Femtejuli har skrivit om det också, för de som inte hinner läsa igenom allt själva:

Från förra året har vi denna brasklapp:

En »High-Level Expert Group« har tillsatts. Den bytte snabbt namn till en »High-Level Group«, då expertgrupper har högre krav på på öppenhet och allsidighet. Deltagarlistan har varit hemlig. [...]

I ett 42-punktsprogram vill Going Dark-gruppen nu att meddelande-appar skall certifieras av EU. Man vill ha inflytande över branschens produktprotokoll och tekniska arkitektur.
Gruppen vill ha ny datalagring. Den kräver tillgång till begärd data i läsbar (ej krypterad) form. Data om IP-nummer / port skall också lagras. Detta skall även gälla operatörer som är baserade utanför EU.

edit: The article is very US-centric and quite uninteresting for us in the EU though.

Another app I've heard about is https://buyeuropean.io/
They're running on US tech though.

I can't find any proper tests on the matter but here's someone with the Thinkpad X13 with the same CPU answering the battery question.

And in general I would consider "they" to be "not gendering that person" without adding any negative or positive values to it.
I understand that it isn't all that simple when it comes to lgbtq and those who are actively misgendering someone as a refusal to accept their gender. Give those fuckers hell, they deserve it, but if it's possible that someone is using it as I consider it to be used then give them the benefit of the doubt. It'll make the world seem a bit brighter if nothing else.
We're not all hateful bastards, some of us just don't read usernames and are lucky enough to not have to think about pronouns and gender. Thanks for making me think a bit more about it this evening.

I would say it is moving the goalposts to the topic at hand, but let's agree to disagree.

Are you of the opinion that the pronouns are relevant to the length of their (plural their mind you, OP and imogen_underscore) bans or that the discussion here will somehow change depending on their gender?

Chill out, it can also be used when gender is irrelevant.

Singular they has become the pronoun of choice to replace he and she in cases where the gender of the antecedent – the word the pronoun refers to – is unknown, irrelevant, or nonbinary, or where gender needs to be concealed. It’s the word we use for sentences like Everyone loves his mother.

How easy and expensive would it be to swap this with US English?

On the T14 (not T14s) it is easy. See https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/videos/nvid500443-replacing-your-keyboard-thinkpad-t14-and-p14s-gen-1-and-2-customer-self-service
Seems to be available from ~30USD https://www.amazon.com/Replacement-Keyboard-5N20V44072-5N20V43774-5N20X68864/dp/B0B3RV3LK5
ifixit has genuine parts for ~75USD https://www.ifixit.com/products/5n20v44072-lenovo-laptop-keyboard-genuine

I guess it depends on what fps you're aiming for. If you were satisfied with how kcd1 ran on your rig I wouldn't worry. kcd2 seems to be better optimised than kcd1.

Ah, I guess they've improved since kcd1 then. Towns could be a cpu killer in the first one.

edit: I see people mentioning kcd2 running better for them than kcd1 does, f.e.
https://www.reddit.com/r/kingdomcome/comments/1ij448t/im_shocked_how_well_the_game_runs_on_my_10_year/

If you want to play kcd2 on that system in the future without upgrading cpu then I would look for a 5700x3d or 5800x3d rather than a 5600.
