Not if the alternative is allowing other browsers to install them without a privacy and security architecture in place first. Even if Apple thinks it’s worth doing, that takes time, and web developers aren’t worth prioritizing for them when

I’m going to be level with you: there is nothing so great about PWAs that they’re worth mandating or protecting by law in any jurisdiction and the EU doesn’t owe it to you to try. Web developers like them. That’s it, and their PWA advocacy

I recall them being a slower burn that first year, still a great year but not to the degree of their other new products; but in under 3 years they were part of what I at the time called the San Francisco uniform: 1. AirPods 2. Apple Watch 3

Yeah, we’re a bunch of weirdos, but weird is not bad. There are good historical reasons for how we are, and not only has there not been a reason to proactively modify the status quo, even if we did, I suspect we would land on a similar arra

If it comes up in court you never want to rely specifically on knowledge of the UCC at trial without studying up on the particulars of how it has been modified or amended in a particular jurisdiction. That’s a good way to lose a case or at

It’s not flat, never has been, and you can measure by how many different legal jurisdictions (which cannot be measured by national borders alone) there are in the world how likely it is it ever will be. Let me put it this way: I don’t want

Sure, but from the perspective of web developers advocating for PWAs it was already crippled. Now it’s just disabled in the EU.

by SllX 3y ago
PWAs aren’t exactly great on iOS to begin with, and if that was their aim, it would make more sense to disable it worldwide rather than just the EU. They may well not bring it back for all we know, but if they are going to, it’s not going t

There is a chance that this is still a “disabled for now” feature. My understanding of the third-party browser requirements in the DMA is they have to be able to do anything Apple’s Safari can do if they want to, and while Apple’s built out

It’s a Council of Europe institution (note, not EU), so really there’s no common legal philosophy, just the relevant treaties and conventions. The European Court of Human Rights’ whole raison d’être is the European Convention on Human Right

No. They have a black hole you can toss your bug reports into, and they’ll swear up and down that past the event horizon they’ll see it, but you more likely than not will never hear about it again.

Side tangent: does Apple itself even use the term "smartphone" anywhere? The term has been dated for like 10 years, and I'm not sure they used it even before then to refer to their phones. Just curious. But for whatever it&#x

You would think so but no. Roads and highways belong to the State or Federal government (basically whoever built the damn thing). States and the Federal government are managed by an Elected government and their appointees, and are empowered

You are 100% correct. Waymo reports to the DMV, they do not report to you or me.
