European iPhones will have more freedom than American iPhones. Amazing
The US is not a very free country, despite the claims to the contrary. Try drinking some beer in a public park while having a picnic and see what the police do to you. The main "freedom" in America is the ability of wealthy interests to screw over everyone.
that it's taken this long for an iOS clipboard manager (using obvious SDK controls) is nutty.
> The first version I tried used the user’s location to remain active, but was rejected by Apple. Testut then updated Clip with a Map feature — so there’s a reason for the app to remain active in the background — to receive approval.
Yes, I'll admit that I prefer some limitations on background processes in order to preserve my battery. But apple is not doing that, instead they allow it but only after the app adds some pretend functionality which makes the user experience worse for everyone.
And let's think about how many pointless background processes they themselves have added over the years, it seems that every patch level there is a bunch more.

Or has Apple actually decided to remove app signing? They sure didn't when they announced this change.

Let’s steer clear of bitter partisanship and hyperbole, please. Freedom is a complex and nuanced concept.

Try as I might, I’m failing to picture which shadowy cabal of wealthy elite might be behind the laws preventing day drinking in parks, and how they might be benefiting from it.
The vast majority of Android tablets seem to suck for some reason.

And Europe isn't free if I want to own a gun. See, I can also do a single-factor analysis and come out ahead!

Remember that freedom isn’t a resource that a society can have more or less of. Freedom of one person or group always comes with a restriction of freedom of someone else. It’s a delicate balance, not a “do whatever you want” kinda thing.
I have done some reflection on core democratic values. Especially to whether there is a more fair key than 1 person 1 vote. Eg. land is the main mandate for a country to controle. Should land be the key? The one with more land gets more votes. Whenever I think it out these systems collapses. If it was land that was the key for votes, the society would inevitable converge to a single entity owning all the land and all…
