Go get a demo at an Apple Store. They won't show you Mac Virtual Display and the clarity of the AVP/iPad apps is good, pictures/experiences are breathtaking. MVD is not that clear, full stop. Also, try to resize an app with text down to the size you would use for a window on your computer. You can't. I constantly found myself wishing to make apps smaller but you can't and so you get limited quickly on what you can fit in front of you/in your field of vision. I even wish there was a way to switch to the iPhone app instead then so I could see more. I wonder if part of that limitation is that the text won't be as legible if it's smaller.

It was, and did. The FBI and CIA both knew pieces of the 9/11 plot before it was executed. That's not conspiracy, it's plain fact. Intelligence agencies have a very hard time working together. The domestic unit tasked with tracking Al Qaeda did not know agents were on American soil, when the CIA and NSA (foreign intelligence) did.

The Looming Tower by Lawrence Wright is a great book about this, and the TV show by the same name (a Hulu original) is also fantastic and largely accurate to the true story. Rare gem for Hulu.

On Reflighting: Clarity, Focus, and Purpose
Products accumulate extraneous features over time. As this feature creep degrades core value, user experience suffers under the weight of bloated systems.

Reflighting provides renewal.

By methodically reevaluating each function, we thoughtfully peel away the accretion of the unnecessary, retaining only that which solves real user needs or delivers tangible value. With clarity of purpose regained, we redirect freed resources to sharpen focus on the vital few functions that underpin competitive advantage.

Similarly, in our personal lives, long-held commitments and beliefs burden us. Obligations that once energised now exhaust. Opinions once certain, no longer serve. Yet we cling to them out of habit, spreading our effort and attention thin.

Periodically offloading this excess baggage through reflighting realigns our identity and purpose. We regain lift, channeling momentum into pursuits that truly matter.

For both products and people, continuous reassessment sustains forward velocity. We move at a cadence that balances essential innovation with reduction of the non-vital, shedding the ancillary to refocus energy on the core.

> I think if they could get away with it, they'd stop shipping Terminal.app as soon as they were able.

I don’t think believe that’s true. Apple has always treated the Mac differently than its other devices, even back in the iPod days and before. One can still see that today in how for instance they made M-series Macs capable of booting third party operating systems when it would’ve been much easier to not do that, with the architectural base of these machines being iPads. macOS has had some bolts tightened in the past decade, but all of that has legitimate value in security and stability and much of it is being mirrored by other desktop operating systems (e.g. immutable system, moving things out of the kernel to userspace, etc).
Yes you can only mirror one screen from a Mac, but he's using the AVP as the computing device itself.

So it's not multiple desktop screens it's multiple windows from locally running apps.
So what would you call a license that meets OSI's open source definition [1] but has not been OSI-approved?

arrogant, as in: do you really believe that your project is so different that one of the existing approved licenses will not do? (addressed to the hypothetical project with such a license)

i mean, i am with bruce perens who believes that we need to rethink licenses completely to address many problems that have come up recently: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38783500 and i guess this article does hints at some of the problems that need to be addressed. but coming up with a license that is in the spirit of FOSS and yet solves some of these problems is a non-trivial task that i do not believe an average developer or company is capable of by themselves, therefore it is very unlikely that your non-approved license is really worth it.

by all means please participate in the process of developing a new license, but do not actually use such a non-approved license until there is a broader consensus that this new license actually is worth it. otherwise it's just making things complicated for no good reason.
I guess I assumed that recycling advocacy groups did some due diligence, dug a bit deeper, took the trouble to find out how everything was going. And now we are claiming that nobody checked.

I guess that's the "singularity" we've been told about - when the amount of bullshit is so massive that it completely overwhelms any attempts at making sense of anything online or find anything.

The debate would be for a new meaning of the term open source, which has already been established. People can create a new meaning but it doesn't change the original meaning of it, which I like to call the true meaning.

The license is far from being the only thing about open source. What makes open source what it is are its triumphs, such as the popularity of Linux and how many developers prefer open source tools and platforms. However, using a license like the Business Source License indicates a lack of belief in the vision of open source, and a need to exert control.
So I take it you agree they have not been told to implement any APIs, and retract your original claim?

We'll see how the EC reacts to what Apple did with PWAs. The DMA is not a checklist of specific features. It doesn't talk about PWAs, just like it doesn't talk about specific APIs. It's basically just very broad requirements for the big platforms to open up for competition.

