Austria has that (with the catchy name Verein zur Selbstkontrolle der österreichischen Presse – Österreichischer Presserat), doesn’t help one bit, except in extreme cases.

It’s one of the economic pillars of the city.
It’s probably something personal, but I never questioned that. For me it was an abstract challenge, and that was rewarding enough.
I also intentionally moved into a field that heavily relies on math afterwards (computer graphics), so maybe I’m just weird like that.
I think you can always reject an incoming letter.
Austria tried that by forcing citizens to pay for the state media directly instead of tax money, but it pretty much failed because politicians just can’t get their hands off that and so always place their own henchmen into management positions there. Obviously they’re also unwilling to create laws to get rid of that power.
The web standard is so broken that it’s absolutely infeasible to write a new engine, and Chromium is much easier to embed into an application than Mozilla’s engine.
The EU’s privacy laws don’t require a cookie dialog. It’d be legal and a way better user experience to make tracking opt-in and move the setting to some configuration menu somewhere else.
The UK seems to be dominated by England, that only cares about England. Other countries aren’t well treated.
Using a Large Language Model for image detection is peak human intelligence.
Public WiFi is the main problem, anybody connected to the same WiFi could potentially intercept all of your Web traffic. You could use a VPN to avoid that one.
That’s the open secret of the Web, all security on it is just fake. The list of root certificates is way too long to provide any security.
For the first violation, they chose to go for 0.5% instead of the 10%. I’m not holding my breath.
Yeah, this worked so well for XMPP when everybody federated with Gmail chat.
That’s equivalent to a parking fine for regular people. I know many people who would risk a parking fine if it means that they save a few minutes of searching for a parking spot.
Far-right people are naturally drawn to police work in every country. Only the law and sometimes a sense of duty stops them from going fully SS.
I think there usually are also a few pretty important high-ranking generals on those planes.
This isn’t about winning any particular battle, but to weaken Russia’s awareness of the battlefields all over Ukraine. It’s a slow-boiling long-term success.
It will probably take until 2030 for the EU to react.
You can buy just the motherboard of a Framework laptop and build something around that. There are even cases for them available to print.
Would be interesting what would happen when the EU regulates that browsers aren’t allowed to render non-standards compliant pages at all in order to allow new engine development just based on the spec, rather than having to implement all error fallbacks as well.
The EU is just bureaucratic enough that they could do that without realizing what a tornado of poo that would cause.
