Makes sense though. Capitalism demands ever growing profits, and there is more money to be made in wealth accumulation and investments than in building things.

I can guarantee that the number of people traveling to outside the EU to buy a smartphone will be roughly zero. > their beloved Apple devices. lmao the most American comment. Feeling love for a brand. Just pure ideology.

They wont. Do you really think people are going to storm Brussels because they have to buy a Samsung or Motorola phone instead of an Iphone?

The whole idea of laws like the DMA isnt that the whiny babies that consumers are get whatever their monkey brain wants. Its to protect the wider marketplace. And yes yes it isnt perfect. But the crying and weeping of the big American tech

Its almost like Google and Apple are colluding to undermine legitimate laws to protect their profits. Guess they feel emboldened by having a raving lunatic in the White House, willing to attack allies (or whats left of that friendship) to p

If the alternative is Google and Apple deciding which rules apply to them, yes?

by FranzFerdiNaN 1y ago
You are proposing that every citizen decides which laws apply to them and which not?

Do people really want them, or is that what is offered and do most people just buy whatever they see in a store or on the first page of a retailer online? We keep pretending that everything that companies do is because consumers want it, bu

It works, but it also makes me hate my life. It’s just so incredibly mind numbing boring to do.

That only works if elections can be considered fair and square. With this government the chance they will try to turn it into something more like a Russian election is way above 0%, and most likely will reach about 100%.

Lets not pretend that this government will allow the Democrats to win those elections. They are going to do anything they can to fuck with the results.

Its not incoherent, its the White House using the power and might of the United States government and law enforcement against it's own people, because they will just declare anything they dont like 'Antifa' or 'the left&

There really is a huge gap between a programmer and being capable at using a computer. I work in the data space and while im good enough for my own needs with Python and grew up in the 90s with MS-DOS and Windows 3.1/95, the second i h

Yeah seriously doubting you really lived in the EU instead of just shitposting as another American patriot who has to declare that everything is better in the US. Because I’m Dutch and banks here are fine. I never even have to think about m

This isn’t true. They couldn’t stop talking about free speech and how their hate speech should be allowed and if you didn’t like it you’re just a snowflake.

by FranzFerdiNaN 1y ago
Free speech is for them not for you or me. Always has been.

Especially with how tech companies and tech billionaires influence politics.

The problem is that America is now ruled by a de facto king, who uses the power of the state to submit corporations and people to do his bidding.

When has this government give a single care about free speech or the constitution or even the law in general?

Its always the same with the right: its plain racism.

by FranzFerdiNaN 1y ago
They're conservatives, so they dont care about rules and laws. Thats their entire world view: rules are for others, protections are for them.

So its not easy, because it doesnt cover all cases. Like yeah, its easy to define all colors in only black and white, if i just ignore all colors that arent black or white.

I still have a 12 mini as a work phone and that thing is great. My personal phone is a 16 pro and the only real advantage it has (for me) is the 120hz screen and the way better battery. I actively hate it's weight, especially combined
