CNN: "Ukraine’s ammo shortage becoming more difficult by the day. Around Bakhmut an M109 position we visited only got smoke rounds."

russia doesnt care about its own casualties, thats why they keep taking territory one costly tree line after another. NATO and EU inability to agree to anything to actually help Ukraine is only emboldening putin into planning for Estonia, Poland or Lithuania next.

How else do you prop up the S&P 500?
I heard that Apple now supports WebPush. So you should be able to use this. You may need to set up the subscription in Safari but IIUC after clicking the notification you could be redirected to an app.

Exactly , they weren't praising them for their monopolistic behavior
There are alternatives already?
I highly recommend anybody who finds the written version of this compelling, to listen to the actual full clip on YouTube that is the radio exchange between these characters. For me, it was very chilling when I first heard it, and still is chilling anytime I relisten to it.

Only ever played MGS5 but those games have spawned alot of highly interesting and a lot of times, deeply personal discourse.

Each game certainly set out to bring different things to the table with each addition to the story and saga.

Barring Metal Gear Survive of course... That was quite the notorious wetfart that has it's own intriguing context and backstory for anybody interested in Konami drama.
Yes, I think so.

So apple wants to require they approve your app and then charge you €0,5 for every time it is installed for the privilege of avoiding using their infrastructure. It is honestly insane. I don't know the DMA in detail but I hope it is not and gets smacked with fines. And I hope if this is allowed the DMA gets updated so this is no longer allowed.
I think there is too much emphasis on paying artists

For professional musicians that is a big deal

Professional musicians are a tiny proportion of musicians

For those of us who create for the love of creation payment is not the point. The main point is reach. Can I point you at my music, where you can access it without me, or you, having to be Uber geeks?

We want you to come to our shows. We would like to cover our costs, Yes, but the most important part is having an audience for our art

The cost of recording music is orders of magnitude less than it was, getting it available, with out becoming hostage tio horrid platforms (looking at you, Google) is very hard

I am hoping this will help
>Meanwhile any site with a functional search mechanism would be offering more than what Bandcamp offers.

Not to the artists who put their music there.
Apple Opens Up NFC to Third-Party Apps in EU, Allowing New Tap-to-Pay Options
*First annual install.* This is the first time an app is installed by an account in the EU in a 12-month period. After each first annual install, the app may be installed any number of times by the same account for the next 12 months with no additional charge. A first annual install may result from an app’s first-time install, a reinstall, or an update from any iOS app distribution option — including the App Store, an alternative app marketplace, TestFlight, an App Clip, volume purchases through Apple Business Manager and Apple School Manager, and/or a custom app.

*One million free first annual installs.* Membership in the Apple Developer Program includes one million first annual installs per year for free for apps distributed from the App Store and/or alternative marketplaces.

*Fee for each first annual install over one million.* Developers will pay a Core Technology Fee of €0.50 for each first annual install over one million in the past 12 months.
WebKit does support the same extension API as Firefox - it’s an open standard. How you install them, bundled in a native app from the App Store, is the annoying clunky part.
check out r/dumbphones on reddit for examples. Most of the requests are "I want a dumbphone that does spotify, whatsapp, car naivgation, my banking apps, uber, podcasts, and facebook." Sometimes people point out that this is not a dumbphone, but they get shouted down.
No one should buy HP printers anymore when there are much better options. I personally recommend Brother.
Apple is never gonna financially recover from these impossible demands.

Come on now, that is utter nonsense. Apple has simply found a way to make even more money out of what seemed like a bad deal for them. They are not recuperating anything, they are increasing revenue.

I polled some coworkers, all of whom are younger than me, asking if the numbers "88x31" had any particular meaning to them. Not a single one has apparently experienced this.
> My fear for end users is that once an alternative App Store opens or direct side loading is allowed it will reduce users options and harm the users ability to effectively control privacy.

This is like some weird 1984 double-speak. How does letting users install Apps from more stores "reduce their options"? Would you have "more options" if I told you that you're only allowed to shop at Amazon.com and your browser will block any competing online retailers? Are you being harmed by the fact that you can buy products from more than one online store?

