Not by default, IIRC, and the integration is still marked as experimental - so just what the readme is saying.

There is - they’re working together with France, the Netherlands, and Italy: https://www.sovereign.tech/press/edic-digital-commons

Well, to be fair, it’s the US pushing for it. The EU might merely be rolling over. (But also, hopefully hasn’t done so yet, as per another comment.)

Lentil pasta.

Exactly, and the worst thing is that that’s kind of the point: people don’t like there being so many little parties. So apparently then it’s OK to take away the vote of people who vote for them?

100%. Every now and again people keep bringing up the idea of introducing a hurdle in the Netherlands as well, and I’m always strongly opposed. It doesn’t even do what people expect it to, and there are other ways to achieve that goal too.

The last one was the traffic light coalition, right? Red (SPD), yellow (FDP) and green (Greens)?

coalition of even more parties.

Even more than two?

As a Dutch person, haha. (I don’t actually mind broad coalitions though.)

Surprise, in ten more (Chinese) electric car companies will have an even further lead, and the job losses happen anyway!

It seems like those factors would be the same within Norway and outside.

I think he did, but I’m not sure if he called that out explicitly. Basically the recommendation is: yeah, try it, but also, all the power it gives you can make you go off the deep end. Don’t fall for the trap of trying to build your own editing software.

Shows that when you sign away your right to democracy, it’s really hard to get it back.

NixOS I wouldn’t recommend to a beginner (maybe Nixbook, I’m not familiar), but Fedora Silverblue: holy hell maintenance is so low-effort. Major version upgrades are literally the same level of effort as regular updates, and take about as long. And they’re waaaaay less likely to break than conventional major upgrades. I’d recommend that to beginners and advanced users alike.

Also sounds like these were just municipal elections, or am I reading that incorrectly?

The main problem with CSAM is not you encountering it, the problem is children being abused when producing it. Whether the material produced reaches a wide audience doesn’t impact their suffering. So what’s relevant is the scale at which it’s being produced, which I think is fairly independent of the likelihood of you encountering it without looking for it.

There’s some more information about this and some other cases in this Dutch article from a while ago. It also mentions that they are still likely to have the option of migrating as a skilled worker or entrepreneur, but they considered requesting political asylum to be the correct route for now.

You can’t, it’s no longer end-to-end encrypted. The way proponents say it works is by “client-side scanning”, i.e. an app scans messages before they are encrypted. Of course, that just redefines one of the ends of “end-to-end encryption” - instead of you, the scanner is now one of the ends.

So previously, one end of a message trajectory’s is where you type it, it then gets encrypted and sent to the receiving party (the other end), who can decrypt and read it. After Chat Control, you type it, it then goes to the scanner, which scans it and potentially notifies a third party of the content, and then afterwards it gets encrypted and sent to the receiver, who can then decrypt it.

Yes, calling that end-to-end encryption is indeed a perversion of the term.

I believe it mostly does translations of Dutch news articles, usually nos.nl, but FD in this case it seems.

I mean, it’ll be harder to search for “burger” on my supermarket’s website to find vegetarian alternatives to burgers. They’ll get more expensive because they have to relabel things. And my EP representatives have to waste their time on this instead of important issues.

They’ll also still have a minority in the Senate, is that right?
