With more context it makes sense. It isn’t just smartphone batteries, but lots of consumer electronics. Phones, tablets, cameras, ebikes/scooters/cars. And other parts of the legislation are focused on battery recycling targets for long-term sustainability.

From another article on the resolution:

All electric vehicle and rechargeable industrial batteries above 2kWh will need to have a compulsory carbon footprint declaration, label, and digital passport.

The parliament also passed new targets for collecting waste and recovering materials from old batteries.

They’re targeting batteries (first) because they use so much lithium and other relatively rare metals, and having so many batteries up in landfills is not only terrible pollution when they leech into water and stuff, but it’s just not compatible with our current and foreseeable dependence on lithium battery tech.

As other comments have pointed out, Firefox doesn’t necessarily support the necessary APIs that Discord is using for this. I have the same issue where neither Firefox don’t support the in-browser MIDI API, so I need to have Chrom(ium) for a webapp that lets me configure some MIDI hardware that the manufacturer provides zero computer interface for.

I’d like to use Firefox for everything, but there will always be some edge cases like this as long as there are APIs or other features that it doesn’t yet support. Of course not to say that securely implementing every new API is trivial, but that’s just how it is right now

mostly cuz EU gives rights and protections to consumers, not corporations

I dug up my old 3DS in the past weeks, installed some custom firmware to play my backups of DS/3DS/GBA games. A bit of Zelda Minish Cap, some Metroid Fusion… But mostly I find myself playing various Pokemon ROM hacks lol.

I’ve been getting into “Pokemon Elite Redux”, which is a difficulty/challenge game centered around each Pokemon having up to 4 abilities at the same time in battle. And there’s tons of new abilities that make each pokemon uniquely useful. It’s certainly challenging, even on the lowest difficulty. It’s happened to me several times that I have to get together a whole new team to beat a single trainer. But, there’s zero grinding involved, and there’s SO many quality-of-life changes that it’s super easy to get a whole new team squared up in just a few minutes. That makes it really easy to jump in for a few minutes when I can, without feeling like I’m wasting my time