And the whole secondary argument is some kind of joke right, as 80% of every "free" app in the App Store requests data on your location, sensitive privileges, and all of them use coercive techniques to trick users into accepting. Whatever approval process Apple is is using with the App Store is far from protecting users.
SVN was obsolete around 2010; it just had a lot of inertia from existing projects.
> FYI the reason is that the GPL would require you to hand over the signing keys. If you sign a GPLv3 licensed bootloader like GRUB, you're forced to also make public the signing key... which defeats the purpose.

That seems to be a ridiculous interpretation of the GPL (no personal offense meant, I'm sure you're a fine person but this idea is genuinely very silly).

Signatures on binaries are not part of the source code, and therefore the GPL isn't concerned with them.

Think of:

- every signed binary for an open source app on a Linux distro or Windows install

- Every open source web app delivered over a TLS cert

Nobody has ever considered that the private keys used to sign the package, executable or web site cert to be required by the GPL.
It's the corporate equivalent of throwing a tantrum. A far cry from the professional image they try to project.
The NBA would be a very different game if an AI called things by the book. The first season would be _hilarious_. Some games wouldn't go a minute without a call for travelling.
Funny, I literally left a comment promoting Brother as you left this one. You speak the truth. :)
Genuine question: does the `webpki` crate provide a good path building implementation?
Are you wanting to play the stock market for fun? To get rich quick? Or to build wealth in the long term? You need to decide on your motives.

Since you're still young, this is the best time to get a solid long-term strategy in place, but you need to look at your finances holistically. First, if you have any debt other than a mortgage, get it paid off. If you don't have enough savings to cover 6-12 months of living expenses in case your income dries up, get that in place. After that, whatever is left over after covering your living expenses month to month, just put it in the S&P.
Since the frequency can be adjusted based on the amount its stretched - such that in the 'short-squshed state its better for 'ground' users - and stretched for satellite comms -- could one of these be 'Funnel-shaped' so that you have a wide, but squished 'ground'section - and then it funnels to a stretched out length for satts?

Or can you only have one frequency per form?
Apple: 3rd-party app marketplace creators must have €1M letter of credit
If you consider consciousness as the soul, then yes. Most countries in the world, have one or another form of anti-animal-cruelty laws, which are universally applied to all mammalian species, and to considerably lesser extent, birds and esp. reptiles. These laws are admission of the belief in consciousness of animals, esp. mammals.
Exercise-induced asthma is likely caused by dehydration of the airway surface: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6834710/

Increasing the air temperature is not enough, you also need to increase humidity. It also helps to keep the body hydrated by constantly drinking water with electrolytes throughout the workout.
You can stick with the existing terms, or switch to the new ones (which is when the core technology fee kicks in) -- you only have to switch to the new ones if you want to use your own payment processor or distribute on another app store.

So they've basically made distributing popular free apps on an alternative app store really unappealing.
They makes sense. Have you considered using another filter? A box fan with a hepa filter or one that has appropriate sized holes may even work better for pollen and also be washable by default. Did you want the smarts in it if any? I'm hooking a plantower sensor to a purifier or you can use the Ikea air quality detector to smart trigger it. https://esphome.io/components/sensor/pm1006.html
I don't expect many EU apps to bundle Chrome because they can't use it outside the EU and the benefits of bundling a different browser engine for in-app browsing would be limited for the types of basic browsing that is typically done inside a non-browser app. Additionally, Apple is imposing additional requirements on apps that embed alternative browser engines, including requiring apps to be updated within 15 business days of a browser engine update and requiring the app to only be available in the EU.

As a result, I would expect Chrome/Firefox/Edge/Opera to ship their own browser engines on iOS but am doubtful that many other apps will embed Chromium/Gecko with the possible exception of apps that only operate in the EU.

I strongly disagree with that. Apple and Google have both spent billions developing and maintaining their respective platforms. A government entity shouldn’t be able to overreach and regulate how they are able to maintain and distribute their own platform.

