And it would be even higher if they didn’t require people’s parent/grandparent to have registered an Irish ‘foreign birth’ before they died. Being Irish was stigmatised in the UK until a few decades ago so people often didn’t.

Countries like the Netherlands, Austria, France, and Italy reject automated transmission

The article tells us a lot of who’s against what but not many that are pushing for more, except Czechia. I bet Hungary is one again, isn’t it?

safe or just safer?

Is any national dictator’s army yet doing the “two steps forward, one step back” march to appear less scary?

That depends who’s hosting it. There’s few good reviews of email hosting out there at the moment.

Even if you self-host, other people’s mailservers still interact with it, unless you only chat with other users you host. And some of the big webmails variously get really pernickity about your DNS, DKIM and more, or they deploy some pretty obnoxious countermeasures against your server with little explanation. So I’d say it’s more often both than not, no matter what you do. If you think it’s not being a pain, there’s probably an unpleasant surprise in your server logs or coming soon!

It’s still often worth self-hosting, but that’s more big webmail really sucks, even ISPs often don’t set their mailservers up well and it’s often an early casualty of ISP managers looking for costs to cut.

Unusually, for once the answer to a headline question isn’t a simple ‘no’ but more ‘not without some fight’.

Any browsers except the minimal servoshell yet?

Is it faster to start up? Is it less snoopy? Are these in some FAQ I missed?

I suspect people disliked both of the approaches you suggested, or thought it was a false dilemma fallacy, but downvotes rarely come with explanations.

Contact your local MEP. Ask your local MP or Deputy or whatever you call them to push the relevant minister to oppose it. It’s not great, but you do have a say.

Article rests on one expert. That assistant professor’s publication list doesn’t seem to contain evidence about it, plus the quotes in the article don’t directly say it happens.

Maybe it does, but that article only seems to be guessing based on (admittedly reasonable) theory.

Got proof? I’ve not cracked open a phone for a while to see if the component labelling matches the interface, let alone tested capacity of an extracted battery directly.

Blimey. I was expecting it to be stolen but they say the bars had unique numbers, so it seems its owner buried it and then someone sold the property without realising what it contained.

Why not serif body copy? (looks at most newspapers and books)

Some good observations and some software suggestions, but I don’t think all of them are good. I hate Anubis when I’m using an assisted accessible browser (that it locks out, always saying a solution is coming but it never has, which I’m pretty sure is illegal discrimination in some situations) and they really ought not recommend Proton without mentioning its chief supporting Trump and helping French police track climate activists.

Other tips, including Lemmy, are better.

On some things, but not everything. Their “Plan A” environmental commitment seems sometimes worth the extra cost, too.

Doesn’t that just lead to rule by the arrogant and insensitive?

They’ve been owned!

Because they feel this is more of a priority than climate change, the cost of living, air pollution, …?

I wonder how many areas don’t have some local councillor’s home in them, given that most of England still has county, district and town/parish councils, each with between 12 and 90 councillors. This law could easily have some unforseen consequences.

Digital ownership? Games producers want to own players’ fingers now? I guess that’s slightly better than cutting their ears off.
