It seems really uncommon to me. I'm aware of only Israel doing this, while I know that Switzerland, Finland, Austria, Germany 15 years ago, when they still used the militia, and Thailand do not. In the US I believe only men have to register for the draft.

And why isn’t “a male” just as bad?
It is.
And what’s intrinsically wrong about those two as a noun?
Because you're reducing people to their characteristics of identity.
Why is it ok to call someone “a fire fighter“, “a journalist”, and not “a female”?
Because those are characteristics of their chosen functions.
It seems pretty easy to me, and I'm not even a native speaker.
My wife tells me that using as an adjective is just as bad and that I should always say “woman”, e.g. a woman politician and never a female politician.
Using a noun as an adjective is just weird, honestly.
If I ever started customizing my KDE Plasma, then that would be the last direction I'd ever go in.
in a couple hundred more countries
There are only around 195 countries in the first place and the EU represents 27 of them. So I'm afraid there isn't a couple hundred more available to fine Apple.
Premium product experience
The hardware is pretty premium, but the software is such a pain. As a result the overall experience is just "okay".
Because the FHS is a more sensible organization of files. Not every user needs to have their own executable for each program, that's a mess.
In the 15 years I've had a mobile phone I have changed around 5 times. But the last one was just an upgrade that added 40 GB of data while roaming in the EU, US and Canada to my previous unlimited plan for Switzerland only. That increased the cost from 20 to 25 Swiss Franks per month.
When I first played DOOM I was a bit afraid of the monster sounds. I would usually ask my little sister if she could color her things in my room so I wouldn't be alone while playing. I was way too bad to ever finish the game back then. I used to ask my father to make me "untötbar" (unkillable) because the word "unverwundbar" (invulnerable) was too difficult for me.
But I really like the reboot and DOOM Eternal especially.
DOOM Eternal on Nightmare is so much fun. I filled all three saveslots with runs of it. And then the DLC came out, kicking it up another notch!
Don't downvote this guy. He's mostly right. Creative works have copyright protections from the moment they are created. The relevant question is indeed if they have the relevant permissions for their use, not wether it had protections in the first place.
Maybe some surveillance camera footage is not sufficiently creative to get protections, but that's hardly going to be good for machine reinforcement learning.
