Some stats about the various ways of writing the project name (taken from these comments):
Fuchsia: 39
Fuschia: 19
Fushia: 1
Fuchia: 1
Other: ?
...so we can conclude that the UX of this codename is terrible. Maybe they should change it to something more easy to remember, e.g. Fuxia (Fucksya would probably also be easier to remember, but could be deemed too obscene)?
Naming it "Fucksya" wouldn't be the best advertisement either
Not necessary, new EU regulation forces them to make their messaging services interoperable: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30798850
That will take years to be heeded, I'm sure. Even then, it's possible some companies will provide that access only to customers from the EU (given it removes the monopoly these companies hold on their services).
One major thing for me was just sticking to three --appropriately sized-- meals a day (and perhaps a snack later in the night). Doesn't really matter what the meals are. Grazing is a substantial reason why I gained a fair amount of weight.
That and switching from sugar in my teas and coffees, and getting diet when I occasionally drink pop.
I'm lucky enough that my walk commute to work is enough exercise for me.

It becomes murky when you don’t actually ship software and use it as a service in the backend. GPL is from the olden days when you actually distributed your software. Now it’s only the front end and that ships as source still because wasm and the rest haven’t taken over yet.
AGPL then. It extends the meaning of "distribute", but is still FSF/OSI-approved

> The UK only has one of those problems: property costs.
University education in UK (sans Scotland) has gone from zero to GDP 9k a year in fees, the average debt per student is GDP 35k. I know that this quantity and the associated conditions for Americans, or London IT people, sounds like a joke. But AFAIK the average pre-tax graduate job salaries in about GDP 24k.
The £9k a year figure is mostly smoke and mirrors though. All British citizens are eligible for a tuition "loan" that covers it. That "loan" (and the maintenance loan too) is the equivalent of a graduate tax, as it's a percentage (9% for the current lot of students) charged on income made past a certain amount (above £25,000 for this lot). The loan is wiped 30 years after graduation (this what will happen for the majority of students).

It is good practice to be cynical about politics. Are they serious or are they trying to sneak something through under cover of a distraction?
I see no reason why this wouldn't be serious. To put these comments into context, it's in preparation of the government's Animal Welfare (Sentience) Bill[1] coming before the Commons. The Bill would set up an Animal Sentience Committee to scrutinise policies' effects on sentient animals. The government have brought this forward in preparation of future changes to British animal welfare legislation, now Britain has legislative independence in this area, post-EU exit. The Queen's Speech in May announced Britain would pursue "the highest standards of animal welfare", and the government said it would make Britain a "global leader" in this area[2]. As the Bill currently stands, it limits the Committee in considering only vertebrate animals (and therefore it cannot report with regards to others, including octopuses and lobsters). These MPs want to amend it to cover these other animals. Whether or not the Sentience Committee's reports are properly considered in policy is another matter.

So, what is actually included? Isn’t everything electronic now?
It's "digital electronic product...found in medical settings", I'd imagine

I think you have to start citing your sources. My sources suggest that Cromwell was hugely popular and pretty much not allowed to leave his post, which is why the restoration did not happen until after his death. He was even pushed to accept the crown himself - that's as popular as one could get. Also he was not into regicide, and King Charles I was only axed because he stubbornly refused to pare down his ambition from absolute monarchy to anything less, and with full agreement of the Parliament.

A big reason why the Roundheads wanted to make Cromwell king was to limit his power. His status as Lord Protector was not King, and therefore had none of the constraints on power that the kingdom had evolved over the centuries.
He wasn't widely popular outside the parliamentarians, who were the ones in power. The "godly", who made up the majority of the Roundheads were reviled by a substantial portion of the British. Cromwell held the Commonwealth together, that's for sure, but the cohesion amongst the Roundheads dried up once he died.
