Sollen Meta, Google, Apple und Amazon endlich einen "fairen Beitrag" zum EU-Haushalt leisten? 🤔 Das EU-Parlament sagt: ja – und zwar dringend.
Zum Artikel: #digitalsteuer

Auf dem Bild sind mehrere App-Icons von großen Tech-Unternehmen zu sehen. Unter anderem die YouTube-App und der Facebook-Messenger. Im Bild steht: "EU-Parlament fordert Milliarden-Digitalsteuer 
für Big Tech". Darunter steht: "Die Abgeordneten wollen Konzerne wie Meta, Google und Amazon stärker zur Kasse bitten und so den EU-Haushalt sanieren."

The greatest trick tech companies ever pulled was convincing people they were offering services for free.
They were never “free” since they were about lock-in, hurting competition, and shifting who was paying for things.
I see this as a challenge for the small web, as we need to convince people their freedom is worth paying for.

Звісно, не обійшлося без дрібних речей по типу напівзатоплених уранових шахт, в яких Лара купається в пуховичку і мило покашлює, значків "Знак якості СРСР" на воротах концтабору та динаміту (який в реальності чорта з два совки довірили б ув'язненим).
А, ну і глибоко в душі Лара — злобний агент НАТО. Та й вся гра страшна. Вважаю, її (а краще всю серію) треба в РФ заборонити.
За русофобію.

A healthy (in body and mind),
active, frugal, sociable, mostly offline citizen
who is highly educated and informed, in full control of their data, avoiding Big Tech’s platforms and algorithms,
with a positive self-esteem and self-image,
is probably persona non grata for the tech billionaires.
But a small, insignificant nuisance, like a fly

Better (six years) late than never? :)
#JavaScriptDatabase

JavaScript Database (JSDB) logo: it’s the common flowchart symbol for a database (stacked cylinders based on the disk packs used in early computing) on the lower right-hand corner of a yellow background. The yellow is the colour of the JavaScript icon and the location of the database symbol matches where the JS letters are on the JavaScript logo.

Big Tech ist Meister der Steuervermeidung. Die Politik reagiert mit einem „Plattform-Soli“.

The other, Applejack, has light yellow hair, a Stetson hat and a green scarf, and is relaxing with her eyes closed. In the background, a red barn with a weather vane and a white fence is visible, along with a garden gate and scattered fallen leaves. The sky is…
