@humanetech @EU_Commission @FRA As someone who is young & technical, I also oppose this reckless #digitalTransformation movement. #Belgium has offline ways of doing some things by mailing a paper form. And the paper form is not published online nor can you pick it up. There is a web form to request the blank form, & the web form has email & phone# as required fields. Not joking.

@EU_Commission The problem is you have a court in #Austria doing the opposite, ensuring that #GDPR compliance is voluntary: https://noyb.eu/en/alarming-court-justice-may-severely-limit-enforcement-europeans-privacy-rights

@EU_Commission That’s all good, but getting asses on bicycle seats is also key to energy independence. Which means tax write-offs on corporate cars must stop and parking in public spaces should be €3k/yr (not €30/yr). #fuckCars

@EU_Commission Meh… it’s a good start but with #smartphones it misses the problem: proprietary #nonfreesoftware. Perfectly good hardware is still being destroyed with this _recommendation_. Why not recommend a #rightToRepair solution that blocks the sale of phones running non-free software so that consumers can use their phones for as long as the hardware lasts?

@EU_Commission Suppose I don’t want to exploit my idea for financial gain. #FreeSoftware style, I would like the patent to explicitly allow others to use it. But exceptionally, I would like to bar certain unethical corps whome I boycott from benefitting from the otherwise open patent. What are the options? $5k is unreasonable for this scenario since I would not be profitting from it. #askFedi

@EU_Commission Improving the cycling infrastructure is spot on. But let’s scrap the protectionism. EVs also harm the evironment. #fuckCars means all cars. It’s misguided to try to create or sustain European jobs w.r.t EVs. Just focus on bikes. And let them be made anywhere. The world population needs jobs so from a humanitarian PoV it’s wrong to try to give an advantage to 1st world workers.
