  • Apple loses bid to stop UK investigation over cloud gaming and browsers in reversal

    Jump

  • This might be naive me, but companies should be allowed to defend themselves in an investigation but should have no rights whatsoever to prevent one from occuring. If they fight the mere start of an investigation that hard, this sure is a "where there's smoke there's fire ' situation.

  • Do you have children?

  • Microsoft will let users uninstall Edge, Bing, and disable ads on Windows 11 as it complies with the Digital Markets Act

  • Erm... Larger by land mass? Yes. Larger by GDP? No. Larger by number of inhabitants? No. Larger by amount of vastly different cultures that somehow get stuff like this done whole very decidedly not being a hive mind? Also no.

  • Hey, 'Muricans, how come we need to pressure every company into compliance for you?

  • YSK: Pro Publica has a tool that lets you request documentation of why your health insurer denied your claim

    Jump

  • That's a message for the Brits then. As long as the USA are a almost daily reminder as to why completely private healthcare is a really bad idea, mist countries that have public healtcare will probably be very hesitant to even discuss shit like that.

    Yet, ideas being obviously and utterly stupid hasn't stopped the Brits very often in the past, has it?

  • YouTube's ‘War’ on Adblockers Shows How Google Controls the Internet

    Jump

  • As much as I'm against Google: why are the the bad guys in this specific instance? They are in many other instances, absolutely. But here, they dare to block a service that legitimately costs a ton of money from being used without them making anything in return. That's not the usual evil corp BS they pull. That's rather reasonable if you ask me. Let's not exhaust ourselves in that and focus on the real Bullshit they try to pull like their web manifest ad nightmare!

  • You can just use Piped. That way, your account data appears nowhere. Just a server querying Googles YouTube API.

  • Peertube appears to have doubled their MAU

    Jump

  • In my eyes, Piped and such are the ideal solution, not peertube. Not, because peertube is bad, but because with using Piped, you can have your videos and you can have them on a FOSS surface, but leave the nasty tasks like paying for enough storage to host all those videos to the data guzzlers who get denied their return. Some real Robin hood shit right there.

  • Israel is a stateJudaism is a religion

    If one disagrees or opposes one, they don't oppose the other. I know that Israel has managed to spin the narrative that Israel and Judaism are the same and everyone opposing the state is basically the same kind of hateful asshole Adolf was, but that's just not true. We here in Germany have struggled a long time with that for obvious reasons. You couldn't call out Israel for doing wrong shit without being called a Nazi. In that past that is. What you've seen isn't "Antisemitism". It's opposition to some of the bullshit Israel is pulling that is the very same kind of bullshit Jews have been subjected to in the past. Or tell me: What's the difference between a Ghetto in 1700s Germany and the Gaza Strip? Correct, the 1700s Ghetto had less travel restrictions.

    There is a great push in Israel to be proud of the history of unjust oppression and prosecution Jews have suffered for centuries and how awful being a victim of that was. There is this sense that together, as a nation, they finally have the means to safeguard themselves against shit like that. Yet, that very same nation pulls a swift 180 when it comes to palestinians. Pushing them back into Ghettos, depriving them of any form of economical way out, depriving them of means to get their own electricity, their own water. Paying them pittances for their jobs, restricting travel for them whenever possible. Now, as soon as those people act hostile (go figure), the "state of the oppressed" Israel responds with the military. "A little bombardment will keep them in check, right? How dare they hate us?!"

    If the message all the Shoa museums, all the graveyards for the people killed in atrocities was really understood, neither the "West Bank" nor the "Gaza Strip" could exist without Israelites acting up against them.

    Rant over.

  • Which is a scandal. In the truest meaning of the word. The rainbow press may have diluted the meaning, but still

  • I don't use iOS, so your mileage may vary. The android App works fine.

  • Here in Germany, we once had a hardware store called "Praktiker" which advertised their regular 20%-Off-sales with the slogan "20% on everything except pet food" (the joke was that they didn't sell pet food).

    We once needed a very specific type of screw for an old Fender Amp and went to Praktiker when they didn't have their sale on, so we decided to come back when they resumed the sale again, which they did regularly. When we came back to the store, the screw would have been more expensive than before even with the "20% off" (which was a fucking lie). This opened my eyes to all black-friday-prime-day-whatever-day-sales from then on.
