This is the standard across Europe outside of a few metropoles (really is there anywhere else in Europe outside Paris & London that does this?)

I disagree, enforcement on data laws in the EU is extremely lacklustre.

i tested it right now, if autocomplete is turned off or not used the line doesn't get added. generating a commit msg also doesn't trigger it for some reason.

Adds this line to the commit:

This only happens on commits where autocomplete (via Copilot) was used, which I think is on by default.

Still that doesn't seem very reasonable, LLM autocomplete seems like a basic editor feature nowadays.

This seems to only raise issues about taxes but none about the bureaucracy side?

Couldn’t you make a pseudo monorepo via git submodules?

This would be unfortunately a rather nuclear option due to the continent’s insane reliance on technology that breaks its unenforced laws.

Weird product page, why would you put the number of member states and residents Europe has in your „feature“ section?

I think they are simply referring to analytical workloads.

Meta is so driven by it though that it alone holds more than 5 of the 10 largest GDPR fines.

I'm not sure how attacking Greenland would accomplish the goal of more European spending on US weapons.

Some, by working for companies (big tech) that have given little resistance to trump but rather funded his ball room, etc. Sadly, everyone quitting those companies would not really be a reasonable solution either, though there are more possible actions than that

Well it does change if you have more of a choice than reject all or allow all (without needing to go into complicated settings each time). Telemetry is not that unpopular - I'd like devs to fix bugs I encounter.

This extension gives you more choice than denying or allowing everything though, you get granular choice automatically applied to all websites where it works
