Thank you very much

Oh, that sounds awesome, can you point me in the right direction?

Yeah, well the DMA wasn’t going to cost most EU politicians much of their good ol’ corporate lobbying monies. But switching the EU off of Micro$oft would definitely not only lose those funds, but also introduce way more vigorous counter-lobbying.

One pro of the EU’s glacial pace is that they frog-boil the shareholders, meaning most counter-lobbying activities are relatively tame.

But damn, do I wish they would just give the finger to all those american corporations and start a 4-year transition to OSS.

Gotta LOVE the EU, they’re working at a glacial pace but sooner or later (most likely later) it changes the landscape for the better.

If only enshittification would happen slow enough for the EU to catch up to.

Ah damn, the one making Ben Shapiro cry was Andrew Neil.

Soooo many broken regulations

Am a heavy metal dude. Can confirm that I absolutely disapprove of this weak ass faker.

If you feel threatened in your manliness from checks notes … wait what? Eating soup?! Ironing? Crossing ones legs? Successful women?

Dude can’t handle soup! Soup!!

Asshole needs to grow a spine and put a brain on it.

Verdict: Not metal

“People who fought for freedom from the USSR were genociding it.”

If you read the resolution and the answers of national governments why they abstained, the answer is found in points 4 and 14 of the resolution, where everyone who fought against the anti-Hitler coalition is condemned and equivocated with nazi-sympathisers. This does include people who opportunistically fought againt the Red Army in the baltic states and Ukraine for national liberation from the USSR, but not necessarily on the german side.

Yes, some of those “national liberation fighters” were absolute shitbag nazi scum, but not all of them were and history is generally more complex than just good and bad.

There was a movement to restrict those two points to language that does not automatically include these anti-soviet forces among the ranks of the nazis, but the changes were not adopted.

Some politicians posit the hypothesis that the resolution was worded in such a way through russian string pulling, because they wanted to be able to paint every anti-russian fighter in the time of the second world war as pro-Hitler.

Never felt so much more in control than when ditching Windows and installing first Linux Mint and later Kubuntu. Gonna try Arch in the future to feel like a god and completely in control over what happens on my machine.
