  • That touches on a particularly nefarious part of guilt and why I tend to avoid it by being honest, because there always is that knowledge in the back of your mind and the consideration on whether you should come clean. I hate that feeling and it keeps my tendencies to take the easy route by being dishonest in check.






  • Them allowing unlimited book checkouts during covid in defiance of copyright law, resulting in them getting sued and losing bad in court. They knew it was going to get them in trouble and proceeded anyway.

    I’m not saying it wasn’t a noble thing to do, but it was stupid and they knew better. So now they are just paying off the fine and I don’t want my money to go straight to the publishers and lawyer fees.







  • The EU is slow moving. That can be detrimental to techhnological arms races sometimes, but the stability it provides also has a lot of benefits. Currently they are consulting start-ups in a bid to streamline innovation and incentivize venture capital. Germany is now actively trying to make business administration easier. So the necessary steps are being taken, but it will take time to implement as is the wont of the EU and its member states.

    All change starts with talk, but I do think that European politicians see the acute need for a new innovation framework that is tailored to the times. Even when that framework is in place it will take several more years to visibly notice results. But then the EU per definition looks at the long game, so it’s not a bad thing per se.
