My Jag is second hand classic. I use it mainly in the summer for short trips. My daily is hybrid. But this is not the point. The point is that we have to find a way to optimize ideas and legislation towards reality, not towards some dream

Please, I would love to convert my Jag to electricity. This is the future. But reality is that aside from tech sector, people cannot afford buying a new electric car. End countries from EU with high standard of living are not the example. &

Apple is the reason. App store greed. We with our "design and virtue signalling" addiction helped a lot in creation of this monster. As far as I can remember, the real UI/UX innovation was killed fast. Palm/WebOS.

Agree. They are working hard to kill all the good stuff in macOS and if they have a way to close it, as iOS and replace it with iPadOS with some xcode implementation, it is over. Better to invest in multi-platform software and run VMs. Luc

Agree to disagree. If people live close to nature they change a lot. The Bernays idea of man as an atroucious anymal that must be controlled with entertaiment, consumerism and survaillance is in sync with corporate control and exploitation
