Not everyone is a Libertarian.

Some had a nice childhood or brain cells and recognize the difference between a dictatorship and a government working in their favor to protect them from big duopols disrupting competition

The penalties for Non-Compliance are up to 10% of the global turnover of a company.

If you are flexing your muscles and end up loosing, you are probably loosing your jobs, because shareholders and everyone else will be angry with you

Yes very unlikely, that Apple didn't want to try out the new 10% penalty of global turnover, after the commission said she is looking into it and days after Apple was bonked with a 1.8bn fine for violating antitrust regulations

Just use an Add-On like Consent-O-Matic that declines/accept (based on your preferences) automatically for you. This way you also don't have to deal with the illegal shady dark patterns, many companies use

It's even easier to forget stuff on the train and blame it onto theft

Well, sounds like the people you know are not the brightest. Usually they make announcements on the stations where thefts occur to watch your belongings. (Usually where the train stays for 10-20 Minutes). I also don't know anyone who has gotten something stolen on the train personally.

Lol Trains in the UK are shit. Every ICE Trainset and even most commuter services have way more comfort than the UK trains with uncomfortable seats, usually no tables or sockets in second class on commuter routes, a smell of shit inside the Avanti Pendolinos, and trains that should have been recycled 30 years ago.

They don't have a choice as long as they are doing business in the European Union. It will be probably taken out of their Accounts in the European Subsidiary after going through the usual process of People/Companies not paying.

Yes, poor Apple selling their phones at cost to make money on the ecosystem like Google or Microsoft. Oh wait

And they aren't even allowed to only charge Apple Users 30% more

The Outrage out of Cupertino will be even funnier when they will get bonked for their BS Compliance with the DMA

No, but they are obviously not equivalent in capabilities on iOS

I hope they bonk them with a huge fine, for their bullshit compliance with the App Store. A few percent of global turnover will hurt badly

The DMA goes into force only tomorrow. We will see if they will get away. I guess they will get bonked, because they apply more favourable conditions for their own App Store. They might get away if they would charge the fee for all Developers, but the Bullshit with "staying inside the old conditions" will surely get them into trouble

Yeah, who knows what's inside of OpenSource Firmware like LineageOS. It's a huge mystery

Also I never needed to wait for a carrier to approve an Update for my Android Phone. Neither for my Pixel, Nexus or Samsung Galaxy ones.

And beside the "strict" controls, malicious Apps got in the App Store, and the iPhones themselves also pwned.

Are there other Apple Fanboy Horror Stories about Android that you've missed?
