The council is made up by national governments, directly or indirectly elected in elections which typically have far higher participation and better media coverage than the EU parliament elections. I like the EU and I agree that the parliam

Interesting about the US senate! I'm not sure that an EU member state can unilaterally make a similar decision though. The treaty is pretty clear that the council is made up by government ministers: > Citizens are directly represent

The council, where all member states are represented, will vote on this. It's basically like the senate in the US, except the states are represented by ministers instead of elected senators.

The problem here is that we just aren’t cut out to understand delayed consequences. The society we build today decided co2 levels tens of years into the future, affecting temperature for yet more years into the future, affecting society for

The model didn’t _assume_ business as usual. It explained the consequences of business as usual.

But the models aren’t wrong. They’re surprisingly accurate. Some media reporting has been alarmist, choosing absolute worst cases and stating them as fact. But in general, the changes we’ve seen so far are in line with predictions and there

They can bully the open sourcerer into adding a backdoor to the code, then use that backdoor without you noticing.

Tweetdeck specifically still seems to be working - but since that’s an alternative first-party client it’s an exceptional case.

My point was that the possibility to side load apps is becoming mandatory, and that that possibility comes with a risk. I don’t think people will be forced to side load things, sorry if I didn’t express myself properly

What does full-featured mean to you? There’s a bunch of non-google Android distros that seem full featured to me. Same with Sailfish, at least when I last used it some years ago. No big corporate support, less commercial apps packaged by de

Time in this regard is similar to money, or other things you have a limited amount of. You can very well say “I can’t afford that” or “I don’t have money enough to buy that” even if you technically have money in the bank enough to pay for s
