Did you check if the registration works?

If the registration form for "other sign in methods" ends up partially off screen on desktop, mouse scrolling doesn't work and the only way to reach the rest of the fields (for me it was verification code field, the button to request the code and registration button) is to press Tab.

Verification code requests end with 502 Bad Gateway from Cloudflare.

Well, it's not that surprising, considering that as soon as something radically new appears, there is always some mistreatment from all sides: platform owners, app developers and users.

Windows' Metro/Modern UI was pretty good from different perspectives, but didn't have enough effort put into it to make it a universal thing fit for multiple purposes (half of the Windows settings was still in Control Panel for quite some time), wasn't familiar for users (so they hated it) and wasn't familiar for developers (so they created hideous apps).

In the opposing Linux camp, GNOME made Gtk 4 with Libadwaita UI library with "everything is a phone app" mindset that not every app can adopt. For example, there's no application menu (a line with File, View, Edit, etc.) component shipped by default, you should make it yourself or get it somewhere. So now GIMP is developed using Gtk 3 (not modern 4) because it has all the components GIMP needs. Trying to get GNOME developers to implement some stuff outside of their vision is a futile effort.

Escape hatches are great, but each also represents a security weakness waiting to be exploited.

Having money and using them without supervision is a safety risk. You can unknowingly buy food that isn't good for your health. And good food is what you actually need. So transfer your money to me and I will benevolently manage your diet for you. No other motives but your safety and wellbeing, I swear.

By the way, can you really trust the supermatkets? They sell alcohol and alcohol is bad for you.

Unless they are government backed trolls with fake ids issued ad-hoc by that government. That's one of the possibilities.

People already sell access to their Google accounts so buyers can run not-that-legal ad campaigns. Creating one extra step won't do much to solve problems as long as the incentive is big enough and budget is sufficient.

Yes, consumers may pay a liiiitle more for their eggs, milk or bread

very important for low-income households and their financial planning.

Paying more is beneficial for low income households, I see. That looks like expert level mental gymnastics detached from the reality.

It's regulated by excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters. Former start and support the actions and thoughts, latter prevent or stop them. It's more complicated than that, but this explanation good enough for quick summary. And it's not only about the actions we think about, but also usual body function

some level of learning or skill training that's possible to change your amount of laziness or drive

There are also things that don't require training. Music with tempo above 90 BPM (or better above 100) temporary increases the amount of excitatory neurotransmitters.

If I recall correctly, as long as it has more than half of one bill in one piece, it's okay. Good luck trying to pay for stuff though.

DVDs were also region-locked

A lot of later players didn't care though and were region-free.

DVDs also have less-than-stellar image quality by comparison to today

Some DVDs have less-than-stellar image quality even compared to other DVDs. The format doesn't mandate some fixed bitrate numbers, so it can be truly atrocious.

If A-tel (Amd-inTEL) can not sell to the EU the merger will not happen.

What the EU gonna do then? Stop buying computers? Perform rapid continental ARM transition for mythical amount of money?
