I don’t buy it.

The alleged misconduct happened in 2023 December. Internal investigation was conducted and closed. Then the allegation was made publically just as arrest warrant was issued for war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu and US promised to retaliate. Patented US handiwork to me.

Even if it were true, that doesn’t make the arrest warrant less relevant, but this way all the genocide supporters can pretend they are not the bad guys…

Lets hope it stays open source.

It implies that Apple payment system is the only “private and secure payment system”. Which is false, as we covered every single payment processor operating in the EU (as in allowed to take payments from EU citizens) is private and secure as that’s a requirement for them to even be able to operate in the first place.

If the warning was “App uses external payment processor”. That would have been a different story, no?

If the app developer uses non-Apple payment processor, those refunds would be handled by that payment processor. The potencial app removal would be handled by Apple or alternative store it’s installed from.

I wouldn’t be surprised if some of those apps are using payment processors outside the EU to circumvent this.

You misunderstood. It’s based on the country they are operating in (not where they are based). If they take payments from EU citizens, they are bound by EU law.

All banks/approved payment proccesors operating in the EU comply with that as it’s mandated by law. Note that I said operating, not based.

Old Microsoft tactic. It’s good to see that Apple is determinied to surpass Microsoft shitty reputation.

“Why would you kill someone and decimate an entire family just because she was taking photos?” she told AFP ahead of her film’s premiere at the Cannes Festival Thursday.

Because that’s what Zionism is. It’s not about peace, it’s about violence. And that’s who controls current Israeli government.

“Depriving persons of their liberty on the basis of an arrest warrant issued in the absence of the necessary legal pre-conditions is an egregious violation of fundamental human rights and of the rule of law,” Israel argued.

So by this statement all the Israel’s prisons full of Palestinian hostages jailed but not charged with any crime should be freed, right?

In other words, US to provide aid to CEOs pockets…

In that case, India must be at war with itself then since the number of terror attacks it enacted against minorities inside India is extremely high.

I can’t say what I really want in this community due to rules, but anyone who thinks like this doesn’t deserse to call themselves a human being.

Trump got pegged and now wants to reverse the course, but going back to the status quo won’t work. The US will have to make concessions. The US economy shrank, while China’s grew after Trump’s tariffs. They also made several trade deals as a result of them. They hold all the power in the negotiations.

It seems US actually loves migrants they are just racists.

Oudated.

You don’t need to subsidize EU industry at the taxpayers expense to achieve economic independence. Refusing cheaper goods for arbitrary reasons just makes EU look stupid. The key is to buy on your own terms under which you never give foreign nation control over you.

Look at France. Their whole country is built on sovereign independence in critical areas. They achieved it buy building their own industry, while taking goods deals from other countries, not by refusing them and making their own people lives harder.

What EU should really do is accept the cheap solar panels from China but under their own terms. No remote access data, storage in EU only, and enforce EU legal jurisdiction for all disputes. China needs a market, they will accept those conditions. It would be huge win/win for both sides.

Moving away from cheap goods to protect non-existing industry doesn’t makes any sense, but that’s what corporate “centrism” gets you in the EU. Buy cheap while you build your own industry and then when you reach competitive state you can change the terms.

Alternative is special interest groups decides for you. Even if I disagree with the majority of people, at least it’s people deciding. And if we are unhappy about stupid people, it’s on us to change that.
