albert180··on Epic says Apple will reinstate developer account
Not everyone is a Libertarian.

Some had a nice childhood or brain cells and recognize the difference between a dictatorship and a government working in their favor to protect them from big duopols disrupting competition

albert180··on Epic says Apple will reinstate developer account
The penalties for Non-Compliance are up to 10% of the global turnover of a company.

If you are flexing your muscles and end up loosing, you are probably loosing your jobs, because shareholders and everyone else will be angry with you

albert180··on Epic says Apple will reinstate developer account
Yes very unlikely, that Apple didn't want to try out the new 10% penalty of global turnover, after the commission said she is looking into it and days after Apple was bonked with a 1.8bn fine for violating antitrust regulations
albert180··on WhatsApp Messaging Interoperability
Just use an Add-On like Consent-O-Matic that declines/accept (based on your preferences) automatically for you. This way you also don't have to deal with the illegal shady dark patterns, many companies use
albert180··on Apple terminates Epic Games developer account, calling it a 'threat' to iOS
You misspelled Apple
albert180··on I spend £8,500 a year to live on a train
It's even easier to forget stuff on the train and blame it onto theft
albert180··on YaCy, a distributed Web Search Engine, based on a peer-to-peer network
It's probably him YaCy is made by a German Dude
albert180··on I spend £8,500 a year to live on a train
Well, sounds like the people you know are not the brightest. Usually they make announcements on the stations where thefts occur to watch your belongings. (Usually where the train stays for 10-20 Minutes). I also don't know anyone who has gotten something stolen on the train personally.

Lol Trains in the UK are shit. Every ICE Trainset and even most commuter services have way more comfort than the UK trains with uncomfortable seats, usually no tables or sockets in second class on commuter routes, a smell of shit inside the Avanti Pendolinos, and trains that should have been recycled 30 years ago.
albert180··on Apple Fined $2B in One of Europe's Largest Antitrust Actions
Wall Street Journal is Murdoch Trash, thinking that they have better quality than Reuters is bold
albert180··on Apple hit with over 1.8B euro EU antitrust fine in Spotify case
They don't have a choice as long as they are doing business in the European Union. It will be probably taken out of their Accounts in the European Subsidiary after going through the usual process of People/Companies not paying.
albert180··on Apple hit with over 1.8B euro EU antitrust fine in Spotify case
Yes, poor Apple selling their phones at cost to make money on the ecosystem like Google or Microsoft. Oh wait
albert180··on Apple hit with over 1.8B euro EU antitrust fine in Spotify case
And they aren't even allowed to only charge Apple Users 30% more
albert180··on Apple hit with over 1.8B euro EU antitrust fine in Spotify case
The Outrage out of Cupertino will be even funnier when they will get bonked for their BS Compliance with the DMA
albert180··on French court issues damages award for violation of GPL
If it's a copyright violation, it's illegal. Worse if it's intentional
albert180··on Microsoft Security-101: Open-Source curriculum
From the guys that got their Azure Master Key stolen due to gross incompetence. That's funny
albert180··on Apple reverses course on death of Progressive Web Apps in EU
No, but they are obviously not equivalent in capabilities on iOS
albert180··on Apple reverses course on death of Progressive Web Apps in EU
I hope they bonk them with a huge fine, for their bullshit compliance with the App Store. A few percent of global turnover will hurt badly
albert180··on Apple reverses course on death of Progressive Web Apps in EU
The DMA goes into force only tomorrow. We will see if they will get away. I guess they will get bonked, because they apply more favourable conditions for their own App Store. They might get away if they would charge the fee for all Developers, but the Bullshit with "staying inside the old conditions" will surely get them into trouble
albert180··on Apple reverses course on death of Progressive Web Apps in EU
Yeah, who knows what's inside of OpenSource Firmware like LineageOS. It's a huge mystery

Also I never needed to wait for a carrier to approve an Update for my Android Phone. Neither for my Pixel, Nexus or Samsung Galaxy ones.

And beside the "strict" controls, malicious Apps got in the App Store, and the iPhones themselves also pwned.

Are there other Apple Fanboy Horror Stories about Android that you've missed?

albert180··on Apple reverses course on death of Progressive Web Apps in EU
Because they are their go to excuse why the limitation to the App Store isn't a monopoly with the regulators.
albert180··on Open Collective Official Statement – OCF Dissolution
Could you explain it, instead of making weird implications, that only some insiders will understand?
albert180··on Serverless Horrors
No Colo charges the same insane prices for Traffic as Cloud Providers. Hetzner charges 1€/TB over 20TB for their 10GbE Servers
albert180··on Netlify just sent me a $104k bill for a simple static site
Physical Boxes at Hetzner and the likes are usually way cheaper than most cloud offerings
albert180··on Google helped destroy adoption of RSS feeds (2023)
An RSS Reader is really a technical miracle, requiring lots of maintenance and development effort. I guess a 10€/Month Subscription would be just the minimum for a such an cutting edge product, right?
albert180··on Finnish miracle: how the country halved its suicide rate & saved countless lives
It turns out investing in a social safety net saves people's life. Who would've known that. But it requires a society which still wants to improve the lives of everyone instead of the HackerNews PoV of :"Fuck everyone else, I want the most money for myself. Why should I pay for XYZ"
albert180··on Apple Vision Pro users reporting cracked outer surfaces
Yes they are extremely good with free replacements/repairs after getting sued with a class action. Such a great company
albert180··on Hetzner GPU Server
They stopped because they had a high percentage of abuse with Morons mining crypto
albert180··on Hetzner GPU Server
And they want a customer who will rent the dedicated box for a long time and not wipe it after every 2$/2h Trialcustomer
albert180··on German credit agency earns millions through unlawful customer manipulation
Nope, even the richest Americans don't get better health outcomes than the richer European countries https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullar...
