I tracked down the MythBusters in question:

well, they had some toothbrushes as a control which were not even in the bathroom, and they ended up with similar levels of fecal bacteria, meaning that these things are just everywhere. Only solution is to live in a sterile plastic bubble.

And if I was her, I’d wait til you were fingering my asshole then say, “Told you I’d put a ring on it”

sunshine I love you but you do post quite a few things that would really be better suited elsewhere, like !europe@feddit.org or in this case !vegan@lemmy.world

As a compromise, why not cross-post? that way your articles - which are often interesting and IMO discussion-worthy - will be seen by more people with relevant interests and thus might spark off more discussion. (Yes I messed up cross-posting this particular article and managed to double-cross-post - I deleted one but annoyingly both links still show up here 🤦 )

yeah, although this guy was a refreshing change with what seems to be a more objective analysis of the situation:

It very much is Apple’s problem, because Apple made it their problem. First off, the EU is only asking about Apple’s own App Store and how it prevents scams in there. It’s not asking about iOS as a platform.

However; Apple explicitly went out of its way to be malicious in how it implemented the DMA by requiring apps that want to publish in third party app stores to still be validated by them and pay for that too. If the EU wants them to answer for how scams get through that process, that is fair game too. Microsoft and Google don’t do this, so it won’t be a problem for them. Apple decided to create a malicious system to discourage users, and if the EU now comes knocking on their door for it, well… Karma.

Regardless, there were - and still are - plenty of apps in the App Store today that scam users into ridiculous weekly subscriptions, etc. So let’s not pretend Apple is doing a very good job even in its own app store either.
