Because Firefox never released its Matchstick.

Wallpapers are probably randomly selected in a small pool of available pictures. I used 3 different Windows laptops today: one was showing the Harry Potter ad and the two others a nice view of Bamberg.

Oof. Why does this seem worse than just showing everyone the ad? Maybe because people like me will go "not my experience" and brush off the complainers. Diabolical

Why is it redirecting to the website of a Romanian IT company?

Edit: it seems it's doing so on Firefox, but not on Edge.


I would say it’s the other way round: being in the common market means that they are already subjected to EU regulations, without having any representation in the governing bodies however.


Maybe they can now move to a .it subdomain, since they are not designated as a terrorist organization in Italy.


That makes the most sense to me. Although, I don't know if .org is subject to US law specifically? Is it?


PIR, the registry of .org is an US company, so clearly subject to US laws and Trump's explosions.

The .it in the past forced you to have public whois data, this changed in recent years thanks to GDPR. Probably they chose .org when they created the organization at the time.


Can they block registrations from @private.icloud.com?


Yes, they would have been able to if the proposal had gone ahead.


I’m in Italy now and I can open the Archive page with the article.


I've been paying with Bancomat Pay on Amazon in Italy for a long time. Once EuroPA and EPI will be integrated together [0], it will be possible to pay with Wero on Amazon Italy as well.

> unilaterally converting some already sold bonds to '100 year bonds'

Is this even legal? I mean, is this possibility stated in some terms and conditions that one must accept when purchasing a bond?


I doubt it's 'legal' per-se, but I also doubt the legal troubles would be the biggest obstacle to doing it as it'd cause an insane meltdown in the bond market.

I double checked and it wasn't actually Bessent who suggested it but Miran. This was back when he was a bigger figure, probably played a role in his sidelining.
