There are such things as good and bad in the world. Cultural relativism is brain poison. It is very important to define and fight for universal human rights, such as the right to date and marry someone regardless of gender.

It was not a law that put us in this position, it was the Supreme Court of California. In any case, AB2257 fixes the issues with AB5 that needed to be fixed.

Good. People experiencing the social consequences of expressing bigoted views, and being a little more afraid as a result, is how the world moves forward. A term sometimes used for it is the "democratization of discomfort". The Fi

In other words, given the rates of poverty among Black trans women, you don't want her to be allowed to exist. Your view is not above regular politics. It is a view that's firmly embedded within the right wing of regular politics.

Public transportation does not in fact exist in large parts of the US. Our society puts so many people in impossible binds. This discussion needs a great deal more empathy for them.

Well, what actually happens is that there's less pressure on web developers to make their sites faster (in contrast to other business goals) and so we reach a new equilibrium where sites perform just as badly. Web developers aren'

This also applies if you sign up for, say, HBO from an iOS device. You can keep using the same subscription on Android but can't cancel. If you subscribe to HBO on Google Play, you can keep using it and cancel it on iOS. The asymmetr

Yes, Apple should let you cancel by mail. And the web. You keep making these claims that I'm sure sound more outlandish to you, and I think all of them are quite reasonable. The purpose of a system is what it does.

Apple does send those emails, but the link to unsubscribe simply doesn't work on Linux or Android. It's the most absurd thing.

Of course you should be able to cancel without requiring JavaScript.

No, what the fuck? It's not "on me". It's on Apple to make it easy to cancel even if I no longer have an Apple product or Windows PC on hand. Borrow a friend's PC? Spin up an AWS Windows instance? Seriously, WTF?! I

You are talking past each other. Markets can be free in principle but not in practice for various reasons (oligopolies, monopsonies, etc).

Yes, this is partly about Apple being "punished" for its success. That is a good thing. Entities that are too successful become too powerful and should be "punished" for it.

In the world I inhabit, Apple is the one that intentionally makes it really hard to cancel subscriptions. You literally cannot cancel a subscription to an iOS app from an Android phone or Linux PC.

That's a front for a network of white nationalist organizations, not an actual union.

Because most of the world does not have the infrastructure that the US has, and so they wouldn't be able to benefit society (as a whole) nearly as much. Because some people are queer or from other minority communities within their home

There's a big gap between kicking out and being on a level playing field, and Apple Music and Spotify certainly are not on a level playing field.
