Experiencing it right now… Still no battery update for my phone, but I am currently away on vacation and am dreading the moment it will become a fancy brick

Yeah they sent a communication to pixel 6a owners saying that they will force an update that will reduce battery usage. In case you did not know, Google is providing a 100$ check, or 150$ discount on their store for 6a owners.

I agree with you, and I’m no expert, still if you are painting yourself as the big strong bully, capable of going against anyone, and then you don’t go out of your house because you are scared of getting lynched, I guess that others can and will take advantage of your weakness… Especially given that others have no issue whatsoever with ignoring ICC warrants…

While the other answer is correct and more comprehensive, in this phrase the particles are purely used to make the phrase “polite”. Take them out and the phrase is semantically correct and has the exact same meaning, but it can now only be used in an informal settings (between friends, family, …)

The article is from May 19, 2022. I can find very little information about the vote of this Wednesday. While I don’t doubt its authenticity, I find it unlikely that it would pass. Last time they tried, doing it much more loudly and going as far as spreading disinformation campaigns on TV and in social media, they still completely failed at having the legislation passed. To me it looks like someone is finishing their mandate, so they are scrambling to show that they are doing the work they have been paid to do (by lobbist, obviously not by the people).

I hope I will not be proven wrong.
