Ok, on one hand we finally get a db of all the vampires & other such immortals, but fuck this anti-privacy shit.

The article doesn't mention how it works, if the app is "offline" (more akin to mfa), just that it doesn't forward your data to sites.

However:

It’s positioned as a temporary solution that will be superseded by the EU Digital Identity Wallet that’s expected to launch in 2026, which aims to provide a way for “European citizens, residents and businesses to prove who they are when accessing digital services” and a place to “safely store, share and sign important digital documents.”

Afaik the digital wallet's goal is still to have online anonymity for stuff like third parties.

But why are we doing this app if it will get so little use (maybe they'll refuse same APIs later with the wallet?)?

Sure, but a lot of EMU members never met the criteria (if you mean Maastricht), so it's always a per-country decision.

Anyway, UK opted out at the beginning iirc (bcs politicians didn't want to lose power), so I'm just saying we don't let them have that luxury again (that € isn't negotiable).

We could make EMU membership a condition for their EU membership ... if that isn't too risky for € at this point.

Yes, I know, in my county too.

I absolutely want to know where I shop & who I vote for with my wallet (make profit for).

If that company is shitty to workers I'll def try to avoid it.

Worker rights endeavours arent something to hide & dilute.

And yes, the employer needs to take into account customer view too (which they do).

Yes, but usually they do it by other means as to not driving the bus (or they don't drive the buses only for a limited time within the strike).

But countries differ a lot in regards what is basic infrastructure.

(Lol, typo, I meant doctors there, fixed.)

There are rules (strict laws with fines & prison time) to strikes depending on sectors.

Eg basic infrastructure workers (doctors, bus drivers, etc) can't strike by not working, which I think you were referring from. I think that does makes sense otherwise innocent people can die or really suffer.

But where public's lives aren't at stake, the users sold def feel the strike & know what the company they are financially supporting doesn't wasn't to do.

But laws too can get very corrupt very quickly, eg USA presidents totally outlawing strikes on sector or per company basis (bcs pocket monies).

Oh, no, no - that's not what I meant at all!

Not literally *any complaining* (actual free speech & law protections apply), with the article as context - these are professionals acting from/on behalf of the company amplified by the money & media relations that company has (& possible political party relations).

So if I use my corp assets & relations to push out ~~"well"~~ precisely written points about how strikes are bad that is not at all comparable to a random person just being a bit frustrated & *removed* about it. It's deliberate, amplified, and solely for profit. And it leads to shit like when in developed countries govs/parlaments/presidents literally outlaw strikes (eg per sector even when it's uncalled for), and the public doesn't care.

Yes, true.

And in return held in higher regard even by average workers (perhaps not in that one specific company tho).

Yes, but ads work on all our brains & most of the time the public opinions form in regards to articles such at these (ie anti-strike without knowing the reasons, and in turn in support to political parties holding such views).

Our attitude should be that anyone complaining about strikes should be immediately excluded from society, unable to get rewarded or get a new fancy job & forced to start the career over.

Basically what we (apparently) do to people protesting against funding genocides & climate change we should be doing to people oppressing workers bcs they want profits to be higher.

Just deal with the strike, make it work without a stick or accept your business isn't viable (or at least not with you in it).

I know it's a popular saying, but idk if it cancels shit out.

Like, try taking about dead Nazis & how good they are - feels weird bcs of all the bad shit they did.

So no, perhaps just *no good Nazis*.

(in a fight, right?)

Google says

Oh, so the chances are it's probably very good for EU, nice, carry on.

This is about public opinion, so it shouldn't matter what Google says & people should understand that all megacorp speech is propaganda for their (fairly short-term) profit. And that such statements basically shouldn't get the coverage they are getting (but still some is necessary to have the knowledge to understand other fuckery that megacorp will engage in to achieve it's goals).

Profit maximisation.

... like, as a punishment, and you volunteer?
