They are the same picture

Europe selectively and slowly finding courage. There will come a moment when the tide finally surges

“Allow parents to…limit access to apps”

Which “apps”? Who determines which apps need to be age approved? Notepad? Couldn’t you write something horrific and send it with that app? Better let the government take that control for you and dictate to OS creators what your kids and you see. They will of course come for your apps next.

So they plan to buy low latency powerful compute hardware at the absolute top of an emerging, very unstable market without a proven model after previously making shoes.

Buy high, sell low. Amazing business move.

Vini, vidi, vanced it

It’s not theft if the perpetrator is rich; then it’s just a “business model”.

So uncreatively and transparently illegal and corrupt in every way.

Omniscient, omnipotent Business Leaders: “what? There is a catch?!?”

The natural extension of a non-open internet ala Reddit and charging developers for API pulls.

Who are owned by private equity for sovereign wealth funds pushing for nothing but returns. Hence they don’t care if they sign on the line with Goebbels or enshittify their product into uselessness.

“centrists”

There are like 100 for the whole country. No one gets audited, statistically speaking. It’s why you’ve never learned anything about taxes from your parents or friends. They don’t know either. People pay people at HR block who don’t know about taxes either to file. No one gets in trouble because the only people who know tax laws work for the very wealthy. Or at the IRS where there are about 100 of them to 300m of us.

Was so excited when the US got this years ago, now boycotting attendance. Fifa has always been corrupt AF but aligning with trump and giving him the peace award was bad even before he committed international war crimes in Venezuela and Iran…fuck FIFA. Imagine many countries may reconsider even attending.
