Said the commission that wanted (and probably still wants) to force applications to break their encryption for „law and order“…?

From what I understand it was withdrawn as a vote „in favor of the goals of the commission“ was not guaranteed. In part because Germany announced its decision to withdraw support yesterday. Seems to be standard behavior.

Nah kids, this ain’t Links Awakening. It’s the light world from A Link to the Past.

Still one of the best SNES games out there.

In regards to stock systems, I agree.

Been stuck in the convenient ecosystem for a while, and I cope by telling myself Apple makes the bulk of its money with hardware and services. Not ads like Google. But if I would start over from zero, I think Graphene OS and Linux would be the way. But migrating the whole family away from our current Apple line up - I dread that challenge.

Seems the other way around works just as well. Say you like an Apple product and attract someone who goes „brainless Apple fanboy“ or „Google does it better because freedom“

Not a reason to not wish for a different environment around gaming communities. Just sitting around thinking „always has been that way“ is not the way to change anything about the situation at all.

Mayhaps, I don’t have an equivalent table comparing all the services here to others in the world 😅

There were various secret meetings that became public afterwards. From plans to storming the Bundestag like Jan 6 and the Capitol to meetings with far right Nazis that are on watchlists of the local secret service, the Bundesverfassungsschutz.

Latest meeting was on the topic of „How to deport political opponents and immigrants after seizing the political system“ which not only featured known Nazis but members of the CDU Conservative Party (Merkel‘s Crew).

That was the drop too much that ignited the whole protest we see now. And it is well overdue if you ask me

That win is important, but Sony already sued Quad9 in Italy just this week. It’s one battle won, but not the war.

In Italy they demand the same, blocking certain sites used for torrenting.

„Und wenn es dir den Darm zerreißt: dumm ist, wer in der Pause scheißt.“

I second this. I made an effort a while back to cut all Meta products out of my digital life. And this was the reasoning I gave to friends and family as well. Especially as I had no interest at all to use more than one messaging app.

Worked pretty well.
