How bad can a sandwich even taste that you can't eat it? As long as it's safe to eat and the same product as advertised I don't know why a shop should refund.

Any customer could return their half eaten sandwich and get all their money back. I can't go to the cinema and decide I don't like the movie after 10 minutes to get my money back.

It was the conservative CDU with the economic liberal FDP which decided in 2011 to stop using nuclear power in Germany.

At the time when the Greens were in power a decade later, it was already way to late to build out nuclear infrastructure again (not to mention the lack of fuel).

So yes, you've metioned a conspiracy theory without any substance.

The Greens continually pushed for renewables, which the (conservative) government largely ignored in favour of building gas pipelines to Russia.

Yes, as long as they have enough to survive, people generally have some free time. I know someone who's living paycheck to paycheck and they make music as a hobby. Obviously, if you have to work 16 hours a day to survive they wouldn't do it – or at least they wouldn't have the capacity to share it.

It has everything to do with it. Mozilla explicitly talked about AI in the context of their relatively new translation feature a year or two back. Live captions also uses "AI". The term AI includes machine learning in marketing speech.

A better Linux desktop experience means it's more viable as a daily driver, which makes it more likely to be used for gaming instead of Windows.

Valve wants independence from Microsoft Windows, a better Linux desktop is part of that.

If someone complained to them that they still need a.out they might've reconsidered. At least that's what's happened before with old architectures.

Sadly UK have been passing similar laws as the EU when it comes to encryption, so they aren't any better.

Yes, immigration is the primary outward goal of the european far right. But the european far right has the common goal of stopping the EU from growing closer. I'd argue the far right is working together in the EU to destabilise it, similar to how other authoritarian countries are working together to destabilise the rest of the world to their advantage. The saying "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" comes to mind.

I think people who are against immigration usually also are against guest workers. They've negative sentiment towards seeing people not looking like them, without knowing whether they are permanent residents or only here for six months. It's a gut feeling based on stereotypes and prejudices not facts.

Sadly many shows aren't released on BluRay anymore, so even piracy won't deliver better quality.

There's currently a exploit which allows for system user access. This allows disabling core FireOS features like forced updates (which intentionally break custom launchers) and also allows setting a custom launcher. It's simple and can be done with just an Android phone (or ADB).

I've set Projectivy as my launcher and now it starts directly instead of the ad-ridden Amazon launcher.

Because Apple didn't want to open their ecosystem, they invested a bunch of money (and time) into "exploring what's the bare minimum required to comply with EU regulations". Now Google is locking their ecosystem down the same way because they know they are legally allowed to do so.

This is why it's an "unintended side effect" of EU regulations, as the regulations prompted Apple to find out how much user hostile behaviour they can get away with.

There's already a better way to check whether an Android phone is secure enough and it is independent of any proprietary OS certification: basicIntegrity [1].

Most banking apps in Germany use this API and thus work on GrapheneOS and other non-Google controlled ROMs with a locked bootloader.

PlayIntegrity is unnecessary and mostly offers vendor lock in to Google's ecosystem.

And if they still work mechanically after a decade, they shouldn't stop working because the company wants you to do another purchase. My Pi 3 is 9 years old and there's no reason it shouldn't continue to work until it mechanically doesn't.

> Seems like the majority of people would've wanted option 2 for some strange reason?

People want to know this is what happens. If a slow down is not communicated, the average person doesn't go "Oh, I need a new battery.". They are going to buy a new phone because their old one is slow.

The video wasn't taken down over commercial interests. They were taken down because some old law prohibited insults at representatives of other nations, with whom Germany has diplomatic relationships.

In 2021, Andreas Grote, the minister of interior of the Germany city-state Hamburg was called a dick in a tweet. (Andy, you are such a dick). This led to a police search of the home of the Twitter account owner [1].

This sparked a discussion about how to handle hate spech, as for regular people being called a dick does not result in a 06:00 am. police raid with six officers.

In the aftermath, a mural in a left wing culture center has been painted over multiple times with the tweet and a call for his resignation [1].

iPod Nano 7th gen. does support AAC (AIFF & WAV too).

SoundCloud pays a similar amount per stream to the creator as e.g. Spotify. The requirement is paying for Artist (Pro) which costs 3-7€.

> Bonus points for them being considered somewhat "close" to the French RN (which the latter have denied – don't know what that's worth).

Rassemblement National denied being close to the AfD because of how right-extremist the AfD is. The AfD was thrown out of the far-right group in the EU parliament because other EU far-right parties didn't want to get associated with this right-extremist party.

That's something I've wondered for a long time. Especially know when real time bank transfers aren't allowed to cost more than regular bank transfers (usually free), there's really no point in creating a seperate system.

But it seems to me like banks don't really want to make bank transfers more comfortable for small transactions.

Sadly no one I've mentioned Wero to knows about it so I've never used it. I feel like banks were too set in their old ways and PayPal ate their lunch.

In recent Android versions increasingly more features got moved into proprietary modules. A few years ago AOSP felt pretty much the same as proprietary Android.

Now changes in toolkits made it so that e.g. copying text from apps sometimes doesn't work. Google Android has a work around by using OCR (?) in the overview to select text. I feel like the former change is directly related to the ability of the OS to copy text anyway. This might not be a deliberate choice to limit AOSP but it shows how they design with proprietary Android in mind. Thus AOSP gets less useful as an OS as the design is not well thought out.

EA introduced their own kernel-level EA anti-cheat which makes it impossible to run their games through wine/proton.

Data might be stored in the US, but Chinese laws and control still apply to Bytedance, regardless of where the data is physically stored.

It's the same reason why multiple data transfer frameworks between the EU and US have been ruled illegal (e.g. Privacy Shield).

US law does not care where the data of its companies is stored and allows for surveillance of non-US citizens. Since EU citizens have a right to privacy, no US company can legally handle EU-citizens data.

Obviously this is bad for trade and business, so there'll always be a new law made to temporarily allow for data transfers. Until it'll be ruled illegal again, and the cycle repeats.

If a torrent has no seed with an open port, a peer without an open port won't be able to download.

This means having no port-forwarding shouldn't be much of an issue on private trackers (because most people have it to improve their ability to seed) but on public trackers some torrents might not download.

Since the Pi 5 supports (only) h265 hardware decoding this should be a good experience if set up that way.

Altough I'd also recommend looking into Moonlight and Sunshine.

Storing login tokens and cart information falls under "legitimate interest", which does not need consent. They just aren't allowed to use that information to do anything else with it.

I've rejected all optional cookies/tracking for many years and I've never noticed any missing functionality.

Hyprland has way more features than Sway. There's 1:1 touch gestures, animations, and per-window screen sharing. Also there's all kinds of tiling configuration available, which allows Hyprland to do manual and/or automatic tiling.

Sway's lack of features is also its advantage, because it's been the most stable and consistent window manager/compositor experience I've ever had on Linux (X and Wayland). Hyprland sometimes has its bugs, which does make sense given how young and fast-moving the project is.

There's flatpak, which is cross-distro, sandboxed, and is installed by default on most distros. It uses xdg-desktop-portals to request access to files through a desktop-provided file picker.

Sadly code editors aren't really suitable for flatpaks, since they usually require access to dependencies installed on the host. This can be worked around by using dev containers, vor the IDE has to ne developed with sandboxing in Kind (like GNOME Builder).
