  • Illinois latest to try to mandate payments from outside the 'oppressive regime' App Store

    mac_dogmac_dog
    2 things (not necessarily related):

    1) Oppressive? Go live China, North Korea or any number of oppressive regimes, then we can have a discussion. 

    Americans are such fucking babies, they think having to wear a mask (which means having consideration for people outside their little isolated bubbles) is oppressive — yet somehow they can’t make the connection/association of how oppressive it is to control a woman’s body. Put your fucking big-boy pants on and grow-the-fuck up!

    and…

    2) This is simply a work around to the privacy features Apple is building into its products. 

    Essentially, you have politicians who are being purchased by data collecting/marketing firms (and companies like Facebook who have built their entire income stream from personal information that is essentially stolen) and are butt hurt bcoz they may have to pay for the info.

    if they were making these laws to apply them equally across all sectors, it might be a good thing, but singling out tech is bullshit and driven by other big players who see potential revenue they simply can steal.

  • Sports Illustrated swimsuit model says she was tracked for hours with AirTag

    mac_dogmac_dog
    I guess people haven’t learned how to take precautions. Go out with clothing that zips, check your pockets frequently. And if you find an AirTag, throw it on a police cruiser or a recycling truck. Just a few that I can think of off hand. And people who leave their purses/backpacks open are simply asking for it to happen.

    It always struck me as funny/pathetic ...'don't be evil' it is literally the lowest bar possible for 'goodness'. 
    There's no quantifiable measurement for what defines "evil".  There are things most people would agree upon, like murder…
    Well, except it you’re white, living in the south, and kill a person of color. THAT’s where we draw the line. Apparently.

  • EU to charge 'anti-competitive' Apple over reserving NFC for Apple Pay

    mac_dogmac_dog
    The rest of the world (especially the US & EU) should tread lightly with respect to Apple. If they start dismantling the company, they’ll go broke.  They don’t seem to have any other means of generating funds other than these endless lawsuits where Apple is always paying out.

  • Bill Maher declares Apple CSAM tools a 'blatant constitutional breach'

    mac_dogmac_dog
    But I bet he has nothing to say about Israel committing genocide on the Palestinian people. He should stick to comedy.
