    Ah, I didn't even notice at first. As I checked the behavior now, I noticed that they also show up when you zoom into a post via the zoom gesture on mobile. As the page does not have responsive design I had to zoom in when reading. They also show up when tapping a post.

    A former member of Morocco’s domestic intelligence service has helped to provide an unprecedented insight into how the north African state used hacking software – including Pegasus spyware – to target journalists, human rights defenders, French politicians and Spanish cabinet ministers and police officers.

    Pegasus, which is manufactured by the Israel-based NSO Group, allows its operator to access everything on a target’s mobile phone, including emails, text messages and photographs. It can also activate the phone’s recorder and camera, turning it into a listening device.

    Though it looks like this is from last year, so the context is different and therefore the numbers are not directly comparable.

    I also have problems with my USB C port on a Pixel 6a. Seems to be a new weak spot. Before I never had an issue with the older USB port standards on my previous smart phones.

    I don't know how it works in the US but in Germany the government petition only guarantees that they have to look at it / discuss it publicly. The government doesn't have to change anything if they don't want to. I'm not sure if this would have a bigger impact as the NGO petition.

    This is only a private petition by an NGO. It doesn't mandate any action by the government. There is also a similar mechanism in Germany for petitions to the German federal parliament (Bundestag).

    There's a petition against the proposed changes signed by more than 500.000 people. https://weact.campact.de/petitions/spd-stoppt-den-frontalangriff-auf-die-informationsfreiheit (in German).

    Critics fear the reforms could weaken government transparency by curbing civil society's access to official information and limiting requests from foreigners.

    Some new protections

    • no fees for correcting name spelling errors
    • digital boarding pass without mandatory app or account
    • guaranteed adjacent seat for children below 14 without extra cost
    • air passengers will be able to take the return flight of a two-way ticket even if they did not use the first flight, without incurring an additional fee

    Timeline for implementation:

    [this has] to be confirmed by Council by the beginning of August 2026. The updated rules would enter into force 20 days after publication in the Official Journal of the EU. From that moment the EU countries and companies will have one year to prepare for their implementation.

    I think you can't with the default launcher. But you can install another launcher and make it the default.
