Apple just claimed an exception. It’s still up to the EU to determine whether it is actually exempt or not.

Disclaimer: I only sort of understand the mechanics of bikes

I think this would be the equivalent of using a bike on a very high gear. Look at the two gears (the one attached to the pedals and the one attached to the rear wheel) and the chain, and think about what would happen if you rotated the pedals one full rotation. The wheel would rotate far more than once.

So I think the joke is that the rider has superhuman strength and they want to bike very fast

I would like to see a connection to PeerTube. I’m not exactly sure how it works but it might work here

I like the increase in competition, but my concern is for the 90+% of users who really don’t know what they’re doing. Can we be sure that all these alternative app stores will properly enforce security through their apps? At least the iOS app store and Google Play have some standards regarding apps that are actual malware, but could we trust every company to do this?

The “anti-consumer” approach of restricting apps that violate standards may very well be the best one for most people. I support the DMA and the right to sideload but I’m concerned about the impact it will have. Maybe we’ll go back to the early 2000s days of PC malware.

I’m glad to have moved from a country where taxes and (high) expected tips are on top of the price, to a country where tax is included in the price and tips are usually not expected. It makes a surprising difference in affordability when you can actually buy a €5 item with €5.

As soon as companies started asking for tips at self check-out, it became obvious that it’s just a way of trying to underpay their staff and shift that responsibility on the customer.
