Yes in general. The whole entire premise of the DMA is that gatekeepers should have their power to meddle with competitors taken away. Article 6(4). > The gatekeeper shall allow and technically enable the installation and effective use

Those things make it flawed, not worthless. Your "precise" point was that the DSM-5 is worthless, please don't move the goalposts now.

Exactly as predicted [0] and ahead of schedule. I didn't think they would be so bold while the EU investigations are still pending. Can we now revisit the arguments that people were making in those threads to defend this? [0] https:&#

I didn't restate anything, I corrected you because you take every opportunity to downplay negative effects that these disorders have on people's lives, and you've done it again by simply labeling it "discomfort". Yo

A ridiculous argument. Most often a disorder will impact activities you enjoy just as much as those you don't. Very broadly speaking, if all of your symptoms go away when you get home from work then you don't have a disorder, just

But that has nothing to do with certificates as such and everything to do with app store policies. Certificates don't induce churn - app stores do.
