If Mozilla’s programs keep being more privacy friendly than Googles, then no.

If the enshitification continues, yes.

But something is bound to take Mozillas place, if they get worse, and that might be the best scenario.

Aah, the US.

The only place in the world where everyone knows the word ‘communism’ and nobody knows what it is.

Russia and China are not communism btw. :shocked Pikachu:

This is the way.

I for sure also want to access it on my Home Assistant, and it really can save alot of power to automate it. Even going down to 20C in the night, and make it going to 22C before anyone wakes up saves alot in a year.

But stay the fuck out of my data.

They call the product line ‘Nest’, because it’s where their data servers is getting nutrition from.

So Google is telling us, they cant make a product if there are standards or requirements for what they are doing?

That means whatever US customers are buying, theres something in it, that does something illegal in EU.

Same, good to find out though. Good thing is some phone manufatures will now actually have to do something about poor efficiency, if they want to sell more.

I always look at it when buying machines for my home, why not a phone.

How can you hate on smart homes, when it’s a concept in itself with 100 different use cases.

My home cuts of the power for my standby devices when I leave it and nobody’s there. It makes sure everything is locked at night. It literally saves me 100’s on heating.

My light dims and uses less power when the sun is down. Good for the eyes and the bill.

It can run my washing machine when power is cheapest.

So now, if it does all that, making sure less ressources are spent, both money and CO2, and privacy is good, then why on earth you even hate it, let alone have an opinion about it. Why you care?

It goes up if they dont comply. This is first offence since the law came into effect.

Maybe I know nothing, but my VPN always defaults to Netherlands in the EU.

Could it be that its just hosted there through some tunnel VPN or some shit?

I dont know how it works, so maybe its all wrong.

Exactly, and you dont need to be consistent in this case. You set examples for the biggest offenders, and then others would think twice.

Also, you need to qualify as a gate keeper to be in the lime light. EU is going for the biggest, not everyone at once.

And for the Amazon example: they are only big in some EU countries, and its not close to US popularity. They might not be a gate keeper here.

I think you would assume OpenAI and Microsoft had the backing for doing it though.

Great results. Would an AI build for this not be better, or is it just meant as a kind of benchmark for LLMs?

They already have credit score that you obtain by doing what they tell you to with your money.

EU is democratic, which also means everyone can propose a law. Never have EU put a backdoor into anything, but its true that there have been law proposals for it.

Never voted through.

EU could potentially make a group category like for Norway or Switzerland, and then take in other countries all around the world to cooperate more and stand together with the EU on some issues.

Canada would be a great candidate. Maybe even Australia, but I dont really know anything about their politics.

Everything is provocative if your dick is orange.

EU and its contries are pro open source and I fucking love it.

Yeah, the line for when its net positive is key. Otherwise we cant really draw conclusions.

Cant find anything in there thats worse than today tho.

The best news from this is that the EU is willing to go these ways. Incredible for consumers in the long run and to combat monopolies.

Yes, they could sponsor something else, but what we also really want are choices and competition.
