I don’t believe ECIs ever get a lot of media coverage, sadly.

Most people don’t even know they can start/participate in ECIs and have their opinion taken into account at a european level. Best we can do is share the platform and make sure as many people as possible know about it.

That 96% of the population isn’t currently in a state so shitty they’d revolt. We’re talking about a dystopian future where there is barely any work to do, yet no UBI or equivalent system. A future where the rich have everything and keep everything. People born in these conditions won’t be too lazy for a revolution.

Then they will someday wake up with a shock, because no amount of tech will stop 99% of the population from winning a revolution. That only happens in movies.

Plus, many countries would riot far before it gets to this point. We frenchies protested for years “just” because of our retirement being pushed a few years…

yet none of the currently available tools seem to be anywhere near capable of it.

Exactly. It’s not even capable of properly doing web development, imagine trying to use it to target environment requiring absolute optimisation… Or even just video games.

If something should work, but it doesn’t, nuke all the caches before diving in the rabbit hole of debugging weird issues
