Have you heard of Apple's decision on the rollout of Siri AI in Europe?
-
@EUCommission @gklka Hey, you should tell this to the three people using any “alternative marketplace” on iOS.
As an Apple user, I don’t care who says what. I buy Apple products because of their functionality and seamless integration. These regulations are negatively impacting the user experience of this integration, which you clearly have no fucking clue about. Nobody asked you to disrupt this with any regulations.
TODAY: Man listens to an EU representative saying that the regulations don't prohibit the integration; complains about regulations that do not prohibit the integration.

It is 99% Apple or Google. If you consider that a choice, I have a bunch of two-party political systems to sell you...

Actually, if you pull it a bit further, you could probably also include @jolla and their #SailfishOS.

️@EUCommission Just ditch your iPhone and buy a Fairphone 6 with /e/os from Murena.com
I did

1/3 of the USA is positively engaged
1/3 of the USA is bigoted plutocrat agenda manipulated morons (MAGA)
1/3 of the USA is nonvoting losers (literally, they lose). entitled, lazy perfectionists and cynics who think they care about something but they only care about their holy precious self-regard. they invent any excuse to do nothing except whine and feel superior for doing nothing -

My bad. When I just said Apple and Google have 99% of the market share, I actually should have said 99.94%. I'm sorry.

@zsolt @algernon @EUCommission As much as I love Apple, they are for the money here and EU is for us.
@gklka @zsolt @algernon I, for one, wouldn’t mind if manufacturers would look at me as an adult, let me be wrong and learn from it.
I *hate* the erosion of ownership that is going on and that I cannot install an app without daddy Tim’s approval. I wanna own this device. But if the decision is made above my head, I cannot.
(US) Companies have too much control over our lives. I think the @EUCommission should be more aggressive.

@timsev @kaidu @rzeta0 @Ombligoelemento @EUCommission not buy an iPhone until they release the model choice.
At least that’s what I’m planning to do
@webjac @timsev @kaidu @rzeta0 @EUCommission Yeah but if you are deep into the ecosystem and you lose your phone or it breaks, the reality is you probably end up buying another iPhone even if it’s in the second hand market. I think we should welcome this laws because it benefits the consumer, and most importantly try distinguish the bs big companies say in order to keep imposing their monopolies. And I said this being balls deep in the ecosystem and loving their hardware

️@EUCommission To be clear: Apple was not unable, but much rather *unwilling* to develop interoperability. This is intentional.
-
@Ilka4You @EUCommission No, it’s not. For the past decade, Apple’s features alone were perfectly fine, and we never needed any third parties involved in the core functions. They should just leave it that way. Forcing this change is as absurd as requiring car manufacturers to let you swap engines from other brands, just because we’re in the EU and supposedly must have the option to choose which engine we want in our car. How stupid that would be?
@d4v 1st of all, 1 software onm a device is hardly comparable to the motor of a car. if you want to stick with this example it would be comparable to a feature like seat heating or soundsystem. Your engine would be the processor. 2nd: EU wants to protect free choice of customers, Apple wants to dominate the market by cutting laws and consumer rights.

@EUCommission
Normally I am in heated agreement with EU style regulation but I'm not on this.VW only uses VW parts on VW cars. Do consumers have a right to buy a VW car and insist on a Toyota steering wheel? Obviously not.
@traveling_mike @EUCommission
I don't understand your argument. Anyone is allowed to fit wheels from any supplier, or battery, or many other parts that are typically supplied as an "add on". There are multiple specialist suppliers of car parts for most major models of car.
The maker of a model (not just cars) are obliged by the EU, to provide a proper spec, then any competent supplier can design their items to fit.
This prevents monopoly overcharging for 'parts' to anything. -

I see people can have fun in the European Commission, too.

I wouldn't migrate to Europe for anything lol America is the best country and that says a hell of a lot

These days it hardly qualifies as a civilized country any more.

@traveling_mike @EUCommission many parts of a VW car is not VW made. In fairness my friend has a GTI Golf with very cool modifications on it
@vanzick @traveling_mike @EUCommission
Especially the steering wheel might not be such a good example ....

@EUCommission Can we have a legally enforceable ‘opt-out’ option for any and all “AI” slop?

@traveling_mike @EUCommission Extremely non-comparable segments. One at its baseline, is transportation and the other mostly software.
You can choose between many car brands, but only two operating systems for smartphones - Android or iOS. (Linux is not yet mature and anything else is de-googled OS)
