they still could play nice and show some good will. they have been behaving awful recently

he is living in dementia. he literally mentioned the plot of escape from alcatraz. the movie had just recently aired in Florida.

what is being argued about here is forbidding protests by non citizens no matter their political stance. it has nothing to do with the tolerance paradox

“we should adopt far right laws before the far right has the chance to do so”

I’m so tired of the EPP. Also I wish these outlets where better at reporting anything related to the EU. do know there are parties like there are parties in the US? all this shit comes from the EPP.

even russians still talk about the KGB when refer to any kind of Russian intelligence agency.

they have only survived so far because hype and government money. they have never been profitable. the stock could halve again and it would still be overvalued

Remember “We send the EU £350 million a week, let’s fund our NHS instead” ??

they are a disgrace.

this is not vandalism. it is protest

also I don’t think they offer e2e encryption for what the UK demanded.

afaik they provide e2ee for messages and mail but not photos or drive, which apple did encrypt e2e when ADP was enabled.

the current law does not allow them to no comply. they can go to court, but they would be required to comply in the meantime.

unfortunately the UK law says not complying is a criminal offense, not just an administrative un compliance. so apple employees would be liable to criminal charges.

this is very bad but it’s the draconian UK laws the problem here.

I’m conflicted on what would have been the best course of action.

if they would have fought this (in private) I assume people would assume they were complying. so the only option would have been to break UK law and fight it publicly. I am not sure that was feasible.

but this also just creates a precedent for other countries push apple to do the same

even github was not available for many people.

Did you bother checking? You seem very eager for them to STFU.

Just the first one in the list is Rabbi Rachel Barenblat who has been vocal regarding the atrocities Palestine has been suffering. Many others are part of jewish voice for peace. https://www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org/rabbinical-council/

The whole list is in https://www.xouthate.org in case there is a little chance you actually care.

he is at least a very dumb person if he believes Trump sides against bigtech

do you know of alternative? I wanted to leave them because of this but found they most other options were not as close as good.

I honestly think the issue is that these people want a SmartTV but are annoyed about its downsides. When I bought my current TV I disabled the smartOS but ended up enabling it back because I did find value on its features.

I think the complaints are not well articulated. They do want the smart TV they just want good ones that dont spy on them or show ads.

smart TVs mostly can be used as a dumb TV if you reject the terms of services when you set it up. I understand they are annoying, but people making such a big fuzz about them are clearly just fabricating drama.

Thank you. I’ll give it a try

honestly. why did you even bother writing this answer? if you think my question is dumb just ignore it.
