 Our commitment to the fediverse is here to stay. We are working on a solution to ensure our continued presence on your feeds, taking full advantage of Mastodon's identity portability. And we are even growing the team behind our Mastodon presence, increasing efforts to engage with your comments on our posts. We are fully committed to being a real part of the conversation in the fediverse. Interested in our next steps? Follow us as we take on this new chapter. @EU_Commission why not also enforce the existence of nomadic lifestyles in all the EU? It is literally illegal for Roma people to exist in the way they traditionally have within the EU itself. That needs to change. We are deeply disturbed and saddened by news of the death of Alexei Navalny. Putin fears nothing more than dissent from his own people. A grim reminder of what Putin and his regime are all about. Let's unite in our fight to safeguard the freedom and safety of those who dare to stand up against autocracy.

@EU_Commission why are fools indulging the assange distraction from tragedy of Navalny, just disgusting @EU_Commission yet nobody takes the fight to the world's most notorious terrorist, putin. Can;t have it both ways, treat him as a politician to excuse cowardice towards dealing with him and a terrorist with your opinions. He should have never went back to Russia. This was so sadly predictable on day one. No one should ever go there these days. You are in control of the data you share. Full stop.

  @EU_Commission none of these: instead I want stronger laws limiting the usage of data brokers & stricter terms for what "legitimate interest" means for cookies & third-parties: I regularly see websites with hundreds of "legitimate interest" "partners" – there's no way that's being responsible with my data. Also making one-click opt-out of non-functional cookies mandatory: many sites lack this.  @EU_Commission "You are in control of the data you share. Full stop." 😂 Yeah, ehrm, not really. Data brokerage, Web tracking, manipulative cookie banners, opt-out features in smartphones, corporate social media deemed necessary to find jobs etc., scoring-bullshit like SCHUFA, TOS of almost unavoidable services ("Gatekeepers") that still collect data en mass and last but lot least YOU (with all yoir chatcontrol and total surveillance fantasies) completely and utterly invalidate your statement.

@EU_Commission Charles Babbage (b. 1791, d. 1871) might not agree with the first statement. He invented the first digital computer a century before chips, other than potato chips, were invented 😎 And first potato chip recipe is from year 1817. @EU_Commission there will not be innovation if time is wasted for stupid initiatives like #chatcontrol

 What do you want your money to look like? € Euro banknotes are getting a new look! The time has come to choose the theme for their future design, and we want YOU to have a say. Which theme should be selected? 📅 Complete the survey on #FutureBanknotes by 31 August! → https://survey.ecb.europa.eu/euro-banknote-survey

@EU_Commission I am a big fan of the EU, I really liked this survey as well the ideas for the new Euro bank notes, however, I was really disappointed in the end where I couldn’t pick my country as if it doesn’t matter. I am a bit worried that when the new bank notes are designed, their design will supposedly represent Europe as a whole but actually will focus only on a handful of countries and people in the rest of Europe find it disheartening and disappointing @EU_Commission I was meh about most of these until I got to the birds. Birds!!! I hope if this wins, the 500 euro banknote features the bird most common in all European capitals: the humble pigeon. You can call it a dove for marketing purposes.

@EU_Commission "Their messaging apps will have to interoperate with others." Does that mean that if I have, lets say, Signal, would I be able to text people on WhatsApp? Because "their messaging apps" is clear. But the "others" is a bit vague, unspecified. And 6 months to implement that... I dream of that happening, but I doubt they would do in such a short time. @EU_Commission can we also get a common digital market? One that allows me in Brussels to access the contents of Portuguese public tv online? Or vice-versa? 1 size 🔌to fit them all 📱 💻 📷 🎧 By 2024, the USB-C port will be mandatory for all portable electronic devices in the EU. This means that you will soon be able to recharge most of your devices with the same charger, making piling up bundles of cables a thing of the past. Not only will this make your life easier, but it will also reduce greenhouse gas emissions and e-waste. Learn more about the common charger here: https://europa.eu/!hwjj3G

 @EU_Commission it means I have to throw away my usb-a chargers which worked for all devices (including Apple)  @EU_Commission thanks for putting an to that annoying innovation in plugs and connectivity. I look forward to having this as our fixed standard for at least the next 100 years, because clearly, there is no further innovation to be had in this area. @EU_Commission yeah, right now i have such problem with my (newer) laptop charger that i cant find replacement due to custom jack xD for a week i use my old af laptop xD We are a Union of equals. 🇪🇺🌈 On the International Day against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia, we celebrate equality, tolerance and respect — some of the EU’s core values.

