  1. They are very much like Microsoft in that respect, feeding off sloth and idiocy of their habituated users. It's very much correct that the fault is not Apple's or any other "evil company"'s, it's their stupid customers' (and you should never become one for this simple reason).

  2. How about just stopping paying for their crappy service? Isn't that "cancel" enough? Do you think they are going to risk pursuuing your "breach of contract" legally (and getting defeated in court) if it is some trivial subscription amount? Especially if there are tons of users affected by their shit policy who would readily attest as witness in court against their shady practices?

  5.  @admiralkaede  next you are going to tell us politicians should be held personally responsible for the bullshit they produce

  6.  @admiralkaede  I suspect there would be no politicians then. Mafia bosses with their own protection from liability would directly take over.

  7.  @Weathernerd27  The government is actually causing all this shit, making companies paranoid about getting sued.

  8. @@kanabanakamura864 No, it's not bad, it would actually be very healthy to the world at large. What I'm seeing right now in my consulting is medium/big IT service providers essentially surrendering to Microsoft. Soon Microsoft and the thugs behind it will be able to turn off the lights anywhere in the (Western) world (of course China has their own equivalent companies). Too much decision power is being concentrated in very few hands - out of sheer ignorance and laziness combined with bribery - and historically it's never led to any improvement of fate of their victims (I mean, customers).

  11.  @TehRubberMoose  Of course, the L in URL stands for "locator". But applications are built by transmitting data to and from addresses, in specific ways. It does not matter whether an API is "official" or not, if you are piggy-backing on an "unofficial" (i.e. unpublished) API that the vendor developed to be consumed by their own clients (apps), then all you are still using their API. Only without documentation and without permission, which is kind of the whole point here. Denying that you are using their API is like reverse-engineering someone's code, recompiling it, and claiming it as your own and not a violation of copyright. In any case, a court will decide how much abuse the vendor suffered, it's not a simple matter of claiming "but the browser can also invoke this URL, bro" because the browser is explicitly permitted by the vendor (and many URLs require prior authentication, even in the browser). When push comes to shove, Google will just close down their API to non-authenticated clients, and tell the other cilents to gtfo and stop circumventing their access protections.

  12. Sounds like the marketing people at Synlogy discovered a reliable way of how to get out of business permanently. I bet the CEO was also clued in on their secret recipe. Enjoy your golden parachute woo!

  13. I have a better idea, just close the companies immediately so that dumbasses like yourself have nowhere to buy their crap.. or have to buy from small scalpers at 10x cost. How's that?

  17. That's exactly the desired reaction here, stop buying shit, start working like a Chinese slave to produce shit. The majority of Americans voted for it.

  18.  @Llortnerof So you want another full-screen content blocker that refers to EU laws? Which everyone will blindly click away to give their "consent"? Because it is all which these moronic lawyers have achieved thus far. Or maybe you want mandatory identification for all Internet browsing? The end of anonymity is what BOTH the corporations AND EU lawyers are really keen to see becoming real because it offers them unsurpassed opportunities for censorship and blackmail. Of course "only for your safety and protection", as usual.

  20. Actually there is a good chance are good pals of the regulated company and bribed more directly than just through their stock ownership. Another possibility is that the bribed company can blackmail government through other channels (e.g. you fine us, then we will raise fees for all those sweet spy-on-your-citizen surveillance projects you as the government run in our cloud).

  21. Do you remember the short 3-year episode called the pandemic? It was built on exactly this same argument, to great applause of "the public". I can still very well remember the moment in Germany when people were seriously considering it ethically ok to criminally blame someone for someone else's death if that "perpertrator" was not wearing (provably useless) face fask. Mind boggles at the amount of injustice, stupidity, and cruelty that can result from following this chain of "greater good reasoning". This is how whole dictatorships have been historically established and reinforced.

  25. The problem is there is no labor willing to perform the work that needs to be performed. Hence the manufacturers will not get "reestablished" unless you change labor laws and import slaves from abroad. But as we know Trump is very against imported labor, so where does that leave us?

  27. The great danger to humanity is that the big IT companies are trying to push their phones (and silly operating systems) as a means for centralized access control to real resources (the buzzword is AAA - authentication, authorization, administration). In that sense these devices become much like money, a way to deprave you from the right to transact with other people. So it is no big surprise that they are aggressively pushing this crap on everyone around the world because they draw their power (including power over governments) from them. The only reaction a normal person can do is essentially to reject such attempts whenever possible and boycott the main vendors.

  28. Let's just agree there will be less of everything for everyone, except the people with guns. We used to call that recession and war. Nowadays we call it making the world a greener place.

  29. It is not just corporate greed, it is also largely political forces trying to force big corporations to behave as they want them to, in hope of receiving kickbacks for non-compliance. The politicians who pretend to be representing their voters, but in fact represent their own pockets.

  32.  @MrSloika  When you drop ship a product, by definition, the product is already waiting to be dropshipped from the warehouse. It is not like you're paying its production up-front, companies carry inventory - whether they do it directly or through intermediaries who do it for them.

  36. Apple's business model has always been the same. Convince dumb people that they're not dumb, just in fact very special and entitled to better treatment than the competitors are willing to offer. Having achieved that, convert them into fanbois, and milk them of as much money as possible.

  39. If you really insist, they can put a stupid popup asking for your consent or just forbid anonymous browsing altogether just like Twitter/Facebook/Instagram whatever crap does. But hey, that popup is already running some Javascript code, so the anal-retentive EU lawyers would probably object... No wait, they already require such popups. So maybe let's try an alternative solution #2: do not listen to moron lawyers from the EU.

  40. Bwahaha, just wait till all the "authorization to use your own stuff" bullshit is tightly integrated in hardware and your operating system (Windows 11, "Trusted" Computing I'm looking at you). And you know why this is happening? Well, mostly because of all the lazy and stupid sheep who let it be done to them... Has been going on for decades now btw.

  41.  @Glitter_H_Hoof  It is actually very related. All these illiberal laws are the result of competition between US and Chinese government thugs trying to set up a revolt in the "enemy" country (and to protect themselves from such).

  43.  @MaryJohanna  Well, do you think they own global logistics and distribution centers to source their wares from? The issue is not who delivers to your door, the issue is who does the entire supply chain.

  45. The downside is you may end up kidnapped or assassinated, but that's generally a concern for rich people; and that's what hired security is for (until of course your hired thugs put the bullet through your head, which also happens from time to time).

  47. The funny thing is that all it took one dumb card man (well with a few advisors) to make the whole house of cards collapse. I predict he is going to use his only trump next, provoking WW3 hoping to win it because of its still biggest military, Adolf-style economic solution (and it will probably turn out for everyone associated with him just like it turned for Adolf's friends).

  48. Guess where VW is moving their production because of high energy prices in Germany (it's not the US).

  49. The problem is that companies are greedy and the consumers are dumb and lazy. Nothing much changed here, except the government now likes to tell you it's "ok" to be dumb and lazy.
