Academic. The EU has already done it and so we in the UK already have it. Our market just isn't big enough, relative to it's locality, to do something different. Whatever the EU does just washes over us. Only now we have no say in the what that is or how it is implemented.

We have wins before, via groups like EEF. There are Pirate Parties and all kind of Right To Repair and digital freedom groups. The corporations don't want us to fight or even have a voice.

Technical fixes only work for the technical and often it's technically working against the law. We need the law on our side, not the corporations. So we need to engage with law as much as technology. Or we end having to break technologies like secure boot and laws.

This is the problem with digital serfdom, those lording it over us aren't perfect either. Not only should we be able to connect our cars to our own server, we should be able inspect provided server implementation to see if it's a bag of nails.

Our emperor Elon gave him a fair trial in a court of his peers before serving out the sentence?

Totally not unchecked power right?

Not diametrically apposed to Right To Repair right?

Have a spoonful of horseradish and tell me British food is all bland. Or Marmite.

It's just an excuse to not do his job. Too much like work.

Those people just happened to include a load Russia soldiers who happened to on holiday there.

Viktor Yanukovych being kicked out was by actural Ukrainians.

I don't see them the same.

Anyway, I'm done here. I keep ending up in these long threads with tankies / trolls from lemmy.world, life is too short.

Ukrainians can remove their leaders. Russia doesn't get to do that and they failed so far this time round. Though they have managed to seize yet more land.

Viktor Yanukovych may well have been elected fairly at the time. But he up set his people and then thought it was ok to authorize live ammo on his own people.

He may not have started as a Russian puppet, but he certainly looked like one at the end.
