The UK embassy at least was closed for renunciations most of 2020 due to COVID. They didn't reopen until halfway through last year, so maybe that year wasn't the best data point. Incidentally I know this because I paid the $2350 l

Ah yeah, that could be the difference between us. The only difference GDPR really made here is companies went from a single "Confirm" button to dozens of complicationed options plus an opt out.

Most sites don't need to know who I am to know which parts of their site are most used and/or broken. You can track app usage without tracking personal data.

I don't think that's right, I remember joking about cookie banners in the late 00s. Since GDPR they now have buttons and categories though, whereas previously we never had a choice, just a notice that cookies were in use.

Maybe with hindsight, but their main policy was/is electoral reform which would end up with more coalitions. They needed to prove coalitions can work. Funnily enough, I'd argue they managed to do that after seeing the governments

Ted Chiang has made a similar comparison, pointing out that corporations seem incapable of insight, much like the feared AI that might destroy the world: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/tedchiang/the-real-dang

fzf is an interactive tool for fuzzy-finding and will take input from stdin. For example, `ls | fzf` will allow you to search through a list of files in your working directory. It also has an optional preview pane that can be used to show t

I'm not so sure about your last statement: what's considered "acceptable" is always changing so you might be right, but I think there's always been people out there trying to block things so I'm not convinced t

I don't have time nor the information to second-guess possible future motivations of every company in a supply chain before buying a product. Most people won't even realise Google provide the software for a lot of these products.

The dot might be easy to remember, but the cmd+shift bit isn't for me. Mac shortcuts can be cmd+shift, or ctrl+shift, or ctrl+cmd, or just cmd, or sometimes there's an opt in there as well. After using a Macbook for work for 4 yea

Personally I've not found that, I used Tune My Music to sync across 140 playlists of probably 10k songs from Spotify and not many came up as "not available". I have found their library for children's profiles more limite

Spotify has a dedicated kids app for those with a family plan, it's one thing I miss from my subscription. However the interface is basically the same as the full version so maybe the developers think adults use apps in the same way as

I gave up on my Spotify subscription of 13 years because of this. The interface kept changing and making it more difficult to use. All I want is to listen to albums and Daily Mixes, and keeping up with all their unrelated app changes became

Of course he wants people in the office, not just at Tesla but all companies. He's not exactly going to be happy about more remote-friendly companies while owning a car company. Or more pithily: "Man who owns car company encourage

Of course it's not certain -- it's a model. It's based on existing plans, not current behaviour, which is the only data you can realistically draw predictions from. As governments implement further policies the model can be u

According to Ukraine's energy minister and an economic advisor in this article[1], gas is paid for in Euros and Germany could block the transfer to Roubles. > We propose that the Europeans continue to pay for pipeline-delivered gas

The imperative is reducing carbon output. Reducing usage is the simplest, most reliable way of doing that so I find it hard to blame people who push that approach. On the other hand, if anyone wants to use more energy the onus is on them to

I don't think it's disingenuous, because there's a material difference between the approaches in 2011 and 2016. In 2011 we had no doubt about what we were voting on, Parliament had already debated it. In 2016 the vote was had

You could say that about any law though. It was as legally binding as anything else Parliament passes.

Parliament can pass the bill before the referendum, for example in the AV referendum. The great benefit doing it that way is the voters will be clear about what's being voted on.

I use Android's share function to add links via the Wallabag app. Would that solve what you're trying to do?

I also take the lane a lot to avoid dangerous passes and don't like the entitlement of needing to drive at least the speed limit. However I do think more infrastructure's required, but mainly for a reason not mentioned here: safer

Ctrl+D is great, but will still run a command if it's been typed out so I always Ctrl+C and then Ctrl+D.

I use Yabai without disabling SIP. It basically means some of the functionality won't work, but the main tiling stuff still works great. For me, the main feature that won't work without disabling SIP is commands to manipulate spac

Picking a country like the UK who have stats available would be fine then, but suggesting it's a better case scenario with that comment about culture is just trying to skew the conclusion. It doesn't help that the stats show a mas

This guy is wrong when he says the UK "has a culture of commuting on two wheels." We have a huge problem with cycle infrastructure, as evidenced by the stats he presents. Ok, London's probably decent but transport everywhere

It was The Times that fired Boris Johnson for lying, The Telegraph hired him after that. They have gone off the deep end though. Some good coverage of The Telegraph's fall in standards is Peter Oborne's resignation letter: https:
