I fucking love the EU. I wish we were still in it. 😞

You're welcome back if you like.

Actually I'm unsure the EU would allow the UK to rejoin without hefty consequences. It would set a bad precedent.

I'm sure they would be allowed back in, why not? But I doubt they'd get all their special treatements back.

Any of the EU nations I believe have veto authority on adding new members. And there's a lot of hate for the UK.

Really? Here in Germany I only ever heard that its stupid the UK left, but that's basically it. Didn't notice any hate.

From the outside (the US in my case) it looks like there's a lot of hate, but maybe it's just some well deserved schadenfreude. Everyone loves to laugh at Brexit voters.

I wouldn't call it hate by any means. We more feel sorry for them. Even though over 50% did it to themselves.

65.24% of the eligible voters to be exact, if you add the eligible voters who did not vote in the referendum to the leave voters [1].

tl;dr/highlight (to the titled fine):

While the verdict isn't public until its announcement "early next month", the report suggests Apple unfairly prevented apps from suggesting payment methods outside of the App Store.

Spotify submitted their (first) complaint in 2019.

Took quite a few years…

As it always does in politics. However if sth happens it's still worth it