We contacted Nintendo to address the recurring problem with defective Switch controllers and they agreed to offer all consumers the right to repair, free of charge, even beyond the legal guarantee! This will prevent the disposal of unrepaired controllers and unnecessary waste.

@EU_Commission they better apply this to other places. Also, they should require no proof of purchase since I obtained my switch 2nd hand.

@EU_Commission that's their typical behavior for decades. They denied most of Babyn Yar bodies belong to Soviet times executions of 'wrong people', basically people who looked wrong for foreign occupyers like Arkadiy Golikov, they'd be killed. And there's been plenty of rapes and lootings too, foreign so called 'Bolscheviks' were not much different from Nazis and they persecuted Ukrainians for liberation struggle! @EU_Commission please this war will be over because Russian have no reason to fight. THEY HAVE been at war since 1980 in afghanistan. THEY HAVE HALF THE POPULATION now u.s.s.r. had and the average male dies at 58 mostly alchol. THEY WANT to party they are middle class not warriors that was 70 years ago no one want Russian now. THE HAVE fleed the country , workers have left, the ones that forced to fight don't even bother to destroy damaged equipment or bring out their dead. Have you ever needed to send money to someone urgently? 💸 Our new proposal aims to make payments in euros instant for anyone with a bank account in any EU or EEA country, at no extra cost compared to a regular money transfer. The switch from "next day transfers" to "transfers in ten seconds" is comparable to the switch from mail to email. More info: https://ec.europa.eu/instant-payments

 @EU_Commission I'm looking forward to it! Similar requirements already exist within UK, and it's working very well. @EU_Commission in Canada, the Interac system is used with many Banks but there are lots of fees with it. :( @EU_Commission it’s 60 cents to do so in the bank I use - but will be nice to have it by default! Thanks ! The EU has supported financially Ukraine with more than €10 billion since the beginning of the war And we used for the first time ever resources from the #EUBudget on military equipment to sustain Ukraine’s defence effort — President @vonderleyen@twitter.com at #BSF2022  On #InternationalCatDay, treat your cat to a special gift. You can travel easily with your cat, dog or ferret in the EU thanks to our 🇪🇺 passports for pets. You can get a European pet passport at your local vet and take them with you on your next trip. 1, 2, 3 - kickflip🛹and cross the EU border freely. European skateboarders performed their tricks at the 🇪🇪-🇱🇻 border, proving that borders in the #Schengen area only exist on maps. The free movement of people, goods and services is at the heart of our Union.

@EU_Commission Like during the last two years? Sadly I cant type the correct term for you hypocritical .... Just imagine the worst term ever and you are 10x that. @EU_Commission i wonder what would happen if they tried the same trick on the greco-turkish border… Aware of anyone violating EU sanctions on Russia or Belarus? We have created an online tool for whistleblowers to contact us and report violations of EU sanctions. Make a report 👉 http://eusanctions.integrityline.com @EU_Commission We have created an online tool for whistleblowers to contact us and report violations of EU sanctions. Make a report 👉 😙😂🤣😂🤣🤣😑😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣 #OnThisDay in 1952, the path to the EU began. We mark 70 years since the Paris Treaty entered into force, establishing the European Coal and Steel Community. 🇧🇪🇫🇷🇮🇹🇩🇪🇳🇱🇱🇺 were the first countries to come together as a united Europe following the devastation of war. 12

@EU_Commission FTR - an account on threads.net is NOT a solution, IMHO. The better solution is to use a minimal part of the money you spend on blockchain projects to keep the instance you are on alive. ;)
@EU_Commission this is absolutely bad. There's so much money wasted every day within the European Parliament. Maintaining a Mastodon server should be peanuts. Damnit!
