EU commission, really. That's the only way

Spoken like someone who clearly doesn't work in finance.

The numpad is essential for my work. You're not seeing it from the perspective of myself who uses it as a calculator with automatic text entry while producing documents and estimations. That is my job, and it requires the numpad/calculator layout.

Not at the same speed or ferocity, no.

The problem is, we are increasingly a minority. The majority of people now see nothing wrong with using default browsers and apps, they see ads as completely normal, they trust Google, tiktok, etc with no issues.

Bear in mind whereas I grew up with what I call the golden age of the internet, late 90s to late 00s, those today know nothing different than the internet as it is now. I've tried explaining this to people before - the response is always indifference. Apply that to the countless millions (billions?!) of mainstream users worldwide. It's sad, but it's how it is.

I honestly think the only way this is going to be stopped is if and when the EU commission step in.

Didn't help when one flew up behind us on a narrow pavement, no warning, smashed into my best mate and broke his leg. If it was my daughter it would have killed her. This is one instance among almost daily occurances of near misses when I'm walking of cunts on e-bikes and e-scooters speeding with zero care on narrow pedestrian walkways that are already NOT suitable for pushbikes, let alone anything else. Why not use the fucking road?!

They need to be fucking controlled and serious penalties brought in for those who use these without care for others.

He's a cunt just like Johnson was a cunt and I'd have the same opinion if I were fucking blind. Skin colour means shit.

But I live in a rural English town where the most exciting thing that happens is the elderly folk fighting over who has control over the flowers near the rectory. Are you saying they are russian agents? For real?

Edit: and now you've edited your post, making mine seem like nonsense.
