No matter the geography, a common reality emerges: those least responsible for the crisis are on the frontlines of confronting it. In doing so, they are not only protecting their territories, but safeguarding the ecosystems that sustain life on Earth, often at great personal risk.

My personal conclusion can however not end up with anything else than that the big hype around this model so far was primarily marketing. I see no evidence that this setup finds issues to any particular higher or more advanced degree than the other tools have done before Mythos. Maybe this model is a little bit better, but even if it is, it is not better to a degree that seems to make a significant dent in code analyzing.
At this beginning stage of the death spiral of #BigTech, they will become more #dangerous than before. They still have immense #power and resources, but the remaining employees will be more obedient and transactional since that's what it takes to keep your job amid #layoffs.

Hey UX designers of the world! And all you people making #software! How about we stop making ever more complicated methods of managing #notifications, #DoNotDisturb, #DigitalWellness etc and instead focus on reducing the amount of time-on-screen spent for each task? We need to stop thinking about #engagement and think about #efficiency. We need to recognize the nature of #DigitalMedia makes us forget about the analog world. Being #online exacerbates that.

The era of unchecked tech monopolies is over.
We're taking decisive action to enforce open, fair, and contestable digital markets.
Our measures had real consequences:
🛡️ Fined major platforms for anti-competitive practices and ignoring consumer data choices
⌚ Required strict hardware interoperability for smartwatches and connected wearables
☁️ Launched three investigations into dominance in cloud services and into search engines hiding media
