That’s where these rules are coming from. EU made the first move, and countries around the world follows.
It’s like this with most laws. But the world depends on the first mover. Right now for everything on consumer protection, it’s the EU they look at.
Well, yeah. It also took 100x the time to write.
Vibe coding is only really useful for a coder. Because you can understand and correct it.
Yeah, guess who makes the posts. The US propaganda machine.
Nice.
Wonder why we need 3rd party app stores.
And ffs, would other countries help a little, or should the EU just carry your asses every single time big tech tries some shit.
Long time ago that was true.
Still doesnt mean that they built this well enough yet, but they are building alot of things that actually works right now.
Lol, it’s like this with everything.
USA is tracking every single movement in your house, and throws a fit when China collects some meta data.
They just act like the survelliance is bad by blaming a foregin state, then doing something way worse.
The price hikes where neccesarry for sure then…
Fuck big corps.
Big if, because you expect a US company to win.
These numbers are like proclaiming you won an “election” with 90% votes.
(it won’t be, it’s an EU law, so will be the same in all EU countries)
This is not true btw. It’s not a mandatory law, and if you read the news about this the last 3 weeks, you would know that.
EU laws are not automatically mandatory. That’s not how it works at all.
Yeah… There goes my subscription. I’m casting everything to Chromecast on my older TV.
That’s the thing. They wont pay you more. Maybe some people would get the extra money, but all new employees would get the same salary for more hours.

Again, I dont think you can access it unless you follow the rules.
I guess it’s not true public, but you can if you meet the requirements.
It’s not, but they made a WhatsApp API for the DMA. There’s a Matrix bridge to WhatsApp.
Signal wont do it because they cant use their own protocol. You still have to use WhatsApps, which makes it flawed.
I also hope for good clients, but maybe the rules will change further before there’s any real use case for it. Maybe it’s too expensive compared to making your own?
apperently meta gets to pick it, and it is not a public api.
No they dont, and it’s a public modified Matrix-protocol. Why would you lie about that?
The problem is that WhatsApp can demand third parties to meet very high standards, making it impossible for independent actors to gain access to this.
You need a pretty well run machinery to live up to the standard, but if they do, WhatApps can legally not deny access.
If they do, it’s in violation of the DMA, which gives you a 10% of all global income in fees.
These has been used against Meta and Google before, and there’s no reason to believe they wont do it again. They actually live up to it.
Exactly this. Streaming was a thing long time before Netflix, but they made it so damn easy.
Now Netflix fucked it, and streaming piracy became so damn easy that more people did it than before.
If they close down piracy streaming/download, guess what. Dark web access, or i2p maybe, will be so damn easy.
People are willing to do it, if there’s no service that’s worth it’s money.
Piracy is a service issue. Most of us would pay, if the service is good enough.
Maybe, just maybe, MAGA supporters will one day realize that the reason there’s so many foreign bots making propaganda about Trump, is because he weakens the US.
People are starting to realise that the biggest survilliance state in the world is the US.
And they want you to think it’s China or Russia to deflect attention.
