Not happening unless a major economy forces Google to give it away.

Their business depends on being able to sabotage adblockers.

The way the EU works it would the other way around. Swiss populists would prevent anything from getting done unless it’s more instutionalised xenophobia.

I mean, in the last 4 years they only failed Armenia, Syria, and Venezuela, so who could have predicted they wouldn’t show up for Iran? /s

And that’s solved with standards and public sourcing procedures, not with replacing a monopoly with another.

One size fits all is a closed source trap. Competition is good. Flexibility is good.

And ignoring the existing Linux deployments is only going to lead to a worse version of https://xkcd.com/927/

And XMPP before it, even for e2ee messaging.
At least this is a slightly different use case.

It’s about having deals that will allow the German oligarchs to partially own the Chinese brands. Do you think Merz actually cares about common Germans?

As a general rule, all large international sports organizations are run by coalitions of far-right leaders and particularly amoral neoliberals.

People should look for safer, legal, substances, like… checks notes… alcohol.

The duality of criteria regarding “traditional” drugs depending on whether they are produced by rich countries or not is pathetic.

I’m surprised it’s only 7. The vetting process is probably too lax.

The problem is that unless Labour finds the most competent prime minister in British history, the clock is ticking until Brits elect Prime Minister Farage. Association with pedophiles and bribery is only toxic for left wing politicians (including pretend-left like Starmer).

But the algorithm isn’t extremely personalized or optimized towards “engagement”. In fact the only fediverse platform that comes close is Loops, and even that is light-years away from the psychological manipulation that goes into Tiktok algorithms.

He really feels the urge to make Blatter look like a saint in comparison at all levels doesn’t he?

During Gestapo and Stasi times most informants did their best to remain anonymous because no one likes snitches. Openly following someone and bragging about it is sociopathic even by nazi and Stalinist standards.

There’s no “there’s no such thing as free service”, and there’s “we are going to hold your data hostage until you pay”. This is the second, and unless they give you a way to export the fields, it’s a violation of GDPR article 20.
