It seems like you want to force Apple to adopt a roadmap you have laid out for them.

I’m not ‘claiming’ it won’t pass judicial review. I am stating an opinion. Do you understand that? I don’t think the EU laws are similar. That is another opinion. Neither of these statements are false. You may disagree with my opinions

I do expect that it won’t pass judicial review. However that is a discussion for another time. Remember the proposal hasn’t come before either house yet. Imagining the law is an instantaneous process seems misguided. So you’ve now wasted

Do you expect us to believe that you thought you’d be able to install Linux when you bought your iPhone?

The points you were responding to are just rebuttals of your own claims of legal knowledge. > This is code for "I have absolutely no good arguments, or any legal justification, for why it is illegal, I just want to assert that it is

It is true. It’s not hard to check it. If you want to proceed with this line of discussion, you should do some googling rather than persisting with false claims.

If you wanted Linux or Android, why did you buy an iPhone?

Yes. As I said, Apple’s profits come mostly from hardware sales. Thanks for posting data proving me right. You probably should have googled that before you made your false claim. Not after.

The judge found almost all of apple’s practices to be ok and not to be anti-competitive. They were ordered to stop only the narrowest of behaviors. If you think that means you can just claim any practice of theirs is anti-competitive then y

It’s up to you. Buy them if you want them. Don’t if you don’t.

You have to be the least informed hacker in the world if you bought an thinking you could do that. There are plenty of alternatives to the iPhone if you want to compile on Linux.

They do. If you don’t know that, your comment is misinformed.

Nope that’s complete bullshit. Do some googling.

No, the GP is talking about an App Store within the Facebook app.

The practices aren’t anti-competitive. That’s just it. This is all about a few other multi-billion dollar companies trying to take money for something they didn’t build. It’s laughably naive to think this is about individual citizens voti

I think Apple is more than their store too. I also think they if Apple is forced to allow alternate stores, users and developers will suffer, the industry will be set back, and a few scummy operators will take some rent.

It doesn’t matter how many links you post if they don’t answer the relevant questions: How many security flaws are there, and when do you anticipate that they will all be eliminated? If you can’t answer these questions, then you can’t make

You still haven’t addressed the fact that you are lying about apple’s security. You don’t know how many flaws there are, how long before they are fixed, or how many are protected against by the App Store. You have no facts and yet you conti

You don’t seem to realize that Apple’s profits come mostly from hardware sales.

That’s irrelevant. It would be simple enough for Facebook for example to build a store into their own App, and build their own ‘platform’ within the Facebook app.

Those links don’t address the fact they you’ve been lying up until now about your knowledge of iOS security. Nobody said app store curation is perfect, just that it is necessary in addition to OS security. It’s not clear what you are trying

by zepto 5y ago
Weird move. By asking those questions of me, you have proven my point: You have shown that you don’t know anything about how many security flaws there are or how many are protected from by App Store curation, so your claims up to this p
