Yes they did. Its a new precedent set based on anticompetitive practices. Shouldn’t be hard to understand.

I know the US is a full blown oligarchy where a few men are allowed to control everything, but the EU actually has some standards.

I’m fairy sure the guy above said “use X” not use social media. X is a particularly shitty platform.

No. The GDPR is an all encompassing law, the logic of which being giving people THE CHOICE to let apps personalise their ads, or not. Apple takes away that choice by not allowing tracking by default on a per-app basis. This is what is at stake.

What Apple is doing is indeed disrespecting the spirit of the law by taking away the choice of being tracked, while also damaging EU businesses who rely on advertising because believe it or not, there are many small app creators as well as small advertising companies operating in the EU.

Its not the EUs fault that US companies keep breaking the law. Don’t break the law, don’t get fined. It really is simple. EU companies aren’t getting these fines.

Yeah, that’s the thing about Sear. You can customise it how you want and that’s it. No need to let some corpo be in control of what and how you see your results.

I meant to say SearXNG. Still being maintained.

I’ve tried SearXNG and stayed there. And it costs me a whole 0€ per month. 10€/month for a search engine is insane.

Wasn’t Google in the middle of an antitrust investigation?

For my Americans across the pond, I ask earnestly:

What could Russia do today that would cement themselves as an unparalleled oligarchy where just a few people control everything with no regard for anybody else in their country, that the US isn’t already doing?

Yep, this is the explanation. People are still trying to rationalize “why do this in months, its all gonna collapse!” not understanding that collapse is the actual point.

When was it the last time a Christian did that? Other than JWs who have stopped knocking on doors like 9 years ago.

Btw, I’ve 100% had Hare Krishna’s and other “better yourself” religions bothering me for money. And christianity is a “better yourself” type of religion, too.

There’s so much wrong with your comment that really, all the downvotes you are getting are totally warranted.

Doesn’t Migadu work for calendars? Its a bit finicky, but I used these instructions and it worked for me.

Not sure about contacts though.

Wow. They offer that? Do you know how it works?

I understand your fears, I really do.

Its just… I don’t think we’re totally lost yet, thank God. I’m hoping people keep being somewhat aware that fascism is not the way, even if it’s being increasingly promoted on the internet.

Let us do our part as well. Keep boycotting the US, keep protesting against Israel and Russia in public. There is little else we can do, but these things are powerful on their own as long as we don’t lose momentum.

The other one is a manual labourer or simple job worker bubble - I see a lot more diversity there, many people falling for different kinds of propaganda, superstition, fearmongering. Some of those are already hardcore nazis, some of them are sympathizers in some ways.

That’s fine, I’m not gonna disagree with this, however I don’t see these people as a large, organized group that is bigger than the anti-Israel, anti-Russia status quo.

They usually get informations from the TV, newspapers and friends, partially online as well - mostly Facebook.

From TV, really? Maybe if you’re talking about Fox News… That sort of TV doesn’t exist in most European countries, Thankfully.

From the internet though yeah, i agree. But again, these aren’t apolitical people at that point, if they are getting so involved in political discussions like that.

I’m talking the West that had Mussolini hanged upside down out on the public square once fascism was put to practice. The same west that had Hitler and his peers put a bullet to their heads, once their ideology was implemented.

Yes, these ideologies were invented in the West, doesn’t mean we accept them wholeheartedly once they are implemented.

Open class war. They know, sadly most workers don’t seem to see it.

Right? I think Lemmy is way more conducive to conversations than Reddit.

I think you’re also in a bubble though.

Which is why I’m talking about people who aren’t terminally online degenerates like us.

People who are largely apolitical, like my friends and family, none of them support Russia.

I even went to a few protests in front of the Russian embassy. Would you be surprised to know that there were exactly zero protests in Russia’s defense in my country?

I respectfully disagree. Cultural backgrounds also play a role and Russia and China have never known democracy.

Fascism in practice (not as a demented dream) is a harder sell in the West although we’re not immune to it and we should 100℅ remain vigilant and fight its grown at all costs.
