While I have no doubt that the EU has corrupt politicians, It’s no where as visibly bad as it is in the US. Most of the people who could bring this forward get something out of what he is doing or contributing to them, and they would rather turn a blind eye than risk losing whatever he is giving them.
For some it’s helping out their base, for others its something more monetary.
There are mechanisms there, but they only work when the people watching them are invested in helping the citizens.

That’s definitely a part of it. All of the MS web platforms rely heavily on first and third party cookies. You can’t even log in properly to Teams if your browser is in incognito/private mode.

As someone who is not LGBTQ+ but is trying to understand it myself, the biggest key to “getting it” is separating sex and gender. Sex would be your biological make up, regardless of genital configuration. That’s your classic XX vs XY vs the rare “non-standard”. It’s important to note that there are multiple types of different physical configurations that are “male or female” - Anatomical, Hormonal, Chromosomal, and Cellular - and they frequently do not line up 100%.

Gender is separate from this as a mental construct/thought pattern. For most people, these two things line up, and that is your standard Cis person. A Trans person is where their mental configuration does not match their physical configuration. When this causes significant mental distress we call it gender dysphoria. For the rest, we call it being Trans, non-Binary or something else.

Isn’t that where they would receive the best treatment for themselves? Aren’t gender pronouns useful when distinguishing between biological differences in the medical field?

Why would there be a difference between gendered wards in the quality of the care? Health care is tailored to the patient, where in the hospital they are located shouldn’t affect it.

Aside from the standard dark patterns and extraneous, feature-forcing bloat, I really dislike that flat-design trend. Not just does it look kinda bad, but everything is so physically bloated to try to separate it from everything else that you get notably less usable screen space resulting in annoyingly little information density.

Back a long time ago when I worked as a cashier, it was store policy for us to bag everything for the customer. They could offer to bag, but we were expected to just start bagging automatically unless they interjected.

I’m pretty sure that is his point, the microblogging on kbin was not a draw to make him choose it over lemmy.

While I do use a USB-C phone, the thing I miss most about the audio jack is a wired audio connection that doesn’t remove charging or require a separately purchased dongle.

not just sent through, but indefinitely stored on the cloud server, despite advertising that it was not cloud-connected. It also generated facial-recognition based IDs for people which was also stored, and every single device could be connected to through an non-authorized connection request from VLC player.

Those are Rookie numbers. Got 67 tabs on mobile, and 6ish windows with 30-50 on my laptop. Not sure how many are on my desktop, but it’s spread across 3 browsers.

You mean it wasn’t because of the rampant sexism, sexual harassment, enforcement of China’s policies outside of China, and general shittyness of the company?

Tone down the maliciousness a bit, and Trump would be a good inspiration for Alpha Complex’s Friend Computer.
