Ok, fair. Then allow app developers to explain this in the app and provide a link to the external website and let the user decide what they prefer.

The issue is that you can't publish an app unless you hide this information from the user and as a consequence most users aren't even aware that alternatives exists.

Let the user freely decide and you can't charge how much you want for the convenience of your service, even more than 30%, nobody would care.
Many years ago I would have said Apple would never leave the EU, but now I’d say it’s firmly in the “possible” territory.

Maybe it’s a win for both parties of Apple leaves the EU, though I’m skeptical any homegrown EU product would have any traction unless they also force Google to divest Android.

I’d love to know how much work it is for Apple to comply and deal with the EU regulatory environment.

Interesting times.
Yes, of course I was too quick: I was trying to suggest to use a single bracket char in the command just as TFA uses the comma. But it turned out that an opening bracket wouldn't work with some non-bash shells. So I was doubly wrong.
Metaphors help communicate ideas. I think everyone knows they are imperfect. Nobody thinks because we say the brain is a 'computer' that there are chips in there.

On other hand, scientist/philosophers that attempt to makeup 'new' words just to avoid this, sometimes make it worse and their ideas become even more obfuscated.
The Stockholm Metro and public transport uses QRs, but on phones, and it's awful. The huge variance in people's shitty broken, dim phones make it take 3-4 tries sometimes. Infuriating! The scanners themselves are brilliant though, but nobody wants to stand in line for some printer machine and need to carry a flimsy bit of paper around.
the point is as artificial
as any of the rest of it

Deep diving or search would be tough to do in real time. Just rubber ducking while listening to economics and business type podcasts works great, accepting the limits of the tool and domain. It's no scholar in your pocket yet.

Sometimes hosts/guests gloss over topics as they are trying to sell their book as the one way find out more. LLMs can enhance the conversation as if the host drilled in a little further on some sore point similar to if it were a popular post with lots of comments. Not that those will be free of LLM influence for much longer.
Society should evaluate which devices actually need to run on batteries. It makes me feel odd if i have to replace the batteries in a wall clock that is like half a meter next to a power socket. Wall clocks never get moved around...
isn’t doing nothing actually MORE harmful for this military industrial complex? who cares if boeing is part of the industrial complex if it’s manufacturing junk? garbage in garbage out…
That is nice, and I really resonate with that. But I would be interested to know: would you still tip if you knew they now no longer catered for the broke college student? Are you tipping as a thank you to how they treated your historical self, or an incentive to keep up a good culture? For me I would feel conflicted about tipping and not tipping
Wow! I’m not sure what our rates was in Sweden but IIRC our cheapest rate was at least 20 times higher than that. (In the 90s.)
It's not arrogance to think you can create a tool that does one thing the brain does better than the brain for less power. It's arrogance to think that you can do everything the brain does for less power. Living organisms have been relentlessly honed for the ability to efficiently solve varied problems across ~10^40 experiments over the age of the earth. If some marginally intelligent monkeys think they can build an error corrected, digital system that encompasses all of that functionality while using less power, I'd say that's obviously arrogance, particularly if it hasn't been the subject of a civilizational drive for a few millennia already.
Good but I have a feeling this is yet one more of those maneuvers where everyone says their line in the movie but in the end nothing is actually done other than some slap on the wrist for show. Too many powerful people and interests for Justice to work.

And no, unfortunately this is not a tinfoil hat view. There is a long history of Boeing getting away with murder already.
> What I see is that the military industrial complex is bigger than anyone (including myself), can comprehend

Plenty of people comprehend it, from the JCoS through the GAO.

> If they go down, so does our country. It's that simple.

Sure. The same isn’t true about Boeing going bankrupt. (Bankruptcy doesn’t, like, blow up the factories.)

Part of the system’s vastness is its ability to survive some heads rolling.

Tomato/Potato.

One mans analogy is another mans model.

Do you have some solution to this age old conundrum? How are we to use language to describe new things without using any existing words?

Of course, just make up new words is one solution. But for a lot of things, that gets to also be confusing, and not help communicate an idea.
US governments, state and federal, have subsidized US EVs to the tune of about $350B, plus or minus $100B.

Would be a nice enticement too.
Yeah it’s not proof the Boing execs will go to jail, no one said it was. OP is the one who brought that up in the first place, but they are using it to show it won’t happen. Which makes no sense.

