You think you want this, but you really don’t. If Apple is gone then Android is all that exists and THAT IS A REAL MONOPOLY.

Don’t bother mate. Lemmy is a dumpster fire filled with angsty teenagers who hate their green bubble. It’ll be another couple decades before they understand how the world works.

People forget the state of SMS before Apple decided to tell telcos to go fuck themselves and rolled out iMessage.

Americans would still be paying per-text message without Apple.

Nothing is stopping people from downloading whatever chat app they want to use. EU has done that.

Am I? For ditching a product that sold out my personal info by using a paid-for service designed to protect my privacy?

I gave Mozilla their chance and they pulled this shit.

So a law designed to force more competitive app stores actually results in negative consequences for users?

Good job EU, don’t go all shocked pikachu on us now.

Good news is that Arc for Windows is coming out of open beta soon. Finally time for me to ditch Firefox.

But you don’t understand. It’s Apple’s responsibility to make iMessage work across all platforms instead of users making informed decisions and using WhatsApp/FacebookMessenger/Whatever nth version of chat app Google is offering. /s

Bunch toddlers demanding equal playtime with a toy they don’t own and then ranting to their mom, who instead of buying the toy for their kid, sues the neighbor to force them to let their kid play with the toy.

What existing rules? The rules designed for 19th/20th century oil companies that don’t apply to modern tech companies?

New rules are being written.

Apple could play in the game with a different set of rules

They’re playing a different game because they’re the ones who built the ballpark they’re playing in. Don’t like the game? Don’t go to the ballpark.

It’s so exhausting how you people simply can’t accept “don’t buy Apple” and leave it alone.

Tbh he should get the money if he somehow convinced all those mods to work for free

Well it’ll only be fully consenting brains.

Thanks for being my first, I guess

Android is an ecosystem made up of OEMs under the lead of Google, and all these OEMs have different business models. Google’s however, is an ad-based monopoly. Totally different business model. You referring to Android as a single entity shows how clueless you are about this topic.

Mobile is a different environment compared to desktop, so you’re comparing Apples to oranges.

And I’m speaking to a bunch of incel teenagers who are baby raging about a green bubble and how their parents won’t get them an iPhone.

That’s literally an argument in the DoJ’s case, btw. A case led by incels.

You don’t need to buy an iPhone, and if you don’t have one then this doesn’t affect you and you’re baby raging about nothing. If you do have one and are still mad, then perhaps evaluate how little self control you have over your purchases.

What lock in? I can’t export my Google Play movies the same way I can’t export iTunes movies. What am I missing?

People don’t need to use an iPhone. A symptom of our declining society is expecting people or businesses to accommodate your personal interests instead of you making an adult decision.

Passing this would destroy Apple’s entire business, where they spend their effort and money deeply integrating their products to work together.

Instead, they’ll have to spend their time and money creating an API to let random Joe make a watch for an ecosystem they did nothing to create, foster, or maintain.

Agreed. Canada needs to bolster its own army instead of always relying on the US. Saving their arms is a good idea.

I’m convinced humanity doesn’t deserve software or computers in general. OP really be complaining about less than 6 quarters…
