Who would've thought? This isn’t going to fly with the EU.

Article 5.3 of the Digital Markets Act (DMA): "The gatekeeper shall not prevent business users from offering the same products or services to end users through third-party online intermediation services or through their own direct online sales channel at prices or conditions that are different from those offered through the online intermediation services of the gatekeeper."

Friendly reminder that you can sideload apps without jailbreaking or paying for a dev account using TrollStore, which utilises core trust bugs to bypass/spoof some app validation keys, on a iPhone XR or newer on iOS 14.0 up to 16.6.1. (ANY version for iPhone X and older)

A say “sad” because you could call me a “Google-hater” but never in my life have I wasted time shitting on everything anti consumer thing they do.

I use Apple products, think they're a shitty company, but who offer the best products in a world of shitty companies. And as someone who's used Macs since 2007, I've noticed time and time again how people will shit on me and my choice of computer while I never shit on theirs in return.

Do I bitch about Windows on the occasions I have to use it? Yes, of course, because it's fucking terrible/ not what I'm used to, but I appreciate that some people are happy to use it, or have to for whatever reason. My criticism of the OS isn't a personal attack on anyone who uses it.

But yeah, my choice of computer is a personal failing, apparently.
