EU ‘right to repair’ law
The EU will soon require smartphone manufacturers to let users replace their batteries.
The tough new rules - endorsed by the European Parliament this week - could save millions of phones from landfill.

Palantir's CEO published a manifesto arguing Western tech firms have a "moral debt" to US military dominance, that AI weapons are inevitable, and that "some cultures are dysfunctional." This isn't just a regularly evil tech or defence contractor, it’s a fascist political project.
Screen cap of BBC Breakfast tweet: "Last year Richard Tice said Angela Rayner should resign if she had any moral decency, after she'd underpaid stamp duty. Should he also resign then by his own standards?"
BREAKING NEWS: Zia Yusuf Reluctant to Apply Same Standards to Richard Tice as Angela Rayner Shock!

Not much political judgement going on here if Isabel Oakeshott does not realise that Farage & Tice are senior members of the British establishment. Relevant here is that Oakeshott is the partner of Richard Tice jumping to the defence of Tice & his tax evasion.
A hundred years ago, the U.S. had a nationwide network of short-line railroads that connected most urban and rural communities. By the 1940s, most of it had been dismantled ... by the barons of the auto and oil industries. 😑
How quickly we forget. The liar boris Johnson was promoted to Foreign Secretary by Theresa May having failed the vetting process.
#ToryHypocrites
The most morally corrupt DOJ in US history.
Will Reform deputy leader Richard Tice now resign over fresh allegations about nudging another £100,000 tax after he demanded Angela Rayner quit over £40,000?
Changed his tune.
"A long career with multiple businesses is bound to feature some errors."

When will Donald Trump be prosecuted for the staged assassination which led to the death of two people?
In a nutshell. 😊
A decisive step for Europe’s digital future. The European Commission has awarded a €180 million, 6-year contract to European cloud providers, strengthening our capacity to manage sensitive data under EU rules. 1/2
Brexit didn't stop immigration or fix the economy.
Farage told his supporters to back Boris Johnson in the 2019 General Election, and he fully supported Liz Truss's budget himself.
So why are Reform MPs telling us that the wrong Brexit was delivered and complaining about Britain being broken?...
Roots of the current crisis:
Iran, 1953.
CIA fomented a coup against Mohammed Mossadegh, the legitimately elected President.
Mossadegh’s “crime”?
Nationalizing the foreign owned oil companies that were pumping Iranian oil.
If you know no history, everything is a mystery.
Clears it up a lot.
In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.
A march took place in Seoul today to show solidarity with Palestine, Lebanon, and Iran against the US-Israeli attacks.

This illustrates the need for broad and comprehensive reforms with money in politics. We need an international “No Dictators Day” before he steps up his attack on the nation he was supposed to govern, not humiliate. 😱🤬
This man is our nation’s enemy. He must be impeached. The world is watching.. 🤺🇺🇸
The Press knew. They laughed.
The Tories knew. They didn’t care.
All I see now is hypocrisy.
EU: The European Union will require sale of mobile phones with “user-replaceable and longer-lasting batteries” starting in 2027.
The regulation demands “availability of spare parts and manuals for 10 years to curb planned obsolescence”.
The only reason to announce a total victory before reaching a signed deal is to manipulate the markets for profit taking.
Boris Johnson didn't pass vetting when Theresa May appointed him Foreign Secretary.
The media must have missed that one.
In the meantime, our GOP-run Congress has decided it really doesn't want to know who is making inside trades with foreknowledge of Trump's tweets... because it knows exactly who.
Germany just activated its largest ever solar installation — one farm, 1.5 million homes, zero carbon. The #CottbusSolarPark covers 3,500 hectares and produces 2.1 tw-hours annually, replacing two coal plants that operated on this same land until 2022. #SolarPower #ActOnClimate #Renewables
Genuine question: after 6 weeks of bombing Iran, the US has almost run out of Tomahawk missiles, and their Navy is running out of food. Car companies are being asked to make weapons. Other public spending is being slashed to bits. What the hell is their $1 trillion a year military budget spent on?
