The judge was probably an Apple fanboy and/or in their pocket.
The amount of times I’ve heard arguments on Apple forums/news articles being pro-Apple-walled-garden is too high.

Oh, absolutely, which is the entire point sometimes.
For example, nobody likes terrorists or pedophiles, so make laws against them, because everyone can agree with punishing them. Only problem is, our system works on precidence and doesn’t limit those laws to exclusively terrorists and pedophiles, but they instead apply to everyone. An example of a bill like this that Congress has tried to pass in the past is to ban encryption, since it helps criminals communicate with each other, but non-criminal civilians also use encryption for communication, amomgst other things.
Sure, but this isn’t about the person; it’s about legal precidence.
Other app stores that are approved by Apple while giving Apple a cut after a million downloads of an app.
You still can’t install whatever .ipa file you want on iOS, even in Europe. So if you want something like Revanced (uYou+ on iOS), then you have to go through the whole rigamarole of creating an Apple developer account, resigning the ipa file, and repeating the resigning process every week, optionally using something like AltStore to automate that process, or alternatively, jailbreak, which means that you have to stay on an old, exploitable iOS version and never update.
What really needs to happen is that the consumer needs to own the device they bought. What this means in the smartphone world (also other devices, like video game consoles, car computers, smartwatches, smart TVs, tablets, laptops, etc.) is a few things: root access, an unlockable bootloader, and replacable signing keys for the primary bootloader while providing a firmware package to go back to 100% stock (so no Samsung Knox that irrevocably triggers after unlocking the bootloader or DRM keys that get irrevocably wiped when unlocking the bootloader) (all of these being optional features that the user has to explicitly enable). Anything short of that is not ownership.
Walmart, Kroger, Safeway (the latter two are in the midst of merging as well)
Overly concerned parents want their kid to always carry a phone/tracking device.
I’m sure Life360 parents played a not-so-small part in that decision.
Also school shootings might play a factor.
Which is most of hobbyist 3D printing. Resin printing has its issues, especially with strength
Ladybird is an up and coming independent web browser. There’s also the Servo browser engine project in the works.
Yeah. I’ve seen too many battery technologies die in a lab. I need to see it to believe it.
Press stop, then stop again, then play on your remote. That’s a fairly universal way to skip straight to the movie.
Linux is free.
We need to archive the Internet Archive.
Maybe put it in international waters.
They already have a free version of Windows. Just don’t activate it.
Microsoft would prefer that you pirate Windows rather than use Linux, as it further entrenches their dominance in the market.
They mainly make their money off of business licenses anyway, similar to Adobe and Autodesk.
There’s a reason massgravel’s scripts are hosted on Microsoft’s GitHub platform and hasn’t been taken down.
I still agree with his sentiment towards Nvidia.
As a Linux user, I had to trade in my Nvidia laptop for one with an AMD GPU due to how unstable the Nvidia drivers were and how many problems they were giving me. With the AMD laptop, I have had zero issues.
