And the regulation doesn't need to be overly complicated:

* Ban targeted ads or make them opt in;

* Ban targeted content or make it opt in;

* Enforce the use of a do not track header - if the user does not want to be tracked a simple browser or OS setting should be enough.

Plus addressing is not unique to gmail nor it was invented by google.

For example, to enable plus addressing in postfix is only a matter of defining:

recipient_delimiter = +

For maximum effect I also use:

* browser.compactmode.show=true - enable compact mode

* browser.menu.showViewImageInfo=true - show menu icons

Yes, the same applies to newspapers and magazines online. We need a law demanding a legal digital deposit at least at the national level.

It is somewhat trivial to devise an API to be integrated in the publications pipelines to automatically and transparently submit new and modified articles to a central repository.

Typing this on a PBP, Manjaro 20.07 i3.

Alt-tabbing between Firefox and a terminal takes one second, as does switching between Firefox tabs.

This is not my experience at all. I do not notice undue delays switching between applications (do not use slack).

The wifi is not very good, it can't connect reliably to an access point in the next room

No problems at all. This weekend I'm at my parents, I am connected to an old wrt54gl all day long. I have problems with my other laptop (XPS 13) on the same network.

The screen size and resolution scream for fractional scaling but Manjaro does not seem to provide it.

I've been using this machine since late March, I didn't take notes when I configured it but, from what I remember, I only had to make some small adjustments [1] to get things right.

Sure, the PBP is an under-powered machine but, given the right allowances (the software is under development, the trackpad is not the best, suspend is not working correctly, etc), I find it easy to use as a daily driver most of the time.
