>Apple asserted that it is entitled to a verdict in its favor since the evidence does not "tend to exclude" the possibility that Apple acted in a manner consistent with its lawful business interests.
Protection of consumers is the common ground.
That's the whole issue - it is a general purpose computing device but Apple is trying to prevent users from using it as such for their selfish reasons.

Not only is that anticompetitive, it's also dangerous (state actors can and do apply pressure on them to censor dissenting apps as Apple is the the single gatekeeper) and wasteful (you can't easily repurchase older unsupported devices due to the artificial limits inserted by Apple in what they can boot).
See, that's the problem, it's always "what we hear."

We trust everything published as matter of fact. Why do we do this? We indirectly become echoes and pawns of whatever is strung around us. We shouldn't say something is factual based on reporting as if it were equivalent to events witnessed.

How do we overcome this discrepancy as a species? It seems like a huge bug.

I don't suppose there's such a thing as an open push notification service that could work on iOS, Android, and security-focused mobile OSes such as GrapheneOS, is there? Lacking such an ability are websockets or polling the only options for push-like notifications on an OS like Graphene?

So the meat you eat does not come from animals that suffer? They all live happy lives that they are happy to have cut short so they can be slaughtered for your dinner table?

I doubt it.

Curious to find out more about where you might be coming from, I took a look through some of your past comments. One in particular caught my eye:

> "I don't know how people can do that, slaughter an animal they've raised themselves."

To me this suggests that do have compassion for animals. This doesn't surprise me, because virtually everyone does. However, having compassion for animals just doesn't sit nicely with eating them, so we come up with reasons to justify that illogical behaviour of ours. Otherwise we would not be able to live with ourselves.

I am sure you do eat less meat than many people. But I bet that you would eat a lot less again if you had to personally slaughter all the animals you eat. Especially given how easy it is to not eat animals at all.

And in response to your last question, I think it's mainly just because it tastes good. Vegan meats and cheeses could quite reasonably be called something else, and I would still happily eat them. Though having them named as they are does make them more discoverable. I can see why that might make you annoyed if you are in the business of making and selling dairy cheese, and you see the rise of vegan alternatives as a threat to your business.

With all the anger you seem to have towards veganism I sense you may be closer to an awakening that most. Perhaps soon you will be making delicious vegan cheeses yourself :)

Apple charged over 'anti-competitive' app policies
Would you say televisions and electricity are also comparable for the same reason?
They do rhyme
Let's take a step and ponder wouldn't you find it bizarre to have this sequence of events:

1. Apple creates iPod, and iTunes serves as its music store.

2. Apple creates iPhone, which has an iPod app.

3. Apple introduces App Store so other apps can be used on the iPhone.

4. iPod (Apple Music) competitors emerge.

5. EU says "that's it, Apple can't have iPod anymore on the phone unless iPod (Apple Music) becomes a separate company".

No one (successfully) sued Apple for anti-competitive practices on iPod. Ergo if the iPhone never had an App Store, they'd be allowed to have 100% of the revenue of iTunes, and ban competitors out completely.

By opening the iPhone platform to third parties, EU sees them as another type of entity completely. In effect the EU penalizes the creation of market places, because once you're market place, you lose control over your own products to the government.

I didn't know about that, thanks for the link! I do agree with some of their points though: transparency in advertising and how algorithms pick content for users, as well as facilitating disinformation/misinformation research would be (in my mind) a pretty big win these days.

I'll second EFF here though, they're fantastic.

I'm not sure if this is 100% accurate, but in some TV shows/movies I've watched, the Japanese are portrayed to be pretty tolerant/non-judgemental of people who work in the adult entertainment world.

EU accuses Apple of competition law breach following Spotify antitrust complaint
They were very accurate about the following:

(A) It is only about Music (other cases exists in parallel). (B) They declared that the 30% market share of their devices has a practical vendor-lock-in (so a monopoly without choice there). (C) Apple competes with other Music vendors and cut them by 30% AND blocking them from directly accessing the user AND that they abstract the user away from the App (leaving the other app zero information while they have a monopoly on information)
Make sure you don’t pay quite enough for the rapidly increasing cost of housing in the area and make them feel dependent on your employer-provided healthcare. Then they’ll buckle down and deal with it for the sake of some illusory stability.
Apple have been in the music business much longer than Spotify.
Searching for "Puranic Time and the Archaeological Record" I got http://veda.krishna.com/encyclopedia/purantime.htm that says:

> Human-like footprints have been found in the Carboniferous of North America (Burroughs 1938), the Jurassic of Central Asia (Moscow News 1983, no.4, p. 10), and the Pliocene of Africa (M. Leakey 1979). Shoe prints have been reported from the Cambrian (Meister 1968) and the Triassic (Ballou 1922).

The Carboniferous period was like 300 million years ago, so it's not a small increment of the age of humanity, or it's a totally irrelevant sentence in the middle of the discussion. Color me skeptical.

How is hackernews in any way unfriendly to Apple?

Anything involving Apple Silicon goes straight to the top of the frontpage, comments are full of people absolutely gushing over just about anything - I personally don't really care other than that I find it subtly funny the number of times I see people saying "Wow my new M1 Mac is so much faster than [Different Mac that's almost a decade old, but I'm either not used to thinking about Apple products in terms of their internals, or I'm forgetting the passage of time]"

That’s not really the analogous situation. More like Samsung takes a 30% cut on apps on its Tizen platform. Surely you’d just change TVs no? Or not buy it to begin with?
>I'm not entirely sure I want Chrome anywhere near my phone

There are more browsers that use Chromium engine and nobody forces you to install Google version. I understand the potential issue of a Chrome dominance but Apple could listen for actual developers want and implement those features then you will no longer be forced to use an inferior browser.
For small installations or a single host, plain old virsh is probably what you are looking for. Point it to an iso and you're good to go. Not sure if it does any post install provisioning, but that's what kickstart and ansible is for.

