While you are technically correct in that, everyone operating in Europe is required to comply with a GPR, there are many who don’t. And they face varying levels of punishment.

But Saudi Arabia is not in the EU, and social media company can register in whatever country they want despite their ownership.

So what will happen? They will fragrantly violate the GDPR, and escape any fines due to jurisdictional limitations. And even if they do face fines, there are some… “Political “ways to negate them.

Sadly, even Europe, as progressive as it is, sterilize on Saudi oil. That can always be used to pressure government representatives into complying with their well rather than the Will of the people.

Far too kind.

I’m not a brain-rotted idiot, so, obviously, yes.

I’m sure it’s not the first, and absolutely positive, that it isn’t the last time

It’s not capitalism without exploitation.

Personally, I find Safari to be a goddamn amazing browser, especially considering a lot of its features. People here, the free and open source folk, absolutely hate it on the sole purpose that it is owned by a corporation. And, although it does share user data, anonymize’s that data to a great degree, and also prevents fingerprinting. Also, Apple does not sell it data that it collects, they only use it for internal purposes.

I find no problem with that. I think another huge issue is the difficulty in writing Safari extensions – – especially, that you have to pay for access to the developer store (although they may have changed that for Safari ext devs).

I’m a user experience, designer, so whenever gives the best experience to the end user is, obviously, the correct choice. There’s only so much the “experts” get to have a say in how any random individual uses the tools at the disposal.

That said, I absolutely love Safari as a web browser, but I definitely understand how a lot of people do not.

Although I may not have been as effective as seeing it, that’s pretty much what I was trying to say. Thank you, I suppose, for putting it into more understandable and relatable terms.

That is always the operative word. Except for those who don’t can’t and will never accept that that word exists.

Can’t disagree with you there

Like I said, I’m not too familiar with wholesale pricing. I’ll take your word for it.

Nobody here is whining. I’m just surprised.

It’s OK if you understand that. No one will hate you for it, I promise.

I like it, myself, but not when it’s a major global multi billion dollar corporation doing it.

I suppose. One of my favorite games is from 1992 and called ultimate underworld.

It was a far superior game regarding storyline, plot, and gameplay.

But I’m not here to yuck anyone. Although that is quite literally what I did.

Agreed, although I will say that, everywhere else I’ve been, Florida is a good example, the price of a bottle was only a few dollars more. Not nine dollars.

But that’s not the wholesale price, that’s the retail price. And that is also absolute crazy bullshit. I can see how it was not a hard decision to make.

My iPhone 14 Pro has no AI and still works as wonderfully well as it did the first day I bought it. And I know that on iOS, you can simply disable the AI element.

But, yeah, the “promise of AI” was always bullshit.

There are people who still admit to playing World of Warcraft to other people?

Yikes

You just know he would backtrack and say something completely different like “parents are abusing their children” in order to rationalize this particular bit of crazy.

The market is “free” to fuck you and everyone you know on the ass.

Didn’t you know that’s what “free market“ means?
