And what exactly changed in the EU as a result? Can they now really resell games on Steam in the EU?

Europe is moving to block Microsoft, Amazon, and Google from handling government health, financial, and legal data

i mean its a bit of an improvement. If the US keeps sliding into authoritarianism and obviously sponsoring anti-european agitation we should probably stop feeding them money and data.

Mass asset sell-offs by these governments in the 80s to make boomers into petit bourgeoisie to flex on the soviets hasn't exactly left them flush with cash or assets.

On top of that, the boomers now in charge hardly have the political will to even try to build anything in-house with existing free and/or open source software because they're under the impression that privatization will work again because it did for them.

They can't or don't want to realize that the trick only works once and it inevitably creates an oligarchy that can and will outsizeably influence the country's politics, which inevitably leads to some guy who is able to ride a grievance wave during elections right into office where he becomes president, gathers enough influence from the oligarchs to purge the disloyals and consolidate power, creating a fascist state - a union of corporate and government power against the people like what happened in Russia and whats slowly happening in the US.

you are not separate from nature. everything you do to hurt the world hurts you too.

I say this as i take my pharmaceutical mass-produced amphetamine, factory made plastic sheets lined with artificial hormones that maintain my estrogen exactly where it should be, put on my makeup, my clothes of perfect fit made by machines in asia consisting of synthetic fibers, take out my semiconductor magic device connected by radio waves, tap on it in an alphabet of a language i wasn't raised in, follow the instructions of the sights and colours of the organic light emitting diode god and head out onto concrete walkways lined with skyscrapers to get food from a market originating in a cuisine half a world away in a country I've never been, sold by a second gen immigrant who finds it a bit icky as she whispers in a tongue i do not know and never will, to pay with currency i earn pretending my job isn't pointless to other people with pointless jobs from the sanctity and warmth of my ex-office building renovation.

Meanwhile people in nature died of diarrhea and shit. Typhus. The anticiv rightoid chuds want us to die of preventable diseases. Steve Irwin was killed by a random Lovecraftian freak himself lol.

Modernity, technology is all good, nature is a canvas for humanity's hubris and it's a good thing it's mostly gone as a concern for us. Capitalism is the real problem.

Britain becoming ‘soft target’ for Russian propaganda, says security expert

Yeah, my very former classmates seem bewildered when I mention books we read for GCSE Literature. My grades weren't good at all compared to said former classmates.

Its kind of shocking, do they just memorize stuff like robots for a few months then flush that memory?

I could never do that, if i learned something, I likely still at least remember learning it, snd if i didn't then i still remember not understanding it.

I can't hunker down and just memorize or somehow learn something without actually processing it and learning it proper, doesn't matter how important, but then again I was later diagnosed with ADHD.

If you look at the yougov voting intention poll by age it becomes very obvious that predominantly young, online-informed people are actually voting Green, Lib Dem, Labour etc.

If you look at the elderly boomers, age 50-65 and 65+ then its all Reform and the Conservatives.

If you further look at where people get their information based on age, on which there are many reports including by yougov, you'll see that boomers get it much more from TV, tabloids, radio etc. At first i was confused at the radio bit but It makes sense - they own cars and listen to radio while in them.

The call is coming from inside the house. This is a transparent call to internet censorship to stop left-wing discourse about the Epstein alliance and their wars in the middle east that the establishment finds unpalatable and drive the young to believe in right-wing lies. Kremlin's own rolling internet blackouts in Russia won't be far behind this initiative for the UK and the think of the children types on here will fall for it hook line and sinker, probably support it as Lemmy goes away even.

Lol Nigel and his pals have had support since forever. The NF and the london race riots weren't all that long ago. Boomers didn't vanish since then.

Britain becoming ‘soft target’ for Russian propaganda, says security expert

I had those exact kinds of lessons in GCSE history in 2014. It didnt matter, when i spoke to my classmates years later about it as working adults reminiscing they looked at me bewildered that i remembered something like that, they didn't seem to recall whatsoever anything specific they learned at school, even though i was the one who was awful at school and had way worse grades.

And its not just online, the traditional media is increasingly untrustworthy too, Ofcom has absolutely failed to tackle everything from GBNews to the increasingly obvious mask off reform support coming out of the BBC etc.

People in UK spend fewer years in good health than a decade ago, study finds

LainTrain @lemmy.dbzer0.com 1mo ago

And when you do get quite literally sick from it all, good luck finding care, you're SoL most places for physical health, and for mental don't even bother, all you're gonna get is more stress trying to do the seemingly impossible task of getting an appointment, and when you are one day crippled and bedridden in hospital corridor, the RAC concrete will at last put you out of your misery.

Lashing out at the wrong people? Who's that exactly?

I blamed "govcorp" in my post, by which i meant the corporations, the capitalists who own them and the bastards that protect them and serve them in government run by and for the corporate scum in an increasingly fascistic manner, the corpos get data, state assets and cash, and govt gets money and cushy jobs.

Word might be a bit cheesy, but it's a good one for the increasingly clear apparatus emerging in our present day dystopia.

Who do you think i should be blaming? Immigrants? Trans people? Young people? Muslims? Because thats what the papers owned by the aforementioned 'govcorp' bastards would like you to think. Blame the weak. Blame the vulnerable. Blame anyone but them.
