The US president is threatening to shutdown news organizations that report about his war in ways he does not like. The US government is sanctioning European individuals for doing their jobs, preventing them and their families from accessing

They likely bribed someone in the government to get that contract though. Regardless, it is ridiculous to absolve corporations and the people running them from all accountability, just because their aim is ever more money. In fact, that sho

And I expect to be able to open a restauraunt without surrendering my identity and private information to a huge monopolistic company. And I expect to buy food without that food being sanctioned by a huge, monopolistic company. Especially i

Google has a fetish for controlling what I can install because they earn money by sitting on the brdige between me and the app developer. That is not a conspiracy theory like you try to portray it. That is basic economics.

No different than big tech and their divisive algorithms. Or big pharma and side effects. Or big manufacturing and environmental harm (including harm to the people living around manufacturing companies). It is an inherent property of unchec

Basically every company has American investors. But for Mistral, ASML is the biggest, I think, and the french founders also still hold significant amounts. And Black Forest labs is still headquartered in Freiburg, Germany. They just have a

You act like bad outcomes are somehow okay if they result from narket forces, and I'm really not sure why. If market forces regularly and consistently lead to undesirable outcomes in the long-term, maybe we should re-evaluate why we su

So this law might significantly increase the fraction of good quality clothes that shelters get, which would be a good thing?

I'll happily pay more if that means less trash, less microplastics and less CO2. The current consumerism is not sustainable in the long run.

That's because you're not aware enough of being spied on at every single step you make. The issues are now more or less invisible (the tracking being more, and the lobotomized adblockers being less)

No. The US wants the EU to be a vassal, this should be obvious. Why would they want an EU that is more capable of acting against US interests? The US wants EU to be a vassal, but got tired of paying the protection money for that. Now they a

Honestly so often I take my EU consumer and worker rights for granted, only to hear that they simply don't exist for 90+% of Americans. Amd then I wonder how they even live over there.

That is not the case here. The legislation has been drafted with all of this in mind, and will force Meta to continually improve until the feature is like it should be. Without Trump making a huge fuss everytime US companies have to do some

You are wrong. Linux desktop is incredibly fabulous in 2026, and I am reminded of it everytime I have to use Windows for work or gaming.

Those are called Outermost Regions (OMRs), and there are 9 of them, for instance french guiana. Due to their remoteness, they are exempt to some EU laws. But they are part of the European Union. Then there are some regions which are part of

What do you think would happen if that server went down? People can't get app updates, or install new ones. That is all. That is not critical. They can then probably whip up a new hosted server to take over within a few days, at most.

Nazism is not an opinion. It is a dangerous ideology that has cost the lives and freedoms of many people. And will do so again, if left unchecked.

Just because one individual second is small, it still adds up. Even if all you do with it is just stretching, there's a chance it will prevent you pulling a muscle. Or lower your stress and prevent a stroke. Or any number of other bene
