> The earliest recorded evidence of the production of soap-like materials dates back to around 2800 BC in ancient Babylon.

> Knowledge of how to produce true soap emerged at some point between early mentions of proto-soaps and the first century AD.

Guess which came first, 2800 BC - 99 AD or 1800 AD?

Industrially manufactured bar soaps became available in the late 18th century, as advertising campaigns in Europe and America promoted popular awareness of the relationship between cleanliness and health.

Also, bacteria was "discovered" by Ignaz Semmelweis, in mid 19th century. Barely anyone believes his theory.

In 1847, he proposed hand washing with chlorinated lime solutions at Vienna General Hospital's First Obstetrical Clinic, where doctors' wards had thrice the mortality of midwives' wards.[3] The maternal mortality rate dropped from 18% to less than 2%...

Or vaccines.

Hygiene has biggest impact on mortality than vaccines.

In London on the year 1800. (Before vaccines) - of the babies born that year three fourths died before their first birthday - in London on the year 2020 of the babies born that year, only three tenths of one percent failed to reach their first birthday.

In London in 1800 there was no soaps. Or drinking water in houses.

Seriously people selling a product at a fair price and that being that is a centuries old thing, why does everything need to be a subscription now just because it's possible?
t0bia_s · 8 days ago
Because consumers willing to pay anyway.

My best advice right now is honestly—not trying to scare people—just to look around and appreciate what we/you have right now.

Whole point is contradiction of entire article.

Vote them out and never vote for their parties in your general elections

If your Member of European Parliament supports chat control stop voting for their parties and politically support their opposition

You still belive that vote solve anything? Divide and conquer is strong indeed. We should focus to abandoning giving our responsibility to unknown electorate.

Not quite, the people making these decisions are all in EU commission and they are there because they were submitted by their national parties. Also there is the EU parliament that contains people that also belong to national parties.

If they look like they support a very unpopular decision a big public backlash can definitely make them reconsider. Depending on how secure they are in the national politics.

For example why do you think Denmark is submitting this now? Because the somewhat right wing gov in Poland that vetoed it last time is no longer in power. Instead Mr Europe (Tusk) is the prime minister. If EU beurocracy was embodied in a person it would be him. He was the president of the commission. He was the vice-leader of the EU People's Party - the biggest party in the EU parliament. He had his first political party funded by German SPD in cash... He also lost last parliamentary election in Poland, but still came out on top by making a coalition with three smaller parties (some say one was made exactly for that purpose few years ago). He will for sure do everything in his power to have this passed.

But his government is a minority one, and at least two of these three coalition parties are mainly supported by young people from large cities. And those were the people that undermined it last time by demonstrating (believe it or not the previous mildly right wing gov was not entirely opposed to having more control over people, but they had to quickly change their mind and veto it after mass demonstrations). So I'm hoping there is no chance in hell it'll pass.

Also, if it did, there is no chance it will be signed into the law by the current president or not be deemed unconstitutional by the constitutional Court... The EU and Tusk have claimed the court is "illegitimate" for years, but that is a long story. So in short, pushing this issue despite strong opposition definitely has a potential to blow up Polish politics. No PM leading a minority gov would do something like this intentionally while his party is loosing popular support every month.

EU commission and they are there because they were submitted by their national parties.

Members of EU commission are nominated by the European Council and elected by the European Parliament. Principle of subsidiary is absolutely abolished and far from direct democracy.

Will this stop you from purchasing a new Samsung device?

Yes. I was buying Samsung devices for years because of size (A5, A7, S10e) and ability to unlock bootloader for Lineage OS. Time to look elsewhere.

Honest question, what do you even need a native client for? What can you do on Thunderbird that you can't on a browser?
t0bia_s · a month ago
If you use multiple email accounts on different platforms (private providers), client is only way how to manage it effectively. Same for calendars and contacts. You probably wont use web browser for edit contact on phone as well.

I don't use up/down vote because I value dialogue more than silent vote that no one learn from it.

Before flagging, please explain.
