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.
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?
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.

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.
Are we acting like the US isn’t the biggest surveillance state existing in all history?
So because there’s one app they don’t control the data on, we need to ban it? Sounds like the free market to me.
Let them try. They can probably delay it for maybe a year, but they absolutely will get fined 10% of global revenue.
Would also be nice if some of them started to suck so much on purpose, that other tech companies would gain traction.
Amazing and terrifying that EU seems to be the only world government to actually stand up against this late stage capitalism dystopia.
These rules actually makes sense. They actually protect both consumers and other companies around the whole world. And most importantly; they tackle a real world problem head on.
Bold. Bold to ask about Firefox alternatives on Lemmy.
Might as well criticise Linux while you’re at it.
You are too deep in the AI hate if you don’t think it works. And too ignorant if you don’t think it will improve
It’s only shit, if you don’t know how to use it. I’ve automated 15% of my work with scripts I wouldn’t have been able to without it.
Lemmy (handshake) Fear of AI
Honestly, you guys sound exactly like people afraid of the computer in the '90s.
You’ll only develop incompetence in the new tool.
And you can be sure whatever causes all major illness today, they know, but it’s too profitable to do anything about it.
The things the sugar industry knows for example, but everyone is turning a blind eye.
You seem like the guy who kept writing in hand and didn’t want to use the typewriter, even though it went 2x times faster.
Or the guy who kept writing the typewriter and didn’t want to use the computer.
You see the point?
Funny though, but opposite. Everyone cutting 1/5 of their job and formning a new one.
4 day work week is not about work, but about life.
Knowing what you know about USA, why are you still living there? /s
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.
