I suggest that everyone here stop submitting Feedback Assistant/Radar reports. Let teenagers, college students, adults and old people buy a new Mac, experience the bugs and lack of polish and let it affect Apple's brand, consumer&

My bad, I recalled 2017 for some reason. And of course, same problem on Windows.

SwiftUI is still broken for any non-simple apps, almost a decade after its introduction. Completely unacceptable for big apps. Look at OmniFocus, who inexplicably became early-adopters of it, and it's had a bunch of UI glitches and inc

Okay. So your point was not really: "I disagree on moral philosophy, responsibility and the attribution of guilt", it was: "I support Apple's centralized control on all apps you can run, but I don't want to be criti

It did, yeah. A merge the other way would have probably been a bad idea too, they should remain separate.

True, I forgot about that.

No, because those employees didn't learn about it by snooping around in Azure data.

I read the EU's DMA documents (and their responses to Apple) and what stuck out was that every time Apple brought up "privacy concerns" for any interoperability proposal, the EU response was basically: "that's inval

Market share is relevant to your argument because it determines the standards that determine engine complexity. > turning web browsers into operating systems won't break the current monopolies, because it's the same companies

1. "Lil' indie dev can make an engine" is irrelevant in terms of standards or browser/engine marketshare unless he can obtain significant browser/engine marketshare. He can't. So framing the current state of th

Your examples have nothing to do with the web, but the author does criticize Google severely for hindering web apps early on to favor Android apps (before mostly changing tack with the rise of ChromeOS). When tech went mainstream in develop

The one piece from this author that I found most persuasive is the analysis of mobile web vs app usage share. The web is practically dead on mobile. Users spend practically no time there, it's night and day compared to desktop. It&#x

Chat Control isn't really "the EU". It's the national governments. USB-C was the bureaucrats/technocrats ("the EU"), Chat Control is government ministers from each country (the "Council")

I don't understand this narrative anymore. The yearly macOS changes are objectively minimal. It's a mature platform. This year, a new design and a few power user features (Spotlight, Shortcuts, tidbits like Call Screening/Hol

This bug is clearly Apple's fault, but no matter which software or OS you switch to, you'll encounter a bug eventually and you'll be glad to have a workflow that is resilient to that.

Are there any that aren't laughably insecure? No? Oh well.

It's a purely software limitation. That is, it's a purely arbitrary limitation.

The correct number is 48%, not 23%. I doubt even the US is that low.

Exactly. "Free" devices exist. Linux computers. Linux phones. No codesigning, minimal sandboxing, none of that "malevolent" stuff from macOS/Windows/Android. Knock your socks off. You have a choice. Ideological

Nobody. Apple's still doing the best by far. Apple Silicon chips. Safari having the strongest anti-tracking of any platform's browser (AAPL, GOOG, MSFT). Privacy on the Apple TV. Using 100% renewable electricity for their AI data

People have no "control" over their own device if they have malware on it. The weirdo incoherent tech-chauvinism of "control" and "freedom" evidenced all over this thread is one of the most obnoxious trends on

Trump's tariffs are already illegal and unconstitutional (though the right-wing Supreme Court won't care). Tariffs are within the purview of Congress. He's been doing all of this through "emergency" declarations.

Okay. Now flip this free-enterprise metaphor. Apple is dictating the behavior of every business operating in the digital market (Apple itself brags that this amounts to over $1 trillion , with a T, in economic activity), with the App Store

It’s not “adopting” the Chinese model yet, so much as incoherently copying bits and pieces. If you want to run effective industrial policy you need sufficient state capacity and an army of technocrats who are experts on industrial policy. T

> Also they mean "theft of income" Right. It's the debunked, bad-faith argument that "piracy is theft" because the pirates would have bought a movie were it not for The Pirate Bay, to justify calculating monetary

by concinds 1y ago
Correct. Piracy is potentially copyright infringement, not "theft". People insist on using that word, despite it being factually wrong, due to its emotional valence and persuasive value. The author is a photojournalist, not a lawy
