How else would the mega rich be able to buy up the property and rent out the spaces for normal people to finance?

Let’s hope they both get the fine and are forced to make the changes afterwards.

They really do deserve it, and the money could be used somewhere else.

Google already got hit a few years back.

Google suffered one of its biggest setbacks on Wednesday when a top European court fined it 4.125 billion euros ($4.13 billion) for using its Android mobile operating system to thwart rivals, offering a precedent for other regulators to ratchet up pressure.

literal screams of frustration trying to coordinate mice.

Hold on boys, there’s an actual chance that our generation will be gamer gods for all time to come.

O.o

And I assume that it may also vary from prison to prison, as prisons are privatised in the US?

Jesus, people don’t even get internet access in US prisons?

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

They try really hard to not comply for anyone else.

Which means it’s working really well and exactly as EU wanted to.

That’s exactly what I’m saying. I’m not sure about the Galaxy store though, as it’s only available on their own hardware.

That’s because there’s more to the DMA than the 3rd party app stores. It also means that Google/Apple are not allowed to charge their 30% if an app developer uses their own payment platform.

Today a company like Spotify has to pay 30% of its subscription models to Google/Apple, it it’s bought through the app - same with Epic if the launched an app store for its games.

This is very predatory and monopolistic behavior, and that’s why it’s not illegal to do in the EU anymore. And Google opposed this because it was their biggest cash cow on Android.

The title needs to say it’s only for the EU. 3rd party app stores for iOS are not coming to the rest of the world.

And for android you’d probably be able to get the APK, but I’m not sure how the in-app purchases will work outside of EU.

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.

AI’s really just getting started, isn’t it.

Even though this is a great idea, it’s also incredibly unreasonable.

There will be people cheating the hell out of this, because let’s face it. What people need is not a free computer. They need food and money.

What ever that is possible to scrape from these machines, the market will open for it today if you launch your computer tomorrow.

It’s a nice thought, but it’s the wrong way going around this. If you really want to make a difference, you open up your business somewhere in an area you want to help and you create jobs.

Stable income is a sure way road to decrease in crinimal activity and a more safe society. THEN you can consider providing free stuff, when there’s no reason to abuse it.

Maybe I’m too pessimistic, and I’d love to be convinced otherwise.

I believe we in Norway and Denmark identify ourselves much more as socialists than Sweden.

This guy just drawed out socialism and it sounds amazing. Still, people are afraid of it even though the most well off countries in the world are socialistic countries (northern Europe)
