All the other x86 games that can run on Mac through Rosetta.

Don't worry, they plan to gut Rosetta 2 so it will only support Mac games from the Intel era, that should help shrink that number! > Rosetta was designed to make the transition to Apple silicon easier, and we plan to make it availab

IIRC none of the popular text-based games of the 80s and early 90s incorporated even basic support for spelling mistakes, best-case scenario they had one or two synonyms baked-in and even that was uncommon!

All of them challenge Apple having exclusive app distribution, except the Epic injunction and the class action accusing Apple of doing a shit job.

Maybe, but if Trump wanted this to go away he's had a good 7 months to make that happen and he got a million dollars cash gift for his inauguration, certainly worth more than a gold bar trophy stand. This antitrust stems from a 2019&#

One tried-and-true classic is to delete old stuff, and GitHub has a lot of old stuff... in a couple years someone will calculate an amount they can save.

TV operating systems are a crap place to put ads and for Google/Apple they are already extensively monetized through fees on subscriptions, apps, and media rentals and purchases.

If they get you using their browser they have complete visibility and control over what you do, whereas Google and Apple control the dominant browsers and subsequently what anyone else can build upon them. Google has also locked-down defaul

Well yeah but no self-respecting developer has done this for 15 - 20 years... it's kind of a red flag these days!

Flex is great but tables are also a natural solution for anything grid-based, which of course layouts almost always are. The whole internet used to do stuff like this before the structural flow of content became important: <table

20 years ago it was much easier, you could ethically use tables for layouts which semantically did not make much sense, but in terms of code structure it was very simple: this table is the full size of the page, this cell is the header wit

Weakly might even be overstating it. Their roadmap has all this ambitious stuff like sideloading and competing app stores and allowing apps to link to their own payments, that they are aiming to have categorized into priority-buckets by th

Yeah that Google Search Deal is a 36% revenue share agreement for ad revenue stemming from being the default search engine, presumably that includes visiting a search result and then interacting with ads upon that page.

Yes it should have changed, but I disagree with your metric on measuring how change is required. By very-rarely revisiting these ~17 year old policies they avoided naturally-increasing their specs to foster and keep-up with more demanding s

I think it's a combination of three things: 1) AI threatens to take-over how you use your phone, it threatens to reduce apps to an API that it will use on your behalf so you don't use the apps yourself 2) By doing that it commodit

The only time I've seen migrations randomly fail was when others were manually-creating views that prevented modifications to tables. Using the migrations yourself for local dev environments is a good mitigation, except for that.

The grift is they are asserting a power and authority over everyone else that is not warranted. That's why they sabotaged Valve, Itch.io and adult content creators using the payment networks instead of taking them on in court or at th
