When did people start typing like this? I see it a lot now on social media and it’s absolutely ridiculous.
Like many things people think are new on the internet, it started a long, long time ago. And yeah it’s always been intentionally annoying.

If you use iOS you use Safari’s webkit engine, using another browser is just like putting lipstick on a pig. To date all iOS browser’s use the same engine, that will change soon, in the EU at least.A UK government department desperately seeking to justify its existence.
I don't use Safari, doesn't that count for something?
Can’t have a monopoly because there’d be no competition.
Can’t have a duopoly because there’d be… not enough competition?
Can’t have a triopoly or a tetropoly either because… reasons.
What about a pentopoly?
How many polies is the correct number of polies?
Pretty much can’t have anything where a regulatory agency chooses to use the suffix “-poly.”
Apple’s system works for both most consumers and developers who choose it, and they’re now being punished for their success.
I’ve been doing it sparingly (key word: sparingly) since at least 2011 but I’m guessing tiktok or something made it get way out of hand. same way all trendy s—t goes: underground for years, brought to the mainstream in a ridiculous fashion, almost immediately considered gauche and passé while the underground figures out something newWhen did people start typing like this?

Probably since Apple released the Butterfly Keyboard! 🤣, but no worry soon Apple will put these MacBooks on the vintage list.When did people start typing like this? I see it a lot now on social media and it’s absolutely ridiculous.
Tim Cook’s coffee cup…When the entire world is against you - you’ve got a problem
The CMA's investigation into Apple uses high-level powers to request extensive information from Apple to draw conclusions
Funny this comment can also be applied to CMA. Yes CMA can say that Apple wants to throw their weight around with demands, but aren't they guilty of the same?As noted by tech regulation expert Zach Meyers, "Apple's complaints are purely about procedural niceties" and this "suggests that Apple wants to play hard-ball."
BuY aN aNdRoId PhOnE iF YoU DoNT LiKe iTJust let me install retro game emulators please Apple, I'm sick of jumping through hoops to load them via developer account.
I fully expect the same overzealous legislators, who are forcing Apple into removing the barriers of a safer user experience, to then blame Apple for damage caused by their own incompetence.
another poster make this point but once any type of side loading or alternative browsers become available everyone will eventually be forced outside the App Store because some app got work or school or something will need it. It will not be possible to avoid. Thats a myth - if you don’t like it just dont go outside the App Store you will not need to. But we will all be forced outside.
Let the UK rule the way they see fit. Let the US have worse options in the Apple eco system than the UK and see how the UK phones will get imported into the US at massive rates. I am all for it!

Apple's badly needs to show the world with iOS 17 that it does indeed allow application purchase flexibility to some degree and puts all these stuffed shirts back in their places instead of those types always trying to tax technology using whatever scheme they come up with.In November, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) launched a market investigation reference into Apple and Google's cloud gaming and mobile browser restrictions. The CMA has examined Apple and Google's "effective duopoly" that allows the companies to "exercise a stranglehold over these markets" for almost a year.
Define ”so big” the problem. A relative term compared to what? The natural comparison another like product in the same category. A monopoly happens when a company or product so dominates an industry that others cannot compete. There are excellent very competitive products in the market place for every product Apple produces. Apple has less than 50% of the smart phone market, their flagship product. Governments are just plain wrong on this one.Don't create a monopoly and you will be fine as long as they insist on that. People defending Apple by saying "yOu CaN jUsT uSe AnDrOiD" does not understand that a monopoly is not about having other options.
It is about a player eating into the free market by being so big (either by choice or not). It, therefore, has to take on a more considerable responsibility that goes outside regular business expectations/requirements.
Just look at Google. When your company name becomes a verb for "Searching online", you are getting to that point. Apple is getting there too.
Eh?! Isn't this article discussing the UK's stance? Are you getting the EU and the UK mixed up by any chance? 🙄Europe doing what it does best—stifling innovation for the next decade.
I don't think this bothers him in any way, his bank account is full already.No wonder Tim Cook gets up at 3:45 AM. I couldn't sleep either with all these lawsuits and conflicting regulations.
When the entire world is against you - you’ve got a problem
Some parts of the world more than others, necessitate smartphone detox centers. For example in 2019 98% of Korean teens were on phones way too long. Some teens were on their phones 13 hours a day. The gaming companies are just trying to take advantage of that addiction with pushing their way onto iOS and android phones convincing government regulators they are being hurt by mean old Apple and Google. It's an outcome that few expected when Steve introduced the iPhone.The entire world is wrong, obviously.
Poor Appel!
The time is coming for the tech giants, they have undermined governments and laws, and like google and Facebook refuse to protect children and vulnerable, and in Apples case it's gambling accusations and monopolistic approach. So the inevitable conclusion is governments will change laws and regulations and fine them if they refuse to obey them.
I'm confused what these tech companies thought would happen to be honest? They seem to act like they have impunity, yet they are not elected governing bodies with the power to create and enforce laws. All they have achieved is for governments to provide greater powers to this regulators. And new digital laws to be created.
Did she get her new Ferrari already? Nevermind!Recently, here in America, Federal Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers said in her decision on the Epic v. Apple battle that Apple was not a monopolist and “success is not illegal.”
Apple created the App Store model, as we know it. Development was decentralized from large companies with dozens of software engineers to anyone with a computer and iPhone. Apple’s philosophy has proven successful with users as there are more iPhones than any other smartphone. Many people, myself included, appreciate the control and security Apple brings to market. For people who want more control over their devices, there are other manufacturers who have alternative business models.
I’m all for allowing web downloads on the iPhone. But I would hate to see Apple loose control of the App Store. This would allow more openness for those who want it and still maintain the security and control for the majority of the users who don’t.
Did she get her new Ferrari already? Nevermind!
Anyway, recently there in America a bipartisan bill aka "Open App Markets Act" started to roll, which will render any previous decision made by any judge in this regard invalid, including the one made by Mrs. Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers.
The Open App Markets bill moves out of the Senate Judiciary Committee | Brookings
The recent manager's amendment would provide needed regulatory oversight for both antitrust enforcement and privacy and security for mobile apps, but would not create the national privacy law that advocates are seeking, which seems to be stuck in congressional limbo, Mark MacCarthy writeswww.brookings.edu
