    Ok, so Louis Rossmann 'lobbying' and pushing for legislation that benefits him and consumers is bad, but Apple pushing anti-consumer legislation that helps them isn't.
     
    Got it.

    I want to add to this question.
    @avg123 Are you against the bill due to a genuinely held belief, or due to your ignorance of what it actually means?
    If it's the former, then please name those beliefs so everyone can start over, maybe.
    If it's the latter, then your aversion and hostility towards it should not be taken seriously by anyone here until you learn what it really means.
     
    Just an FYI, "Right to Repair" has been, and continues to be, a fight in the automotive industry, the farming industry, etc., this one is related to tech (not just Apple), but it's not the only fight.

    You can really tell you're an Apple user. Because apparently having more options is the worst thing that can happen

    So you just don't know who he is then. May I suggest you look into it before saying nonsense ?

    Well, it's posted on Bitdefenders website. You don't need to do much digging to know that it was written by someone at Bitdefender. Bitdefender posts blogs about personal data breaches on their site because they sell a service to tell you if you were involved in the breach, there's an advertisement for their identity protection tool in the post.
    Bitdefenders blog post is based on this article reported by Hackread. https://www.hackread.com/hacker-dumps-household-records-of-americans/

    I don't think there are any, at least not to my knowledge.
    Most, if not all, exchanges have a "know your customer" process. This is especially important if you live in a country that'll require you to pay taxes based on your trades.

    If web apps were a real equal alternative you would think that most developers would use it to get rid of the 30% fee.

    lewdicrous reacted to Stahlmann in The creators of Humble Bundle are suing Valve for monopolistic behavior in a class action lawsuit   
    Imo Valve is not really a monopoly. You have the free coice to buy/sell your games whereever you want. The reason why the stores frome Epic, EA, Ubisoft, etc. cannot gain ground is because they just don't offer the same features as Steam does. And instead of trying to improve their platform they try to get exclusivity deals and force people to use their store. But because of this forced userbase it just leaves a bad taste in peoples mouths and because of this most people ulitmately don't stay in these platforms. So it's basically on Steam's competitors that they're not able to compete, not Valve.
