The #EU did a game changing thing for sustainability by requiring that all phones use USB-C for charging. Imagine the effect it could have by just insisting that its illegal to sell computer hardware within the EU without an open source driver (more specifically, banning closed-source drivers).

We could put an end to massive e-waste generated when companies like Nvidia end-of-life support for their hardware.

TelegramWarriors Ukrainian🇺🇦🇺🇦 Zelensky: Over the past week – the Russians have used more than a thousand air bombs and almost 1,400 strike drones against Ukraine. Missile strikes also continue. Russia is dragging out the war, and therefore deserves stronger pressure from the world. Russia refuses to stop the killings, and therefore should not receive any awards or positives for itself. ——— 🇺🇦 Зеленський: За останній тиждень росіяни застосували проти України понад тисячу авіабомб та майже 1400 ударних безпілотників. Ракетні удари також тривають. Росія затягує війну, а тому заслуговує на посилений тиск з боку світу. Росія відмовляється припинити вбивства, а тому не повинна отримувати жодних нагород чи позитиву для себе.

TelegramWarriors Ukrainian🇺🇦🇺🇸🇮🇳🛢️ Global oil market dismisses Trump's threats to India as empty words, - Reuters. The crude oil market's rather optimistic reaction to the US threat to punish India for buying Russian oil is effectively a bet that nothing much will actually happen. It's not entirely clear what Trump is ultimately after, although he appears to be using India to put pressure on Russia ahead of the planned Alaska meeting in the short term. ——— 🇺🇸🇮🇳🛢️ Світовий ринок нафти відкидає погрози Трампа Індії як порожні слова, - Reuters. Досить оптимістична реакція ринку сирої нафти на погрозу США покарати Індію за купівлю російської нафти фактично є ставкою на те, що насправді нічого особливого не станеться. Не зовсім зрозуміло, чого зрештою прагне Трамп, хоча він, схоже, використовує Індію, щоб чинити тиск на Росію напередодні запланованої зустрічі на Алясці в короткостроковій перспективі.

EU foreign ministers hold urgent Ukraine talks ahead of US-Russia summit.

European Union leaders warn a US–Russia peace deal on Ukraine will collapse without Kyiv and Brussels involved, as an emergency meeting of EU foreign ministers is convened by Kaja Kallas, the EU High Representative for Foreign Policy.

Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelenskyy says any decisions taken without Ukraine will be "stillborn" and unworkable.
