For me that wasn't enough, I added:

    Host *
        SetEnv TERM=xterm-256color
        SendEnv COLORTERM TERM_PROGRAM TERM_PROGRAM_VERSION

Smallest model download is 6 GB. I'd rather store a collection of relevant ebooks.

I'm finally getting Ubuntu updates now (both on 22.04 and 26.04 that I've tested so far -- edit: 24.04 as well confirmed).

I get you. I used to buy Nexus devices as well as some of the first Pixels, until at some point the prices shot up to ridiculous levels for a phone and I went with other brands.

Last year though the Pixel 8a was selling for 350€ and I got one. Luckily, given the recent developments. Will be installing GrapheneOS.

Same. I've been working with and managing thousands of WP sites for over a decade and the only issues I've had have been with sites acquired from 3rd parties with random themes and plugins (and old WP versions) that break if you update something. Those have gotten hacked and have caused many headaches.

Basically no issues with sites built in-house. As you say, only reputable 3rd party plugins (like for SEO, caching, multilang) most others made in-house.

Can't you do that editing with EmDash..?

> Or you could pass an EU Constitution that enshrines basic rights including privacy

That, and (somehow) enforce the basic principles of subsidiarity and proportionality, which they are supposed to do already. That would go a long way towards not misusing that centralized power.

I will have to read up on that 2005 event, sounds weird to me that countries would complain about there being constitutional rights at the EU level. Not sure how those rights would conflict with local ones. Unless there were positive rights, like "the right to internet" or the like, which would be ridiculous and not what I'm proposing (just basic negative rights).

> Sensationalist framing aside, how does any government become a body that decides anything?

Powerful people get together and decide that they know what's best for people. Then they claim that there is "consent" because people are given the right to vote and that there is a "social contract" that no one actually has signed, which everyone should still abide by.

What you're describing is how the process in the EU works. So in essence it is "the EU".

It doesn't seem to have any limits or restrictions on what it can do as an institution. It forced idiotic bottlecaps on all of us for shit's sake... and it has little consideration for privacy laws or constitutions of individuals, otherwise this proposal would've been thrown out automatically each time, if there was anything resembling constitutional values governing the EU's mandates.

It's like being governed by a neurotic unhinged monarch.

Problem is that once you've gotten this thing through to begin with it's comparatively easy to make slight amendments later, also of course with the justification of "protecting the children".

Yeah this is the gist of it. Cloudflare provides an important service that is quite challenging to implement by yourself.

It doesn't change anything with their higher tier sales. Those are bought for a reason that a lower tier device cannot satisfy.

My worry (from Apple's POV) is that all the people who buy the cheapest Mac (currently for $1k) will instead go for this new "base model". And I suspect there's a large cohort of people who "just want a Mac".

Very much so. I still have my M1 bought in 2021, haven't felt like there is any need to upgrade to any of the newer ones.
