That's the insane part.

The companies charges the people for the tarrifs = gets their money.

The companies sues the government for the money they took from the people = gets more money.

Almost like that was the plan to begin with.

Are you arguing for Nintendo being as evil as the US government, or what is the point here.

[–] themurphy@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 days ago

That was a proposal never voted through.

Nintendo evil for locking down emulators, using it's market power to smash small indie etc etc.

US evil for raping children, killing them, kills civilians, destroying millions of lives, bombing other countries, deporting families, stealing tax payer money etc etc.

Yeah, good comparison you idiot..

That's true for billing and fees, but not for 3rd party app stores.

The app stores inside Google Play would be 2nd party app stores.

Because they were forced by the EU. It's still a US company.

Oh fuck, that's the goal isnt it. Gaming with internet locked behind a paywall.

Patriotism is just the US word for nationalism.

Yes, like I said.

They are not obligated to give it to you at the "wrong" price, but at the same time it's illegal to put up the sign if it's misleading with the wrong price on purpose.

They are then obligated to fix the sign, otherwise it's misleading.

Best shot is that EU will make it possible, as they distance themselves from US tech right now.

It's illegal in Germany, but not in the way you think.

It's illegal to write to wrong price on the sign on purpose, but if it happens by accident the shop is not obligated to sell at the price on the sign.

That's it. You is blowing this way out of proportion.

 

Chat Control didnt pass - they didnt even vote because they were afraid the result would be embarassing.

And we got told so many times, that EU now wants Chat Control. But it was a big fat lie.

EU is a democracy with different opinions, and when a small group of facists tries to read your chats, it does not represent the EU opinion.

But the whole media got you thinking so. Proving even on Lemmy, you and me are extremly prone to propaganda.

I quoted the article here with the news:

In a major breakthrough for the digital rights movement, the German government has refused to back the EU’s controversial Chat Control regulation yesterday after facing massive public pressure.

The government did not take a position on the proposal.

This blocks the required majority in the EU Council, derailing the plan to pass the surveillance law next week.

 

For me it would probably be Canada. Seems like we share alot of values with them, and we could do more trading than we do today.

Especially if they also will have tensions with the US, it would be a win win.

But what do you guys think? Northern Africa would be an obvious choice in the future, but I don't know if they're ready.

PS. This is not a post talking about leave the US entirely. Ofc not. It would just be better for us to work with others and expand our worldview a little.
