He already made his money when they sold HockeyApp to MSFT

Just FYI, Felix Reda was a member of the European Parliament and was responsible there for the copyright reform and also involved in GDPR, massively stepping on the feet of big tech. Don't know if it was your intention to include them in a list of people wo "shill" for big tech, but they shouldn't be included.

edit wording about the shill

Satisfactory has freight trains and trucks as well

Personally, I enjoy the fact that it's generating songs about topics I'd find it funny to have a song about. My dog playing with their friends, a song about a funny situation that happened. So it's mostly the part about hearing something that's personal to me being put into a song. I'll listen to it a few times, send it around and be done with it. It'll never go into my daily-listening queue, will not replace the emotional connection I have with songs that helped me through bad times. It's just a fun tool to make something "personal" that I'd never ever would hire an artist for anyways.

You leave your car parked outside at a slow 22kW charger. But with a full BEV, you don't need to charge every night, just like you don't need to fill up your gasoline car every evening in your own garage.

To me that's a really weird analogy. Nobody would think about putting a gasoline tank and pump in their garage ... There's plenty of public charging infrastructure in Europe. Fast charging on the highways, slow charging in living areas. Even many supermarkets offer fast chargers now, so that during your grocery shopping trip you can get most of your charging needs covered. There's plenty of opportunities to charge your vehicle over night, or really quickly when needed. It's absolutely possible to own an EV without a garage

In Germany you get tax benefits when buying a plugin hybrid instead of a pure gasoline car ... There's always been the legend that people return their leased PHEVs and the charging cable is still wrapped in plastic in the trunk and has never been used. Maybe there's some truth to this after all.

If you don't want a third party app store, don't install one. TaDa ... Nothing changes for you. Now let the rest of the people, that want to use THEIR phone as THEY want, let them.

At least for Germany there are cases, where police officers have leaked information about people that they have access to through their systems. Especially leaking data about political opponents to certain groups.

You as a consumer or business cannot do the interpretation. Courts do. When there is ambiguities in the law (i.e. if the CTF is a valid fee or not), the higher courts (like the CJEU) decide how the law is to be interpreted and their decision sort of amend the word of the law.

That's also solveable. For android you need to enable deep inside of the settings to allow 3rd party installs. Nobody is preventing Apple to do something like this. Or that you can create a profile that disables that setting that you can install on your familys devices. Nothing in the DMA prevents this.

Just because it makes your life easier as the family tech support is a pretty selfish reason to hope for a very good pro-consumer law to fail.

That's the nice thing about the DMA ... Nobody forces you to install a 3rd party app store, nobody forces you to install apps from websites, nobody forces you out of the walled garden. For you nothing changes. Those that want to use their 1000€ device differently than you now have the chance to.
