#noyb è ora approvata come cosiddetta "entità qualificata" per intentare azioni di ricorso collettivo presso i tribunali di tutta l'Unione Europea. Tale azione ai sensi della direttiva (UE) 2020/1828 può essere un'"ingiunzione" o una misura di "risarcimento". Le "ingiunzioni" generalmente proibiscono a un'azienda di impegnarsi in pratiche illegali, comprese eventuali violazioni del #GDPR. Le misure di "risarcimento" consentono una versione europea di una "class action", in cui migliaia o milioni di utenti potrebbero essere rappresentati da noyb e, ad esempio, chiedere danni non materiali quando i loro dati personali sono stati elaborati illecitamente. Contrariamente alle class action statunitensi, la legge dell'UE richiede che tali azioni siano intentate su base puramente non-profit.

The new Dutch transport minister wants more cyclists to wear helmets. He also wants car drivers to go faster. This is terrible, but it also illustrates the agenda helmet promotors really have.

The first text message was sent on this day in 1992 by then a 22-year-old engineer Neil Papworth to wish "Merry Christmas" to his colleague.
"It didn't feel momentous at all. For me it was just getting my job done on the day and ensuring that our software that we'd been developing for a good year was working OK."

On December 3, 1992, the first SMS text message in history is sent: Neil Papworth, a 22-year-old engineer, uses a personal computer to send the text message “Merry Christmas” via the Vodafone network to the phone of a colleague.Missy Sullivan (HISTORY)

Been enjoying playing with NixOS recently.
I now have 2 systems as accessible as they can be under Linux--Espeakup for console/boot message access, and Orca at LightDM login/on the desktop.
It's all in a series of config files, so if I find an issue or make an improvement, I just edit the right file, commit, push, then it's a git pull && nixos-rebuild switch and it's everywhere.
I merged the default minimal ISO config with the same Espeakup module I'm using on these other systems. Now I have accessible minimal boot/installation media.
Going to switch my main server from Core OS. That just leaves my main laptop, which is still running Windows. As much as Windows a11y is nice, there's something to be said about being able to read boot messages and access a text console. Better desktop accessibility is fine as long as you make it to the desktop, but there are a thousand things that might go wrong and when they do you're sunk.

There's a graphical install that may or may not work with Orca now. It didn't a few months back but I know there've been PRs/issues submitted since and I don't know their status.
The minimal/text-based install is mostly just typing commands to make partitions/filesystems. Then you basically just get your configs in place on the newly-mounted filesystems, which may be a cp or git checkout, and the installer builds that config onto the new installation. If you're comfortable with basic Linux commands plus a couple NixOS extras, you're probably fine with the minimal install plus my accessible media. I was able to comfortably read/hand-type the commands with an accompanying Windows laptop.
I've done it independently on a couple different systems now, including one with ZFS. Hoping to have everything on ZFS soon.

#China will give all the least developed countries with which it has diplomatic relations zero-tariffs for 100% tariff lines starting from December 1, becoming the first large developing country and major economy to announce such a policy.
This underscores the country's commitment to win-win cooperation and providing new opportunities for the world through its own development. Compare this to countries who are putting 100% tariffs on imports from developing countries.
