In surprise news, convicted monopolists @google & @apple argue anti-monopoly rules are preventing them from exploiting their monopolies. Both are requesting @ec.europa.eu stop being mean, ditch DMA & let them exploit users with impunity

@benquick.social, yeah pretty much what you said
I have a couple of comments about the "free speech hero" narrative about Charlie Kirk.

First, was Charlie Kirk really notable for supporting the free speech of people he disagreed with? I haven't noticed that, though I could have missed it.

@microsoft.com if I'd wanted to move all my files to one drive & delete them, I would have done that. Can you stop doing that please.

Spare a thought for the IDF today. They were out all day yesterday shooting innocent people trying to get bags of flour, and when they got home they had to find out the heartbreaking news that some people at Glastonbury don't like them. That cannot be good for your mental health.

Isn't it wonderful how @yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social & the British government just showed the world how to defeat privacy & made everyone less safe.

@bsky.app the app seems pretty broken on Android right now. I cant, tap to view a post or profile. Scrolling is intermittent.
