Apple is already a big, festering, malignant growth. The EU needs to jump in with both feet to let all that pus out.

Or maybe don't buy Apple products if you don't like them. Seems that would work fine and you would save some money too.

I like their products, without all the detours they force on me.

It's OK, we'll make it how it works through legislation.

Why? On what grounds? “Oh they are too powerful, I don’t like what they do! Let’s legislate!”

It’s honestly pathetic. You don’t like it you don’t buy it, period.

Nah, they got rich by selling their products while brainwashing their customers, literally turning them into cultists. And in the process they just raising and raising their prices. So in essence shitting on those who elevated them.

If anyone dares to speak up gets strong armed. Instead of giving ordinary people a chance to earn some extra income by creating a market for them, they squeeze them out. They force their fucking, non customisable, shitty ui/ux on people and they also do everything in order to hinder diy fixing of their products. They also skim the developers because they can. They create a soulless society in the process, and they just don't give a fuck. They just love their oppressing rules, so ft.

What kind of inherently evil shitfaced scum comes up with ideas like these? Well, screw these greedy bottom-feeders. Do they think that hiding behind a facade, a faceless corporate entity, means they can do whatever they want? Pull them out into the sunshine, let them burn.

You seem to have strong opinions about products you are not interested in buying.

I hate pomegranate juice. Should I try to ruin the business of pomegranate juice producers until they start producing orange juice? Or should I just buy orange juice from another business instead.

Should an orange juice producer be allowed to restrict which glasses you are allowed to use with their juice and charge glassware manufacturers a commission?
