lol, did you not expect them to be as shitty as possible about this? It’s ridiculous that everyone is all, “oh, we’re so shocked they’re doing this! How dare they! Boo hoo!” they do not fucking care.

wtf, did you think you all won and the fight was over? Hahahaha! Apple are assholes, and they are far from done fighting.

Ridiculous? Of course this is how people should react. If this is NOT the reaction then this kind of shit would be done even more.

I didn’t say people shouldn’t be upset. I just don’t see why anyone is still surprised.

I'm not upset or surprised.

But I do believe Apple has failed to comply with the law, and they either need to start complying or else I'd like to see the EU apply the maximum penalty. Which, by the way, is to split Apple into multiple companies.

Being split up has happened before and it generally doesn't go well for anyone - it'd be a lot better (including for Apple) if they just complied with the law and stopped being so anti-competitive... but ultimately I'm fine with either outcome.

I'm definitely not ok with things continuing as they are right now... but that's not going to happen so I'm not putting any energy into that.
