Remember the DMA is also targeting Google. I find it interesting that Epic didn't even bother with an Android store until now.

> For example, I don't see side loaded NES emulators being allowed to have a JIT. Why not? If third-party browsers are allowed to have a JIT, why couldn't an emulator?

It's going to be interesting watching Apple's strategy unfold over the next few years. If third party stores prove wildly popular in the EU, then what? If people worldwide start demanding parity, how will Apple respond? Will they

It looks like the runtime is owned by the author of this article, who (from his bio) doesn't seem to be affiliated with Apple. Either way, I agree it seems like an odd choice.

It says the runtime is under GPL3. Does the copyleft apply to all Flatpak apps written using Swift?

Thank you, I really appreciate that :) Yes, I'm starting to realize that it's a wound that never heals but instead one you just have to live with. Not sure if this applies to you, but at least for me: One thought that's helpe

I really appreciated the author's candor about his father's passing and its impact on his relationship with software. My mom unexpectedly passed 14 months ago and I've similarly been feeling less excited about this industry s

I hear this a lot but it hasn't been my experience. My Shorts are almost all from channels I already enjoy, whereas my Reels are full of low-quality clickbait. Maybe the quality for each is directly tied to how much time you invest in

I think the topic is News relevant to Hackers , but I agree this link isn't the best representation of it. I think something like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39526455 would be better for reporting on this.

This is almost certainly confirmation bias, but I feel like mainstream publications write negatively about Spotify way more than they do iPhone or Google Search. We know both the latter have several issues of their own, but I feel like I le

I think I read that the "pays less" thing was FUD, but am unable to find it now. Will share if I can dig it up later :) Re podcasts: Very true, I didn't like that push either. FWIW, Spotify recently agreed to let Joe Rogan&#x
