I just want to pay for a product one time (and only one time), know that it’s going to work flawlessly, press 0 to speak to an operator if I need help
I don’t want to connect my coffee machine to the wifi network. I don’t want to share the file with OneDrive. I don’t want to download an app to check my car’s fluid levels. I don’t want to scan a QR code to view the restaurant menu. I don’t want to let Google know my location before showing me the search results. I don’t want to include a Teams link on the calendar invite. I don’t want to pay 50 different monthly subscription fees for all my software. I don’t want to upgrade to TurboTax platinum plus audit protection. I don’t want to install the Webex plugin to join the meeting. I don’t want to share my car’s braking data with the actuaries at State Farm. I don’t want to text with your AI chatbot. I don’t want to download the Instagram app to look at your picture. I don’t want to type in my email address to view the content on your company’s website. I don’t want text messages with promo codes. I don’t want to leave your company a five-star Google review in exchange for the chance to win a $20 Starbucks gift card. I don’t want to join your exclusive community in the metaverse. I don’t want AI to help me write my comments on LinkedIn. I don’t even want to be on LinkedIn in the first place. I just want to pay for a product one time (and only one time), know that it’s going to work flawlessly, press 0 to speak to an operator if I need help, and otherwise be left alone and treated with some small measure of human dignity, if that’s not too much to ask anymore.

Very good thread on why Europe should regulate more stringently X and Meta social media, and possibly shut them down
🧵Proposta impopolare e soffertamente illiberale: L’Europa dovrebbe regolamentare in modo stringente ed eventualmente chiudere X e i social di Meta. Perché l'opzione chiusura dovrebbe essere normalizzata nel dibattito pubblico: 👇 1/17

Apparently Italy has forgotten to sign this @FrancesDiBi @Internazionale
79 @IntlCrimCourt member States denounce sanctions imposed by @realDonaldTrump and pledge support to international criminal justice. European nations, and well beyond, putting day light between themselves and the US's undermining of international law and its sacrosanct institutions.

The US props up the Kagame regime in Rwanda, which is actively destabilizing the DRC to prevent sovereignty over critical minerals that US tech and military firms require, and which the US wants to keep cheap and available for exploitation. This should be a bigger story.
