Prove_your_argument@piefed.social 1 day agoThe EU consumer laws you see get wider adoption tend to have copycat versions show up in other regions, usually too many regions to make it worth splitting the codebase.
GDPR is still basically just EU & California (with it’s specific version that overlaps substantially.) The rest of us are boned.
Apple’s side loading is just EU as far as I know.
I know some things have been widespread like USB-C, but those are few and far between… and I still buy devices with microusb and other dumb connectors because of course people are still selling them in brand new products years after the EU ban.
Brazil and Japan is adopting the “side loading”, so it is happening, but slowly.
There’s also a few examples of this, that we dont hear about in the media as much, but there’s some food quality and plastic standards that spreads.
I also remember something about airplanes and your rights when flights are delayed and stuff, but I cant recall it specifically.

Apple’s sideloading is somewhere between a ridiculously off the mark compromise they’ve lobbied for and malicious noncompliance.
