Exactly. They probably see their ads revenue is getting saturated by now, so a subscription model is a way to keep the revenue as the same level or higher.

or just "ignore" the favicon altogether:

  <link rel="icon" href="data:," />

I bought my first NUC only few months ago, and could not be happier (maybe except that Intel has sold off....). I use it as my primary machine for programming and data analysis. I read reviews that said it's noisy little machine yet I heard its fans once or twice, in my very quiet office.

Try the night mode (top right corner)...

It's black text on black background (I'm on mobile Firefox on Android).

A very costly replacement?!

The UK smart meter rollout is/was the most expensive among countries that went this route of smart meters.

Or move up North (or Scotland) as "our", ekhm, "smart meters", are using a radio technology.

Yyyy... Erlang has great adoption - examples:

- Ericsson (they designed Erlang) is using it for its mobile products/networks. Approx 40% of all mobile traffic worldwide goes through Ericsson's infra.

- WhatsApp used/uses Erlang - again millions (billions?) of users

- Bet365 / Klarna use Erlang - millions of users

- from OSS, RabbitMQ, is written in Erlang

I could go on... Erlang has great adoption, but it's probably smaller than, e.g. Python, due to Erlang's specific applications.

UK's debt-to-gdp reached 100.5%, and France has about 112.5% (many other western economies probably have similar level of debt.)

I'm not economist, so can someone tell me what does such high debt mean in short/long term perspective?

I was thinking...maybe Bard read your post and decided for itself.

Someone asked[0] what happened to Bard just 10 hours ago (or 8 hours if relative to this posting).

Good point! But what... if it's French Belgian person from France... is this still "French from France", or "French from Belgium" ? The Belgian person lives in France ;-)

Also, you missed other language codes for French: fr_BI, fr_BJ, fr_BL, fr_CA, fr_CD, fr_CF, fr_CG, fr_CH, fr_CI, fr_CM, fr_DJ, fr_DZ, fr_GA, fr_GF, fr_GN, fr_GP, fr_GQ, fr_HT, fr_KM, fr_LU, fr_MA, fr_MC, fr_MF, fr_MG, fr_ML, fr_MQ, fr_MR, fr_MU, fr_NC, fr_NE, fr_PF, fr_PM, fr_RE, fr_RW, fr_SC, fr_SN, fr_SY, fr_TD, fr_TG, fr_TN, fr_VU, fr_WF, fr_YT.

The OP wrote this is based on "navigator.languages" feature in the visitor's browser. So if your preferred language is set to e.g. French, then you shall see France at the top of dropdown.

On that topic I love the Welsh-English encounter of civil servants thinking they understood each other[0]

Kudos on the nice UX for dropdown with countries. I wish more websites do it. Usually, it's "United States" at the very top, and 194 other countries in a loooooong list.

There is...you're asked about your bank account, then few days later you receive $100,000 along with info to send it to another 5 accounts $20,000 each. Guess what happens next?

I compile the tarball using Dockerfile, as the target OS must be the same as source OS to compile it (I deploy Debians on remote, and use Fedora locally). Then there's bunch of mix tasks to bundle the js/css assets - it's all really there ready to be used. The other day I spent half a day implementing same behaviour for Django app.
