The European Union is an antidemocratic corporate cartel.
Good thing it wasn't the EU that made the trains 👌
The EU is in a constant struggle for its direction. Discounting it as a lost cause only allows malicious actors free reign. On the one hand, EU regulators take on tech monopolies, like forcing Microsoft to un-bundle Windows and Edge/Bing. And european courts have repeatedly struck down legislation that would allow for indiscriminate data retention.
On the other hand, the EU politicians are currently trying to sneak through a law that would force browsers to accept state-issued root certificates, allowing them to spy on and alter any and all internet communication, basically upending the trust-based system that keeps the internet secure currently. This law is part of the eIDAS initiative.
And I'm sure that with the new, EU-driven right to repair initiative, the train manufacturer will be forced to back down soon too.
The right to repair proposal will sure have a list of exemptions, not to hurt the feelings of big commercial conglomerates.
Interesting, this needs some reading
Here is a link detailing the issues concerning root certificates in the eIDAS legislation, as it currently written and about to be voted on: https://www.theregister.com/2023/11/08/europe_eidas_browser/
Thanks! I stumbled across the Mozilla blog on it, too

Maybe you should stop huffing Orban's farts.
No, I huff Marxist economist and ex-Greek Minister of Finance Yanis Varoufakis’ farts.
Basically the wrong exhaust fumes.
Implying there are also the right exhaust fumes smh
Ah, those are extra spicy.
True, but that’s why it is somewhat functional. Otherwise it would be a mess, swinging back and forth between contradictory short term thinking.
The Arabian Gulf states are not democratic at all, and sometimes the governments go against the wishes of the people -mostly US-aligned foreign policies and social and economic liberalization-. But they sure can get shit done and massively. Kinda like China but on a smaller scale because all together the Arabian Gulf -without the foreigners- adds up to the population of one Chinese city.
