        We haven’t had any major protests over here for a few weeks. Things are calming down for vacation season.

            I’m not French so I don’t get a guillotine haha. I’ve just lived here for 16 years. They do like to have their strikes, but in their defence many of them are “declared” and “approved” by local authorities so we are warned about them weeks in advance. Like, my son’s school will have a cafeteria strike soon and we were told about it in March.

              That’s great!

              Not about you not having a guillotine, of course, but about the notifications about impending strikes. I think that’s sufficiently fair giving people a head’s up—even though it gives management time to prepare and fend-off the strike’s effects.

      Isn’t the EU currently pushing to allow third party app stores on devices?

      https://www.theverge.com/2022/3/25/22996248/apple-sideloading-apps-store-third-party-eu-dma-requirement

      If they are pushing in that direction I wonder how that will gel with this kind of approach from France? Maybe EU law is a better place to remedy this rather than French law? Maybe an appeal after this case is settled will allow a more reasonable judge to oversee the case.
