That’s only because the normal user doesn’t store his own data anymore.

Whether that’s a good thing is a whole different discussion.

There is fundamentally no less criminally insane way to combat the circulation of CSAM? Then the council may have a point after all…

What you see is also in part how the EU legislative process operates. There are very very long backs and forwards within the commission and with the committees, with proposals that sometimes improve and sometimes worsen (this particular one is an absolute disaster), until some form of consensus is reached.

There simply is an agreement that something should be done about the online distribution of CSAM, and so they’ll keep coming up with new ideas until something gives, or someone manages to spread the idea that simply nothing should be done about it.

The most effective way to fight this might be to build consensus around a less criminally insane way to do this.

Realistically, the best option is still to try and fight it.

I think that’s language options, not geographic range.

He says he lives in Graz, in Austria (where people speak German and there are no kangaroos BTW).

I use /e/OS, my office mate uses Graphene. All our banking apps (I have like 3, lol) work flawlessly. However, once you go down this road, there is always a chance that they stop working in the future, as Google introduces more bullshit like this or Play Integrity.

It’s a reference to a meme from yesterday:

We have officially reached circlejerk point.

Yeah, except Spotify isn’t just a music company. They’ve been trying for years to get you to use their App for other stuff that’s costs them less royalties.

So now Spotify includes all manners of audiobooks and shitty podcasts.

And while we all agree that age verification is bad… If anything ever deserves age verification, it may be Joe Rogan.

Let me add myself to the chorus of “Fuck yes please”.

Any chance that this could be used in combination with existing streaming servers like Jellyfin or Navidrome? It would be most convenient to have generated playlists that I can download before leaving home.

Also, I have all my music already tagged with acousticbrainz metadata. Are those good for anything?

There’s many navigation apps that have traffic, like Magic Earth which 100% runs without GMS.

For review you can use gmaps wv or TripAdvisor.

Here We Go has traffic and TripAdvisor integration, but I’m not sure whether it runs without GMS.

True, but the pictures are useful though. I can tell a decent pizza from a shite one from a picture.

I have read maybe half, and the cringe in this piece is intense.

Imagine plauding Musk’s commitment to maintaining free speech on X.

I mean, there are problem with the DSA and there are plenty with Online Safety Act, but maybe try to SIMP for fascist Big Tech a little more discreetly?

Well, it’s right there in the name!

Mine was a 2001 Fiat Multipla, powered with natural gas. One of the most reviled cars ever made, and produced when Fiat was at its worst. It was awesome.

As I wrote elsewhere, I believe there are still cases where leather really makes sense from a comfort/durability standpoint.

I, like most people, still eat at least some meat, so it seems rude to not make good use of the rest.

I guess your cars usually go to ~1million kilometers then?

The car won’t last forever anyway, if it’s used regularly.

I threw away my last car at 19 years and 380’000km with no tears on the cloth seats.

And yeah, fake leather is almost always a big no.

I don’t ever want leather seats in my car but your answer seems… Unrelated to my comment?

You won’t believe how many years I’ve had a driving license without spilling something on my seats…

Leather boots can, in my opinion, have their place. Leather shoes are often more hard-wearing, comfortable and maintainable, then many of the alternatives.

That does not include leather sneakers because in those the construction and sole will self destruct way before the leather, so you have a shoe with good upper and a crumbling sole.

But leather upholstery always seemed to me to be hard to justify. They seem to me to be functionally inferior and way more expensive.

Car seats… Noone ever had to change car because the seats were worn. And leather is hot in summer, cold in winter, and sticky against sweaty skin.

Office chair… Really? I have mine with a mesh back just to breathe a little better.

And with a couch… Just why?

I never understood leather car seats.

Can someone here explain to me the appeal of car seats that get extra cold in winter, extra hot in summer, and that will get all sticky against my sweaty leg if I sit down with shorts…
