I still don't understand how blocking individual EU countries conforms to the EU single market.

Stupid fucking comment.

I was merely stating in simple words what Apple's product is and that their customers respond to exactly that. You choice of words shows that a loud fraction of their user base is a cult, though.

I think the post in itself is informational, many of the comments are not.

Post stays, comments get locked.

People buying Apple products want to be told by Apple what's allowed. The walled garden is core to Apple's product philosophy. It's not like everybody was expecting Apple to be super open and inclusive with anything and then be taken by surprise from the Fortnite situation. Even before they deprecated open standards because their own tech is supposedly evolving faster and are better integrated.

People wanting to play Fortnite on phones can just get a reasonably specced Android phone and install EGS next to Play Store with just a few taps.

Mass downvoting is bad for Lemmy as a whole, it makes the entire ecosystem hostile for participation

Nah, spreading lies is the bad thing, not downvoting them.

At least they disable the monetization features of Brave but making stupid Google Meet such a hard requirement to compromise of all ethics? WTF?

I'm so hyped about machine-generated output from copyrighted data being fine. "No, your honor. I did not pirate a copyrighted film. I distributed a machine-generated re-encoding of a film that is a close approximation but not not the original copyrighted film. As you can see, you honor, the copyright information was stripped, therefore it's fine."

Yeah, I think non-hybrid is a competitive disadvantage.

Still no air raids on Russian positions on Ukrainian land by so-called allies.

The cars are performance balanced, to offer competitive racing between varying types of machinery. The Aston Martin is non-hybrid, the Toyota is a hybrid, for example.

To combat teams always blaming Balance of Performance for each bad result, the WEC rules ban criticizing BoP (I think the team agree in principle) but a repeated problem is that the methodology used by the ACO and FIA (the two organizations in charge) is flawed and when Kamui said that both cars had the exact same lap times, what he's saying is that bad result wasn't the driver's fault or bad setup of one car but too harsh BoP.

The Hypercar BoP for this weekend was as following:

You can see that the Toyota was by far the heaviest and had the lowest max power.
