It‘s worth noting that this has been going on for quite a while now in Europe. Two of Germany‘s largest retailers, Edeka and Rewe, don‘t stock products from quite a few companies like Mars, PepsiCo and Procter&Gamble anymore. Edeka even went to court with Coca-Cola because of their ludicrous price increases in 2022.

And both retailers haven’t shied away from making these issues very public. They‘ve often put signs into the empty shelves explaining the situation in detail.

They are obviously more afraid of having to explain those massive price hikes to customers, than they are of not stocking these products at all. Which, seeing how little the manufacturing costs actually increased while profits for the manufacturers surged, is definitely a good thing for consumers.

Yes, we will. This was also specifically demanded by the EU and has to be implemented by March 6th 2024.

It’s being said that Google and Mozilla already have iOS-versions of Chrome and Firefox ready for this.

I would honestly love to see that. It would make their situation so much worse. They rely on people moderating subs voluntarily. They don’t have the manpower to do it themselves. The subs would probably get flooded with spam and NSFW content. And if there’s one thing advertisers hate more than the current blackout, it’s their ads being displayed between questionable porn.

So if reddit really did this, I wouldn’t count it as a loss for the protesters. Instead, I would go get some popcorn.

It‘s really great to see more companies making mobile gaming PCs. The overall quality of these devices has really improved tremendously over the past few years.

Although the Ally doesn‘t appeal to me personally, as I‘d really miss the Steam Deck‘s touch pads, its great OS and all the mods the community has already built for it, I‘m really glad to see more companies throwing their hat in the ring. Mobile PC gaming seems to no longer be just a niche market, and that‘s great!
