Um... Did you read the article? It's about moving their EU Headquarters from Ireland to the Netherlands. GDPR applied before and after. This is specifically about Irish censorship requirements.

Have a look at how some early apple varieties looked like, before they were cultivated:

Paywalled, anyone got an archive link?

Didn't know they released season 3 yet, that's up on the watch list for next week now!

Yeah but every 180 days they deactivate your balance and you have to log in to enable it again. Annoying.

Same in Germany, so I just got a free credit card from Advanzia Bank in Luxembourg. As long as you pay the bill on the due date (via bank transfer, which is free in the EU), there are no fees and charges whatsoever.

No you don't. The name field is optional. If your bank requires you to fill something in, their app/system hasn't been updated to comply with EU banking regulations. I'd simply write Not Applicable from now on. Or Mickey Mouse.

Hence it only applies in the US.

That article is a wild mix of paranoia and conspiracy theories.

Never expected to read about burning witches, Kill Bill, covid, and government control in one setting.

I guess the author has some good intentions, but the way he presents his stuff makes him seen like a crazy person.

And most of the cons aren't inherently negative.

That sounds a bit like "The Prince in Waiting" by John Christopher (more famous for "The Tripods"), it's a trilogy also set in the distant future after a nuclear war, where all machines have been outlawed and humans exist alongside dwarfs and mutants. Over the course of the trilogy, the protagonists (living in fairly alright areas) venture deeper into more and more radiated areas and encounter grotesque stuff.

I like the bot, and I also hate amp links and url forwarders that can literally take you anywhere but where it's supposed to.

I never used any ranged weapon in the game, did I miss out?
