How would it be banned? If it is decentralised--most people who care about this sort of thing know how to sideload an app.

I used to work for a European energy company called Powergen.

Their Italian division had the interesting domain name of powergenitalia.com -- don't visit it now though! It goes somewhere else!

I switched to Keepass, with KeepassXC browser extension, and use SyncThing to synchronise the database across my computers and phone. This was after Lastpass fucked up for the final time 3 years-ish ago.

Works really well, not hard to setup.

I heard it was because the Japanese character for 10,000 looks like a little walking figure--and could be used on the plastic pedometers? 10k was a marketing thing

I can sort of see it!

lol @ "do not count suicides"

Over 750 million people live in Europe, a lot more than the USA so factor that into your stagger.

This is true, the UK (much like the US really) is a rapidly failing state. The future will probably end up being a rather civilised battle of ideologies between the EU and China.

This is another Brexit dividend! International students used to make up a significant amount of uni funding here. That dropped off a lot after the right-wing cunts (Tories mostly, new labour include) made the UK hostile to our best-paying students.

... One problem is that coins aren't worth much anymore, and bill or credit card interfaces would be awkward.

Most vending machines / arcade machines here in the UK, and a lot of other European countries, have simple contactless "tap to pay" terminals on them now for this sort of thing. Mostly works well and eliminates the need for coins.

This would work perfectly fine with a jukebox.

Firefox is becoming unusable on Linux for me because of Cloudflare, keep getting the "Upgrade your browser" message and locked out of so many websites now :( Brave works fine so it's not my IP, and the same issue happens with no extensions.

So sad.

(could it be Linux Mint repo is behind?)

This is not entirely true. It's not always the case that if one EU country accepts something, it's automatically accepted in the entire EU. It's mostly true for products but definitely not for systems.

There was nothing technical about abandoning the switch. It was Microsoft pouring huge amounts of money into lobbying to prevent the switch.

Not exactly true. The US only entered WWII after the tide had turned and the allied forces were winning. It looks like they were waiting for a clear winner before committing.

FairEmail is pretty good, lots of advanced options and customisations.

Every time they try this (it's usually the tory scumbags) there is a huge public backlash. I'm surprised the Palantir contract is still going ahead. No one in this country wants tech companies or foreign military contractors having access to their most personal and private information.

Didn't the US lobby hard for the copyright laws and treaties in the rest of the world?
