hardened Firefox

That’s also not true for a lot of the projects. Forks maintain their own code, porting new updates from Mozilla’s stuff, but they aren’t required to port everything, and that’s the big reason to use them.

Outside of America ice cream machines work. The rest of the world doesn’t do monopolies very well, so mcdolands can actually fix their machine when it’s broke, instead of waiting forever for an authorised fixer from one company. Also, people get a living wage working there, so they care a bit more.
