I genuinly don't understand why North Korea and China have such a... "good"?... relationship. Since this seems like an open secret, idk it just boggles my mind. Like I constantly see articles about it happening, but I have ye

As long as you stay within the Apple ecosystem, I find iCloud great. I pay for the 2Tb plan (technically part of Apple One, but I paid for the 1TB before that transition). It does what I need, it easily syncs between all of my devices, and

Probably, and I am not arguing that. I think it is important to point out that clearly there could be improvements to the App Store without opening it wide open. However, this has nothing to do with my core problem here of now in the EU hav

I think it was last week we were talking about a different emulator that was approved, so let's not try to jump to conclusions about why Apple may or may not have done something. I have not seen anything that the release on the App Sto

Clearly though they are fine with charging a yearly fee to access the store. So why not just charge for the app in the EU IF that really is the problem here. Give users that choice, that is all I am asking for here. Actually give users a ch

Android is a good point because there were a lot of people trying to say, well this didn't happen on Android. I get it from a developer stand point, but from a user standpoint I bought an iPhone because of the restrictions developers h

Or, you know the developer could do what they did in other countries and just put it on the EU App store... Clearly it works there, according to the verge it's identical. Could even charge the same $2 a year if they really want too. Ag

I never mentioned anything about the fee, just that you have to use a different store.

by nerdjon 3y ago
Um... no where did I mention anything about the fee... They could have put the app on the app store on the EU and on their store. But did not.

Right? This is exactly what I have been worried about and people tried to explain to tell me that, no this doesn't remove choice from me as a user. When in fact it does, if I was in the EU (and if the US does something similar, likely

I really feel like, regardless of where you fall on the particular war, we really should not like the idea of supplying resources like this to an active war. It also concerns me that given the nature of this war, that the idea of protesting

It really isn't fair to ask that, it makes no sense. Religion and a lack of societal understanding (largely fueled by religion) is a very easy explanation. More people today feel safe coming out or even know what being gay is. It is be
