🤔 Ah, yes, let's summon the EU overlords to demand that companies open-source their obsolete toaster firmware and abandoned smart scale apps! Because the real tragedy here is not world hunger, but the inconvenience of manually tracking your weight. 📉💀

@ngate why the fuck would a toaster need a firmware, and why the fuck would some shit ass company make 'smart scale' devices that they didnt plan to keep supporting? Do these parasites think products they sell will support themselves, or does the current fascism problem make them giddy because people are too busy to make better choices at the marketplace?

Lmao what is this account?
