I’m not a fan and think he’s generally a poor choice. But a short stint at a company two decades ago shouldn’t be an instant disqualification… The headline feels sensationalised.
Still incomprehensible Kaag wasn’t proposed, though. Or one of a bunch of other more suitable representatives.
You don’t have a representative for your region. The EU parliament is based on proportional representation, so seats are assigned based on the share of votes for a given party.
If you want to contact representatives, the list per country is the highest level of detail available. Personally, I’d start with the person or party you voted for.
Honestly, I felt like if there was one company that could make it work, it’d be Apple. The hardware looks impressive and they’ve got enough ecosystem benefits to at least get some applications going beyond gaming, video, and porn.
Plus, Apple products have such a critical mass that other developers are bound to jump on board. This headset sounds like a niche product that’ll fail because of it being far too niche. If they could’ve launched an app for an already successful headset instead, I might’ve been more optimistic.
Agreed! It’s far from being Apollo just yet, but already it’s a fairly good experience.

I feel you. I try to make a point of commenting even though before I probably wouldn’t. I think Lemmy can really work, but we need to put in the effort.
I don’t think Reddit will see a huge drop in users in the short term. But hopefully this whole kerfuffle will give a big enough boost to Lemmy to kickstart its network effect.
Engagement is the most important thing to be striving for right now!
In Europe, this is hardly a problem. I’ve recently been on the road more in the US, and it sucks. But I think it’s more so due to cars being ridiculously big and their lamps being way off the ground.
