I'm sure the EU will love that bit of malicious compliance that apple have shown they will use to remove non-malware that they just don't approve of using the same mechanism...

INB4 trust fund babies and gormless capitalists go and ream every last fucking cent from the brand destroying it in the process before moving on to the next thing.

Indeed

And by that logic Russia should?

A: Leave Ukraine
B: Keep up it's expansionist war

This one should be easy.

I think we can all agree unprompted expansionist wars of aggression are bad, are you allowed to say that with me or are you within defenestration distance of a window?

If you are blink twice.

FreeCAD feels like it's where Blender was before version 2.8. The core functionality is there but the UI feels almost user hostile.

I mean if you pay attention most social media inundated with influencers and companies is basically:

"Buy this, no buy this, buy this instead, spend your money here!" It even leeches into everyday conversations outside of social media.

Pay attention to how often people talk about buying things and newly released products. Hell, I've caught myself contributing to it. It's kind of gross when you realize how steeped in consumerism nearly everything has become.

What I'm getting from this is that some monopoly busting is sorely needed.

Voice typing long messages is IMO faster than using a phone keyboard, even with gesture typing.

I was thinking the absolute worst case scenario is a bad faith use of the regulatory laws aimed at Meta but put on a firehose and aimed at federated servers who don't prostrate before them.

Things like partnering with copyright holders for automated DMCA floods for literally all images on the instance that have copyrighted content visible.

Importantly, posts hosted and visible on Meta's server will be subject to Facebook's content moderation rules, which means those policies will likely have a sweeping impact across the Fediverse.

Is it just me or does that sound like anything on instances hosted outside of meta's own that can be merely seen from theirs? I'm all for moderation, the stricter moderation against hate-speech is part of why I joined Beehaw. But if I'm reading that right (I hope I'm not), then it seems like they plan to call the shots on other instances as if they have any say in what everyone else does right out of the gate.

Maybe what's meant here is simply defederation of entire instances and banning of problematic users like any other instance does, ok. But it could also mean pressuring admins to enforce Meta's TOS on a case-by-case basis which feels like the start of EEE tactics.

Yeah. This cycle of advertisers infiltrating social media has to end.
