Then why aren’t they already doing that by blocking DuckDuckGo?
The DuckDuckGo app blocks all apps from sending to Google (and other advertisers) tracking/ad data on a system level. And it’s freely available on the Play Store (has been for years.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.duckduckgo.mobile.android
If they wanted to prevent apps from blocking their ad abilities, this app would never have been allowed on the Play Store.
How do I turn that feature on?
I keep turning off captions off, and every few days they are automatically turned back on.
DMA is only partly for choice. Sorry, different act, but same group (EU). But the rest pretty much stands the same, the EU won’t see it as malicious compliance, but as a great design choice.
This is also huge part of it about being able to “prevent illegal” content.
“easier reporting of illegal content” “less exposure to illegal content” “level-playing field against providers of illegal content”
This will help give paper trails for everything, and that allows for easy reporting which is the bigger part of the DMA.
From what I’ve read about this lawsuit is that the UK isn’t blocking the site, they are sending them daily fines for not IDing every user. The 2 sites are arguing back that they aren’t UK companies and don’t even have any business/physical presence in the UK, so as they have nothing to do with anything of the UK then UK laws and legal threats have no meaning to them. Which I agree with here.
I think they are seeking legal lawsuits like this to help prevent any future issues (like having arrest warrants issued for them in the UK, preventing them from ever being there, or the risk of other countries arresting them and shipping them to the UK to face the fines/charges).
Where does it say that Google is blocking all side loading?
It says they are blocking the installing of unsigned apps. This is the macOS Gatekeeper being the only option on Android. You can still download and install apps that aren’t in the Play Store. So the EU will still love this as 3rd party apps can still exist, but at the same time anything “illegal” can be reported to them immediately.
EU: Thank you Google for complying with the DSA.
This is a a huge part of it, the whole “prevent illegal” parts.
The EU isn’t going to punish them for this, they will hold this up as the golden standard.
No, it’s nothing like what Apple’s been doing.
Apple has been losing in court about everyone needs to give them money anytime anything makes any money on iOS, or even thinking absolutely allowing others to install anything beyond their App Store.
This is Google demanding every app that can be installed on Android must be signed by them, and the only cost is registering with them your name and address, possibly verified by government ID. (And quite possible doxxing you at the same time as they already do on the Play Store…)
These are very different, and unlike Apple, will more likely be applauded by numerous world governments in the current “anything a child can even remotely even know about” must have its users be checked to make sure they are “allowed to”.
The 1982 version of “The Amazing Adventures of Hercules”. They re-released it in I think 2004, but butchered it.
Everyone answered the first part, so as for connecting to other devices, that’s a part of communication protocols which doesn’t concern about what file system you use.
Bluetooth will work with others as long as you have Bluetooth connection protocols, Internet uses TCP/IP, LANs use Ethernet, etc…
Apple’s Tim Cook donated $1 million personally to Trump. Not Apple Inc, Tim Cook. And now he’s donating this as well. These are not the same.
They already get that from the PRISM act.
Like many others have mentioned, video game soundtracks when studying. [https://www.gameslearningsociety.org/what-is-the-science-of-video-game-music/](Video game music has also been shown to help with studying.)
Can video game music help you study? And according to a plethora of research, having such music to accompany a task–especially if it’s repetitive—can drive up dopamine levels in the brain, allowing you to engage in work or study more productively and with less stress. It can also drive inspiration and add a touch of whimsy to otherwise boring tasks.

I think this comment highlights just why people still think iPhones are a status symbol. They don’t know any better or even anything of the market but they are sure confident about it.
IPhone will get 5-6 years of updates, but Android phones from Google, Samsung, and some others will get 7 6 years. Somehow that means the iPhone is better?
What next, they will claim that iPhone is private and Apple doesn’t spy on everything they do to sell them ads? Something that if they read Apple’s privacy policy quickly would find out is also wrong. Or then claim it is somehow more private that Android which can actually block most of the adware spying with apps like DuckDuckGo which are officially on the Play Store?
