That is truly democratic. We should implement this in germany as well!

I guess the difference between addictive tech like social media and stuff like alcohol is the scale.

Alcohol is more a problem of an individual and its nearest people.

Big tech is a threat to democracy and the cohesion of society.

The addictive design of platforms, software and algorithms should be adressed, not the users age.

And the tech companies should be made responsible to design more healthy platforms, etc.

The problem is the design of tech, not the people using it.

Treachery

Absolutely

Russia is losing in Ukraine which does not have access to nukes. So you can project power without nukes.

However, to have ultimate deterence nukes are imperative.

I do not agree with the last sentences of the article. As a german I am sure Germany as an emerging military power will act in harmony with other European powers. Every European with some understanding of Europe knows the EU is the best answer we have to this new world order.

Also it is a false myth that Germany relied on cheap Russian energy. Yes it relied heavily on Russian energy, but it was not cheap. However, buying energy is more complex for germany now.

Is fidesz really that powerful?

I hope we won’t get more anti EU politicians in the future. But with the far right rising everywhere also in France and Germany, this becomes a real threat.

In Germany they find and defuse ww2 bombs in lots of city’s every year until today. It’s not even big news.

I the Iraq war Germany had a center left Chancellor. Now Germany has a center right Chancellor, who was fishing far right voters in his campaign. So it was expectable.

Chancellor Merz speech at the Munich Sicherheitskonferenz however was different from this.

Nevertheless I have the feeling europe is finally moving on its own interests. Sure we are depending on a lot of us tech. And so they currently have great influence on Europe, so we face difficulties and draw backs. But in the end all of Europe moves further away from the USA, no matter what they do.

Done!

Also open protocolls for data should be required by law. In order to break all these platforms.

I do not want to be forced to use WhatsApp just because everyone is using it.

Also I want to use devices from different manufacturers and combine them with each other. E.g. I want to be able to use garmin sensors/devices together withthr suunto sports watch or the withing scale etc.

Funny that USA and russia both name the same EU countries as key allies

Fuck them

German here… this is bullshit. Of course some people love combustion cars. But most people doesnt really care. Moste people care for price, safety, and functions.

No respect

Trump does not care for laws. If trump wants to do this, then he does it because he sees europe as an enemy. He wont care about legal terms. He cares about power. And unfortunately he has that power.

Fuck us tech