I dunno, if it were me making this argument, I’d cite a case where a company was criminally charged and nothing happened. That would be a much stronger argument than using rhetoric.
> I choose Apple versus Android, because I want the safe and user friendly ecosystem Apple offers

And nobody wants to destroy the ecosystem. Just make it default, but not mandatory.
Surely, Apple will respond by artificially hampering one or more of their products in the EU and hence take away even the slightest reason to upgrade hardware in the name of Apple Intelligence.

Customers need a company that acts and reasons like an adult.
The population of EU is roughly 450 million compared to 330 million in the US.
Idk, does the same thing, but aestetically looks different. I guess I'm bigger fan of JSX than whatever Svelte approach is named.

But then, if I'd had a choice to work with next.js or pile of cow crap, I'd prefer crap.
The press release for this also mentions they are investigating Meta.
> Apple will do a lot to keep this cash cow at peak performance.

The problem is if Apple's obstinance leads them to loosing much more of their cash cow than if they had just given up a little.
While your response is sincerely appreciated, it entirely misses the point. I'm not arguing definitions or "language lessons". I'm saying that any reasonable person understands that every single instance of "unlimited" with respect to the definition of a product or service is, with few if any exceptions, are not actually unlimited.

Unlimited Coke refills at a soda fountain aren't unlimited. The human body is naturally limited by how much it can drink. Elide that natural limit and you still butt up against a person's stamina for doing objectively stupid things. Elide that limit and you're still limited by the amount of syrup on hand at that location.
If you have a liver from a serial killer, and commit murder, can you blame the liver?

The general argument is that the changes end up being annoying.

Simplest example would be 1st party apps only vs including 3rd party apps. Clearly there are implications around including 3rd party apps that would affect the operating system and thus user experience
I built it for myself primarily, some coworkers also started using it. No one has used it without my guidance at this point so I'm not surprised ;)

Regardless what you pressed, you should always get back to the help / start screen by pressing 'h'. (Make sure not to have focus on an input field)
Apple has invested more work into malicious non-compliance than it would have taken to simply do it right the first time.
> the author certainly doesn’t know

Can you read the author's mind? How do you know what they know?

It seems to me that perhaps all those things considered, they still think Boeing is at fault. It's not like you told us what the industry standard is, or any of that stuff.
EU is 450 millions customers, I don't see them missing out on this market. Add to the fact that they can also grow marketshare in a landscape which is still dominated by Android.
My manager is experiencing the same due to a bout of long covid.

The way it appears he is dealing with it, from my perspective, is he has delegated the things which require immediate memory/cognition to us and is leveraging his expertise to direct us at a higher level and trusting us to execute and feed back pertinent information when we next check in.

While I feel for his worsening condition he has managed to do negotiate this in a way that:

1. Leverages his knowledge, expertise and network to a greater degree

2. Given us autonomy that feels empowering, while not increasing our workload to pick up his perceived slack.
Why would apple leave the EU? It's a huge market, and I don't think there is a risk of their profit in the EU going negative because of some relatively small concessions. They can keep existing rules for the rest of the world and change them slightly for the EU. Unless they are afraid that other countries will demand the same if they budge?
I thought the same, but it turns out I have quite a number of friends (especially younger, who are sharing apartments with flatmates etc.) who don't have a TV or tablet, and who will just sit on their bed or couch with a laptop for netflix and such. This is totally anecdotal of course, but I do feel like it might be the device stats are quite different from what we might expect.

Yes. And they could contain errors even without OS and hardware. And practice clearly shows it. Proofs are easier to make on the same abstraction level, aren't they?

> I choose Apple versus Android, because I want the safe and user friendly ecosystem Apple offers.

Me too.

> The same goes with iOS on iPad. I'm very happy that my parents can use those devices versus a Windows machine (or even a MacBook) and know that they are pretty much safe from malware.

iOS (and Android) are very different position, security-wise, than desktop operating systems (Windows, Linux, macOS) because of the strong application isolation and permissions system. On a desktop OS ~any software you run has access to ~all your files (https://xkcd.com/1200/). Even as a die-hard desktop Linux user, we have to recognize that Apple leads in platform security, both in mobile and on the desktop. Take a look at Hector Martin’s (from Asahi Linux) thoughts on this.

> both my parents independently have moved on from built-in Safari to Chrome (independently), since that was the only browser name they know. And now they are in a much worse position privacy-wise than before. Which is certainly not in the spirit of the GDPR and DMA.

Two thoughts here: 1) the point of the GDPR and DMA is to give people the choice. In my opinion, choice is good. 2) people choosing things that hinder their privacy because they “don’t know better” is, well, an education problem.

