<p>I think it's nearly impossible to explain the benefit of not seeing such a popup to most people.<p>It comes down to the joy of doing things, and if the joy of using said monitor depends on a popup not being shown, then so be it.<p>I hope that the popup can be removed :)</p>

<p>More often than not, what matters is transforming a  concept into working code that is good enough.<p>The easier part is maintaining and tweaking that code, but do not underestimate the value of the former.</p>

<p>In general not really, but I do understand why it's a bit underwhelming to buy the clock upfront.<p>With that said, the project is really cool and showcases the different watch faces well. For me that's the most interesting part, not how I construct a round LCD screen.</p>

<p>Well, of course politicians will try and hide what the law is about, so I find it necessary to clearly communicate what this legislation is about.<p>CSAM hides behind an acronym and seems benign at first, but taking away the citizens right to private chats is anything but that.</p>

<p>Indeed, reusing "Chat Control" and giving it a new meaning is a surefire way to cause confusion.<p>And the underhanded way of trying to get something as controversial as this to pass, says a lot about the politicians pushing this agenda.<p>Chat Control is about allowing mass surveillance and removing privacy, no should be the obvious answer here.</p>

<p>Given the current state of the Chrome family of browsers and the anti adblocker stance from Google, i'd think that alone would guarantee Firefox a steady user base.<p>Not sure how users cope with Chrome-based browsers and intrusive ads.</p>

<p>Also missing (I think) are anecdotes about previous experiences involving famous people or just memorable moments in history.<p>Also comments where the poster shares details from their own life instead of just commenting on the topic.<p>But I can't really describe this "human Factor" any better than through examples.</p>

<p>Really spooky, all comments are LLM based and something certainly feels off, but can't quite put my finger on what it is.<p>I think it has to do with comments that doesnt really comment on the previous comment.<p>Certainly one of the more interesting uses of LLMs in a while.</p>

<p>Well said, ideally action comes first and then these actions can be communicated.<p>But in the real world, you have words ie. commitment before actions and a conclusion.<p>Best of luck to them.</p>

<p>It should be put into law, that when you buy something, you have the right to do with it what you want for personal use.<p>In the present case, Amazon clearly states that the customer is buying a book, so it should work the same way as buying a physical book.<p>One solution would be to buy a DRM free digital version.</p>

<p>I understand the metaphor, but there is a huge difference between a D&D player and an entity such as a government.<p>For starters the government is not in the habit of releasing these new powers, once it's established it will stay for a very, very long time.<p>And you can be sure the new powers will be used in unintended ways, which the citizens will have a hard time blocking.<p>So it's actually very simple: No to Chatcontrol, now and forever.</p>
