Slightly off topic but this is potentially a disaster for desktop apps and anything not SaaS. Correct me if I am wrong, the law requires to provide 5 years of security updates for apps. Some apps can leverage models such as "use it forever, but you only get updates for certain time without renewing". That allows companies *that ship apps where you can own your data* use a yearly subscription model and remain profitable. Now the desktop app vendor will be required to support users 5 years back, possibly shipping multiple builds (legacy versions with security updates and new version with features). Meanwhile the SaaS vendor charges a monthly fee and only has to care about security for the period of the subscription. I wonder how JetBrains is going to deal with that, I am pretty sure that their perpetual fallback is not updated for 5 years. But it's a big company, a small startup wanting to ship a desktop app will cry and despite the best intentions may as well change the direction to ship SaaS... The act provides the incentive to enshittify everything.
