I hope a country like switzerland or something lets companies host servers there for europe without enforcing dumb laws from uk/european union.
Not going to happen with Switzerland and EU laws. Being completely surrounded by the EU, we’re really bad with leverage and are already struggling to not have worse and worse deals forced on us. Plus, we have our own Chat Control type law coming up (which is why Proton is leaving). There’s no way we’ll take a stance against EU law.
Like I said, I love Windows 11. I actually prefer its features in general to what I’ve seen of Linux, I prefer its design a lot, and there’s some stuff, like WSA and autohotkey, which simply doesn’t exist on Linux with the same simplicity as far as I know. Can’t use classic shell on linux either, and the start menus I have seen either looked ugly or were more launchers than start menus.
I love Windows 11 (the non-copilot+ version) and am positive on AI, but if they pull through with this vision, I WILL switch to Linux once Win11 support ends.
the brits really need to learn from the french how to protest.
You mean like how the french aren’t protesting their country’s support of Chat Control? At least I can’t find any information on them doing so.
I’m a bit confused by comments on this topic. Do sovereign countries not have the right anymore to decide their own laws and issue punishment when they’re not followed?
Like, they obviously can’t enforce these fines. This article says as much. The fines can’t be enforced, but if 4chan ignores them, that opens the door for other measures like delisting the site from search engines or blocking access to it from the UK (these two examples are taken from the article). Which are fair measures imo.
Like, to the people saying UK can’t do laws which apply to services which are merely accessible in the UK and have no physical presence there, do you also apply this logic to the GDPR, which works the same way? The US has these laws too, like COPPA iirc. It’s not really something the UK came up with, it’s a bit of a standard with laws like this as far as I know.
