you have no idea how many times i've thought about making nuclear weapons but stopped because the iTunes Store EULA forbids me from listening to Apple Music while doing so
disclaimer: this post is satirical and designed to mock the itunes store eula's verbosity, it is not a genuine sentiment that i hold
@ipg i assume it's one of those legal things they have to include to satisfy US export law
@ipg congratulations you made it to the brainrot app
@ipg but nukes are so fun
@ipg you know, now that I read it, that bit about missiles seems awfully broad.
@ipg Thanks for the clarification!

@ipg i refuse to believe this is an actual clause

what in the goddamn fuck is this EULA holy shit

Legal - Licensed Application End User License Agreement - Apple

Apple Legal
@ipg there’s also a clause in the macOS EULA about not *running* nuclear facilities using apple hardware 🦋
@traumaphoenix @ipg I suspect this one is somehow inherited from the Java license, even though AFAIK that no longer ships with macOS. There was an apocryphal story going around that that clause resulted from Sun engineers going white-faced with fear after receiving a tech support call from a nuclear plant — which I sincerely doubt, but it stuck in my mind.
@traumaphoenix @ipg nuclear tech makes sense, but I'm a bit surprised about disallowing ATC on their hardware (not that anyone would use macs for it)

@traumaphoenix @ipg

That's pretty ordinary. Back in the day they didn't bother specifying so much, but it's been there for a long time.

@traumaphoenix @ipg
You just need to install @AsahiLinux on the Mac. Then you are allowed to run nuclear weapons using your device.
@jak2k @ipg @AsahiLinux still goes through iBoot which is a part of macOS, so if apple wanted to sue you they’d probably have half a leg to stand on 🦋
@ipg wait what—i am not allowed to make a missile?
@ipg But using itunes as a instrument of torture is just fine. Which is fortunate given some of the music
@ipg this may or may not apply to me
@ipg Ayatollahs hate this trick.

@ipg

If you stick to cluster bombs and land mines you should be fine

@ipg "Anarcho" capitalists are quaking!!
@ipg making nuclear weapons can be lethal even for the makers by the way. At least two people died from Plutonium exposure and radiation poisoning while making the first atomic bomb: Harry Daghlian and Louis Slotin

@ipg U2 had an album about dismantling an atomic bomb.
What if it’s played in reverse?
Can iTunes do that? Or should I just use Winamp?
@Tydence @ipg Heaven 17, "Let's All Make a Bomb".
@ipg @driusan It says what? That’s… …so… …absurd. <spins down centrifuge>
@ipg this is why buying physical media is still so important. Nobody stopping you building a bomb while listening to a CD or vinyl 😁
@ipg @revk To be fair you could hook it up to be a trigger when "It's the end of the world as we know it" comes on
@ipg But "dirty" radiological weapons are OK, as long as they're not delivered by missile?
@ipg
Aw shit. Not chemical weapons too? *Pouts*

@ipg

@ipg I think you can not use it iN the nuke.

@ipg an interesting question becomes what happens when you emit a lethal fart while listening to Apple Music.
Does that count as a potential chemical warfare agent?
@ipg that's why so many people still use Spotify, despite it not having lossless audio
@ipg This is how you tell the bad guys apart from the good guys in American movies.

@ipg @bitprophet I was incredibly disappointed when (last year, or the year before) the insurance on our camper dropped coverage for nuclear incidents.

Had to completely change our summer plans!

@ipg @catsalad Due to the lack of an Oxford comma, you might be ok listening to music while creating chemical AND biological weapons.
@ipg oh, snap! That's a hard stop!

@ipg

But hasn't your King declared that laws don't matter anymore?

It so, it isn't prohibited by the US anymore and you are good to go.
