    Meh, don’t care. He made a mistake. In the grand scheme of stupid things celebrities have done, it’s way down the list. I’ll still watch it.

    Now when someone makes racist or anti-Semitic comments, then they deserve cancelling. That exposes their true character more than losing your temper for a moment.

    Right. Physical violence is somehow forgivable, but words are forever. Someone forgot about the old sticks and stones maxim.
    Not what I said. People can lose their cool in an instant and make a mistake (like slapping someone). But being a racist is a deeply rooted part of your character, and not a “mistake” or “accident”.

    They're not tackling anything beyond levying fines on companies above a certain size and market cap and allowing billion/trillion dollar companies to charge commissions on the iOS platform. That's all this is about. The EU never demonstrated that the App Store had higher prices or lower quality relative to other operating systems that offered third party stores or internet based app downloads.  

    I try to block POS trolls, but when others quote them I still end up seeing their shit. Stop wasting time with the obvious troll. If nobody responds he has no reason to be here. Trolls thrive on the reactions they get.

    Maybe we will be lucky enough to elect new leaders to Congress this Fall who will threaten EU tariffs if this is implemented

    All the “gatekeepers” will be American 


    This. The rules are written is such a way that it exclusively targets Apple, Amazon, Google and Microsoft but conveniently avoids an EU tech companies.

    laws should target behaviors. Period. Making them only apply to companies with a certain amount of revenue or users is asinine.

    I guarantee this gets challenged in court. Even if they don’t get it overturned they could get the clauses regarding company size removed, forcing ALL EU tech companies to comply. That includes you, Spotify.

  • Apple rumored to be testing macOS for M2 iPad Pro

    ericthehalfbeeericthehalfbee
    What I’ve been calling for years is a dual-boot iPad Pro.

    When docked to the proper keyboard/trackpad it behaves exactly like a MacBook Air. When used on its own it runs iPadOS. If you’re on iPadOS and dock to a keyboard, it prompts you if you want to continue using iPadOS or if you want to switch to macOS.

    I don’t want or need a touch enabled version of macOS.
