The EU is stupid for doing this deal. We shouldn’t agree to it.

The EU should build its own army of armies instead and say “fuck off” to the USA!

Another reason to ditch Microsoft software in favour of FOSS (free and open source software).

Fuck those pickups, they’re hilariously oversized and the job can easily be done with a trailer. Plus those big cars consume way more energy, being way more expensive than worth. Even with leases and all that, it ain’t worth.

Fuck Russia. I will celebrate when Putler is dead.

And to where exactly are the servers moving? And why do they still have a Twitter link?

Transparency is key!

Bitwarden adheres to US law, though. That said, best to self-host.

Psono, that one’s German.

Hmm… how about /e/OS?

Annoying though that the Google Pixel is said to be one of the most privacy-friendly… i don’t trust it, but why is that even said?

A RECOMMENDATION: TURN UPSIDE DOWN IF IT’S A BAD PRODUCT.

Regional
No Thanks (Apple store) - Android store for Palestine stuff. Collects no data at all. This is the app I would first recommend. Scan product, see result.

Buy Beaver - Canadian-focused initiative. Lets you pick countries to support. Collects mail address and device ID, but nothing more.

Detrumpez Vous - focused on finding whether a product is American or not.

Supranational (European)
Buy From EU - find European alternatives. Not necessarily scanning, but useful. Collects mail/sms, but that’s it.

Buy European AI - lets you take a picture of the product, find European alternatives & that of allies. Anonymously collects rough location & photo (the latter makes sense though).

General
There’s Boycat, also as app, which is user-friendly, but their privacy policy states your data may be stored outside of your legal jurisdiction.

I dunno, I feel like it is possible for a company to be worker-owned with workplace democracy, where the highest-earning worker earns only one and a half times as much as the lowest earning, instead of hundreds of times more.

And even then, I think wages shouldn’t be a thing at all - but instead that economies should be need-focused, rather than profit-focused.

It would be great if for example woodcutters delivered wood directly to farmers, farmers food directly to woodcutters, and truck drivers received goods directly from both, and so on.

No wages, just cooperation without monetisation.

Oh hey, thanks! That’s actually pretty useful. Saved.

It’s exactly what I’m looking for, design-wise. If the app also had a customisation option for billionnaire companies without workplace democracy and the like…

There’s also BuyFromEU, BuyEuropean AI (that one is closest to what I meant) and Boycat, now that I looked further.

Coca Cola is owned by The Coca Cola Company, whose owner (or well, group with largest share) is Berkshire Hathaway Inc., owned by Warren Buffett (with his successor being Greg Abel). Ajit Jainil is a vice chairman, whose cousin was a co-CEO of the Deutsche Bank.

Coca Cola also sponsored Trump.

Duracell is one of the biggest part of Berkshire, but there’s way more. Some holdings and subsidiaries have sub-holdings and subsidiaries!

It also has insurance companies which invest in policy premiums in some companies, up to many billions. Visa, Mastercard, Kraft Heinz, T-mobile, Mitsubishi, to name a few.

Companies are evil. Every single one that’s big is one too many.

We should develop an app, downloadable from multiple app stores, to automatically scan a product and see if it’s ultimately owned by a billionnaire and where some companies don’t have workplace democracy. And the app should offer alternatives, from which you can order. Can someone on Lemmy here do it?

Idk, I never held the US in high regard. The Canadians were better.

Fyra-drama, iemand?

Nederland laat overigens wel al meerdere treinbedrijven rijden, kijk maar naar de stoomtrein tussen Hoorn en Medemblik, of de hogesnelheidstrein tussen Amsterdam en Parijs/Londen/Berlijn/Brussel.

De klachten van de EU zijn dus ongegrond.

Oftewel, Mona Keijzer wil ervoor zorgen dat verhuurders de woningmarkt vastgelopen blijven houden.
