It’s not even the prison sentence they are contesting the most (2 years suspended + 2 years served at home with electronic bracelet), but the 5 years ineligibility sanction effective immediately.
Can’t wait for my 1€ coins with Big Ben on it, and 2€ coins with beans on toast !
I understand they feel butthurt, they invested so much money on her and her party.
Some “sympathizers” are already crying the justice is interfering with politics. Although the suspension of electoral rights is inscribed in the law, and would you expect anything less of a punishment for someone who corrupted millions of € of public money ?!?
These same “sympathizers” are constantly shouting everywhere that our justice is to soft and that criminals should be punished more harshly.
I never had problems with banking apps on GrapheneOS, 3 different apps, all work totally fine.
kingthrillgore@lemmy.ml is supporting your argument.
A Web browser is a complex piece of SW that needs to provide many, many, features and work with great performance. Therefore you need a large team of experienced developers (full-time and maybe volunteers) collaborating on the development and testing. This is cost in labor and infrastructures (servers, storage, internet connection, hosting of platforms, etc)
One such feature that is a must-have is playing videos, from YouTube, Netflix, Prime, Twitch and what have you. Most widely spread video codecs are proprietary, you need a license to implement the decoder and these licenses are expensive. H.264 is one such codec, very widely spread across many content and platforms. You wouldn’t want a web browser that lacks the ability to decode H.264 videos. There are many such codecs that are considered essential, and this cost a lot of money in total.
In conclusion, this is an argument as why developing a web browser costs money and requires a sustainable financial plan, even though it is open-source and developed mostly by volunteers.
My personal opinion: advertisement sucks. I don’t want it anywhere in my life. I would prefer to pay upfront for my web browser if it come to this.
I know in France and Germany it can also be hard for non-EU partners to have a permanent resistance permit.
China isn’t an ally of Europe. This would also be damaging us.
Making a peace deal right now equals to have Putin’s Russia win the war. This is not acceptable. We have to keep supporting Ukraine and prepare for war against Russia, without the US. Trump and his sbires are going to continue to be insufferable day after day, let’s cut them out of the discussions and focus. Democracy and freedom are under attack in Europe, this is what we have to worry about.
