(...) the internet went down across the country. A wave of cyberattacks left all systems on hold for more than seven days. First, the main national websites failed, from the official news site to the booking page of the national airline. Then, the Asian state’s connections with the rest of the world were interrupted. Emails could not be sent or received; there was no connection to cloud services. The blockade was complete.

Note the vote was withdrawn, not actually voted against. They're pushing this for a later date because there was no majority.

“The EU Council did not make a decision on chat control today, as the agenda item was removed due to the lack of a majority, (...)

Belgium’s draft law, (...) was instead postponed indefinitely. (...) Belgium cannot currently present a proposal that would gain a majority. In July, the Council Presidency will transfer from Belgium to Hungary, which has stated its intention to advance negotiations on chat control as part of its work program.

This is subjective. I think it could be something like two check boxes in settings:

  • Enable hearts?
  • Enable up/down votes?

(I'm not complaining, works for me as is. Just trying for some constructive criticism.)

I've been drinking a lot of coffee lattely and I don't even like coffee. It's just that I add a lot of milk to it so it tastes kind of decent.

I'm on my way to my fifth ~~cup~~ mug today.

I've also recently developed an inability to fall asleep at night as quickly as I used to. I should probably go back to tea but every time I try I hear the coffee jar whispering in my ear "come to me or you'll regret it" and since I'm not a confrontational individual I kind of just go with it.

Ah, so it's kind of like EncroChat! 🤔

I enabled the option and after reopening the app GIFs play but only after I click them.

Click image, which zooms to occupy full screen, and GIF plays. Go back to thread by closing image and it stops again. \ So basically it plays when full screen but not inline.

The day I'm forced to watch YouTube ads is the day I'll stop using it.

Google uses tax avoidance schemes and I use ad avoidance schemes.

Bad title.

Powerful people abusing their position to take advantage of others is, sadly, not unusual.

An extension would allow me to use FF as I usually do for all sites except for list-of-blocked-sites-in-EU that the extension would work its magic on to allow data through. Also, I wouldn't have to look for a secure proxy myself and it would work (hopefully) on FF for mobile devices.

(Right now I'm using Tor which was already suggested in a different comment. The effort of having to open Tor is small but I was wondering whther an extension like Censor Tracker existed.)

I suppose a proxy could work. Ideally I would have multiple proxies working within the same profile like

  • Proxy 1 for websites A, B, C (uni proxy so I can access papers)
  • Proxy 2 for websites E, F, G (Russia proxy so I can read EU-blocked stuff)
  • Rest goes unproxied.

That's what I have been using. More often than not I get exit nodes that allow the propaganda through.

Any similar extensions to bypass EU censorship?

As far as we know we could have a lot in common with elephants.

Pedro II de Portugal oferece elefante africano a Luís XIV de França. O presente é alimentado a sopa, pão e vinho.

A diplomatic gift from Portugal in 1668, this elephant was a female from the Congo.

It is known that she was fed daily with 80 pounds of bread, 12 litres of wine, a large portion of vegetable soup with bread and rice, and grass at will.
