To be fair, the Fiio MP3 player I bought in the late 2010s also didn’t have acceleration while scrolling, and never got it in firmware upgrades. I suspect that 80% of the market might only carry small music collections with them, and the other 20% may be regarded as not worth bothering with (except by Rockbox and the original Apple iPod)
Not having a progress indicator on the exceedingly long database building application, though, is a bit harder to excuse.
I bought one. Unfortunately, it still doesn’t work well with large music libraries. The database building step takes several hours, with no progress indicator, and once it’s done, the scroll wheel does not accelerate, meaning that scrolling through a long list of artists/albums will take a long time. Hopefully these will be remedied in a future firmware.

A few decades ago, a devoutly communist rabbit breeder from East Germany donated a pair of giant rabbits he had bred to North Korea, in the hope that they could be used to start a breeding programme to provide the North Korean comrades with food. Later, it turned out that both rabbits were killed and served to Kim Jong-Il at a banquet.
Now, it seems that North Korea’s best troops are the rabbits.

If their support of cryptobro social network Nostr wasn’t a huge red flag, Mullenweg’s stamp of approval surely is
Surely Ayn Rand’s simplistic and regressive view of society being mixed into the crunchy granola liberalism/hippie sloganeering of the “California Ideology” was a huge warning sign.
That reads like someone trying to get an ADHD diagnosis.
That sounds like a slip of the tongue. Surely she meant a Silicon Valley anchored off the coast of Europe like a pirate ship, running rings around the EU’s flat-footed dirigiste regulators and cashing in like bandits. Also, AI and blockchains.
The 6% are probably bored people who think that everything is awesome in America, and when they join they’ll get awesome big cars and guns and rockets and superheroes and a Disneyland and cool flavours of Coke they only have in the US.
They had a problem a few years ago with student Marxist societies using their own readings of Marx to critique the Party’s leadership, which they of course came down on like a tonne of bricks. The CCP is about Marxism the way the Catholic Church is about the Bible: there’s only one valid interpretation, and it’s whatever the institution says it is at the time.
If a French politician, businessman or senior bureaucrat doesn’t have at least one mistress, people wonder what’s wrong with him.
if they’re on Lemmy, though, that would be a good first guess
Sweden has an epidemic of gang warfare, with shootings and bombings taking place, and many perpetrators being under 18. The Swedish system has until recently been based on the assumption of a society of people who can be trusted to follow the rules (for example, you can look up anyone’s home address and how much they earn in a public database). They have only recently started changing this in response to the gang crisis, i.e. only recently is it possible for witnesses to anonymously testify in trials, which led to many defendants walking free as witnesses justifiably feared retribution.
If the wiretapping is targeted at individual suspects rather than mass surveillance of everyone in a group (say, under-18s in problematic suburbs, or from racialised minorities), it doesn’t sound entirely unreasonable.