Of course the GDPR/ePrivacy directive is notorious for lax enforcement (it’s ramping up, though) of illegal techniques and dark patterns like making it more difficult to reject unnecessary spyware cookies than to accept them. I predict the same will happen with the DMA.
This has been common in NZ since at least 2007. It's not really justifiable. Wages aren't 100% of the costs, plus open cafes and restaurants make more on public holiday days. Seeing as it's busier on a public holiday I just avoid going out to places on those days. It feels like a tax on people who don't have a cushy remote job who can time shift their eating out pleasure time.
> “I didn’t do anything wrong, all this has been probed and settled, nothing illegal, no wrongdoing was found, and I was paid,” he wrote.

one could make all manner of assumptions for why the denial is so generic

but it is generic

“nothing illegal” is precise

as is “no wrongdoing was found”

Your rant seems misguided, given you're talking about "downloads". The GP wasn't talking about downloading apps from outside the App Store, it was about Apple's anti-steering rules within the App Store

But in either case, if the user sentiment is as strong as you claim, Apple has nothing to lose in following the laws. The users will continue to demand installs and payments go via the App Store, and developers will have to continue providing that option or lose customers. Why do you feel so threatened by these laws? It sounds like you don't really have the confidence in 95% of the users agreeing with you.
Good. The way to fix it is still to break Apple up, but we might have to do the merry go round a few more times until regulators realise that.
China is a huge market and Google left. Anything is possible.
Neither of those things are remotely likely.
Apple seems to be falling pretty short of the letter of the law also.
> I hate this word, let's stop being gaslighted humanizing an evil multi trillion corporation as "people"

It's not gaslighting. People work for the company, and they decided. You're dehumanising them by saying they aren't human.
I think enabling Putin is putting a lot more than thousands of lives at risk
My worry is that by making it very clear that Gren is a fork of Elm, people will assume that what works in Elm also works in Gren. It won't.

Gren isn't compatible, and will never be compatible, with Elm. There is different syntax, API's and runtime characteristics. And it will continue to diverge more and more.

That Gren is a fork, was mostly to save development time. You can expect that much of the compiler and core packages to be rewritten in a few years.
AlmaLinux user here, happy with it, everything works.

Spotify has north of 50% market share in Europe. Apple doesn’t even come close.
It seems I'm in a minority thinking this is not that great... wind can blow the hat (or the thing from the generalized idea) into traffic, or onto a baby, or any other place to upset people. Also, if the recipient can't/doesn't pick the thing up, then it's littering. From the technical perspective finding heads in a video is not that impressive nowadays... So, I don't get all the excitement...

It's not manufacturing junk. It's manufacturing weapons of mass destruction at a massive scale. A few of their planes malfunction, ok. The bombs they produce are a different story. They work, and they fuck up thousands of lives in a short amount of time.
What type of regulatory action would you like to see on Spotify?
If nobody will use it, then what's the harm in offering it?
> I wonder if this will come down to an arguement of 'letter' and 'spirit' of the law; clearly Apple's lawyers will say 'notarization' is for security which is explicitly allowed under the DMA. However Europe will argue Apple takes it 'too far' and has imposed terms to make it less likely for developers to use new app stores and thus undermines what the law is intended to do.

If the commission wanted to move faster then they should just move the notarization to a neutral third party, as we do for DNS.
That project could become a really nice military startup. You could use it in order to drop bombs on the heads of Russian fascist soldiers in Ukraine.
LINQPad is probably the most useful mini-IDE that I've ever used for .NET development and I employ it every single day for prototyping, scripting and experimenting. Joe Albahari developed it and he's renowned for his C# .NET expertise, so you're in great hands with this utility.
But capitalism is structured as a system where people above put lots of pressure on people below. There are other systems that are not so top heavy that may alleviate the people-under-pressure problem. Soviets were very top heavy too.
> T=Not allowing link out and price discovery is not only anti-market, it's anti-poor.

What shops list their own markup? If I go to a supermarket I don't see what the markup is the shop adds. I just see the price here vs the price there. I did that when I didn't have any money as well. It seems to work.
I guess reasonable fine for this breach is 30% of revenue in EU just like in the app store.
It can. If you pass the compiler a output name that has no extension it will produce an executable (js with shebang), and if it has a .js extension it will output a pure js file.
Don't worry about it, as it is difficult to explain on a public forum...

Have a great day, =3

I never said people aren't human, I said apple aren't human they're a corporation.

