Apple was just forced to crack open its App Store — but the changes are already being called ‘hot garbage’::Changes to how apps are distributed on iPhones should be welcomed by developers, but many are unhappy with some describing them as “hot garbage.”

I’m not upset or surprised.
But I do believe Apple has failed to comply with the law, and they either need to start complying or else I’d like to see the EU apply the maximum penalty. Which, by the way, is to split Apple into multiple companies.
Being split up has happened before and it generally doesn’t go well for anyone - it’d be a lot better (including for Apple) if they just complied with the law and stopped being so anti-competitive… but ultimately I’m fine with either outcome.
I’m definitely not ok with things continuing as they are right now… but that’s not going to happen so I’m not putting any energy into that.