If Apples decisions were truly so anti-consumer, then consumers would use a different platform, such as android. This is as a developer who has to pay the App Store fees.

All this regulation has done is make the app acquisition experience on iOS worse as a whole and laid a minefield of vague legal regulations and lawsuits yet to come.
> Code submitted for UEFI signing must not be subject to GPLv3 or any license that purports to give someone the right to demand authorization keys to be able to install modified forms of the code on a device. Code that is subject to such a license that has already been signed might have that signature revoked. For example, GRUB 2 is licensed under GPLv3 and will not be signed.

It does according to MSFT lawyers: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/hardware-dev-center/u...
It is not per update and the most significant thing is that it is also for apps that get distributed outside the app store. Which is the real issue and that is definitely insane
The only entity you should be blaming is Apple themselves. They could have eased up their grip just a little bit to prevent this from happening, but instead they chose to be dragged kicking and screaming.
I don't agree that he has caused "suffering and evil.". Worst thing he has done is call some guy a pedo, and a jury found that there weren't even any damages. All he does is say things that I disagree with and I am completely ok with that.
I’d buy one from them!
> Unless this user has never used a device running something other than iOS, they've already dealt with this

Right, and they hate it. There's a reason why the iPhone and App Store were such a massive hit. People will choose convenience and security over freedom most of the time.
Apple patch their browser twice a year at best; Firefox gets updates every month, plus security ones. Apple is hardly a model of virtue in the sector.
WASI Launching Preview 2
How is the EU responsible for something Apple did?
There isn't user choice, only developer choice. For example, if I want to play Fortnite with my IRL friends I must download Epic Launcher. If I want to play WoW with my friends I must download BattleNet, if I want to play Counter Strike I must download Steam. I don't get much choice in what my already existing community of friends decides to play. This is likely to be mirrored in phone app stores. Need whatsapp/facebook/instagram on your phone? download the Meta Store! Don't like their T&C? Pound sand.

No company should be allowed to both sell the hardware and run the store for 3rd party content.

Edit: Actually I realize my thoughts on this are too emotional and my words aren’t coming out in a way that clearly communicates the issues I see.
Europe has a fairly blase attitude towards compliance costs in general.

For example, the official EC report on the cost impact of the EU AI Act finds that, for businesses who already have a Quality Management System (QMS), "An enterprise employing 50 persons would pay roughly EUR 159,000-EUR 202,000 for upgrading and maintaining the QMS, and bringing one AI product to market." (Notably, that estimate excludes costs of legal review.)

Around 200000 EUR for one product making use of AI would be seen as a heavy burden on startups and small enterprises in much of the world, but as far as I can tell, it's considered not particularly noteworthy by the EC.

Apple's cost structure announced today probably needs to be assessed in that context. Tech companies doing business in Europe are already used to various additional compliance-related costs of doing business.
Only if you agree to the new terms in order to publish on an alternative app store.

And surely you mean “thanks Apple”.

Agreed. The study was really important. The messaging around it was not so great.
What does this mean in practice?

1. Will banned categories like emulators, apps with adult content, or apps competing with apple’s products be available for iOS?

2. One step further, what about apps using internal apis?
According to panpsychism, yes. as do electrons.
Yeah sure, people will give up on YouTube and Netflix to use iOS, that's not going to happen. They'll suffer through using Safari to access those and that'll reduce the perceived value of iOS devices for future purchases since it will be seen as clunky and not seamless.

Not being able to use YouTube properly is also one of the reasons (among others) of why Windows mobile failed.

Youtube is a monopoly and there's no way around it.
Brother is enshittifying. They locked out non-OEM cartridges a year and change ago. Their hardware is good (for now), but their software practices are already to the point where I would instantly buy a Framework option and sell my current brother printer.

