those pesky regulations. back in the good ol days where I could pillage for a living, but then that damn government came and took away my livelihood! How dare they! </sarcasm> Just because you made money of it, it doesn't me

it would be horrible regulation if you tell how to comply instead of telling what to comply with. as written elsewhere (since you obviously didn't read anything) your proposed solution would be just fine. But people opted out of impmen

more like, if you don't attend you'll get expelled from the group. Meaning you'll get fired. But then again. if you don't like the group, your job, go on a quest to find someone else to spend you time with. that is proba

I have the opposite sentiment. Most important are relations to me. everytime you decline an event, you drift one step away from a person or a group. However, you can decide that people are not important and cut them out all together. But if

The top comment is interesting: > If you wrote this software during your working time (nine to five), and were paid for that time, then the company owns the software. I don't live in the US, but copyright laws are quite homogeneous

this thread really should sink to the bottom, as had also happened. criticizing is great! but it would be fantastic with enlightening discussion.

Why not? Do you care to expand on your comment?

a proposition does not need to be proved nor falsified. It can exist as a hypothesis. I think that is what the parent commenter points to. I the current environment it is dangerous to be fixed in your opinion, at least until there are prope

This has nothing to do with the US. This has something to do with a small set of companies (less than 10) and how they act in the EU. Apple is free to do whatever they want that is legal in the US.

Can you elaborate on why you think the EU is asking a lot? I think we are in this phase where we realise that we are increasingly dependent on infrastructure and that we need to regulate it in order for it to be in line with the societal va

This is ridiculous. If you develop a game that needs to be available on all major platforms, Apple devices are a part of them. Are you also one of the people, who would argue, that you can build you own road network, if you don't like

This is not being pedantic? Apple is currently fully liable under the DMA. Especially for new initiatives, which what happened yesterday indeed was.

I think very few developers wish to be customers of Apple. But Apple gatekeeps the platform developers need to publish on. It is this relations that is the core of DMA, and which DMA seeks to change.

because of the way the software you use, use other software that is licensed. Just like it is not legal to do copyright infringement indifferent to how much you own the hardware you do it on.

This is about the vehicle . The Bulgarian company is welcome to acquire a French registered vehicle and let it drive in France for years - it might come with extra requirements around having a French subsidy. As stated elsewhere: This is p

what free market? can you explain me what a free market is like I was a 2 year old? if Spotify hire a militia and let them demolish all Apples offices, is that just the free market? Apple should just have invested more in defense.

your comments are so light gray that I need to select the text to even read it. it seems like consensus is that it is trolling. Spotify did take care of themselves. that is what we are seeing the result of now.

Video games are not general applications, but a niche set of applications. The tradition I look into when downloading Spotify is WinAMP, VLC, FileZilla and the like.

Oh yes, I completely agree. These are also issues in both Oslo and Copenhagen. But having rules like this removes some speculation.
