Engineers at Apple: "Sorry, y'all, but this "AI" stuff just isn't ready for primetime. Can we do a slow rollout, if at all?"
Product Management at Apple: "That would look really bad. But maybe we can blame someone else?"
Marketing at Apple: "Hold my beer!"
@jwildeboer my stomach feeling’s are still not good about the European DMA.
I know the intentions are good, but all I can see the last months is that it would prevent technical innovation and allows the rest of the world to move on, while we are stuck because EU will never be able to catch up by own products and services

@[email protected] OFC #Apple is just flat-out lying. But what do we expect from a #PRISM Collaborator & #Snitch that is (AFAICT) the only #GAFAM so spineless they rather offered theor customers on a silver platter than doing the right thing and actually follow tueor own claims re: #privacy and cease business in the *"P.R."* #China... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ev9_oDHNf-4
@jwildeboer I have similar feelings about GDPR, even after all these years.
What I see in reality is that people will simply not develop solutions that are GDPR compliant, but will simply not develop anything at all. that means innovation is totally stuck for many many customers, simply because of fear “i could do something wrong and then someone will sue me”. this is the other side of the medal.
I know exactly why GDPR was invented, but the time is right to renovate it
@Loredo if your take is that I didn't respect your opinion, I don't have more to say. I told you that your opinion is not accurate, but I didn't disrespect you or it; it's an opinion. I gave you mine based on my experience which happens to be real (don't know about yours).
You're not painted in any corner, cut the crap, nobody is attacking you. We're comparing the GPDR effect with the DCA's effect.
@Loredo @jwildeboer if that's the case and other countries think alike, they should implement GDPR-like legislation as well. Sooner or later the Big Techs might have to comply anyway because there is no place left on earth where they can go without. And i'm pretty sure that the shareholders will think the same when they see the stock collapsing because of the lost business.
Nobody forces them to stay out but if the product is broken from the beginning, well, i wouldn't want it here anyway.
And when they started developing the product, they already knew about the laws and they willfully ignored them. Noone except Apple is to blame here.

@jwildeboer Exactly - this is baseless EU blaming.
And of course the USA IT press, always so critical, just copies the “due to DMA”
I prefer the take by The Register who aren’t as easily technobro’d:

Also, really confusing how the iPhone Mirroring to Mac feature would be affected here - should require zero need to do anything additional with my data, it's all within the same account.
