Apple appeals €500m EU fine
Apple finds its own terms for using its app store, revised to conform with #EU's Digital Markets Act which allow developers to use its Apple Store to advertise other venues for downloading their application, "confusing" to developers 🤣
I guess Apple should get used to abiding by #EU law now. No more ripping off European developers in a door-less app store cage.
They can still do that to American developers though… #technofascism

Heavily armed immigration agents descend on #MacArthurPark in #LosAngeles
By Melissa Gomez, Rachel Uranga, Brittny Mejia, Richard Winton and Ruben Vives
July 7, 2025 12:16 PM PT
"Dozens of immigration agents, some on horseback, others carrying rifles in armored vehicles, swept through MacArthur Park on Monday in an extraordinary show of force at the heart of Los Angeles’ #immigrant community.
"Heavily armored #BorderPatrol officers with a fleet of white minibuses partially blocked the streets surrounding the park, which has become a source of crime and drugs in the area in the last few years. #Activists with megaphones were able to warn locals at the park before the contingent arrived, according to police sources.
"The move comes days after President Trump signed a budget that will provide a mass infusion of funds to the Department of Homeland Security to ramp up its immigration enforcement to levels unseen before in the United States. Los Angeles has become the poster child of Trump’s mass deportation plan, as more than 1,600 people have been arrested between June 6 and 22.
"The agents appeared to arrive around 10:30 a.m. after amassing at nearby locations. Once they were at the park, they were met with crowds of people screaming 'get the f— out!' and 'get out!' #MayorKarenBass also showed up to the park, which sits just west of downtown Los Angeles. Activists, who have been on high alert for weeks, appeared to be prepared to deploy lawyers to the scene.
"At some point, Assistant Chief Patrol Agent David Kim handed his cellphone to Bass. Speaking to the other person over the line she could be heard saying, 'You’re getting ready to leave? Can you leave ASAP?'
"Demonstrators began to chant, drowning out her conversation. When asked to comment, Bass said the federal immigration agents needed 'to leave and they need to leave right now, they need to leave because this is unacceptable.'
"When asked who she was talking to on the other end of the line she said it was 'the head of customs.'
"Bass handed the phone back to a U.S. Border Patrol agent. Shortly afterward, she boarded a black SUV and left the area.
"It’s unclear if anyone was arrested during the sweep.
" 'This was just one big, perverse publicity stunt,' said #RonGochez, a member of #UniónDelBarrio, an independent political organization advocating for immigrant rights and social justice. 'It was just to show force, it was just to take pictures.'
"The chaos on #WilshireBoulevard around MacArthur Park had mostly calmed by 11:30 a.m., though a few protesters and members of the news media lingered afterward.
"Mikema Nahmir, 28, said he was out for his morning walk at 11 a.m. when he saw two women running down the street yelling that '#LaMigra' was at MacArthur Park.
"Nahmir joined the group of #protesters who chased and yelled after the #military-style trucks. At one point, he said, someone from the truck shot out an #irritant toward him and another protester.
" 'L.A. is ours, this is our city,' Nahmir said. 'This is what my morning walk turned into. They’re terrorizing our neighborhood.'
"Live video from the scene Monday morning broadcast on social media showed a line of white vans that have been used to transport arrestees as well as several agents on horseback. Agents cleared the scene by 11:20 a.m. and it was not immediately clear how many people they had taken into custody.
"U.S. Border Patrol Sector Chief Greg Bovino, who has been leading the operations on the ground in Los Angeles, was present during the operation.
"Bovino, who is based near the U.S.-Mexico border along with others in the Trump administration, was sued last week by immigrant rights groups seeking to block what it calls an 'ongoing pattern and practice of flouting the #Constitution and federal law' during immigration raids. They say raids have targeted individuals based on race, lack #DueProcess and some practices are akin to #kidnapping rather than legal enforcement. A hearing is set for later this week in federal court.
"Asked for comment on whether any arrests had been made, a senior DHS official, said, 'We don’t comment on ongoing enforcement operations.' "

Unas fotos de ejemplo con la hora azul o casi de noche por Madrid con el teléfono #POCOM6Pro que repito, para el precio que me costó ( 150 € ) nada mal awnqye no estoy satisfecho del todo con la cámara.
En el modo Pro puedes ajustar todo en manual, ISO, temperatura color, velocidad, enfoque...
En los ejemplos el ISO lo bajo a valores bajos para tener menos ruido y reduzco velocidad de disparo con el móvil bien apoyado o sujeto.
Lo peor la cámara angular.

The Ruthless Ambition of Stephen Miller
The crisis, from the immigration raids that sparked the protests to the militarized response that tried to put the protests down, was almost entirely of Mr. Miller’s making.
In case you want to know who is responsible for sending trucks with heavy weapons mounted on tripods into LA and creating a network of concentration camps.
Contents of the letters that Attorney General Pam Bondi sent to major tech companies like including Apple, Google, and Oracle claim a shutdown of TikTok would hamper the government's ability to execute national security and foreign affairs. Legal scholars indicate this logic is legally very shaky and future administrations would likely not be bound by these pronouncements.
TikTok's tech partners face massive legal risks by relying on Bondi's promises not to enforce the ban law, as courts rarely protect defendants who count on executive non-enforcement.

Trump's Victory 45-47 is an idiotic fragrance that he is selling. Makes me think of Sex Panther (without any of the humor).

Look, I'm sure other people have pointed this out before but it's been increasingly bothering me.
You notice he uses "45-47" on his merchandise, including those ridiculous hats, rather than "45 & 47". Thus, repeating his bullshit claim he was really also the 46th president.
I mean such a fragile little ego.

in reply to Sky.Bit • • •The image depicts a glassblowing process. In the foreground, a vibrant orange molten glass is being shaped by a glassblower. The glass forms a spiral pattern as it is being manipulated with a metal rod. The glassblower, whose face is not visible, is wearing a dark shirt and gray pants, and is holding the rod with both hands. The background is blurred, but it appears to be an industrial setting with equipment related to glassblowing. The focus is on the glass and the glassblower's hands, highlighting the skill and precision involved in the craft.
