  • I still feel you are not forced to buy apple, so therefore the idea of an IOS monopoly does not hold water because every apple user has the choice of android which has alternative app stores. Alternatively, another work around which concedes to both of our points is allowing iPhones and android devices to run other os’, meaning a new company does not need to have the hardware and existing apple users can switch if they want.



  • I dont believe you valve or gog takes hold any merit since they are entirely opt in, even on the steam deck it runs linux meaning you can get gog on it.

    For Apple and Alphabet, this lawsuit does not seem to be addressing the no other app stores argument, but the fact that they promote their own apps and services over competitors. I don’t personally have an issue with this and do not believe it needs to be a law that you cannot promote your own services over competition in your own appstore.

    My opinions are similar with hardware. Selling the iPhone gets you IOS with the apple appstore. If you want another appstore you shouldn’t be looking for the iPhone. If this feature was truly important to customers another phone company would have came along and created an os with this feature.












  • Your thinking is sonewhat correct. A group with firearms and the heart to use them would be a threat if the first response is to shoot. In most cases however the protest attempts to remain peaceful. Also, in many cases, only a small percentage have that conviction, but that small amount scares the police enough to keep them back.
