Here’s the actual top 10 over exporting countries of quartz. Not even in the top 5 for the US.
1 China $72,289,000
2 Turkey $68,161,000
3 India $43,827,000
4 Spain $27,107,000
5 Brazil $26,611,000
6 United States $21,351,000
7 Germany $16,791,000
8 Italy $13,219,000
9 Canada $12,225,000
10 Egypt $10,204,000
Well, that’s not true.
We say it because both US parties are very similar, and both of them are very right leaning compared to the rest of the western world.
It also indicates that’s there’s no democracy in the US, because there’s only really one choice.
Even the historical, biggest right wing party in Denmark would not remove any of the things you mentioned, except school lunches.
The EU ripple effect. Good job US, if it actually passes.
They try really hard to not comply for anyone else.
Which means it’s working really well and exactly as EU wanted to.
The title needs to say it’s only for the EU. 3rd party app stores for iOS are not coming to the rest of the world.
And for android you’d probably be able to get the APK, but I’m not sure how the in-app purchases will work outside of EU.
Save is also going away for most thinks, so I think you’re actually a little ahead of our time with that.
AI’s really just getting started, isn’t it.
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.
Haven’t seen this in the EU. Anyone knows if this is prevented here?
Seems like this practice is banned in the EU, yeah.
They ban it because TikTok won’t do western propaganda exclusively. You can’t even say in the media that Israel is wrong, even if you use 100% documented sources.
Of course they do. They have acted like they got a choice for too long, so it’s good to see they won’t get away with it.
Whoever wrote this blog post missed the point in the way the fediverse is decentralised.
It’s not about hosting. It’s about ownership. And that means hosting can change at any moment. Because no one company decides anything.
That’s why we really want the fediverse. Because it’s not build for late stage capitalism and monopolies.
Amazing work by the EU.
Hamas, the government of Palestine, is the enemy.
Yeah, if you side with the oppressor. You know that Israel starved Gaza for 3 weeks before Hamas even responded?
They literally cut off food, clean water, medical supplies for 3 fucking weeks before the first attack. People’s family were dying in the hospitals completely unnecessarily.
Ask yourself if you honestly think that anyone else would act differently. Do you honestly think that you would act different when you see your father/mother/brother/sister die because Israel blocked off all your help because of “politics”?
That’s the story that doesn’t reach the US and many places in the western world. How it all began.
And if you really want to know how Palestine has been fucked over, you’d have to go back to 1945. When you know the history, there’s no fucking way you would side with Israel.
War is always political or religious.
Also very good points. This is in general a very good move by the EU, and I’d wish we had it as a currency in my country.
It’s also a choice to use, so if you don’t like it then keep use your VISA/MasterCard.
How else would the mega rich be able to buy up the property and rent out the spaces for normal people to finance?
