just ranting
"they are only targeting American companies" yeah, the DMA is supposed to protect the EU single market
"the fines are to make money" the EU budget dwarfs even Apple's so I'm sure them fining companies a few million dollars makes a huge difference
"they want control" yeah that's how market regulations work
"they should just leave" and leave behind a super lucrative market
"how dare they force Apple to open up app stores etc" I still don't see how that's a bad thing for consumers

TIL: Die Begriffe "Stockwerk" und "Geschoss" sind streng genommen in der Fachsprache nicht synonym: ein Geschoss entsteht durch das horizontale Einziehen ("Einschießen") von Querbalken in einen Ständerbau; ein Stockwerk dagegen ist quasi eine in sich abgeschlossene Kiste, die auf andere Stockwerke aufgelegt werden kann, ohne dass es senkrecht durchgehende Elemente braucht.
