Yes, how about it? The UK had the most opt outs of any EU country.
If you've got a problem with fishing you should have brought it to the attention of the European Parliament’s fisheries committee. The UK's representative was Nigel Farage who turned up a grand total of 1 out of 42 times.
The constant debate in government over whether we have to wear a mask (yes), whether we have to lock down (yes), when we can open up (when the numbers say so) doesn't help.
And neither does members of the ruling class going off to test their eyesight or go to their second or their third homes (don't do it), and the parade of clowns sent out to defend them doing that (it makes everyone who's making an effort look a fool), then the same parade coming down like a tonne of bricks on everyone else from other parties caught doing something similar because they're not part of the favoured few.
The fish rots from the head down.
Presumably finding an alternative domain and arranging for a refund for the .eu domain was what the transition period (Feb 2020-Dec 2020) was for?
Sticking your head in a bucket and pretending it hadn't happen might work for the British government (for small values of work), but odds on the average British citizen is going to be left high and dry if they believe their .eu domain is going to work in 2021.
If this is a problem, take it up with your local government (for local people).
Was their any good way to remove .eu domains registered from the UK? No.
Was there any good way to extract the UK economy from its neighbours? No.
Was there any good way to keep British citizens' EU treaty rights? No.
Still, at least Amsterdam is celebrating their second Christmas in two months. Brexit isn't all bad news.
I'm surprised they haven't managed to put all those YouTube videos from the Google spokeswoman saying they would pull search into the memory hole before coming out with something like that. Or maybe not, it seems de regueur to just say one thing one day and the complete opposite the next despite of all the evidence to the contrary because the constant gaslighting from governments and corps everywhere just tires people out.
ARM Macs can't run unsigned ARM binaries, there's no option which can be chosen which allows it. Developers must pay the danegeld to Apple to get a certificate if they wish to distribute ARM binaries themselves, otherwise they can distribute Intel binaries and rely on Rosetta 2. It is known... except by the author of this article, apparently.
I may disagree with what you're saying, but I'm willing to fight for your right to say it.
And what would a neo-Nazi party do once it gains power? It would disagree with what you're saying and take away your right to say it.
What happens when they use turbo-charged freedom of speech that social media offers? Unlike traditional freedom of speech there is no consequences, no pushback, and an amplifying echo chamber? Well, we've seen what happens, they end up in Congress.
Therein lies the conundrum.
If only your outrage extended to the chumocracy.
But hey, at least Scotland and possibly NI have a way out, the rest of us have to lie back and think of England & Wales, because this is how it's going to be for the next three years at least, and there's nothing anyone can do about it. Client journalism, chronically useless opposition, and gerrymandering don't bode well for the next general elections either.
And right on time one wine importer has posted his odyssey with CHIEF. Remember not to edit fields, it could get confused.
It's all been thought through. The British government's Brexit negotiating positions were ideologically designed to wreck JIT logistics between the UK and the EU so transactions will drop to such a level that the 30-year-old paper-driven CHIEF can cope with it.
Anything the current rabble in charge say blaming business or the EU is just a charade, they know full-well what they did and what's anyone going to do about it, write a strong letter to their MP or hope for Labour to ride to the rescue? Relax, grab your stockpiled popcorn and watch from the safety of your bunker.
Apparently only some builds are infected, Windows Defender does detect it, and the recovery partition does not contain the virus so if your build has it then reinstalling from recovery would be the way to go. Read on from here.
The UK is still in the "European Region" which is EEA + UK if we believe WhatsApp's privacy policy however everything sent to Facebook's platform (Business, Facebook Messenger) is slurped.
The products they've released over the past few years mean they've had to break Apple's special top-secret security several times over which makes Apple look bad and they won't let themselves be bought by Apple either, so the only thing Apple can do is release the lawyers to try and stop them.
It seems European area (EEA and UK) users will not have their data shared with other Facebook companies, and I've read the net effect of this is no change European users. So far it seems nobody's done a before and after privacy policy diff to confirm this (this is something Facebook should be providing anyway to assuage fears).
But if this is true then it's a spectacular own goal from Facebook, there've screwed up the communication so much there's a stampede of privacy-minded European users leaving for other platforms for no reason at all.
You're probably thinking of the Alphacom 32. And yes, I also remember that anything you printed was gone in about a month or so. Also anything you wrote on the paper in ballpoint pen changed colour after a few days.
Also have an upvote.
Then standardised GUIs took all that nonsense away, then MS made a ribbon for Office, then they made a ribbon library so everyone could use standardised ribbons, then developers used it, then MS brought all that nonsense back and sued Coral for using their ribbon library.
