> IIRC, ICC judges lost access to their O365 work email accounts. Worst the US can do to me is turn off my Steam, and Gmail but I can easily live without those.

They lost access to everything american, including Visa and Mastercard. It's in french and maybe not the best source but it's not paywalled :

> "Payments are mostly cancelled," he continued, "as almost all cards issued by banking institutions in Europe are either Visa or Mastercard, which are American companies."

They are not completely debanked since they can go to the bank and withdraw cash, but it's a crippling situation to be in.

> Lend-Lease. Who do you think they leased from and what do you think they leased?

Did the US won the war alone ? who used the weapons ?

Qualcomm is apparently the main difficulty : https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/03/the-fairphone-2-hits...

Fairphone do manage to keep up tho. The Fairphone 3 was updated to android 13 a few month ago.

I think monospaced fonts are still popular in the plan9/golang crowd using the acme text editor. googling "dennis ritchie acme" leads to this : https://anders.unix.se/2015/10/28/screenshots-from-developer... is that it ?

Well, there exists "libertaire" in French (and other languages as well I guess) as a synonym, but nowadays people would hear "libertarian".

And people aren't always on the lookout, specially in casual conversations.

> Why should they be honoring the header now?

The idea was that, given a significant enough amount of people turning it on, advertisers would take notice of it and react accordingly. If it's on by default it is meaningless.

It's a tool that enable users to send a message to advertisers that they are not okay with their practices. It was designed this way. It says you are okay with ads but not with the tracking.

> There are no incentives to do so, and no punishment or repercussions if they don't.

Except for adblock. If the only option to avoid tracking is to block ads, then that is what will be used.

I don't get it. There is no point at all to let DNT be on by default anyway. What is all the noise about? What did I miss?

There is no local monopoly France. (for ADSL, not speaking about fiber here).

All of the "last-kilometer" connectivity is owned by the historical telephony operator France Telecom (also known as Orange after its privatization), which has the obligation to rent it to other providers. You can switch between all country-wide ISPs as you wish.

Free, as well as all major ISPs in France, rents you a router when you subscribe. This is where the filtering is done, using lying DNSs it seems.
