The title needs to say it's only for the EU. 3rd party app stores for iOS are not coming to the rest of the world.
And for android you'd probably be able to get the APK, but I'm not sure how the in-app purchases will work outside of EU.
And that is exactly why we need more regulation on this area, because it's NOT sustainable right now.
This was why the EU made it mandatory to use USB-C, so we only need few chargers for everything in our home. This alone were tons of e-waste reduced each year.
We need this thinking in other areas too.
Save is also going away for most thinks, so I think you're actually a little ahead of our time with that.
Even though this is a great idea, it's also incredibly unreasonable.
There will be people cheating the hell out of this, because let's face it. What people need is not a free computer. They need food and money.
What ever that is possible to scrape from these machines, the market will open for it today if you launch your computer tomorrow.
It's a nice thought, but it's the wrong way going around this. If you really want to make a difference, you open up your business somewhere in an area you want to help and you create jobs.
Stable income is a sure way road to decrease in crinimal activity and a more safe society. THEN you can consider providing free stuff, when there's no reason to abuse it.
Maybe I'm too pessimistic, and I'd love to be convinced otherwise.
I believe we in Norway and Denmark identify ourselves much more as socialists than Sweden.
This guy just drawed out socialism and it sounds amazing. Still, people are afraid of it even though the most well off countries in the world are socialistic countries (northern Europe)
