<p>I have read at least a dozen strips of Dinosaur Comics, but only one at a time. (Mostly end up there through the link on xkcd)<p>Until I read your comment I have never noticed that the artwork of the strips is indeed <i>exactly</i> the same and only the text differs between strips.
Wonderful stuff!</p>

<p>The subheading of the proposal is, not surprisingly, "laying down rules to prevent and combat child sexual abuse".

<p>I also have been using since beta, and agree with you. For me, the ability to boost and block certain domains is a killer feature. (There are probably solutions for other services, but to have it built-in is great.)<p>For developer-related queries I`m pleased with the results!</p>

<p>Agreed! It has taken me so much time to get accustomed to Finder.
Often it is just the command line and then `open <path>`if finder is needed.<p>There are some shortcuts to make Finder usage more enjoyable:<p>- Shift+Command+H go to Home<p>- Command+Up go to parent folder<p>- Command+Down go in to selected folder<p>- Shift+Command+G go to written path<p>Also Option+Command+P toggles "Path Bar" at the bottom of the window</p>

<p>Recommend checking out the SailfishOS[0] by Jolla. I have daily driven it on Xperia XA2 and XA10 II and it works "well enough" and is mostly open [1]. I have bought the OS so  the phone has Android app support. This review resembles my experiences well [2].<p>E: I noticed that currently purchasing SailfishOS from outside ofl Europe is "prohibited" according to the purchase page. That is a bummer for non-europeans.<p>[0] <a href="https://sailfishos.org/" rel="nofollow">https://sailfishos.org/</a><p>[1] <a href="https://sailfishos.org/info/" rel="nofollow">https://sailfishos.org/info/</a><p>[2] <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbYPoiZh8wg&t=150" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbYPoiZh8wg&t=150</a></p>

<p>> Typically something that is of "public interest", e.g the highest earners.<p>Oh okay, so then it is pretty similar than in Finland!</p>

<p>Interesting to read about the Norway's system! I would guess that "If you search for anyone, they can see that you did" is pretty fair but can hinder one's curiosity for searching the information.<p>Also interesting that public lists for media is no longer distributed. How have media outlets taken this?<p>Here in Finland Tax office publishes lists of all over 100k earners to media and they are published as public lists online [0]. In addition to that, anyone's income information can be accessed at tax offices or by phone, so this does not leave a trace [1].<p>After GDPR, one is allowed to prevent one's information to be released to media by objecting to this. However media can still access and release your data via phone or tax office's computer [2] and in 2021 media outlets won a case in Administrative Court where they can also get a list of those who objected [3]. So basically after tax records go public, journalists just take this list and make the calls.<p>But yeah, as SP mentioned, this is very different approach than in the link of this thread.<p>[0]: (in Finnish) <a href="https://www.is.fi/verotiedot/" rel="nofollow">https://www.is.fi/verotiedot/</a><p>[1]: <a href="https://www.vero.fi/en/About-us/finnish-tax-administration/data-security-and-information-access/public-information-on-taxes/public-information-on-individual-income-taxes/" rel="nofollow">https://www.vero.fi/en/About-us/finnish-tax-administration/d...</a><p>[2]: <a href="https://www.vero.fi/en/About-us/finnish-tax-administration/data-security-and-information-access/public-information-on-taxes/public-information-on-individual-income-taxes/you-are-entitled-to-object-to-the-electronic-transfer-of-2020-data-to-the-mass-media/" rel="nofollow">https://www.vero.fi/en/About-us/finnish-tax-administration/d...</a><p>[3]: <a href="https://yle.fi/news/3-11893060" rel="nofollow">https://yle.fi/news/3-11893060</a></p>

<p>IMHO greatness comes from the community.<p>A mental checklist when looking for one  (not necessarily in this order)<p><pre><code>  Need:
  - good internet
  - own desk
  - place to securely store laptop after hours
  - fridge
  -  phone booth / meeting room

  Plus:
  - coffee, tee etc.
  - tableware, washing machine, someone to operate it
  - 24/7 access
  - printing</code></pre></p>
