Yes, I was referring to the article saying that without at least one of them, it’s unlikely to make it:

The matter must be agreed among a qualified majority of member states, meaning at least one of the larger countries – Germany or Italy – will have to support the bid if it is to succeed.

Article content: To propose slapping duties on Israeli goods. The Council still has to agree, which means Italy or Germany needs to agree, and neither of them seems inclined to. So this is not a done deal yet.

By “auto-grouping” you mean that it groups when you drag and drop, but you still want it available in the context menu? You could set browser.tabs.dragDrop.createGroup.delayMS in about:config to a very high number - then you’ll have to hold one tab over the other for a long time before it actually offers to group them.

“Say that the Spanish government was forcing us to choose between undermining encryption in a way that would pollute Signal and making it dangerous for everyone, or leaving the market. That means everyone in the world who has a contact in Spain they need to talk to, they could no longer communicate. If the choice were between undermining encryption, undermining our privacy promises in a way that harmed anyone who use the Signal network, or leaving a market, we would leave a market in a heartbeat,” she explains.

This is so true. It’s been good enough for me for so many years at this point, and yet it just keeps getting better. The whole experience is so much nicer now than it was years ago, which was better than years before that, etc.

(That said, better hardware also helps a lot.)

Still had SPD in it, no? And FDP.

Wasn’t Germany also opposed the two previous times it was proposed?

I can live with that, although I’ll also note that the sample size is biased.

Auto-reminder that StatCounter is garbage and these articles are almost always about statistical noise, not actual behavioural change.

It indicates their being sarcastic, because they aren’t confident that that’s obvious to every reader.

It literally happened hours ago. I’m going to wait and see before rushing to conclusions.

Does the linked proposal say that the US intelligence agencies get access to everybody’s record, or just to the ones with a plane ticket?

Yeah that’s funny. I just learned about the Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon last week, and now I see it mentioned everywhere.

I was pretty excited to try Bazaar, but UX-wise I feel like GNOME-software is way less overwhelming and thus easier to use - even though it’s not great. And startup speed for Bazaar is still pretty slow, even though IIRC speed was supposed to be one of its selling points.

Still great to see people to try to innovate, and it’s still pretty young, so definitely something to keep an eye on. But I was overhyped.

Doesn’t the same hold for distributions repackaging software? Surely most developers don’t maintain their own Debian packages, Fedora rpms, Arch whatever-their-name-is’s, etc?

Ha, if that’s your first association, I think that might say more about you than about the phone :P

(Which is not a bad thing.)

Alyssa is so incredibly impressive. I don’t usually particularly suffer from impostor syndrome, but I wouldn’t even dream of being able to accomplish what she has.

I don’t think that that’s possible by EU rules. The single market is a very important tenet of the EU, and that works best if a company only has to comply by a single set of regulations to cater to the whole market.

Presumably ebooks will also no longer be subject to VAT?

I appreciate the effort! (Indeed looks like that wasn’t quick to put together.) And yes, that looks like you get a bunch more controls on your wider phone.
