A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

So, that's a yes on the enforced monopolies?

IMHO it’s Apple’s product and thus Apple’s rules. It’s not about monopoly, it’s just Apple having control over their own product. You’re still free to NOT buy their product.

So you're entirely against the EU's DMA?

[–] mbirth@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I’m against the whole EU construct. I’d like to see them downgraded to the EEC/EEA again. So, yes, I’m also against those pencil-pushers in little Brussels making stupid (to be fair: sometimes, very rarely, less stupid) laws instead of letting people decide with their money.

Ah, and I would bet a lot of money you don't actually live in the EU, do you?

[–] mbirth@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 weeks ago

Born there and lived there until very recently. That's why I'm so against it. 😉
