I shared this article with my family and the response was "well it's depressing and sucks, but we have no choice"... basically big tech has convinced them all to capitulate already
Defeatist attitude is bullshit. Little steps like EU pushing right to repair and forcing apple to adopt usb-c and stop creating e-waste give me hope....
I dunno how you feel over there in europe. Seems like EU is trying to do the right thing sometimes whereas over here the gov't doesnt bother to try and hide the fact that they are fully in bed with big tech and helping to move us along to technofeudalism as quickly as possible
EU is protecting our rights as customers while trying to implement laws to spy on all of us.
