Agreed. I switched from an iPhone to a Pixel because the iPhone experience is claustrophobic (admittedly I switched from Android to iPhone before that for the much better and lengthy software Apple gives). If this means the iPhone is getting things similar to F-Droid and NewPipe I'd be happy to switch back.

The new iPads have an M1 chip with virtualization capabilities, but you wouldn't know it with the stuff Apple allows on it. Imagine how much better iPads would be if Apple couldn't block Linux VMs just because it doesn't suit them.

Ha, a iPad running Linux would be something I'd look at.

It is a surprise so, that the EU is actually moving, at scale, in that direction. Maybe privacy, processed food and some other things next!

What?

The EU has enacted GDPR, 178/2002/EC (food safety), 44/1999/EC (consumer protection), any number of consumer protection Regulations and Directives.

GDPR is good, just needs reinforcement. The way things like the nutrition score are done is just bad so.

GDPR enforcement is getting better. But yeah man nutri-score is really flawed.

How is the nutri-score flawed?

I looked at the rules and it seemed like a really good idea.

I even got the impression, products got changed for the better in the last year to get a higher nutri-score.

The idea is good, it just got water down too much. On top of that, there are German laws dictating a certain minimum sugar content for certain products to be called mustard or marmalade for example, or lemonade. Which kind of screwed up if you ask me. But that is more of a national thing.

Water down to much?

It's the only drink that got A. Which seems reasonable to me.

It's based on product category, so you can see an A milk next to a (in absolute terms better) C oatmilk, etc...

I knew this, but I didn't know how dumb some of these categories are.

Thanks!

There's a reason mammals feed their infants milk, not oats. Milk is strictly more nutritious.

Inefficient to produce, sure. Destroying the environment, yeah. Cruel to animals, definitely. Unnecessary, yes. These should be reflected in the price, not nutritional labels.

Already possible due to a bootrom exploit in older iPads:
