Were they members of the governing party?


I don’t understand why they don’t advertise this cpu as one capable of running local LLMs, because it can, right?


Tangential question: Do they really expect people to pay 5 USD for creating memes? Are people paying for these kind of service?


People who feel they are discriminated against other groups/cultures/etc.

Most of the time that feeling of “discrimination” is not supported by facts but some feel that way nevertheless, so the government leverage that to cut civil liberties, push back the opposition, or be corrupt and not be put on the spot by the society.


I never understood how people thrive on noisy environments. They can work, enjoy, and even relax in places full of loud music, shouting, and constant noise.

I hate noise and need silence to relax, concentrate, and work.


Ara is a pro-secessionist diary so take their news about the national police in Spain with a pinch of salt.


That’s the Mossos, not the national police of Spain.


Then the title is wrong and should mention that “A Catalan policeman says that…”.


Mossos aren't policemen.


Yeah they are. Their official name is literally "Policia de la Generalitat de Catalunya".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mossos_d%27Esquadra


Mossos are the Police of Catalonia modulo borders, counterterrorism and higher duties which are dealt by the Guardia Civil (akin to Gendarmerie).


What are they then? It’s a regional police force.


They are mossos ;-)


ClodFlare does not want to comply with court rulings. Not in Spain, nor in France.


Which court rulings in Spain Cloudflare doesn't want to comply with?


It's not quite that. LaLiga got a ruling (310/2024, Dec-18-2024) So that they can demand Spanish ISPs to block IPS that LaLiga claims are used to pirate soccer games. But as one would expect, piracy like this involves some CDNing, and therefore CloudFlare IPs. But since those don't necessarily point to individual customers on the other side, in practice it means parts of the internet don't work well in Spain while a game is going on, as the IP blocks that are deemed to be full of piracy are hosting all kinds of other things.

So the issue isn't whether piracy is getting stopped or not, but that the blast radius hits a whole lot of people, including other cloudflare customers.


Cloudflare does not provide the information to the court about the clients that do piracy.


Do they have to, especially if they're not from Spain?


If they want to operate in Spain, yes.


I'm not familiar with Spanish law, but you can see the problem with forcing a company to provide details of customers that are from a different country.

It's a bit like the UK demanding that Apple gave them access to user data of all customers worldwide. Apple correctly told them no and stopped offering end-to-end encryption to UK users.


So, following your example, CloudFlare should stop offering the service to Spanish clients that allow them to break the law.


Now they are being colonized by Morocco. They protested against Spanish domination and now they’ve been deported and oppressed by an autocratic regime.

Is this generated by an AI, a Markov chain or schizophrenia?

How is that related to the historical context I gave?


While this “going native” is interesting, sadly there are not much accounts of his whereabouts.

This reminds me about the concept created by the Spanish writer Miguel de Unamuno: “intrahistoria”, i.e. the unofficial history formed the common people.


Unofficial history, many times, is simply glorified memory, which is very biased and dangerous.

This fueled quite a lot the hangover of the nationalisms born during the XIX century.


And official history is unglorified, unsmudged fact and circumstance?


Not necessarily, but it's not not that hard to find anymore to the curious eye


Hope the use that money to improve things for the people there!
