More accurate than that shitty one from this morning

Mockingbirds are the worst birds. They threaten my dog every year with swooping/pecking

I’m just glad they don’t do it at 4am at night. They’d need to stop by the ATM machine if they did.

I honestly don’t know what enforcement actions would be taken, but I do think a company like Canonical could be held liable for anything seen as defying such new laws. Maybe you’re right. That would make me happy if you are.

But malicious compliance is absolutely fighting the laws. Plenty of legal ways to be shitty. Turns out I understood you perfectly because you’ve just stated the exact point again which I specifically was disagreeing with. That apple is not fighting the laws. Even if we ignore the malicious compliance you can be sure they’ve spend hundreds of billions over the years trying to stop laws or enforcement of laws that protect apple customers from apple. (No one is saying Google isn’t doing all of this too btw)

Is that the example you want Apple to follow?

I gotta say you don’t seem the most informed on this topic. Are you not aware that nearly every issue people have with Google, outside of ad/privacy concerns, is something they copied from apple? Removal of ports, reducing repairability, etc. Also right now Google is effectively looking to kill third party app stores. Which apple did from the start. In fact when the EU passed a law requiring apple to allow third party app stores, they complied maliciously as fuck. They made it so expensive to do so that no developer could publish an app outside the apple store without literally losing money even if the app was free, they still owe a steep fee, every year iirc.

Ah yes Ubuntu, basically the same as windows.

at least they’re playing ball instead of forceful resistance

Uh what the fuck? In every case they’ve gotten better at all a law has absolutely been required to force them. But typically they don’t get better because typically with every new law they comply as maliciously as humanly possible.

That makes sense. I’ve always thought she’s some kind of demonoid alien but who knows.

Why would they exactly? Adding an age field would not likely have any impact on a bootloader. Also I’m not really sure what you reactionaries are thinking will happen. That laws will get passed but Linux as a whole will just refuse to follow the laws? It’s a very incomplete thought process you all are stuck in. If the laws get passed, the entire Linux community is not just going to be able to ignore them.

She is such a disgusting person.

It was so specific lol

So many people think that it’s some big gotcha that “black and white aren’t colors” but that’s not how language works. Color often refers to black or white. Try sticking to this gotcha at the paint store and see how much it’s appreciated.

I’m so curious where this image came from. Is it a standardized test? What are they actually trying to test?

You… Composted a towel?

Do tankies ever do anything else?

Thank you very much aziz, much better

I feel like in that case laws would suddenly exist for billionaires again, for just that case. “You defrauded the government!!”

Well I’m truly not trying to argue with you I’m just saying how I read it and I presume from the other comments how they read it too.

The question wasn’t a problem. The repeated implications that it’s too many is obviously what annoyed people.

Fair enough, but not everyone is your kid. Needing to have things plugged in at once shouldn’t need defending. I would prefer to leave things plugged in if I can. USB supports that, so why wouldn’t I?

The thing is though, every situation is different. I’m glad the designers of USB did not think like you do. Having the ability to use a lot of devices might be rare but it’s definitely been needed before, whether or not others can imagine it.
