Don’t use it (if you don’t wanna). Let others live (let others use it if they want to).

Always a good throw in to promote Firefox and adblockers. 😎

Exactly. Don’t use it, let others live.

But that stinks of communism, doesn’t it… 😄

Not every country has 280 million people. Roughly calculated, judging by income, around 15% can afford an iPhone, and that translates to 40 million potential phones. Let’s see how Apple and Giigle will react.

Funny guy - they’re gonna fire you last. 😁

Because I was obviously unaware of the idiocy of the US justice system, and naively gave them the benefit of the doubt.

Under normal circumstances, it’d take Google about 3 years to stall the process of opening.

This will achieve nothing, and it would’ve been better for US consumers if my bold assumption had been correct.

Yeah, makes no sense - could it be that the poster isn’t native speaker and actually meant: “in the next three years”, implying that the criteria must be met within that timeframe…

That’s true. 2 years ago, I come by my friend’s house for a drink, and his kid is watching cartoons on YT. My friend’s been a gamer for +20 years. Spent most of his life around PC. All of a sudden, I hear ads.

What’s that? What? What’s with the ads? Oh that, that’s YT.

I know it is, but what’s with the ads? Well, they have ads. I know they do, but why do you have them…

Installed adblocker for him, he’s looking at it in shock. I’m looking at him shocked…

People have no idea, what we take for granted. 😅

Your battery’s still short of 4 hours. 😁

For these types of articles where the “info” is actually 1-2 sentences, 90% of the time I’ll rather read executive summary like yours.

Thanks! 🍻

Yep, was afraid of that. Sadly, not a solution for me then.

Thanks nevertheless! 🍻

Let me correct that for you:

iOS 18.2 Finally Forced to Allow Third-Party Browser Web Apps With Custom Engines in EU

P.S. Thanks, Brussels.

I checked out Tailscale, and my 👀 popped when I realized what it does! 😄

I proceeded to install it on my phone, only to realize a moment later that my connection was down. I headed over to my Rethink DNS firewall and saw that Tailscale had taken over my VPN connection, causing Rethink to shut everything down (as it’s supposed to).

Now, unfortunately, I’m probably gonna find out that Tailscale needs highly sought out for VPN slot on Android, and that I can’t use it because I’d have to drop my firewall? 🙈

Just goes to show that even a legend can act like an idiot.

Even my taxi apps receive/lose location access automatically on open/close.

That’s my approach with Rethink DNS. I get FOSS alternatives whenever acceptable for my use case, but isolate even them to only bare working minimum of outside connections.

Or tweak Firefox yourself. 😄
