Ian Brown 👨🏻‍💻I had been planning to buy (yet another) <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/Mac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mac</a> (this time, a <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/Mini" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mini</a>.) But enough with feeding Tim and friends’ grotesque appetite for 💰 (and putting up with high charges for low quality, if shiny, software).I am going to install a lightweight <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a> desktop (any recommendations?) on my 2011 <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/MacBook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MacBook</a> <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/Air" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Air</a> and see how far I can get interoperating with all my data currently held hostage in the <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/Apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Apple</a> <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/monoculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#monoculture</a>.

Ian Brown 👨🏻‍💻“Recognise the UK’s open markets as a competitive advantage. We need to protect — not give away cheaply — prize assets such as our world-beating creative sector and <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/copyright" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#copyright</a> laws that underpin them, our innovative tech sector and differentiated digital competition regime that strengthens it, and our new approach to protecting people’s safety online.” <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/DMCCA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DMCCA</a> <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/OSA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OSA</a>
