Elsevier
When will scientists just self-publish? I mean seriously, nowadays there is nothing between a researcher and publishing their stuff on the web. Only thing would be peer-reviewing, if you want that, but then just organize it without Elsevier. Reviewers get paid jack shit so you can just do a peer-reviewing fediverse instance where only the mods know the people so it's still double-blind.
This system is just to dangle carrots in front of young researchers chasing their PhD

Netzsperre für Wissenschaft: Größte deutsche Provider blockieren Sci-Hub
Das wissenschaftliche Publikationssystem ist so kaputt. Wissenschaftler forschen monatelang und schreiben dann noch wochenlang ihren Artikel, um sich auf eine Publikation zu bewerben. Die Redaktion schickt den Artikel dann an zwei bis drei andere Wissenschaftler, die den Artikel dann prüfen (peer-review). Wenn die Autoren die Kritik dann umgesetzt haben, wird publiziert. Und dafür wird dann beispielsweise beim renommierten Elsevier Verlag vierstellig die Hand aufgehalten, weil die Artikel andernfalls hinter der Paywall verschwinden? Für ein paar Mails und zehn Seiten Textsetzung?
Nebenbei: Die ganze Situation erinnert ein bisschen an den Quatsch zwischen YouTube und der deutschen Gema vor so ca 20 Jahren. Eigentlich gab es mit allen relevanten Verlagen bis so 2018 Rahmenverträge, dass deutsche Universitäten unbegrenzten Zugang erhalten. Danach ist das ganze anscheinend an der Gier der Verläge gescheitert.

Urban Microcars
I get the points that you are trying to make but those micro cars are shit for the consumer for those prices. Yes, you have a small car that isn't powered by fossil fuels, but
I've been riding public transportation almost exclusively for the last 10 years or so and only had to consider getting a car for long distance travel and transporting shit. And at that point you'll be better off spending 4-7k for an older station wagon than those things.
Also I'm not entirely sure how eco friendly it is to buy a brand new mini EV rather than driving around with a 15 year old car where nothing new has to be produced. Depends for sure on the yearly mileage. Which isn't high in my case, but you for sure won't be driving 15000 km a year in a mini car.
If we compare new regular and new EV? Sure, but then I'll wait until real competitive alternatives in the low-price sector pop up.

International scheme to tax billionaires’ wealth technically feasible, study finds
Please let this finally happen. It's absurd when normal people pay maybe 20-40% taxes depending on the country when the super rich almost don't pay at all.

Windows 11 is now automatically enabling OneDrive folder backup without asking permission
Microsoft is on a fuck up their product speedrun, ain't it?
I've been reading " Windows 11 does this and that without asking your permission." Almost daily now. I wonder when Windows 11 will fingerbang my SO without permission next.
