And that is exactly why we need more regulation on this area, because it's NOT sustainable right now.

This was why the EU made it mandatory to use USB-C, so we only need few chargers for everything in our home. This alone were tons of e-waste reduced each year.

We need this thinking in other areas too.

Whoever wrote this blog post missed the point in the way the fediverse is decentralised.

It's not about hosting. It's about ownership. And that means hosting can change at any moment. Because no one company decides anything.

That's why we really want the fediverse. Because it's not build for late stage capitalism and monopolies.

Amazing and terrifying that EU seems to be the only world government to actually stand up against this late stage capitalism dystopia.

These rules actually makes sense. They actually protect both consumers and other companies around the whole world. And most importantly; they tackle a real world problem head on.

This would actually be a big step for many Android users wanting to try out another OS.

I know for myself that sideloading apps is a must for me on my phone, and if an iPhone could do that, it's at least one step closer for consideration.

This is amazing news for countries with free healthcare! Even though the vaccine is expensive, it's nowhere as expensive as the care a cancer patient needs today.

Plus you can send a healthy individual back to their families and into society again.

Samsung has decreased its output by 50% since September, though the market has already seen price bumps due to inventory being cleared out.

So they artificially create a shortage to hike up the prices. Nice.

Spotify is saying it's "a real blow to innovation".

Honestly wtf they on about. 1-2% tax on their massive multi million platform, and the tax goes directly to support music in the country.

Fuck Spotify.

Honestly, Spotify is only half bad compared to the real scumbags of this industry, and that's the "rights holders".

It's not the artists who created the music I'm talking about. It's the record companies taking the largest piece for themselves.

They are the ones earning on other people's talent and success.

Someone, light the EU signal!

Lawsuit intensifies in the distance

It has never been a technology problem.

If society was build correct in a democracy, advances in all fields would always be for benefitting the people and the majority.

This has been a problem ever since the industrial revolution and what caused the great depression.

If technology advances to a stage where we only need 75% of the current work force, the answer is not to fire 25%. It is for everyone to benefit and work 25% less or get 25% more pay. (or 12,5% work less and 12,5% more pay. Our choice)

That is a working democracy.

TIL occupied indicators are not standard in the rest of the world.

What the fuck is wrong with you guys. This is absolutely dystopian shit right there.

This is not "nice" or "neat"?!

It's straight up awful. It's war.