And people who knowingly leverage their gigantic corporation to make life worse for others in the name of shareholder profit can and should be dehumanized. There nothing humane in hurting others for greed.
Funny how Spotify keeps getting hit with GDPR fines if that's the case.
Incorrect.

Proof by exhaustion, also known as proof by cases, proof by case analysis, complete induction or the brute force method, is a method of mathematical proof in which the statement to be proved is split into a finite number of cases or sets of equivalent cases, and where each type of case is checked to see if the proposition in question holds.
If Apple left EU, in the long run it would be very damaging to their market worldwide because of network effects.

Suddenly other governments (and people) would have a very real exhibit that life just goes on and that one company is not as important as previously thought.

My guess would be that they used plastic chip cards before (those often also do NFC) and only switched to the paper cards later - at which point they either deliberately copied the whole design including the chip contacts to make the switch as unnoticeable as possible or just lost or couldn't be bothered to find the original design files and scanned an existing card for the print template.
If you think that is bad, wait until we need to start decommissioning electric vehicles on scale. I've worked on fossil fuel vehicle EOL for quite a while and a very large amount of recycling happens, there is literally zero waste. Nobody I know wants to do the same for electric vehicles, they are simply too dangerous.
Maybe it's just me, but I'm not so much of a fan of Dialogs as demonstrated here, especially when there are a lot of characters, each of which have a different role that is only communicated by going to a separate page to read about them. If I wanted to explain something in an article I was writing, I would just explain it in the same way I'd do everything else, with a separate paragraph, maybe with some links to relevant sources that I used to become familiar with the topic too
This is a fundamental misunderstanding which keeps causing trouble for US companies:

In European law, the letter of the law doesn't matter. The intent does.

It's called teleological interpretation, here's an EU document with a bit more background: https://www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes/BRIE/2017/5993...

Key quote:

> When interpreting EU law, the CJEU pays particular attention to the aim and purpose of EU law (teleological interpretation), rather than focusing exclusively on the wording of the provisions (linguistic interpretation). This is explained by numerous factors, in particular the open-ended and policy-oriented rules of the EU Treaties, as well as by EU legal multilingualism. Under the latter principle, all EU law is equally authentic in all language versions. Hence, the Court cannot rely on the wording of a single version, as a national court can, in order to give an interpretation of the legal provision under consideration. Therefore, in order to decode the meaning of a legal rule, the Court analyses it especially in the light of its purpose (teleological interpretation) as well as its context (systemic interpretation).

Facebook, too, tried rules-lawyering EU regulations only to be slapped with a huge fine. This shit doesn't fly here.
No infrastructure.

> This forum will never understand is that 95% of Apple users DO NOT want to go to a random website and download to save a few bucks

Who said they will download from a random website, or that the only advantage is to save a few bucks?

The advantage might be to get software that is not allowed on the app store, or to use a source that you trust more than Apple, or an otherwise better curated source - I would guess a high proportion of F-Droid users trust the software installed from there or find it easier to get what they want than in the Play Store. Why can someone not similarly improve on Apple's store?

> before Apple everything was download, pay and pray.

never had many problems myself.
Hopefully they get around to banning disposable vapes sooner rather than later, the needless waste with those is just ridiculous. All vapes use lithium batteries due to their high current requirements, but the disposable ones simply have no way to recharge the battery.

Not to mention the fire risk, the vape juice usually runs out before the battery fully discharges so they end up being thrown away still partially charged, which makes them more unstable and eager to catch fire if they get damaged during processing.

The App Store is content distribution in the exact same way that Spotify is. Third parties produce content, that content is delivered to users by an intermediate.
I really wish there was some sort of "aggregate" score in Opus Magnum. The specialized solutions are typically really ugly and unnatural.
“Loud pipes save lives” is a contentious topic that has some influence on this. Not being noticed in a car is very much less dangerous than on a bike, so it makes sense that more motorcycles are louder as for some of them, that is the goal. People also tend to ride motorcycles because they want to rather than have to, which makes them more likely to tweak their bikes and exhausts.

One of the things I like about driving an electric car is that I can accelerate stupid fast without causing a scene, but I have no interest in an electric motorcycle.
EU does not assert that Apple is a monopoly. It says Apple abuses its "dominant position on the market".

Spotify surely enjoys a dominant position, but im not sure it abuses it. Certainly, the record labels hold a very dominant influence over Spotify.
What does 'open source AI' mean, anyway?
I know. Tests are not the same thing – usually they check only a subset of all possible cases.
Money is rarely a limiting factor as much as the desire for more money.
Yes it's called a monopoly and this is precisely what the EU is trying to avoid.
