Would've been good if they had been able to come up with a realistic example that could be problematic, but they have not made the case at all while Nvidia would forego the EU market.

Like the gatekeeper designation in the DMA, or the threshold for assigning a data privacy officer in GDPR, you mean?

Apparently the author founded the "Center for New Liberalism". I tried to find out how that's funded, but could only see memberships that gives access to a 700+-person Slack, and couldn't find what the dues are. Would be

It seems to hinge on extrapolating from Apple not doing AI in the EU that NVidia might leave the market, harming Mistral.

Which regulations are you referring to? Do those not apply just to those that have managed to obtain a dominant role, ie not startups entering the market?

I was this close to looking up myself to see if Switzerland had any fifth amendments. Happy to see someone took it upon themselves.

I'm assuming that nothing in Switzerland is protected by the fifth amendment.

Huh. So I tried to look it up just now and I'm not sure if I understand the difference. (To the extent that there is one - apparently one can mean the other, but I imagine they're usually used as follows.) It looks like "je

They haven't gotten removed yet, just compartmentalised and some important existing ones grandfathered in, I believe. And none of that has happened in Chrome, as far as I know.

I think if you're hoping to just pick up a phone, install PostmarketOS, and start using it, it's not for you yet. From https://postmarketos.org/state/ (linked from the "Install" page): > postmark

"G" as in "gadverdamme". (Native speaker here - but of Dutch, the language known for its proper hard Gs. Unless you're from the South.)

They're saying the two-party system is to blame. Although one could've hoped that the current situation would've pushed the Democratic Party to work to open it up.

Sorry yes, "couldn't do"! What an unfortunate mistake, completely changes the meaning.

I haven't read anything, but if he said "I fear that" rather than "I think that", that's the difference between cautioning against and predicting. The headline makes it seem like he was predicting.

And if it's Apple's experience, how did the writer know? Does Apple have that strong of an institutional memory, or were they just assuming?

Sorry, I was mostly referring to the fact that they claim to know what the aim was when introducing the feature, even though they might not have been there. Pure curiosity.

Oh no, I didn't mean at all to say it was unreasonable. I meant that the paragraph claims to know what the aim was when introducing the feature, so I wondered if they actually knew that, or just guessed that that was the aim (because i

I see this not as compromising with the ad industry, but as giving regulators another stick to beat the ad industry with to get them to stop user surveillance.

There were plenty of people who actually did not understand though. For example, I've seen people claim it's Google's Topics API, or that it was Anonym technology. In other words: just because you understand a thing doesn&#x2

This mostly seems the result of Cloudflare idiosyncrasies though. I don't recognise many of these commands (eg what is wrangler?), but we're running it as a regular Node app on a regular server, and it doesn't feel second-cla
