Well, in this case of 1 000 000 downloads, that would make a 50 000 dollar difference. Not really something 'little'.

Nonetheless, experts expect the final agreement to be revealed by the end of March as the Parliament is pushing to close all the open legislative processes before the upcoming European elections scheduled in June.

So basically, the law's unlikely to change much before being pushed to vote, which considering how stupid it is, it's likely to be outright rejected like Chat Control by the Parliement.

Still, it's good to raise awareness on the issue.

Oof. And that would have been such a good law too...

Then again, with a name like FDP, their actions just conform to their patronym (at least in countries with a language based on latin).

That's great news! Always hated those paywalled research papers and greedy publishers who get away with freaking 100% royalty. Hopefully other organisations will follow.

In which case the ban should have happened upon sharing not recording. I mean if it isn't clear that the records you make of singleplayer offline games are published online, then banning someone for what they record feels more like moral policing than anything else tbh.

(tbf that's not a really high bar. These companies ask writers to NOT take any risk with their writing so to not "rock the boat" so to speak)

The only mitm that can be done is at the server itself or in a website pretending to be the requested server. But for this to work, you need to have the private and public keys of the server you want to act like.

Maybe I misunderstand what you're saying, but since the wide majority of EU citizens use their ISP's DNS, it's trivial for them to mandate a domain redirection to another server which would act as a proxy of the original (and thus only need the original server's public key).

So far, the only protection we have against that are:

  1. Changing DNS (WAY too complicated for the average user, also brings the DNS' own contry's censorship)
  2. The fact that they wouldn't have a valid certificate for it because any sensible CA would see it for what it is: a MITM.

That's why, to my understanding, this is such a big deal. At any point, ANY EU gov (and I want to emphasis that part because ot's important in the context of tjhs law) can request a change of DNS from their ISP's DNS (many already do right now) and emit a fully trusted certificate for the domain they want to MITM.

TL,PL : Oui.

Je deteste les articles qui ont une question dans le titre.

... until the EU and maybe even the US rolls around and slaps Microsoft with an antitrust lawsuit. Sounds like a best case scenario :D

In Europe, next year, every phone will need to use usb-c. Since you're probably not using multiple phones at once, having more than one charger is a waste of BOTH ressources and money. Having the charger separate BUT with the price included in the phone's (because let's be realistic, there is no such thing as 'free' in the mobile market, just fees you don't see) would just raise the phone's price for everyone (including myself).

So I'll have to disagree. Having the phone NOT bundled with a charger is fighting both an economical and environemental waste.

Lineage is the oldest one (Divest and /e/ are forks of it). Calyx has a focus on security and privacy (comes with a free VPN with no signup requires). Currzntly Calyx is based on Android 13, even on the Fairphone 4 which doesn't have it supportes. I son't know enough about iodé to comment about it though.

La difference est assez simple: le Canada, c'est 40 millions d'habitants, l'Union Européenne, c'est un demi milliard. Forcement qu'une grosse entreprise du numerique a plus de pression sur elle pour respecter la loi quand elle ne peut pas se permettre de quitter un marché.
