touwer··on US sanctions EU government officials behind the DSA
Funny how time and time again, users of this forum mix obvious fiction and facts about Europe and the EU. I guess it's too difficult to read up on these things before posting an opinion reflecting rightwing US politicians

touwer··on The Amazon Kindle War Against Piracy
Good. Now it's more clear for users that putting all your reading-eggs in the basket of a nasty tech-company, is not ok. Glad I removed my Amazon account a long time ago
touwer··on Mistral raises 1.7B€, partners with ASML

touwer··on We don't need startups, we need Digital-Mittelstand
I'm sorry but your view on the economy and society is really naive. As if everything could be solved by markets. Monopolies don't exist. Powers other than supply and demand (political, societal, geological, etc) don't matter. It's not that simple. Read some books of (old) economists or philosophers

touwer··on We don't need startups, we need Digital-Mittelstand
Indeed. Zeiss lenses. Medical equipment. Boss. Siemens. The only thing that's really lacking is ict and ai. But that can be fixed
touwer··on We don't need startups, we need Digital-Mittelstand
You should read up before making grandiose statements like that. Totally not true. https://www.economist.com/finance-and-economics/2025/01/30/c...
