It's worth knowing your audience.

As I write this there are 19 upvotes and ours are the only comments, which is off topic. If you want to react a broader audience you have to entice them. You have a lead in a title and link but no follow up, no insight, and with that very limited engagement about a great topic. Give a paragraph, or copy their lead paragraph. Write a reaction. A little bit of work on your part will generate a lot more interest of lemmy's, many of who will just scroll on by without clicking without a bit more reason to dive in.

Ah, you mean https://fightchatcontrol.eu/.

I am not aware of anything yet, apart from what the article suggests. https://digital-markets-act.ec.europa.eu/contact-dma-team_en

Ah yes, American exceptionalism. Silly me. Have to win as an underdog. If only we had education and learning history as part of our American ethos.

Exactly. I am curious how this has changed since BRICS was created, and also how current Cheeto in Chief policies will impact it over time.

OP, post a damn summary paragraph or something more than a title and a link. Tell me why I give and upvote, and get engaged. Help the author, help yourself.

I always wonder why people venerate Edison so much. He did innovate, but man was he a shifty barron.

For those in Europe, write your representatives.

Fro me f-droid's post: https://f-droid.org/2025/09/29/google-developer-registration-decree.html

What do we propose?

Regulatory and competition authorities should look carefully at Google’s proposed activities, and ensure that policies designed to improve security are not abused to consolidate monopoly control. We urge regulators to safeguard the ability of alternative app stores and open-source projects to operate freely, and to protect developers who cannot or will not comply with exclusionary registration schemes and demands for personal information.

If you are a developer or user who values digital freedom, you can help. Write to your Member of ParliamentCongressperson or other representative, sign petitions in defense of sideloading, and contact the European Commission’s Digital Markets Act (DMA) team to express why preserving open distribution matters. By making your voice heard, you help defend not only F-Droid, but the principle that software should remain a commons, accessible and free from unnecessary corporate gatekeeping.

Doesn't she realize how this could backfire on her in the future? If she can do it, then so can others.

Each myth is contiguous in each episode rather than being interweaved. Much more satisfying.

Replace it with Melissa Hortman or John Hoffman.

Just give up and get streamlined mythbusters. Easier to watch anyway.
