Apple has failed in its attempt to dismiss a lawsuit on behalf of 1500+ developers in the UK that argues its 30% cut is unfair.
As smartphones have become a modern necessity, the idea of paying a tax to the OS vendor will be more universally resisted.
Developers don’t pay 30% to your ISP or browser vendor which are also critical to being online. Courts and governments now seem sympathetic to that argument.
@Octale @futurebird @georgetakei If all one does is vote in state elections, one ought to vote such that the fascists and oligarchs don't win. But if all one does is vote in state elections, that one is a fool. The mathematical structure is inherently unfair.
As a means of peacefully diffusing concentrations of power, and effecting other beneficial changes, state elections have been neutralized in most of the US. That is one less method that is inherently non-violent.
