I honestly prefer Firefox forks that switch off all the telemetry.

Mozilla recently becomes more and more greedy in terms of breaking down privacy.

Practically almost all people got highly manipulated into having no hobby's or interests in their free time. They will find no use for a 4 day week not will they see any advantages.

Galileo offers cryptographic protection (OSNMA) of their positioning data. So not spoofable. For free.

There are enough space radars so that you can passively listen to the reflections of almost every satellite.

Just pointing to the Graves Radar in France whose frequency and beam pattern is precisely known to the public.

I'm a surf photographer and rely on my camera automatics a lot. They are allowed to move freely within defined limits.

99% of my pictures are technically fine.

I only use full manual if the picture job needs it.

Most of the time setting the aperture is enough (and the camera allows to set the exposure time and ISO automatically, but set limits which to automatics is not allowed to cross). On the other side action/sport photography is mostly shutter time bound - then the other side around.

So my question: how's the industrial production of Europe or even then all western countries over that timespan using the same metrics?

They have 400 GBit/s of DTAG transit.
