There is a difference between a country being corrupt and a country having corruption or a lot of people in a country paying for corruption (in other countries). You can check the corruption index if you want.

Yes it should, but by default it doesn't, at least not in NL

It has taken a while, but now regulating bodies are actually looking at who is the ultimate beneficial owner of a company and they will try and stop overtakes. Well, not in corrupt countries, but it is so hard to get anything properly done in a corrupt country that it doesn't surprise me.

it wasn't only NC that was a hassle on TrueNas lol, now with Docker Compose most seem to be working a lot better imo.

To be fair in the real world we do have instances stopping people from buying everything, it is just that some countries are corrupt af.

I have become more left orientated after years went by, but I have always been decently progressive. Not every country allows for the full political spectrum sadly so a lot of people have to choose between progressive left and conservative right, but it isn't the only way/

I rather have that than the prices excluding tax

Yeah that's fair, Kagi should be held accountable for the lack of compliance, but besides that there is nothing wrong with them as far as I know.

And everything non-Google/Microsoft/Amazon etc is a win in my book. I kinda wanna say everything non-American/Chinese, but exceptioins exist

Considering most of those technofascists are American's who cannot even have proper payment platforms and proper bank connections I doubt they will actually succeed.

If it is only just them doing this AI movement (spoiler they aren't), they would also stop at the US borders, because just like a huge part of the American businesses, they don't care about anybody else

I never heard of an ISP offering a free website to host, the free mail address I do remember sadly.

A lot of what is wrong with the web is the result of governments lacking the ability to stop companies from growing too much. It doesn't help either that the best country for startups is as corrupt as fuck and has been for decades, including from before the start of the internet.

We all should chose to use parts of the web we want to use, like Lemmy and actual non-profit organisations like Ecosia, Proton and what not.

I despise subscriptions a lot, I also believe that the use of a search engine shouldn't be something that is run for profit, see where it got us with Google? I also dislike Kagi (and other sites) who refuse to comply with the rules and regulations we have in Europe surrounding prices on sites. They are American iirc which doesn't help for that and that also means they barely have to make any financial figures public.

I prefer Ecosia (or Qwant), which are making their own search engine together and while they are still funded by ads, it wouldn't surprise me if in the future (if not already) they get money from the governments. I also prefer actual non-profits (not those American non-profit statuses that can be bough) compared to for profit businesses.

In The Netherlands it doesn't and last time I checked we are still part of Europe lol
