I’m aware of the plan; I live there
The same state has had a raging, unboundaried surveillance hardon for 25 years. Again, they really, *really* want to scan all your private messages (while theirs are exempted from scanning).
The solution requires state digital ID, even if they claim your actual activity can’t be linked.
Nemlig.
Everybody seems to be piling on and attacking, but it's only a little exaggerated.
To enforce this you need centralised, state-ID-linked age-verification systems for website access. Bear in mind that Denmark is the country pushing Chat Control. That's the play here imho.
What?
SteamOS plays the actual games. It's not streaming from another source.
I've been following the Danish surveillance escalation for 25 years (I live there). It's been consistently aggressive across changing governments.
The problem lies with the real, entrenched power in the Ministry of Justice. It makes no difference whatsoever which party you vote for.
As somebody who was in tech during the 90s and 00s, I can say with high certainty that Bill Gates is a psychopath. All the white- and green-washing of his image in the time since doesn't change that.
Whatever he's doing, he's doing for his own gain.
Apple has the biggest money bags of all of them though. So from the state's perspective, this is the smart move.
They have a complete monopoly on Software, Hardware and any other component (I'm not clear what other sort of component there is other than Software, or Hardware, but I'm humoring your wierd argument here out of respect) , on iphones . That isn't controversial, its a simple statement of reality.
What kind of fuckery are these arguments? Tesla has a monopoly on the software and hardware in their products. Can anybody else than Tesla make a Tesla? WE MUST REGULATE THEM UNTIL WE CONTROL THEIR BUSINESS BECAUSE THEY'RE CLEARLY A MONOPOLY BY THE WAY THINGS WORK IN MY HEAD.
The DMA doesn't claim Apple has a monopoly; they define Apple as a gatekeeper. Try reading and understanding the thing you're blindly defending here. You might find that it's not as wonderful and consumer-friendly as you imagine.
That's a fine rant, but you're being disingenuous imho. These examples, and the Lightning case in particular, are so profoundly different to DMA as to be incomparable.
Nobody's avoiding buying an iPhone because Apple disagrees with DMA. Plenty of people disagree with swaths of the DMA, European consumers included (I'm one of them).
And fwiw, Lightning was kind great for its time, and was a main source of the tech in USB-C. Apple was a main driver in the development of USB-C.
The irony here of course is that the Air is the most durable iPhone ever made; far from flimsy.
The Swedish MEPs got 100s of emails per day about it, but maintained their pro-dystopian stance on the matter.
Democracy in action.
The point where experts in the field, licensed medical doctors in the infectious disease and immunology fields for example, being excluded from public discourse for asking for a fact based discussion, is the problem.
Judging by their response, I feel quite convinced that these doctors and experts are exactly the people ArchieBunker isn't going to have a rational discussion with.
I've never understood the motivation in censoring racism online.
Posting slurs on Twitter is one of the least harmful things these morons could be spending their time doing.
Not on 'it':
I'm running Mountain Lion without issue or hacks on an early 2008 Macbook Pro. That's 5 years service and counting.
Some machines do get left behind, but this doesn't seem to me like planned obsolescence, it's hardware that just can't do the job for whatever reason.
But hey! It's cool to tell everybody that Apple is evil. Rock on!
