Eu to make Apple open up operating system to rival tech - Autism Place

An erra is to come to an end as the Eu says enough is enough and introduces new rules and hefty fines. [https://lemmy.autism.place/pictrs/image/698daa52-ff36-4c7b-850a-d4ae602521af.png]

Damn… this is the first time I don’t agree with the outcome of an EU decision regarding Apple.
Why not? Opening up a system to competition usually makes it better, no?
Their stuff is designed to specifically work with their stuff, and that’s a big part of their IP.
The I in IP stands for intelectual; AKA, the clever things they reached with their thoughts. The artificial limitations are not IP, simply mechanisms they included exclusivity. They needn’t be clever. if (!apple) { rejectApp(); hideDocs() } is not IP.
