and ID cards were revoked again https://www.gov.uk/identitycards
PS: ok, you're right, "some" ID is required since 2023 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-65599380 which is a pickle if you don't drive or have a passport.

Yea, I'm afraid of that, tbh, if more corpos go full elon.
PS: actually, they should be the ones afraid of the organized citizenry anyway, but we're too fragmented ideologically, spatially, communicationally, see if voting can make up for it.
Google also cut 12000 jobs in Jan 2023, but it does not have an AMD or Nvidia to kick its ass in search when it fucks up.
That's all I had, I'm not an expert, but I hope they go after FB and microsoft too (in case that makes you feel randy like that other guy in the comments) :P
As I said, lack of imagination. There is this bump in effort that has to be transposed to reach actual returns on investment because energy is too cheap and secure atm. But once that bump is transposed, there is a large landscape of gains, but they can't see past the bump.
It's interesting to combine this with trump's "I say Kamala is not black" to conclude that in their worldview, people can't just be free to determine what they are (which could be debated, I guess), but what is worst is that some special people think they have the right to determine what anyone else is and how to live their life based solely on their own whims. An aristocracy of buffoons.
And this is why nuclear powers don't start stupid wars of conquest, because if they fail (normally they fail), "nukes fly".
They removed something that I used to use: using "-word" to exclude a keyword. Apparently it is because advertisers don't want you doing that, so they turned it into a weighting. So there are features and antifeatures too. I've seen ddg do that too before, but right now it works :)
On the one hand, I hear the arguments that Europe has a higher population density, more hubs and smaller cities that make trains effective, but the same efficiencies and cost cuts can't be achieved in the US.
On the other hand, I played railroad tycoon and saw how trains and trams were extremely successful to quickly connect and develop a sparse US through efficient public intercity and in-city transport and feel disappointed with the lack of imagination 🥲
It's normal to require an ID card in EU countries to vote, but e.g. in the UK they never asked for it, as long as my name was on the list (there are no national ID cards there).
really? Is it growing that fast? I expected it would remain more niche than Linux, particularly if you need a subscription.
