I agree, those countries have internal problems. Said that, when they talk about democracy most of the time they are talking about freedom of speech and clean elections. When you have millions of people complaining and political parties that want the independence it proves there is a lot of freedom.
In Spain 6/10 citizens vote left or far-left parties. They don’t change the vote even if the goverment does a bad job. They just hate the right for different reasons. The only way the rigth can win the elections is if most people who votes left don’t go to vote.
You are rigth about HEIF, but most electronic devices already pay for the license to encode/decode HEVC.
The camera sensor returns raw images, then there is post-processong and the last step is encoding. There are no technical limitations and it’s not hard to implement another image format. As other users commented, Google Pixel phones and some apps in Google Play already does. Btw I’m electronic + software engineer.
My conclusion is even if the new formats are better, JPEG is more compatible and good enough for most users. Some brands take care of power users and others don’t. I’m a bit disappointed with OnePlus camera software.
All 3 formats I mentioned are free to use and there are free and open source libraries to do the conversion.
But they could give you an option to change it. For example, in my OnePlus I can choose video in h264 or h265 format. Photo there is no option, just JPEG.
10 Gbps symetric no limits @ 25€ month. Spain.
Another OnePlus. Buy a brand new but not the last model. @400€
People choose the rigth-center party, but the left-center + far-left + separatists are going to rule another 4 years.
It’s far-right in the Spanix context. Compared with Trump, Putin, Bolsonaro, Netanyahu, Erdogan… VOX are very soft. They will be socialists on that countries.
Vox can be considered far-LEFT in half of the countries. They are socialists compared to the Republicn party in the US. Even if they get a good result Spain will still be one of the leftiests countries in the world.
There are thousands of requeriments to join the EU and Ukraine is far to comply.
This will be good for Spain and the EU. The current government is spending too much, dividing the society and giving too much power to the regions.
I recommend you all to switch to Pipewire. Most bluethooth problems are fixed.
Alpine uses musl libc + busybox as GNU replacements. They have less code base and they are more lighweight. GNU code is really old and some power users say the code is bloated and poorly maintained.
There are some OS like Alipine Linux that relay on the Linux kernel but don’t use GNU userland.

Pipewire fixed some Bluetooth issues for me.
