Time is a human construct there is no “supposed”.

I will never understand why people want the time we only use for 3 months to be the time we use for the whole year. I would rather people just be able to admit that December is dark (for the northern hemisphere) and we can do shit at a different time.

This is already a copyright apocalypse though isn’t it? If there is nothing wrong with this then where is the line? Is it okay for Disney to make a movie using an AI trained on some poor sap on Deviant Art’s work? This feels like copyright laundering. I fail to see how we aren’t just handing the keys of human creativity to only those with the ability to afford a server farm and teams of lawyers.

As a UX person often my job is to implement somebody else’s vision rather than being able to design something that makes sense.

There is also a PWA version for those looking to try it out, and I believe it’s on F-Droid as well.

Ahem… it’s Edge Webview 2. Which I promise is in no way exactly the same as Electron…

People already say the same about Photoshop and people already don’t believe them.

9/11 helped but by that point Christian nationalists had already spent the 20 years since Regan tying patriotism to faith.

I didn’t say that. What I said was if you change “monopoly” for “anticompetitive practices” my question still stands. “How is it different from how Nintendo acts with the Switch?” Keeping in mind that I had already conceded that better smartwatch access made sense.

While I appreciate semantic clarity as much as anybody else I’m not sure it changes my question in this case.

I rarely find myself defending giant corporations but after having looked at the list it seems I am going to have to.

Some of the things do make sense, like allowing other smartwatches the same notification access as Apple Watches. But others like the audio switching seem to lack a fundamental understanding of how that even works.

I keep trying to figure out though what exactly Apple has a monopoly in… they don’t have the largest segment of any market they are in so it makes it seem like the EU is complaining that they have a monopoly on iPhones… which… yes… but that is like saying Nintendo has a monopoly on the Switch.

Edit: I seem to have failed to express the nuance I wanted to. None the less there seem to be some issues with the demands here and I think it will be interesting to see how this pans out.
