This is good... but partially admits defeat. It's a good fallback though.

How could I most effectively monetarily hurt politicians, who are specifically voting for chat control? I am already boycotting the US, but that's a much bigger/easier target than specific parts of the French government.
Typo, meant to write "party" The French party against it that replied to me is le groupe des Verts/ALE. They will have my vote on the next election.
What can I, as a EU citizen, do to stop this? I already sent (handwritten) emails to my French representatives several times, but only got one response from a minority part^ that agrees.
This will be my first christmas since moving to Aachen, looking forward to it! Hope it's not too crowded :)
Yeah, we use Windows servers primarily. Thankfully what I do doesn't require much interaction with them, though every once in a while I am subjected to SMB file sharing.
My work self hosts Gitea because Forgejo doesn't support Windows. While I agree with Forgejo's decision, it sucks to be basically stuck with an old pre-fork version of the forge I self-host.
Yet enforcing your copyright is exclusive to the rich. I had to move off of GitHub because of Microsoft infringing my code licenses and selling them as "GitHub Copilot", and I have no way of fighting back/recover my losses.
I often have performance issues with Jitsi ("video has been turned off to save bandwidth"). Might this be down to which instance I use? Perhaps it's time to self-host.
FUTO are the ones changing the meaning of words. The Open Source Definition has existed for a long time and clearly explains what it means. While Grayjay is "source available", and that's good, it definitely is not open source.
I just moved into a student dorm for a semester abroad, and beforehand I emailed them asking whether they had ethernet ports to plug my router into (I use it to connect all my devices, and for WiVRn VR streaming). They confirmed that I could, but now that I'm here the wifi login portal is asking me to accept these terms from the ISP, which forbid plugging in a router. There's another clause that forbids "Disruptive Devices" entirely, defined as:
“Disruptive Device” means any device that prevents or interferes with our provision of the 4Wireless to other customers (such as a wireless access point such as wireless routers) or any other device used by you in breach of the Acceptable Use Policy;
So what are my options? I don't think I can use this service without accepting the terms, but also I was told by the student dorm support that I could bring a router, which contradicts this.
EDIT: some additional context:
- dorm provider is a company separate from my uni (they have an agreement but that's it)
- ISP (ask4) is totally separate from dorm provider, and have installed a mesh network that requires an account. On account creation, there are many upsells including one for connecting more than one device. The "free" plan only allows me to sign in on a single device, and I can upgrade to two devices for 15 pounds.
- ethernet requires login too
- VR streaming requires a high performance wifi 6 network, which is why I bought this router (Archer C6 from tp-link)

Right, I should have mentioned despite being French I live in Germany. Still, can't hurt to join any demonstrations against this.
