Heh, I do have link previews on, and I’ll never forget XcQ. But the joke is on you, I’ll always listen to that banger!

Not really related, but I believe this is the first time I’ve seen an emoji as a link 🤯

Also based in the EU, and mine were turned on

I don’t know much about the technology, so I can’t comment on that. But I don’t really see politicians pushing for this, at least not succesfully. There are too many rightwing obstructionists in most Western governments right now…

So Sync it is!
