I struggle to understand why the EU commission is recommending people to use X. How else should the fact that the X logo is plastered all over their (our) web site be interpreted. It's a deeply irresponsible and harmful use of their power of influence.

After all that's happened and after all the pleading and campaigning by citizens. This is the kind of thing that truly makes you lose faith.

I can't even bring myself to tag them in this post. There's no point anyway.

Nearly half of Europeans would back banning X over EU law breaches

A new YouGov survey across Germany, France, Spain, Italy, and Poland shows nearly half of Europeans (47 percent) would back banning social media platform X from the EU if it continues to breach EU rules.

@eff correct me if I am wrong but this will be heavily illegal under EU AI law, right?

EFF:

"...The New York Times reported that Meta is considering adding face recognition technology to its smart glasses. According to an internal Meta document, the company may launch the product “during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.” ..."

Seven Billion Reasons for Facebook to Abandon its Face Recognition Plans

Meta’s analysis that it can avoid scrutiny by releasing a privacy invasive product during a time of political crisis is craven and morally bankrupt. It is also dead wrong.

@Vivaldi Please, add cookies separation/containerization between workspaces. Now when I can stack pages it makes even more sense!

I as a Vivaldi user want to improve my productivity thanks to separate containers in every workspace:
Workspace1: Work
Workspace2: Studies
I do not want e.g. MS Teams from my work to have the same cookies as Studies. Then I need to choose and think which e-mail to login with. If it was spearate (as it should imo) I could go to Studies workspace and study and chage to Work workspace and work - being logged in only to what I need and not to everything at once. In teams it is even possible if I wanted to login to 2 separate account on facebook it is not even possible.

Attacks against Sanchez like this one are taking up most of the feed that X's algorithm is forcing onto me today, proving Sanchez's point.

I hope it will be adopted EU wide ASAP.

I think it makes sense to let US companies know why we're not considered their offers when approached by their sales people.
I hope more people there will start to understand that their government actions have real consequences for the whole country, whether you voters for them or not.

Please note that the Trump regime continues to flagrantly, illegally withhold the Epstein documents and plainly has no intention of releasing them (at least until the apparatchiks can destroy/doctor the incriminating stuff).
