If the EU or a majority of European nations stipulated that everything had to be compatible with open source operating systems I’m pretty confident that it would happen. There would be pushback. Likely they’d claim that it’d impede their ability to turn a profit, create development cost issues, and be extremely insecure, but once things were set into motion they would find a way to make it work.
Obesity wouldn’t be the problem it is if it were just a personal choice. Plenty of people hardly have time for a healthy diet and lots of the quick, cheap, and easy options are calorie dense and addictive. It is very easy to unknowingly eat way too many calories without realizing it.
I won’t say I didn’t laugh at the joke. I did. But having been fat myself I can say that having people give me shit for my weight would never be helpful. Normalizing body shaming is more likely to create eating disorders and depression than it is to help fat people lose weight.
You don’t need to shame fat people to shame Nazis.
