Actually it allows emulators on the standard Apple AppStore (after review). Ignited is working of submitting. Edit: source right from Apple’s website. This is the review guidelines for all apps on the AppStore, not just Europe. My guess is that they decided to include the emulators to keep control and retain customers in their store instead of them going elsewhere in EU. And they had to make it the same rule all over to keep it consistent.
Dolphin requires JIT compilation and that is still verboten under these new guidelines.
Further, the rule change says that these apps are allowed to "Download" ROMs, it doesn't say that they can just play anything they want, it in fact says that they have to provide an index of everything their software might run and where it is downloaded from. The rules are not going to allow emulators as we know and love them. It says specifically that the software offered under the guidelines must be offered via In App Purchases, so in all,
A) Emulators can exist
B) They can download ROMs
C) You have to comply with all applicable laws while you offer an emulator that allows people to download ROMs ಠ_ಠ
D) "Software offered in apps under this rule must: use in-app purchase in order to offer digital goods or services to end users."
Which in whole means that they've allowed (for example) Sega to offer an Emulator app that will run ROMs of games that Sega owns, but they have to sell the ROMs to you individually via IAPs.
Feel free to read their guidelines at https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#third-party-software, because there isn't any way in my reading to interpret those rules as allowing something like Higan to exist on the app store, the new rules are such a narrow carve out that it's hard to imagine that anyone is able to provide an emulator for iOS any time soon. They've opened a door that basically nobody could walk through and the people who could walk through it wouldn't need to because they could just distribute the ROMs with the emulator to begin with, it's business as usual for Apple.
Project 2025 partner floats repealing the 22nd Amendment and allowing Trump to serve a third term
The American Conservative, a right-wing blog and Project 2025 partner, published an article 💥advocating to repeal the 22nd Amendment💥 so that Donald Trump would be able to serve a #third#term.
The 22nd Amendment, ratified in 1951, limits a president to serving two terms. It was adopted after former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt was elected to a third and fourth term amid public concerns about a “long-term president.”
An article headlined “Trump 2028” published in The American Conservative advocates for the amendment’s repeal so that Trump could be eligible to serve a third term should he win the 2024 election.
The American Conservative is a partner of #Project2025, the conservative movement’s comprehensive transition plan for the next Republican presidency. Project 2025
— organized and led by The Heritage Foundation, a leading right-wing think tank
— is a policy and staffing initiative that threatens to weaken democracy, significantly roll back civil rights, and exacerbate climate change, among other issues.
#Peter#Tonguette, a contributing writer to the Washington Examiner who also regularly writes for The American Conservative, dubiously argues in his piece that the drafters of the 22nd Amendment could not have anticipated a president who would serve nonconsecutive terms, a possibility that he argues is a reflection of Trump’s supposedly unique popularity.
(Polls show that the majority of Americans have an unfavorable view of the former president.)
He says voters should not be “denied the freedom” to elect him to a third term.
Have you spent a year in birthright or why is a German so utterly, utterly delusional and brainwashed? Oh no wait, you never said you were German. You only said you grew up there. Going by your rhetoric, you’ve definitely listened to Israeli state propaganda, and a lot of it.
I did very early on say I’m amazed at the level of your delusions.
Israel is targeting kids. They know this. Everyone know this. There’s A METRIC FUCKTON OF OBJECTIVE EVIDENCE OF IT WHICH YOU KEEP IGNORING.
Carpet bombing an area in which more than 50% of the population are kids is targeting kids.
You’re simply so brainwashed you will never accept this. You’re like the Germans who allowed Jewish people to be genocided in plain view, yelling Heil Hitler, but after the war pretended they knew nothing about it.
You think Israeli state propaganda is more accurate than the rest of the world? The reports of the UN and all news sources, all fake, owned by Hamas? Because Israel is the only one denying what everyone can see. A despicable, horrible, purposeful genocide in which a vast majority of victims are women and children.
You are contributing to murdering women and children with that rhetoric, you sick f*ck.
#West Bank: Spike in Israeli Killings of Palestinian Children
On 19 December 2023, between 2000 and 2300 hours, IDF reportedly surrounded and raided Al Awda building, also known as the “Annan building”, in Al Remal neighborhood, Gaza City, where three related families were sheltering in addition to Annan family. According to witness accounts circulated by media sources and Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, while in control of the building and the civilians sheltering there, the IDF allegedly separated the men from the women and children, and then shot and killed at least 11 of the men, mostly aged in their late 20’s and early 30’s, in front of their family members. The IDF then allegedly ordered the women and children into a room, and either shot at them or threw a grenade into the room, reportedly seriously injuring some of them, including an infant and a child. OHCHR has confirmed the killings at Al Awdabuilding, although the details and circumstances of the killings are still under verification. IDF has not released any information on the incident.

AND the systemic targeting has been going on for years.
Since 1967, Israel has systematically targeted Palestinians including children – HRC 28th session – NGO Submission, Annex (Palestine Independent Commission for Human Rights)
How fucking childish does a person need to be to believe Israeli state porpaganda? You probably also think Putler didn’t have Navalny killed? That a healthy man in his forties just happened to drop dead?
Do you understand the size difference between Gaza and Afghanistan? Keep that in mind.
"Because of the antiquated Electoral College system the 2024 Presidential Election promises a razor-thin margin result between the two front-runners, Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Polling has shown how in a tight race RFK, Jr.’s candidacy could hand the presidency to the twice-impeached former president. Is it any wonder why Trump allies Steve Bannon and Alex Jones have expressed exuberant support for RFK, Jr.’s decision to run?"
To even use #Xpro / #Tweetdeck I must have this. No. I will not pay you #Elon a cent to use something that was free and very powerful as opposed by your weaker/buggier version of Tweetdeck. ( #Twitter / #X )
So they have a choice: continue to link to Canadian news sites (and pay for the privilege), or stop linking to Canadian news sites. There is no #third#option.
We made them choose; don't be mad they made a choice.
