Except the provision in question was copy pasted from an old law where it existed for decades without any change.

I find the tendency on Lemmy to see a conspiracy in every law concerning.

Criticise the law for what it does (there is enough here for it) and be wary of potential abuse. But sometimes warm water is just warm water.

1. The government is obliged to grant your request to leave the country unless there actually is a war.
2. There is no penalty if you leave the country without government approval.

Some Matrix clients such as comment also support screen sharing (for a more discord like experience). But I haven’t used it myself, so I can’t speak to its quality or reliability: https://commet.chat/

While the law requires men to request the permit, the [army] spokesperson clarified, it also obliges the military career center to issue it, if "no specific military service is expected during the period in question.”

"Since military service under current law is based exclusively on voluntary participation, such permissions must generally be granted,” the official added. (…)

When asked, the ministry spokesperson pointed out that "the regulation was already in place during the Cold War and had no practical relevance; in particular, there are no penalties for violating it.”

The left won. They just performed worse than expected, forcing them to work with centrists to form a government

It’s a term from city planing. Essentialy places that are not your place of work or someone’s home.

• ubuntu touch UI framework / suru: qt 5 based, so slightly outdated underpinnings, but still actively maintained https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/humanguide/index.html
• flutter: developed by google as a cross platform framework, tied to the dart programming language. https://flutter.dev/
• Canonical has created custom widgets for flutter, if you don’t like material design: https://pub.dev/packages?q=ubuntu
• uno.platform: C# framework for cross platform apps. https://platform.uno/

You could also use dedicated hardware to store your keys. Any FIDO USB key will do. I have a Yubikey that cost me less than 30 bucks.

It’s really handy, because I frequently use someone else’s device for work. All I have to do is plug it in, press the button on the key and enter the master password for the passkey storage. It’s like having a password manager on a USB stick.

And they can be hardware based as well. I have a cheap Yubikey USB dongle, which works as a passkey vault as well. Completely OS independent.
