Samsung has decreased its output by 50% since September, though the market has already seen price bumps due to inventory being cleared out.

So they artificially create a shortage to hike up the prices. Nice.

Honestly, Spotify is only half bad compared to the real scumbags of this industry, and that's the "rights holders".

It's not the artists who created the music I'm talking about. It's the record companies taking the largest piece for themselves.

They are the ones earning on other people's talent and success.

Can't we please just edit the headline to include some context instead of copy/pasting the click baity title?

Write which database was leaked, at the very least. I'm not on Lemmy for click bait.

TIL occupied indicators are not standard in the rest of the world.

Someone, light the EU signal!

Lawsuit intensifies in the distance

Spotify is saying it's "a real blow to innovation".

Honestly wtf they on about. 1-2% tax on their massive multi million platform, and the tax goes directly to support music in the country.

Fuck Spotify.

This is amazing news for countries with free healthcare! Even though the vaccine is expensive, it's nowhere as expensive as the care a cancer patient needs today.

Plus you can send a healthy individual back to their families and into society again.

What the fuck is wrong with you guys. This is absolutely dystopian shit right there.

This is not "nice" or "neat"?!

It's straight up awful. It's war.

This would actually be a big step for many Android users wanting to try out another OS.

I know for myself that sideloading apps is a must for me on my phone, and if an iPhone could do that, it's at least one step closer for consideration.

It has never been a technology problem.

If society was build correct in a democracy, advances in all fields would always be for benefitting the people and the majority.

This has been a problem ever since the industrial revolution and what caused the great depression.

If technology advances to a stage where we only need 75% of the current work force, the answer is not to fire 25%. It is for everyone to benefit and work 25% less or get 25% more pay. (or 12,5% work less and 12,5% more pay. Our choice)

That is a working democracy.

Amazing and terrifying that EU seems to be the only world government to actually stand up against this late stage capitalism dystopia.

These rules actually makes sense. They actually protect both consumers and other companies around the whole world. And most importantly; they tackle a real world problem head on.

And that is exactly why we need more regulation on this area, because it's NOT sustainable right now.

This was why the EU made it mandatory to use USB-C, so we only need few chargers for everything in our home. This alone were tons of e-waste reduced each year.

We need this thinking in other areas too.

Whoever wrote this blog post missed the point in the way the fediverse is decentralised.

It's not about hosting. It's about ownership. And that means hosting can change at any moment. Because no one company decides anything.

That's why we really want the fediverse. Because it's not build for late stage capitalism and monopolies.

The EU ripple effect. Good job US, if it actually passes.

This is being pushed back from 2030, so it's not good news. Just a delay on the law.

Americans being afraid of socialism is proof that propaganda works. It's literally for the people.

Like many else suggests: Cut the media. The world doesn't care if you follow it or not, and you'll be much happier all the time.

Alternative, try to follow positive media. I created my own community for this purpose only, called /c/worldinprogress

Yes, but it failed the latest vote.

Not saying someone won't try again.

Even the historical, biggest right wing party in Denmark would not remove any of the things you mentioned, except school lunches.

With this digital euro, all fees are paid by the EU. Which is the right way to do it. It shouldn't cost anything to spend and transfer money - just as it doesn't with cash.

I can't get my head around how much money VISA and MasterCard is pulling out of society today.

How banks take fees for you to do a simple money transfer.

Scumbags.
