Why does Europe need the Digital Markets Act enforced NOW?
There is strong public support for the enforcement of our laws and curtailing the abuses of #BigTech. It is crucial for the future of Europe and that is why we think it's time to act.

They accuse the petitioners of demanding something that they have never demanded and point out negative effects that will never occur. Why are you doing this? Why doesn't the VGE argue honestly? Are they afraid that if they put forward the real arguments, their business model will collapse?
We are increasingly moving towards a world in which I have to buy a new cooking pot every 2 years because the manufacturer has developed a new model and thus deactivated the old one...

Inspired by some tech bro saying their algorithm found this writing so awful it couldn't process it. I decided to have a read. It's wonderful. Well written and interesting.
What's more. It made me think about door knobs and handles. Everywhere I've ever lived has had handles. To the point I've always thought lever style door handles were the norm. Door knobs are rare. So rare, that at a friend's house recently. I couldn't work out how to open the front door...

"The 1950s is an idealized era in the American imagination, and also an era of great prosperity. But there is also has a dark reality behind the shiny facade - alcoholism, abuse, depression and repression - and a regimented social and legal structure that relegated housewives to the status of indentured servitude."

Completely unrelated to OP, but does your Mastodon client open the quote posts in the client, or does it open a new page with the original link?
I ask because the Akkoma FE opens them in a new page and itโs annoying.

in reply to Fedinaut โ • • •Ich dachte es gibt Probleme damit, scheint aber korrekt zu funktionieren. Daher reply editiert.
Wenn du die Option mรถchtest, die Anzeige auszublenden, wรคre das ein neuer Feature Request. Die sind am besten als GitHub Issue aufgehoben, wo eben der Friendica Tracker ist.

in reply to wilhelm • • •Das bedeutet, dass mir Stand jetzt wirklich diese Anzeige bei jedem Bild aufgezwungen wird? Man hat als User da keinerlei Einfluss darauf?
Das ist aber dann eher suboptimal umgesetzt.

in reply to Serenityfreaksout • • •รbertragen auf UI-Design wรผrde das fรผr mich heiรen, dass Barrierefreiheit optional und in den Optionen gut auffindbar integriert ist.
Ich habe viel Verstรคndnis fรผr andere Ansichten; fรผr mich persรถnlich sollte รsthetik รผber Barrierefreiheit gehen.
Fedinaut โ
in reply to Serenityfreaksout • • •Aber doch bitte nicht mitten im Bild. Wenn ich daran denke, wie viel schรถne Fotos hier von Usern prรคsentiert werden und dann ist mitten im Bild so eine graue Box. Das zerstรถrt das komplette Bild.
Auรerhalb vom Bild gerne, aber nicht im Bild. Aber am besten wรคre, wenn jeder User selber entscheiden kรถnnte, ob das angezeigt bekommen mรถchte oder nicht.

in reply to Fedinaut โ • • •Franky_Tegeler :friendica:
Unknown parent • • •Ja, im groรen stimme ich dir zu. Dennoch kann ein ALT-Text auch in der App oder im Browser sinnvoll sein, da ich dort andere verkรผrzte oder grรถรere Infos zum Bild unterbringen kann. Es kommt wie immer darauf an was das Bild zeigt und was ich damit transportieren will.
