Property acquisition in the US more expensive than in Europe? I think not, at least for the immense swaths of land that make up most of the US’ land mass.

The legal fees I see, but that’s why most developed nations have legislature for disowning property owners of land necessary for infrastructure at a set compensation. Whether that’s fair or just is up for ideological debate, I’m sure.

The Commission transmitted a proposal to the European Parliament. The Parliament and the European Council have to discuss and pass the proposal for it to go into effect.

Is there an SCP for this?

It’d be more fitting to mandate every product to include its ecological price. Disposable vapes, for example, would disappear instantly.

Oooooh, that’s a neat idea in light of the current EU legislation concerning the Right to Repair: Introduce a mandatory, highly visible, and standardized seal that all electronic devices have to display on the front of their box:

Repairable

or

Disposable

I hope Unity’s legal team is prepared.

I really hope they’re not, because this practice needs to crash and burn brightly as a warning beacon to other corpos’ grubby fingers.

More like when someone leaves a fingerprint on actual professional image editing equipment (refer to this insightful post by another lemmyng) and just rubbing spit on the screen will damage to screen.

For a phone screen, this cloth is overkill and absolutely unnecessary. You should put a sacrificial glass screen over expensive-to-replace phone screens anyway.

That’s an important distinction that too few people understand:

Psychiatrists: medical doctors with a specialization in mental health who can prescribe drugs

Psychologists: trained professionals with an academic degree who provide mental health care by (generally) talking with you

Both are important health care providers, but they generally do very different things, and in a mental health crisis you best have one of each at hand.
