Apple’s new Digital Markets Act malicious compliance scheme is blatantly unlawful in both Europe and the United States and makes a mockery of fair competition in digital markets. Apps with competing payments are not only taxed but commercially crippled in the App Store.

"Apple will transition from the Core Technology Fee (CTF) to the Core Technology Commission (CTC)" omfg don't they have enough money? developer.apple.com/news/?id=awedz…

This is probably fake news planted by lobbyists. If true, it would mean total capitulation of the European Commission to Apple's brazen junk fees and discrimination against competing payment services makes a mockery of competition. reuters.com/sustainability…

"It's such a symbiotic relationship. There are a ton of programmers who have become Linux curious, and Beelink offers no-brainer options to give that a try at a bargain." world.hey.com/dhh/it-s-a-bee…

This bizarre legal opportunism wasn’t on my bingo card. It’s an extraneous argument, as the 9th Circuit court in Epic v Apple acknowledged that Epic participates in the app market in multiple roles, and remedying Apple’s illegal conduct (with respect to Epic as a store operator,
