This decision restores digital privacy for European citizens and ends indiscriminate surveillance of private chats. 🔒

Despite all the problems associated with using AI, I still see some people saying "yeah but if you're careful and vet it's output it can still help you".

I'm reminded of the kid digging in a giant pile of manure "with all this horse shit there must be a pony around here somewhere!"

All my #WebKit merge requests have been merged. Now #WebKitGTK supports touch PointerEvent API, touch point coordinates are fractional, synthesized mouse events are unbroken and both WebKitGTK and WPE WebKit handle pointer capture and release according to the spec. This should considerably improve compatibility of #Epiphany (#GNOME Web) with touch interfaces.

There are still some more things to fix in there, maybe someone in #mobilelinux #linuxmobile community would like to give it a try?
