> These are relatively recent and may have come into force after development began,

If it were the case, Apple would just say it (with receipts).

> I suppose if you think these rules are reasonable, you’d be happy to not have this functionality.

As a European Apple user I am absolutely OK with not having these functionalities, which I am 100% sure would not even work as advertised given the company track record.

>This has never been true, not since Steve Jobs returned.

This is true now more than ever, since their hardware is now much better than the competition and the software pretty abysmal.

>The heart of Apple is software and hardware integration.

The heart of Apple is integrating their excellent hardware with their subpar software in order to force users to adopt it.

You know propaganda has worked flawlessly when you see the US doing US things and the comments are “just like Russia / North Korea / China!”

All the latest Lamborghini cars look like they gave access to CAD software to a 13 old in love with aliens and spaceships. But I agree the Temerario looks slightly better than the 296 GTB.

The lanyard is.. plastic. They could have said it uses the most exquisite handwoven linen (this thing is never seeing seawater anyway) and they chose polyester.

I don't understand the point of the rant. What disaster is having "bad music" out there? Is it stealing storage from "good music"? I understand this kind of rant for an iPhone, where a shitty decision brought along the chain of approval will impact million of people that are more or less stuck in the ecosystem. But music of all things? How do you even get in contact with "bad music"?

>AIs don't have personalities unless you give them personalities.

Do humans have personalities if you don't give them personalities? If you raise two identical kids with exactly the same stimuli, how should they have different personalities?

If it makes you feel better, Apple releases new features at glacial speed and they still suck.

I love Lola rennt so much. Really a one-of-a-kind movie.

When you grow up it's not only nostalgia, but the feeling that most of the ideas are really not new. I remember watching 'You Were Never Really Here', that had a huge hype behind it, and thinking "I have seen this same exact movie a hundred of times".

Cinemas around here have started showing old films and I have rediscovered the joy of going to the movies, whether it's Some Like It Hot or Suicide Club.

You bother people every day with your existence. You are one more car in their traffic, 5 minutes more of waiting in their line, you got the last bagel they were craving. Being a bother to people is part of living in a society, it would be impossible to live without ever being a burden or a nuisance to anyone. I wished I had accepted this earlier in life.

It is normal that there's no native content at HSK3 level. It would be like looking for native content at A1 level in English. But I found the "actual textbooks with precisely-calibrated texts" / graded readers are not that bad. My teacher is a martian was OK, I want to read The Monkey’s Paw now.

It is not the best we have at all, and the choice is not between random internet commenters and the ICJ. You have the International Association of Genocide Scholars and a plethora of human rights associations.

You are choosing who to listen to because you don't like what you are being told by everyone else.

I don't understand your point. You contested a fact "legally", but in your opinion the only authority that should have the final "legal" say in the matter is an impartial and weak one.