By killing PWAs, Apple is preventing competition on both areas where they have DMA mandates, iPhone apps and browsers. (Yes, you can make a browser, but better support for PWAs would have been one of the easier selling points for competing browsers. By artificially disallowing them, Apple is removing that feature from play.)

Now Apple is pretending that their choices were to do a ton of work, or to cripple PWAs as both an app store competitor and as a feature of browser differentiation, and oh golly they just had to do the latter. But in reality they had the third choice of just opening up the platform, which is pretty much what the regulations tried to achieve. That they chose to do extra work to cripple the competition rather than open up seems like the kind of things regulators won't be happy about.

Same here, 3 2K screens were better than it. Also, re: using your phone, that was a huge issue for me. I would get notifications for things I couldn't do on the AVP (at least not well, worst of all was text input) or just notifications only on my phone that I wanted to read but couldn't though the AVP passthrough. I hope they do an on-demand "Mac Virtual Display" for your phone in a future version so it looks clear.

Values-based positions are all too rare.

The continued hope is that they create some momentum somewhere else. The web ought be more than a parallel, it ought be provibg itself better. Proof will be in the pudding.

Extensions definitely are a "can't get that any other way" example. And I struggle to imagine not being equipped with form auto-saver features, history enhancers, customizable dark mode, and other benefits. But it still feels like just a start.

> they're not trying to win over users; they're trying to extract money from them.

Fair enough. But was there ever an attempt to extract money and/or data from the users through third-party apps? For example by forcing third-party to serve ads?

I'm actually questioning if it's in the long-term monetary interest of big tech to force users into subpar experiences. My guess is that current big tech apps don't even serve their purpose of maximizing profits & data extraction optimally. I'd expect a talented indie dev to be able to provide a better UX & monetizing users at the same time.

I mean if we want to go the evil route, we might even incentivize 3rd party devs. Let everyone build a Twitter or Reddit client, but they must serve ads and might get a fixed or percentage share. If someone can build an app where users actually like and click on the served ads, great.
Being that us meatbags operate on a pretty limited power budget I'm guessing there is still a lot of algorithmic optimization to be done, and those algorithms will need hardware to run on.

> A note to writers: when you find yourself writing a paragraph defensively justifying alienating your intended audience, take a walk around the block and think really hard about whether doing so is a good idea.

I really dislike this kind of "geez, read the room!" thinking. Not everybody needs to have the same opinion about everything. Not everybody should. The opinion of "the room" or in your terminology, the "intended audience", is ever-evolving and the way that happens is via people talking and writing about their own opinions that aren't identical to the prevailing views of the time.

But it's fine that you disagree with the author about this and are unswayed by the author's arguments. Others will agree with the author and be unswayed by your counter-arguments, and that's fine too. Still others will change their views after reading the article or responses to it, and that's also fine. Maybe the prevailing view will shift as a result of all this discussion, maybe it won't. This is how discourse works!
It's disheartening to learn of this development. Although my personal usage of Mozilla Hubs is limited, I frequently utilize NTT DOOR [1], which is built upon Mozilla Hubs and enhanced with additional features. Mozilla Hubs has gained some traction in various sectors across Japan, particularly among those eager to join the "Metaverse" trend. However, with the potential decline in upstream support, we may witness a reduction in its adoption, as maintaining and securing it could become challenging. On the other hand, NTT DOOR is overseen by a team that appears quite capable, especially given their ability to create extensions. Nevertheless, there's a lingering concern about its long-term viability as well.

It's not a perfect product by any means. The question is, has Apple backed itself into any corners? Can the battery life or field of view be improved? The resolution? The weight? I think in all cases, Apple has a technical path forward.

Despite its imperfections, wow is it fantastic. I'm writing now from a Mac virtual display (which, yes, is a bit blurry). But how could I return this thing? It's the most impressive product Apple's ever made and it's genuinely useful. It's not an expensive novelty by any means. What an achievement.
Nothing wrong with asking the question. There might not be any practical applications in those fields, and it could still be a worthwhile, interesting, fun question.

But in this case, I'd bet that developing the math needed to solve it would end up with practical consequences. I think of your question sort of like "what are the practical applications of teaching an AI to master Starcraft?" Even if playing Starcraft isn't practical, the existence of such an AI implies lots of practical consequences.
