Alternative title: Capitalism doesn't care about morals and contracts. It wants to make more money.

I had to laugh at "minimal kernel".

The lack of investment in strategic infrastructure, the lack of public expenses, and the mostly monolithic neoliberal economic politics bring them to this situation.

At one point, you need to invest public money in the infrastructure that work for the day-to-day life of everyone. In this case, we speak about the railway network. Europe can't be car centric like the US. The geography and the urbanism of European towns and cities don't allow this perspective.

This has implication on the job market as poorer can't afford a job. The neoliberal politics targeting the social welfare make people poorer and this had influences on the consumption and the economy. It's of course more complicated than this. But, it gives an idea of the situation.

EU should double down with a regulation stipulating that people are free to install whatever OS they want on devices (smartphones included) and companies can't gatekeep it.

Yeah, as the majority of the time, regulations work!

Politics is bout ideology, value and belief. But here, it's about making decisions by dogmatism and cult. This is a whole different level.

So they're admitting regulations work. They are making a lot less money due to random ads instead of targeting ads so they will have to charge to be sure they are still making too much.

I can't wait for the next regulations against tech corporations and social media.

Who didn't this coming? Seriously, meta will take what they want to increase the capital and makes everything else invisible.

Fediverse isn't here to say yes to everything. We have the freedom to say no and this is the power of the fediverse. It's allowing and denying. And Meta is a threat to the fediverse.

Twitter under Elon looks similar to the UK under Brexit.

For once, a good news.

Improve public transportation with good lines and timetable. People will use them.

This is one of these problem with multiple unsolvable issues:

• people are used to ad block and won't change
• the price is too high for part of the population (-> ad block for part of them)
• $1/month, $10/year would attract new paid account but not that much
• people can't afford/don't want a subscription everything
• users don't see any value in it
• a fraction of the paid will go ad block with the price increase
• people will circumvent the ad block block
• capitalism
• ...

More good news! Please!

The EU said they will be no exceptions. It's open or open.

The more I read about LMG, the more the structure of the company looks like a mob.

There is one guy with his wife at the top of the pyramid. The CEO and others are below. If the top of the pyramid has what it ask for, nobody will care about what's happening.
