Except THIS is not how any of this works!....

#Trump literally lashing out against friends and neighbours will only backfire hard, and I expect @EUCommission and @europarl_en to enact #PrizeFreezes for #US #products & #services whilst forcing #Retaliatory #Tariffs on all US #products and espechally #services, demanding 100%+ in all #fees, and #revenue of #GAFAMs' services and products to the point that they'll effectively cancel half their revenue that flows back.

  • Plus forcing all products and services to be processed and sold via a #EU-based #corporation and adding a 30% "#AlienTax" as the #USA already does for i.e. #App #developers that ain't from the US even if they never sold a single license to a US customer.

Not to mention cancelling any #DataProtection agreements that only stalled the foreseeable court decision that #CloudAct is incompatible with #GDPR, thus banning #Office365 / #Microsoft365, #iCloud et. al. from the EU!

Given #Trump can't be assed to even fake any #loyality or #allied status even for the cameras, this is a #ForeseeableConsequence.

Unless we want to end up #downgraded into the state of a US-occupied overseas possession without statehood, like #Guam, #PuertoRico or #AVI...

@ajsadauskas @JessTheUnstill @tomiahonen @fuchsiii obviously, that would've been a good standard for everyone, given that almost all non-#Gaming #Apps these days are #WebApps and at that point we'd not have 100+ MB #bloatware that essentially just loads a #Website and can't even cache shit!

Personally I believe the @europarl_en & @EUCommission could do that and establish as well as enforce an #EC #norm, just as they did with #USBc, #CCS2 and #GDPR!

#Android needs to be better as in being more than just the "lesser evil" compared to iOS!

@ai6yr @briankrebs OFC this targets #TechIlliterates and the only effective means here are:

  1. Teach #TechLiteracy instead of consumerism.
  2. Mandate #confirmation & #notification - #PopUp|s for every use of #Clipboard (similar to #webcam use by websites)...
  3. Ban #JavaScript - seriously!
  4. Ban #Windows, because it's a #Govware, espechally since #Windows10 and even more so on #Windows11 that is *insecure in every configuration!
  5. Put #TechIlliterates before a system they can't feck up. I.e. @tails_live @tails / #Tails for that reason alone (can't run such commands if they neither got #root nor any #persistent #storage to target).
  6. Normalize the use of @torproject #TorBrowser!
  7. #Teach #tech #literacy instead of #consumerism!
  8. Ban #GAFAMs and their shitty products!
  9. Migrate every #TechIlliterate to #Linux and don't give them administrative privilegues.
  10. Teach tech literacy instead of consumerism!

I want @EUCommission & @BMWK to #ban #AntiRepairDesign as pioneered and rolled out by #Apple and copied by a lot of others!

Anything else is undue #Leniency against any #GAFAMs that build #unrepairable #electronics!

Exiger l’interopérabilité des #GAFAMS est absurde, inutile et dangereux.

— "Les mails c'est interoperable" Ouais... En attendant, on ne sait toujours pas ce que fait Google avec Gmail, ça n'empêche pas aux gens de l'utiliser en masse, idem pour Microsoft.
Non seulement ils font ce qu'ils veulent mais on ne peut pas réguler quoi que ce soit.

On en parle du système XMPP ouvert, libre, open-source et interoperable, verrouillé par Google ?

Une fois de plus, l'interopérabilité n'a RIEN RÉGLÉ
[1/2]

@protonmail This is also no hypothetical.

Several cases have been recorded where #Google and #Microsoft automatically banned people and even called #Cops on them with the refusal of said #GAFAMs to admit they're wrong.

One case was peticularly astonishing of a parent sending photos of their child having skin irritation in the genital area and asking if they should get to the hospital now or book an appointment the next day.

One might assume that Google would've gotten the context right...

@Puck EXACTLY!

I specificically chose the :fediverse: with :activitypub: because I don't want to deal with the #GAFAMs - espechally #NSAbook and espechally not since :birdsite: :twitter: went to shit.

@stux of all the people should've known that.

I don't want to work for, with or support any of those GAFAMs and espechally not "#Meta" or whatever bs. name #Favebook gives itself.

(Anyone who dares to say a# corporation can be a "#victim" of #deadnaming will get instantly blocked -period!)

Bon, les gens, faites un petit effort... Vous êtes sur le #FÉDIVERSE, c'est pas le royaume des #GAFAMS ici, alors quand vous postez une vidéo, avant de choisir YouTube, regardez si elle n'est pas déjà sur #PeerTube !!!
