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?

And bicycles are ridden both by poor workers who can’t afford cars and the elite who don’t need to rush about in cars, so it’s a form of transport that all classes can be told to hate! 🙄

Does it work for the politicians? Hidalgo re-elected, Kahn re-elected, to name two. I don’t remember all the bike-bashers who lost because history soon forgets most losers.

safe or just safer?

Could be good polling with poor explanation!

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.

Can people go by bike?

Even better, go watch a bike race. It’s probably much cheaper, even with some travel.

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?

It does say billions of pounds bet, so probably one of Entain, Evoke, Flutter or bet365, as not many others are that big.

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.

a member of the Joint Chiefs

Belgium has a single Chief Head of Defence. In Belgium, the Joint Chiefs are some guys who figured how to get supplies from Dutch coffee shops!

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.
