That's apparently extremely hard in the era of SUVs and huge tablet displays... At least for the second there is some pushback

As an owner of an ID3, it's a great car. But I also find it very expensive, especially if you are looking for things that I would now consider basic (like the rear camera, that is optional on a minimum 30k€ car). And don't get me started that you have to pay to "unlock" more HP on your car (that is just a small piece of software).

While I cannot agree on having to prove your identity online, this is ON PAPER better than what individual governments are doing right now (from what I know, I may be wrong though). I still don't like it and think it's a bad idea in general, but if EU countries are going to implement it in any case, at least it's better to have something that protects your anonymity both ways (the government cannot see and track what your are visiting, and the sites cannot see and track your identity).

BUT, this is in paper. We will have to see the actual implementation.

And I would much rather not have anything like this (but good luck with all the far right parties that are being pushed right now...).

Have a Kindle Paperwhite (1st gen). Have send over USB, through Calibre - software, never used the web one -, books and documents in various formats. Never had an issue.

Yes, because I find hard memorizing a lot of symbols before becoming capable of minimal reading proficiency.

As a person that also lives in northern Italy, and that have a girlfriend with a series on food intolerances, I can confirm with what OP already said. If you are celiac you can find options now days (obviously much more if you live in a city). If you are lactose intolerant you can also find options (Italy is also a place where lots of cheese is consumed, and many recipes involve some kind of cheese or cream). If you are both at the same time, well that's where problem starts appearing.

If by any chance you also got a vegan in the group well it's better to just cook yourself (obviously exaggerating but still your options of places may be very limited).

All this to say: you can find options now (when I was a kid it was unheard of), either with big restaurants/pizzerias that have a double kitchen, or with dedicated places that are fully gluten free.

Tried it in the past but ultimately abandoned it, as then release numbers lost all added meaning. I can remember what happened in release 2.0.0 or (kinda) 3.5.0, but what the hell was release 2025.02.15? Why did it break this random function?

I mean, gaining power is always the incentive, whatever the society. In a capitalistic one people pursue profit as a mean to get power, take away capitalism and bad actors will find other ways, it's not that before capitalism was invented imperialism didn't exist...

Bold claim. Before making the jump to TS, I had used JSDoc extensively for a few years. While it does work as a replacement, it is extremely clunky, and if you use VSCode you sometimes had to fight with the implementation of JSDoc specs in intellisense... Not sure if it got better recently.

Occasionally, when cooking pasta. But I eat it always very al dente, so in kind of used. And every time if I make gnocchi. Raw gnocchi are as good as cooked!
