I'm torn on what to think about the uks stance on technology. Like one one hand they've been forcing apple to be normal. But on the other hand they love trying to restrict porn in the most ridiculous ways.

The EU forced USB-C not the UK.

The UK is no longer a member of the EU.

The Idea that the UK is claiming the successes of the EU after Brexit is amusing.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I don't think the UK did.

Opie kind of just assumed that the UK was responsible

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Yeah that is why I said "idea". I can certainly see some people from the UK stealing EU valor.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Guess that goes to show just how little I know about the UK and EU.

Made phones require a USBC port and I also believe they also tried to pass some pro right to repair bills.

From my understanding that was actually the EU and the UK just fallowed suit because we're dependent on EU supply chains.

Basically the equivalent of shouting "yeah right" at the back of the crowd.

The government and the courts are different things and they don't like each other.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The UK government and the EU courts. Yes. Very different things

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

And the UK courts. The UK courts don't like the UK government either, mostly because they keep on committing crimes. They won't stop.
