A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Apple users will accept anything Apple does to them. In their eyes, Apple can do no wrong. They will defend this all the mental hoops they have available.
I'd like to see Apple hurt, but somehow, I want to see its users hurt even more. They willingly buy these products and even defend them. Things should just get so bad that even the most devout Apple user questions Apple. No idea how bad it has to get, but I'd be very curious to find out.

I run GrapheneOS. I'm also not a dick about it.
The problem is that Apple doesn't accept the responsibility. it's the DMA that's doing this to their customers, not Apple. By vilifying the DMA as harmful to privacy and security, Apple gets to make themselves out to be the good guy. When things get worse, Apple can just blame the DMA again.
The DMA was written in good faith. Apple is acting in bad faith. And yes, their customers are too simple minded to think for themselves, which is exactly why Apple can say stuff like "DMA bad" and have millions of people agree after sabotaging the implementation. It's not a surprise the EU wants to curtail that (we'll see if that still stays the case after the elections, when the Apple voters show up at the urns).
