It's actually a mistake done in a hurry, according to a comment by the author of the post below.

Maybe, and? Do you believe it can change and/or has the right to change?

The conference's page does not try to pretend that it's all shiny and perfect right now. Quoting:

Hosting this summit in a major coal port, in the world’s fifth-largest coal producer, sends a powerful message: fossil-fuel-dependent nations want to end their dependence on oil, gas, and coal extraction, but doing so fairly requires unprecedented international cooperation so that no one is left behind.

Thanks for your comment. I'm still only learning how legislation in the EU works. However, so far I haven't been able to confirm what you're saying. Could you help if you know? (I assume not only me, but possibly other readers, too)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_of_the_European_Union

Here it doesn't say (almost) anything about "trade". Admittedly I've only read 2-3 pages and then used Ctrl+F to search on the rest of the page though.. Is it a de-facto split between the legislative powers of the Council and the Parliament? Where to read about it?

Noteworthy, Librewolf pre-disables the AI nonsense for you. (Local offline translations, the only actually useful feature that uses LLMs, is kept.)

F-Droid has a copy of the source code I assume.

Why this strange link to vger.to? It just redirects to https://lemmy.world/post/1433287 and serves no purpose that I would understand.

It's not a full ending yet. It's a local win. But the possibility for the proposed "voluntary" surveillance is still discussed. We need to push until April 2026 to make sure this sh*t doesn't get through in any shape or form.

I've also edited the post slightly, adding a TL&DR; on top.

To be fair, 1. Yes, it exists. 2. Please direct your anger towards the source of the problem. That being, I believe, neglect and under-funding. If these factors are at fault, then they also should get under scrutiny.

BTW, on a funny note, I've seen a video how in the Netherlands they've put a whole tunnel under a highway in a single night. We need dat type of skill - and yes, money - put to rail maintenance too!.

Something to keep in mind is that Slint is not an Open-Source project. If you'll want to improve Slint you'll have to give away your contribution under the MIT No Attribution License (MIT-0) license, yet if and when you'll want to use Slint, you can get it as a paid or GPLv3 license.

In my mind this is more of a ~~proprietary project~~ closed development model (EDIT for correctness, see comment below). The development model is not around freedom and equal rights, with the project being able to stop giving you access under any open-source license whatsoever, all while continuing to use your contributions.

It's not unfair. In fact, it might be a great project. Just not open-source as a project overall, if you care about this.

It's notable that the article focuses heavily on the eco impact. However, that's only half of the story. The other half is how enjoyable cities can be when public transport complements cars and bicycles. Being on the street becomes actually nice. Your kids can bike to school themselves and not die on the first intersection. That sort of stuff. It's absolutely amazing to live in countries/cities that mastered this

With respect to 2FA, if you want to be more ready for any future next time, you could migrate to an open-source TOTP app. E.g. andOTP. I use this one, it's fine. The underlying standards don't change in decades, so you can choose any compatible client and be without trouble for years and years. And it may be good to do in any case, googlified phone or not. Good apps also tend to provide password-protected backups.

I have no knowledge about RCS though, never used it so can't tell. Otherwise GrapheneOS user for ~2 years, before that LineageOS, before that CopperheadOS for another few years.

I'm not sure what the point of the post is? Is it to share frustration? Searching for a solution? Sorry, I may be not good at inferring this, but I don't get it.

IF you are in solution-finding mode, then there are a few things that you can do.

1. You can use those banks that work without google. I've found 2 in the Netherlands, for example. One of them stopped working a while ago, I've wrote about that to their support and had to discontinue, withdrawing all my funds using a Dutch procedure for full withdrawal from a bank. After half a year or so I've noticed they've fixed it and work without google again. I've returned as well (it's convenient for me to have 2 banks). I'm sure as hell banks watch for their usage statistics and wouldn't like seeing people leave their bank if it can be fixed with a simple reversal of whatever the dev team did lately.
2. You could try Linux phones such as PinePhone to see which use cases can it already cover. 30%? 70%? 90%? You'll know what to even wait for in the Linux landscape to be able to switch. You'll get a bit of power or mental control if you acquire this knowledge.
3. Funnily, you can expect some good news coming from all those fights between US and China, because that makes a LOT of devices ship without google services. And some people in your county (I assume it's not China, otherwise you wouldn't have these problems) may have phones bought there, so you won't be alone when pushing for such changes.
