Disagree. The current make-up of the EU barely represents historical bonds with so many nations in it. Though a populist leader using such history as leverage is not unbelievable, official Austrian reasoning behind refusal was much more pragmatic, human rights and migrants. Turkey is a regional player punching above their weight (potentially upsetting power balance less-so economically but definitely diplomatically and militarily) and is not exactly in line with EU ideals, culturally and politically, due to years of unstability and turmoil.
That being put aside, despite flaunting acceptance and democracy as their foremost goal, EU leaders surely knew not compromising on Turkey's accession would stray them farther of the EU in every way possible. And if that helps with a potentially bigger migrant crisis, so much the better.
Nations holding the region of Turkey are historically very powerful. My guess is that historical forces are reasserting themselves and that we may could see a much more assertive Turkey going forward.
... due to controlling a key choke-point in land trade between europe and the middle-east and asia. That hardly applies now. The suez canal would be a better modern equivalent.
I respectfully disagree given the basic fragility of the Suez Canal system along with the fact that Egypt is not growing into a major world power on the back of their governance of this canal.
No, they aren't, and there are plenty of reasons for that, not in the least because the canal is very different from a major trade city. But then, land trade is not making a comeback either. So if you're arguing for something to restore the historic importance of Troy, Constantinople etc, you're going to have to find a factor besides historic inevitability.
The other important incentive would be games that cannot be cheated, I saw a few games on steam that have reviews informing potential buyers that the games have been ruined because the devs didn't implement a successful anti-cheat system.
Read a few more posts and it shouts GPT occasionally. Plus the author's (as I like to call them still) role is listed as 'Content Engineer' which isn't inspiring either. Too bad, the topics sounded interesting.
Had a bunch of inconsistencies last time i checked. Not quite comprehensive nor does it have much clarity. I also could hardly see when I disabled my ad block momentarily.
Moral of the story: books are better for learning when it comes to C.
I think its inevitable death will be from all that unrestricted pornography. That being said, these kinds of projects usually hold up for quite some time.
I came across erotic films in a Swiss channel, so yes. The catch is that they probably were streaming it at 3 a.m. in the night but i watched it at 7 p.m across the ocean
If Apple advertised a toggle that protects you completely but let the users decide the mitigations, it would severely damage its standing as a secure phone when it would inevitability get exploited. (Targeted) Apple users are usually not technical.
You're saying that having "enable full lockdown mode", but _also_ having a toggle in iMessage settings for "Disable automatic display of media attachments" would be less secure?
The poster two above me couldn't find the setting because they looked in iMessage settings for an iMessage security feature, not for lockdown.
And I would turn on the imessage security feature in a heartbeat if it didn't break my browser, and a custom font I have to install via a configuration profile.
I feel like these are both good counter examples to "adding options obviously means people won't use it"
Delta seems to be allowed (at least partially) because of the DMA and the EU.
I'd also love to hear your suggestions on those couple of apps. Last time i checked, proper apps either charge whatever they want to because of their monopolistic position(+ the cost of an Apple Developer Program to a hobbyist) , and free apps unclear if they even solve the problem are designed to harvest and sell almost everything you have.
Orion is a very rare exception in both of these cases but they weren't able to make uBO work
> ... Everybody knew that Apple would be uncongenial, borderline malicious ...
> Therefore its pointless to blame Apple
The entire fault is on Apple. The EU that is notoriously depicted as overly bureaucratic and slow-moving managed to make the largest consumer walled garden to relax its gates and give some form of authority to people who own the damn device.
Remember, no form of official sideloading existed before the DMA.
That being put aside, despite flaunting acceptance and democracy as their foremost goal, EU leaders surely knew not compromising on Turkey's accession would stray them farther of the EU in every way possible. And if that helps with a potentially bigger migrant crisis, so much the better.
