source Seems like rather similar options to me?
But I have to admit to never having used either anyway.

yeah, it doesn't destroy anything on the worldwide scale.
but it weakens.

erosion is a rather perfect term for it

room temperature superconductors don't exist. (well... when/if this paper turns out to be bullshit)

High Temperature Superconductors do, and refer to the fact that they can be cooled with liquid nitrogen, and do not require liquid helium.

Several players have said they’ll exit the UK rather than exit encryption.

rightly so.

I'd assume any worldwide player couldn't be caught in compliance with this, as long as alternatives exist that don't.
This might have been enough to push EU people away from WhatsApp for example.

Depends.

If he thinks Twitter is irreperably dying, this may be a way, in which he can get out of repaying the loans he used to (partially) fund the buyout of twitter.

I didn't like the fact that for the "pc-setting" in the 8bitdo you have to use the dongle, and can't use bluetooth.
also the kingkong2 pro has exchangeable abxy buttons, so you can change them to the correct layout for the thing you're currently playing on (which may be extremely useful with the little brother, depending on his age)

Quite a while ago, I used motion.
It's fairly basic, but did all that I needed. It's standalone, so no integration with home-assistant, at least not to my memory.

Maybe an okay starting point, if no-one points out something better

But should you block people from embracing a good thing, just because you're scared they'll try to extend and extinguish?

I agree. The Beautiful thing here would be that people sick of Meta could still go to fosstodon, and they could still talk to their niece on Metas Threads.

I can't help but see that as a win for the people not on metas software.

There seems very little incentive for Meta to federate with anyone, except good faith, right?
They'll double the Fediverse Userbase in an hour, or less.

I mean, depending on how deeply the passengers were informed, I think that this should be legal.

If they actually got the information from the dissenting voices, and understood the risks, then I think it should be legal.
But I'd hazard to guess that they didn't get all the relevant info. The CEO is dead now, not sure how many other people were involved in the whole thing, so not sure who you could sue.