Larger virtualization installations will already have a management layer, something like oVirt or vSphere, that has similar tools available.

> No one (successfully) sued Apple for anti-competitive practices on iPod

Because they never had the market share and power in the music market that they have now on the mobile market that's why. You kind of answered why they are getting sued now yourself.
This comment may get too meta, but technically everything we do, ever, is a performance hack.
Another reason I wish iOS devices, and some other computing devices, were not so locked down: preserving our environment and resources.

The hand-wavy argument is, perhaps these business models are legal, but I don't feel our social and environmental progress is at a point where we can afford to have companies create "disposable" devices - "disposable" in the "long-term" of course, I understand iOS devices for example are supported quite well compared to average. And there is the problem for me, I don't believe "better than average" should be a valid defense for this practice. Yes, companies are entitled to end support of their software, leaving vulnerabilities in browsers or the OS, but on a locked down device, that can drastically alter its usefulness and its lifetime. Allowing customers who bought a device to repurpose it by installing their software of choice should be a possibility. A quick aside, I (sort of) get Apple's 7-day limit on side-loading iOS apps with a free Apple developer account, but my gosh does that feel petty and creates a sad barrier for creating fun little apps for a small group of friends.

And this issue has some subtlety I think. More than my (naive?) arguments capture I'm sure. One aspect is I don't know if these ideas would preclude the security model on iOS, which I very much enjoy, to be fair. I understand security, flexibility and a great user experience can be hard to integrate together, especially in an intuitive matter, but I wish Apple - and others - would try to find other creative solutions to some of these problems and trade-offs.

Another aspect is where to draw the "general computing device" line which would compel a manufacturer to have, somehow, a "long-term open device". Perhaps this would backfire and Apple would start trying to make a "non-general" computing device to avoid this sort of rule.
I just wish we could have it all of course: a great security model, ease of use but the flexibility to use hardware as we wish 10 years down the line. Hopefully people working at all these companies want this too, and I can keep dreaming.
Apparently it's impossible to hold a nuanced position.
Hah, I’d rather just host my own infrastructure if they’ll start charging for hosting… oh wait…
A device having the capacity in raw computing power to be a general purpose computing device does not make it one. Nor does you wanting it to beone.

I'm growing really frustrated with the attempts to force Apple via law to turn my 0 maintenance iPhone into another computer I've got to bloody manage.

That fits for me. I got two mechanical keyboards at the same time. One mirrors the Microsoft Ergo: cloud nine. The other is unique in the layout: ergodox ez. On this, my typing speed dropped to a third of normal. With the cloud nine, i typed at full speed minute one. The twice as expensive ergodox ez sits in my closet.
Instead of seeing as high returns, you can also look at it as money losing value due to excessive printing of last year.
There are all sorts of interesting facts you can pull out of this, like how if you missed the top 10 best days in the market from 1999-2019, your return was cut in half. If you missed the top 20 best days, you actually lost money: https://www.fool.com/investing/2019/04/11/what-happens-when-...

Basically never mistake annualized return over a long period of time for your expected return in a given year (or day, etc). There will be some really really good years, and a few really really bad years. If something grows consistently with low variance over a long period of time, that's a red flag! It's likely to be a "picking up pennies in front of a steamroller" type trade.
Wow, so glad to be a consumer of products that depend on collaboration between competitors to even basically work. This just smacks of effective trade rules.
Not familiar with the Roku ecosystem, but is it possible to sideload apps? On Android there are native YouTube player apps like NewPipe (which reverse engineer the APIs and work without any of the consent prompts and nagging UI), and one whose name escapes me, which is a pretty usable client to YouTube, based around the web interface (used sometimes on fire stick etc.)

I guess the underlying issue is the reliance on these large platforms (like YouTube etc), and how they can use access to their walled garden platform as a way to coerce independent commercial negotiations.

That has a simple answer: What banks / credit card companies take. Banks have to run infrastructure to transfer money and App Store have to run infrastructure for certain services like distribution, quality filtering, etc.

Why is it simple: Banks have settled this over (maybe) 100 years and have a (idealistically seen) competitive environment.

Do Google's demands have any merit or are they merely self-serving? The article makes mention of wanting Roku to upgrade hardware... but to support what: 8K video? Smoother 4K? I can see a point on both sides: Roku wants to keep their hardware affordable and YouTube doesn't want inexpensive hardware to negatively affect the experience of consuming higher (video) quality YouTube content. Without an knowing the details of the disagreement I have to conclude they are both in the wrong.

Apple holds a gigantic market in their grasp and by controlling it so tightly and by forcing everyone to use their billing, they give the customers what they want.

If iOS becomes the android wild west it'll kill the entire selling point of the iPhone.

To me, the iPhone is the equivalent of buying a games console instead of a gaming PC. Less flexibility, less to worry about.

Why are people buying this ? Some money laundering thing going on ?
It starts to when you ask yourself: Where else are people meant to store money? Since interest rates and bond rates were at historical lows. So you have people who are looking at 10% YOY returns on one hand and 0.2%/2% on the other and making the rational decision.

Does this make stocks overinflated? Yes. Is it going to suddenly pop? Unlikely, since the conditions that caused it won't suddenly change (e.g. certain bonds have ticked up 1%~ but taken months).
