Americans hate upon Americans, never ever blaming Russia for information war.

I thought I didn't get a verification code from #disroot but it was in the spam folder of #gmail.

I've never seen a verification email sent to spam before. Do you think this an #anticompetition tactic from #google like they suppressed #protonmail in Google search for years?

Old news, from March, but new to me.

What's wrong with this picture?

As a Norwegian Single mom with disabilities it is safe to say (maby not 100% safe) that I am defeated by the big sharks once again, for almost two decades trying to fight the impossible online, without AI4G, more like AI4BAD, the ones who has been fetching my Ripe database account, ICANN account, my enterprise Microsoft account, the domains I collected, the patents I was supposed to deliver, fetched and high jacked. Now I am closing down my organisation as a result from this. #anticompetition

draft / xpost - apple watch being tied to iPhone is highly anti-competitive and apple should be ordered to enable apple watch to be able to be used by anyone, regardless of their phone choice.

"Buy an iPhone" is not an answer to "I cannot use Apple watch because I don't have an iPhone"

"Buy another watch" is not an answer either.

They make nice watches, but their phone operating system is missing a core feature of a secure operating system: multiple user profiles.

People should be able to choose the apple watch while choosing an operating system that has multiple user profiles, and iPhone lacks multiple user profiles.

"Then use Android, and get a different watch"

Ok I'll use a pixel phone, because they support multiple user profiles, a core feature of security/privacy, but why can't I, after 10 years of apple watch existing...why can't users of pixel phones buy an apple watch if they want. Either that, or at least bring multiple user profiles to iPhone.

People should be able to buy apple watch (or any watch) regardless of their phone choice.

I'm not a lawyer, so I'm not the person to craft an argument on this, but I would hope legal types could make legal arguments against apple requiring iPhone in order to use Apple watch.

@davidho That's part of capitalism, and helps *make* it perfect for those who play it for keeps - always a form of extracting profits

* from society, through overpriced #GovernmentDeals, excessive or harmful #Subsidies, #TaxCuts favouring the wealthy or #InsiderTrading,

* from competitors, through #AntiCompetition practices,

* from employees, through #UnionBusting or #NoPoaching agreements, or

* from customers, through #Enshittification, #PriceGouging, #PriceRigging or outright #Monopolies.

(1/2) Looking for other hashtags about this - apologies for the noise (I'll write some hashtags as hashtags in the hope someone has suggestions). So far I've seen: a lot of posts use #Newag; frequent mentions of #RightToRepair and #DRM. Some have #AntiRepair, #AntiCompetition #Sabotage. One has #IndustrialSabotageInPoland. This has been called #NewagGate and #TrainGate (but these two don't have many posts (yet?)). #Ransomware was used but not #trainsomware (it's a good one, @alsorew!).

Just got a SMS from Umobile saying voice services will be terminated, unless I buy one of their 'approved' 5G phones.

Just the latest bullshit in Malaysia's telco/mobile industry, where only phones from manufacturers who made 'arrangements' with the telcos can use 5G.

And now Samsung is remotely disabling phones if you bought it from another country.

This is not #SelfRepair - this is just a shitty #figleaf excuse and a serious infringement on the #Privacy and #DataProtection of #Consumers and so hard #AntiCompetition that I hope @EU_Commission and @kartellamt@social.bund.de will force #Apple to provide free access to the tools without any need for #InternetAccess or any #DataCollection!

Fricken #BellCanada and #Rogers #anticompetition #internet in #Canada. Step up #CRTC.

I just went to set up #TekSavvy for my new apartment and apparently the #FiberOptic line going into the building is blocked for #IndepententServiceProviders. I've been with TekSavvy for probably close to 20 years (National Capital Freenet before that).

Especially ridiculous that they can do this going into an #AffordableHousing building and charge tenants whatever ridiculous inflated rates they want.

And yes, #Apple's #AntiRepair should be illegal simply for being #AntiCompetition and an extra #Asshole Move designed to create 100% avoidable #eWaste for their corporate #Profit.

I found the latest season of CANADALAND Commons on monopolies in Canada incredibly informative. I learned a lot. While the question remains though: what are we going to do about it.

In any case, the entire season is phenomenal and I recommend you listen to all of it. But the last episode sums it up nicely if that’s all you have time (or energy) for.
