Shrug. They can open up the apple ecosystem so you don't need their store and then they can refuse to do business.

Apple put themselves in the position that they have to do business with entities they don't approve of, thankfully the courts are reminding them of this. Soon one or more of the apple execs will wind up in prison.

Great example, actually. Why do you think it's okay for apple to unilaterally decide what more than a billion people are allowed to use their device for? Is it because you are projecting your own fears and insecurities on everyone else?

I'm explaining that gene modification will not be considered illegal or bad because the rich will have a vested interest in it being legal. This is a reply to GP saying:

> use legal mechanisms to discriminate and persecute people who are genetically modified

I believe there is no way this will happen, because legal mechanisms are driven by the whims of the rich, and they will want gene editing to be legal. So there will beno legal mechanisms to discriminate against those who have been edited.

This is why apple needs to be broken up into a software company and a hardware company. They're so, so clearly abusing their current position.

So pathetic, especially the red triangle. It's like they thought "well it's a warning, so we use the warning icon but we need to make it scary so it's red!!".

Don't be silly, the rich will want their babies to be perfect so gene editing will be legal and considered OK.

You mean that that's ok for you. Which is fine. It isn't ok for other people, which is also fine.

Some people may not want to have to reopen Nextcloud any time a new directory appears on their device so they can add it to Nextcloud, while the other American bigtech backup apps can just pick it up automatically no problem.

Great, now look at the prices and compare that to your typical AirBnB.

> this is mostly called an aparthotel

Which is quite different from, and far more expensive than, a hotel which GP was talking about.

> This is different from Airbnb's where they abuse a residential building for short term stays.

As allowed by local regulations, so not quite abuse. Sure it used to be the wild west several years ago but it's been cracked down on since.

It's designed to sync the files the user wants synced, be it files produced by the camera app or some other app that operates on a directory on your device, such as your Downloads folder, audiobook folder used by your audiobook app, or the notes folder where your notes app writes the notes.txt, or just straight up everything.

Got some links? And how do their prices compare to the typical AirBnB?

> There are plenty of hotels where you can get multiple rooms and a washing machine

Ok... Can you show me some like that in the EU?

> This is all not to mention being asked to strip beds, take out trash, etc, after you've paid thousands of dollars, including cleaning fees for the place.

Just don't do that.

Google will not let you pick the root folder, making it impossible to sync everything.

Note that Google's and other American Big Tech apps do not have this issue, because Google only cares about taking permissions away from "small" players.

Keep deluding yourself, buddy.

> is that productivity in the teams using tools like this has greatly increased

On the short term. Have fun debugging that mess in a year while your customers are yelling at you! I'll be available for hire to fix the mess you made which you clearly don't have the capability to understand :-)
