From Wikipedia:

The imperial pint (≈ 568 mL) is used in Ireland, the United Kingdom, and other Commonwealth countries. In the United States, two kinds of pint are used: a liquid pint (≈ 473 mL) and a less common dry pint (≈ 551 mL).

Swifties would disagree.

“For personal or political reasons” means as a form of boycott or similar. Not to stop hacking or other abuse, not for legal or cost reasons, but just because of personal animosity towards a country.

This makes sense for a website for a commercial service. This question is more about personal blogs, FLOSS project websites, or other similar websites that could be equally useful to people from all countries.

European government officials and institutions (on all levels) should at least stop using Twitter to communicate with people.

Not if an app uses Play Integrity. The entire purpose of Play Integrity is to not work on anything that is not a Google-certified OS.

It’s not just cards. Many banks today require using a mobile app for online banking, and those apps require an Apple- or Google-certified device and an Apple or Google account. While it is possible to open those accounts under a false name (the apps are free so you don’t need to enter payment info), this is still an absurd amount of leverage the US has on everyday people’s activities in other countries.

My Organic Maps alternative is CoMaps https://www.comaps.app/.

Some context: https://itsfoss.com/news/organic-maps-fork-comaps/.

Can anyone recommend an app for finding routes using public transport? I am currently using Google Maps, but I’d like to find an alternative, preferably not US/big tech. Tried mapy.com, it didn’t work.

Most of the world doesn’t observe DST. Living without DST is absolutely fine.

It’s a Dutch Flag! 🇳🇱

The article doesn’t say what the rules are, so I did some searching and found this:

According to the rules:

• Political advertisements must be made available with a transparency label and an easily retrievable transparency notice. These must clearly identify political advertisements as such and provide some key information about them, including their sponsor, the election or referendum to which they are linked, the amounts paid, and any use of targeting techniques.
• Targeting political advertising online will be permitted only under strict conditions. The data has to be collected from the data subject and it can be used only after the data subject have given explicit and separate consent for its use for political advertising. Special categories of personal data, such as data revealing racial or ethnic origin or political opinions, cannot be used for profiling.
• To prevent foreign interference, there will be a ban on the provision of advertising services to third country sponsors three months before an election or referendum.

The second point seems to be the most painful. Meta is all about nonconsensual data collection and targeting.
