This Steve Jobs video on monopolies and Xerox feels… relevant.
Public transport in public hands 🙌
Affordable, accessible and reliable public transport is good for everyone.
Publicly owned services like Lothian Buses and Edinburgh Trams can put people first and reinvest profits in public services.
@ScottishGreens The public Transport worked great from a visitor point of view. Though the name Lothian Buses was confusing at first, it sounded like a private company.
Oooooh my custom made #TheFutureIsFederated sweatshirt has arrived at a pickup point! Going to retrieve it later today and I hope it turned out ok.
I intend to wear it at #FOSDEM on the big day for the Social Web talks.
All fingers and toes crossed it looks good and fits well. Otherwise I have two other Fedi t-shirts as backups 😅
Oh no! I just unpacked and tried on the sweatshirt. It's a different hue of green than on the site (olive), the writing is HUGE compared to my mockup so I need to stretch it out to get the message read, and lower on the sweatshirt. In short, a fail.
I used to create custom apparel at a local shop (always support your local artisans) but it went out of business after COVID, sigh.
I need to find a new one before FOSDEM. I'm on a mission to get this made 🥲

Meta, Microsoft and Google are all coordinating with the European far right in order to dismantle EU digital laws designed to protect citizens, according to a new report.
The recent 🇺🇸NSS strategy outlined regime change plans to support the European far right.
A public-private partnership.
US tech giants allying with Eu...
De gedachte achter het zorgsysteem in Nederland:
ZORG: zorg dat je het niet nodig hebt.
Daarom maken we het lekker ingewikkeld om goede zorg te krijgen. Je mag tien hokjes invullen maar alleen het elfde geldt.
Today, Danish Foreign Minister @LarsLoekke along with Greenland's local Minister of Foreign Affairs Vivian Motzfeldt will be meeting JD Vance and Marco Rubio at The White House.
With all the recent invasion threats coming out of The White House, it is a high stakes meeting, and fortunately for The Kingdom of Denmark, Mr. Loekke is one of the most experienced politicians in Parliament, who has negotiated with multiple US administrations.
@randahl @LarsLoekke remember shitler regime never tell the truth
@becha I just got a mail from battlemesh mail list. Are you behind the proposal to have it at Lika? It can't just be a coincidence 😁
@rtn of course i am 😊 no coincidences 😉 will you join? 💕
@pikarl Damit durfte ich mich vor nicht allzulanger Zeit mit einem Import aus Israel beschäftigen. Die Kosten kommen so zustande:
Buch + Versand * Umrechnung in EUR * Einfuhrumsatzsteuer. In deinem Beispiel also etwa:
29 CHF + 25,50 CHF = 54,50 CHF
In EUR, Stichtag 11.1.26: ~ 58,58 EUR
Einfuhrumsatzsteuer 7% (Weil Buch): 4,1006 -> 4,11 EUR
7,50 EUR verlangt DHL dann zusätzlich dafür, dass sie die 4,11 EUR kassieren.

Et spørsmål re skattedebatten: Hvor er alle de hypotetiske arbeidsplassene landet har gått glipp av?
Et av argumentene er at megarikingene skaper så mange arbeidsplasser, og at disse nå havner andre steder.
Men hvor er de?
Rederne har forlengst kvittet seg med norsk sjøfolk, så de hadde jo ikke skapt noen arbeidsplasser her uansett.
Butikkeierne legger jo ikke ned butikkene her selv om de flytter til Sveits.
Fabrikker anlegges uansett i lavkostland.
🎁 Just before the holidays, the European Commission granted Big Tech its Christmas wish-list: an unprecedented attack on our digital rights.
Together with LobbyControl, we analysed the proposed Digital Omnibus and mapped how closely it aligns with Big Tech’s lobbying demands. The result is alarming: what’s being framed as “cutting red tape” is actually about cutting rights.

Ich brauchte dringend ein Buch, das nur in der Schweiz herausgegeben und vertrieben wird. Zum Buchpreis (29 CHF) kommt Schweizer Zoll (29 CHF), deutsche Einfuhrabgaben (11,61 €). Und das ganze hat über eine Woche gedauert.
Ich mag ja die #EU.

@anj ok, now that is very cool how you can activate different parts of the diagram to describe different practices.
@ink thanks again! Yes, the idea is to try to map out the different tactics and how they relate to one another. Make them feel like a manageable family of tactics rather than an overwhelming menagerie of options.
