Note the vote was withdrawn, not actually voted against. They’re pushing this for a later date because there was no majority.

“The EU Council did not make a decision on chat control today, as the agenda item was removed due to the lack of a majority, (…)

Belgium’s draft law, (…) was instead postponed indefinitely. (…) Belgium cannot currently present a proposal that would gain a majority. In July, the Council Presidency will transfer from Belgium to Hungary, which has stated its intention to advance negotiations on chat control as part of its work program.

This is subjective. I think it could be something like two check boxes in settings:

• Enable hearts?
• Enable up/down votes?

(I’m not complaining, works for me as is. Just trying for some constructive criticism.)

They start with CSAM, move to copyright infringement, and end at censorship of those with opposing views.

Once such laws and mechanisms are in place all it takes is the right wrong leadership to take it all away to keep us safe.

I enabled the option and after reopening the app GIFs play but only after I click them.

Click image, which zooms to occupy full screen, and GIF plays. Go back to thread by closing image and it stops again. \ So basically it plays when full screen but not inline.

The day I’m forced to watch YouTube ads is the day I’ll stop using it.

Google uses tax avoidance schemes and I use ad avoidance schemes.

Bad title.

Powerful people abusing their position to take advantage of others is, sadly, not unusual.

An extension would allow me to use FF as I usually do for all sites except for list-of-blocked-sites-in-EU that the extension would work its magic on to allow data through. Also, I wouldn’t have to look for a secure proxy myself and it would work (hopefully) on FF for mobile devices.

(Right now I’m using Tor which was already suggested in a different comment. The effort of having to open Tor is small but I was wondering whther an extension like Censor Tracker existed.)

I suppose a proxy could work. Ideally I would have multiple proxies working within the same profile like

• Proxy 1 for websites A, B, C (uni proxy so I can access papers)
• Proxy 2 for websites E, F, G (Russia proxy so I can read EU-blocked stuff)
• Rest goes unproxied.

That’s what I have been using. More often than not I get exit nodes that allow the propaganda through.

Any similar extensions to bypass EU censorship?

Ah, oops!

Some distros do this already.

Alternative downloads

There are several other ways to get Ubuntu including torrents, which can potentially mean a quicker download, our network installer for older systems and special configurations and links to our regional mirrors for our older (and newer) releases.

BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer download network that sometimes enables higher download speeds and more reliable downloads of large files. You need a BitTorrent client on your computer to enable this download method.

In older models the speedometer and the tachometer were analogue but new Volvos have them digital so more likely to be affected by software bugs even when the separation exists.

I don’t actually know how the analogue versions work or if they could still be affected by software bugs in the onboard computer. UI wise probably sturdier than digital I suspect.

My use case for this is that I only subscribe to communities related to tech to keep my core feed clean. Specially during short breaks during work hours I don’t want to open Jerboa and bump into other stuff. But I have other interests, like most people.

So it would be nice to have a feed of communities focused on politics even though I’m not subscribed to those communities. And another one focused on random interests like documentaries, books, etc (which I’m not subscribed to either).

I believe this should be part of the back end though, and not a frontend-only thing, in order to have sync between clients (like smartphone, tablet, PC). Having to redo lists in each frontend would be a pain when lists can have many dozens of entries. (During the dark ages of reddit I remember hitting the 100 limit at some point.)

I like being able to see upvotes and dowvotes separately as it is done now.

Arstechnica has them separately but also shows the sum which could be an option. For example, 90 (93 / -3) but with green and red color.

Having a show/hide sum in settings could help please more people but it’s extra work for developers.

Maybe in the future it can be used by managers to keep an eye on what their underlings are doing at all times. I suggest calling the manager’s remote version Microsoft Panopticon.

The headline. 🤨

The one hacked was Santander, not its staff and 30 million of its customers.
