No counterparts worldwide? Here in Australia, all significant case law has been published on AustLII, which is freely accessible and searchable, since about 2000. I think CanLII and NZLII are equally comprehensive. Government law publishers provide free and authoritative access to all statutes. Lexis and Westlaw still make money by publishing commentary and summaries, but paywalled primary sources are an American problem.

“Chat Control” is a pejorative name used by the law’s opponents. Its official name is the Regulation to Prevent and Combat Child Sexual Abuse.

I'd complain to Google about this, maybe through a lawyer if needed to get them to take it seriously. They won't accept full responsibility, and in general people need to be aware of the risk of spoofed email, but Google should be able to stop fake emails from google.com from appearing in a Gmail inbox. You'd think they would also have the ability to recover an email deleted immediately after an account takeover, or at least work out how the spoofed email was delivered from other internal logs. Google should investigate whether their negligence contributed to the success of this attack.

The issues can’t be ‘fixed’ in the Wayland protocol, but have been addressed by individual compositors and libraries like wlroots. The difficulty is not in building a decent Wayland desktop from scratch (GNOME, Sway and ChromeOS have all done this), but in rewriting X11 window managers, screen sharing apps and automation tools that perform functions that are the compositor’s responsibility under Wayland.

The GNOME Settings app allows you to assign global hotkeys under Wayland using the normal GUI [1]. Not sure about configuring those hotkeys in a config file like i3/sway, I assume it’s some dconf thing.

I tried a bunch of tiling window managers over the last two years, and found that the choice of X11 or Wayland does not make much of a difference with regard to the “second class citizen” effect you described. What finally solved it for me was switching to GNOME (ie. mutter on Wayland) with the PaperWM extension. Fundamentally, I’m running a conventional desktop with no tearing and standard, widely used solutions for keyboard shortcuts, the clipboard, screenshots, and floating windows, so graphical applications look and feel correct even if they are a bad fit for the tiling model. Tiling is then implemented by PaperWM at a higher level, in JavaScript, leaving the complexities of hardware accelerated, animated compositing to GNOME. It’s a good combination – I’d like to see more tiling window managers designed to take advantage of hardware-accelerated compositing.

Smooth-scrolling back through a command that unexpectedly dumped 500 lines of output, using Alacritty and a big scrolling trackball with acceleration, is pretty glorious.

Whether your denial is plausible is a matter for a judge or jury. Your credibility might be stretched if, say, the drugs were worth a lot of money, you didn't report it when they turned up at your house, you had drugs in your house when the police searched it under a warrant, and you bought cryptocurrency which you can't account for a few days earlier. You might choose to take a plea rather than rolling the dice at that point.

I did electronics in year 10 in Perth around that time. It was a pretty neat class, we got to program a PIC as well as learn some basic circuit design stuff.
