Tearing down monopolies is an inherent good independent of the fact that the entire industry should be torn down with them. Be happy the court is willing to exercise their power to break monopolies at all. Doing so here normalizes doing it elsewhere

Slazers’ point that is is pocket change to apple however is an excellent point. If it forces compliance then it’s still a win. We’ll see what happens

Hey, new here. What’s going on?

Your plan is sound. Just make sure whatever you use as a brace underneath doesn’t naturally warp in the same direction

Burdening Canadians who try to trade with enemy nations is the point. It has to hurt for people to get off their ass and do the right thing by divesting from the US completely. Export taxes would miss the majority of international commerce with the US, which would hamper the effectiveness significantly. It doesn’t do anything unless it’s impossible to avoid for anyone still willing to touch the US

Trump is definitely stupid enough to do it without understanding anything. The only question is whether someone with an actual brain can get to him before he tweets about it. Because the second he says it publicly, his narcissistic ego will only allow him to double down regardless of what it does to the US or him personally. Ideally someone would float the idea to him on air

Damn that’s dark.

Yah, nope. Still completely fucking lost. You suck at writing my dude. Maybe take a class? Idk, but your teachers failed you hard. I said we because I’m not op supergenius.

Yup. That one’s on me. I should have been more specific. I asked for an example of Nazis with power in Ukraine and you gave it to me.

Let me try again, what Nazis, specifically named, are in power today? Because what you linked mentioned one politician who is still active today who is vaguely linked to the OUN and it didn’t even tell me what that link was. Similarly “Rising antisemitism” and “rising nationalism” are meaningless in this day and age. I need you to show me what you mean when you say those things. I asked for evidence, not more claims.

That depends. Name another Nazi brigade. I’ve literally only ever heard Azov when people call Ukrainians Nazis. Where are the rest? What are there names? One brigade does not a political problem make. So where are the rest of the Nazis? What is their influence in government? What laws are they pushing? What do they control? Where are the Nazis?

No. Propagandist is.

No one knowing what you’re saying is a problem, but that’s a you problem. Everyone who reads what you wrote is confused because what you’re saying sounds like the ravings of a lunatic. No one knows what you’re talking about. We’ve never heard of these events you’re alluding to. So either show proof of them or we’re going to write you off as another propaganda shill

But you knew all of this because it’s 2025 and no one on lemmy doesn’t understand how the Internet works. Which means you’re lying for a purpose. You’re a propagandist.

Have the police attempted to justify their actions?

They’re admitting that now dead people did bad things a long time ago. Not exactly impressive

I’d rather live in a world where the concept of “copyright” doesn’t exist at all. Unfortunately we don’t live in that world and art can be exchanged for money. As such, let’s stick to trying to keep people from starving rather than pretending this is fine because the concept of capitalism is inherently broken, mkay?

Fear of the “next guy” is the only reason la’orang is still alive. All of this is the fault of people gearing “what’s next”. The number of evil people on earth is finite. Even if the next one is worse, there’s only one way forward. So just take the win. The number of evil is about to drop by one

When you can hypnotize people into doing your will, you gotta dream bigger. Don’t get yourself a maid. Get yourself a country and the maids will come to you

Yup. Released in 97’ in the US. Not sure why you felt this needed to be added, but yes. You have stated several true facts.

There are Genz who are older than the DVD. I’m certain that the majority of them would know what a VCR is. Unless they were very rich, they still watched movies on tape when they were little. That’s before we talk about how the VCR//DVD combo unit was the most popular option well into the DVD life cycle because most people didn’t want to re-buy what they already had on tape. VCR didn’t really die until Blu-ray kicked it off the combo unit with the DVD which wasn’t until like 2007. Some of them were in middle school by then

And Vermonters. It’s also a fuck you to the state that hates Trump the most.

Both

I mean, I get the idea that it’s easier to do this sort of thing at scale with this technology, but there are already entire sophisticated corporations overseas dedicated solely to phishing at scale already using ultra cheap labor so like … Is anything really going to change other than those scam companies going out of business due to grassroots competition? I don’t really see how this changes anything other than the labor budget of phishing companies.
