I’m not British. But this is what I think Britain needs :
1. Campaign finance reform. The United Kingdom is one of the only democracies in the world where corporations are allowed to wire hundreds of thousands of pounds to political parties. Brits often argue their system is better than the US. I’m sorry, but being better than the US is the same as having no standards at all.
2. Publically owned water companies. The senior management of UK water companies have looted the country. Billions were lost. It’s a complete disaster.
3. A ban on gambling ads. Gambling ruins the lives of so many people.
These 3 policies are not extreme in any way. They are not far-left, hard-left, communist, or whatever. They are simply about creating better incentives for a better country. Implementing them would help ordinary people.
Yet Keir Starmer doesn’t have seem to have the guts to do that. I hope I’m proved wrong.
Britons deserves better.
How are Boeing planes?
After multiple plane crashes and 700 deaths, the CEO was rewarded with $33 million dollars:
If you crash several planes in China, you face death penalty.
Recently, a factory exploded in Tianjin. At least 20 people were hanged. The owner of the factory, the director of the factory, the managers of the factory, the city safety inspectors. That’s the Chinese quality insurance system. This is how they keep businessmen in check.
Fair enough.
I think hardware companies should make money selling devices. They should be banned from jailing their users in a locked proprietary ecosystem.
The Xbox doesn’t have the majority of the gaming market.
The smartphone market is basically a duopoly.
Imagine if Microsoft banned Windows users from downloading software outside the Microsoft store.
Imagine if Microsoft required all Software developers to give them 30% of their income or be banned from Windows
This is nothing but pure extortion.
Thank god for the EU, which forced Apple to back down:
Fortnite, one of the world’s biggest video games, is available as an iPhone app for the first time in four years. However, it will only be available to players in the European Union. This is because EU law requires Apple to allow third-party app stores on its devices - other parts of the world do not have comparable legislation. The game was removed from the App Store in 2020 following a payments row between Apple and Epic.

As for canadians/americans, they are in jail.
Imagine your friend in Europe sends you a phone invite to play .
-“Oh. I’m sorry but I am not allowed to do that 😢”
Installing Linux was a good decision.
I have not gone back to Microsoft Windows.
Don’t listen to people telling you it’s hard. I don’t have any IT degree or engineering degree
Installing it was easy. Linux is elegant, secure and powerful. I love it.
To be clear. This is a government agency endorsing the software as safe and effective. So bureaucrats and employees can’t be reprimanded if they use them.
This isn’t the French Prime Minister announcing the country will cancel Microsoft Office subscriptions and build a fund to support FOSS projects. Gimp has nowhere near the ressources they actually need.

I normally don’t support bypassing paywalls for newspapers.
Quality journalism has a price. We should all support it. I lived in a country where all great newspapers collapsed, because no one wanted to subscribe (cultural reason). Only clickbait trash survived. I can assure you it’s really not a nice country.
However, I’ll make an exception for The Times, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch.
The same Rupert Murdoch who owns The Sun, Fox News, the Wall Street Journal, and many other media organizations. He also owned News of the World, a newspaper which illegally hacked crime victims and broke into the homes of UK politicians.

Rupert Murdoch once attempted to blackmail the British Prime Minister

He is also a huge climate change denier:

This man has done more damage to democracy than any other Australian.
Fuck Rupert Murdoch.
