If I recall correctly, the European Parliament doesn't have the power to introduce new legislation on its own. Instead, they can ask the Commission to present legislative proposals. This might be what's happening here...

Motherboard made a documentary about this and what could happen to Venice in the next 100 years, but it's only available in Italian as far as I'm aware: https://video.vice.com/it/video/venezia-2100/5

Why would you buy a Wii U now? It costs basically the same, but it's out of production and won't get any new games.

Just switch to Firefox. This kind of stuff is why we need plurality in the browser space, and Mozilla is one of the few companies that takes - or has to take - a pro-user stance on many issues.

For those who are more interested in digital painting rather than image editing, I found Krita impressive in its capabilities and progress: https://krita.org I'm just an hobbyist, but I like having FOSS alternatives to Phot
