If you've charged your phone you've paid for their overpriced accessories due to the mfi program. They basically put drm on the charging cable that you either had to pay them licensing for.
Apple themselves have been using usb c since 2015 in their laptops. They knew then that it was superior, but would be much harder to sell overpriced accessories for.
This isn't an action between states. A US based company bought oil from Iran (hence why it's Iranian oil, they're referencing origin, not ownership) to sell to China. That us based company was found to be in violation of US sanctions against Iran. They capitulated because they still wish to do business in the US.
It's like no one reads the stories anymore. There was no military involvement here. The company was notified through legal channels they they were in violation and willingly relinquished the ship/oil.
The analogy is closer to you getting banned by a lemmy instance for breaking their rules when replying to comments from another instance. Just because you're abroad doesn't mean you're ungoverned.
Was just pointing out how silly the argument is.
You gonna ban stuff like because you’re too lazy to supervise your kid and they might read it?
Can literally be applied to any content and doubly so when your example has a history of gender-bending.
I'm personally against banning any of the content because how can people make decisions without knowledge? Gay and trans people exist whether you like it or not, pretending they don't is just bad parenting.
It's renewable in the same way that solar is. Eventually the sun will die and solar won't work just like we'll eventually run out of fissible material.
When I read it earlier they implied the employee was coming off fmla leave for clinical anxiety. It's super illegal to fire someone for taking fmla leave.
Every one of those accessories could have been cheaper if apple didn't effectively drm their port through the mfi program.
