Quandary: my Apple ID is linked to the UK, though I'm physically in the EU 50% of the time. I need to link my Apple ID to the EU in order to be able to install the app store. But this could really mess up my (UK-based) family settings, not to mention existing subs, media purchases, etc. In short: fuck Brexit

Me: it is your own fault you're being screwed by Apple, and so it is important that you stop purchasing Apple products (or you will compound the problem).

@markhughes @ottocrat All closed gardens operate similarly. I have had similar problems* with Android and Amazon. There is no difference between tech oligopoly players and choosing the least bad is not as good as regulating them all properly.

Heard today about someone who moved to Ireland but kept UK driving licence as long as possible allegedly bc no mechanism for putting points on it. 🤔🙄