Glad this happened to be honest. Software shouldn’t be free.
For what it’s worth, this already happens on macOS for non-app store apps.
They’re 100% correct though
I think perhaps notarization is OK, for example you have to pass requirements to publish on other closed platforms like games consoles. What I think is very underhanded is charging per install for 'core services' rather than per app review. It's not like the app has to be notarized/reviewed for every install.
Yeah, we use an SQL formatter that is a bit too verbose for most tastes. But I do agree, PRQL is not really needed for simple queries - it starts to shine only when you have 5+ transforms (clauses).
Weather Underground used to have a great tool for this that they called Road Trip Planner, but it broke and they took it down several years ago rather than fixing it. While trying to find the exact name i found a forum post listing a couple alternatives (Accuweather, get-there-dry, Weather Channel, EDD) that are also 404 now. But the hunt did lead me to aviationweather.gov which has hour-interval forecast coverage for US airspace e.g. https://aviationweather.gov/gfa/#temps
Yeah the FDA is also being pretty lenient about allowing single-arm trials for gene therapy for this reason. The effect size needs to be obvious, but there's no reason to subject 3/6 deaf children to being a control if the risk is relatively low and the odds of success are high.

(also, for many of theses diseases, there's no plan B -- if it's not fixed in early childhood, you can never interpret sound).
>Bandcamp has always lacked a coherent vision.

Hard disagree.

The coherent vision for Bandcamp is:

- Give a place for independent musicians to upload their music to showcase and sell music and merch with one click and no fuss (and a reasonable sales cut).

- When fans buy music, they get the files (no app, software, DRM, or any bullshit).

That's all. Nothing more is needed.

The "alternative" doesn't offer that. It will fail.
>I imagine that’s where the commenter was coming from.

Not really :)

Maybe a green dot instead of a blue one when they are new/updated.
Oh, that makes sense and I agree. Appreciate the clarification!
Well, the various models on sites like civitai are definitely not created by institutions -- especially not the many, many NSFW ones. Yes, you can argue that they are relying on existing models from StableAI and the like, but even if those were never updated, that wouldn't stop the creation of new models on top of them. We kind of see this already; most checkpoint models and loras on civitai are still based on the older Stable Diffusion 1.5 rather than the newer Stable Diffusion XL.
Maybe "And" would have been better, but I assume you are not a gamer if you think that.

The reality is no, if I want to play Fortnite I have to install the Epic Game store. If I want to play GTA, even if I buy the game through steam I have to use the Rockstar Launcher.

There are multiple instances of this situation in gaming and it is the exact thing I don't want to happen here.

There are also mentions of web browser-based installs, but all apps are being notarized and encrypted.

Edit: Upon looking into this further, it appears that only marketplaces can be installed from a web browser. [1]

As far as I can tell, it's a bit more subtle than that. What Apple is doing is offering developers either the old deal (with all its now-illegal restrictions) or the new deal that removes the restrictions but adds the punitive Core Technology Fee. The intent is obviously for nobody with a large app to take the new deal, but for Apple to be able to claim that they've lowered the App Store fees and made allowed alternate stores.

I think Apple is delusional in thinking that the EU will buy into this scheme, but who knows.

This is complete nonsense, the permissions are enforced by the OS, not by the store approval process, same for accessing the various parts of the file system.
That is fine as an app store policy, but they also want to impose those requirements for apps outside the appstore. That is a problem, if I want to run a sketchy browser downloaded from github apple should not be able to prevent this

I hope another award system will arise that will not be as subvertable, will stay true to its origins, and so forth. But don't mind me, I thought pulling the bust of Lovecraft off of the World Fantasy Award was also a lousy move.
I assume the notarization is there to enforce this, which is why I think it is way worse than the fee itself.
I buy Apple products because in my opinion, they work on my behalf to protect my interests better than the other options available to me.

I think they have been leading in this area and by virtue of competition have pushed other vendors to do the same. I can’t imagine Android based devices would be nearly as privacy focused today if it weren’t for users moving to the Apple ecosystem in search of better security.
Even though it is now more than a year since Brother did this, the vast majority of the comments about them are overwhelmingly positive, despite cartridge antics being the majority of the reason why people hate HP printers and others.
