Your point is not based on laws though, you're just wishing the laws were different. Which is fine, but the process here should be to change the laws first instead of warping the current laws' definition to punish Apple first, col

Ugh, this entire thread will be a frustrating exercise in folks insisting their feel-feels are the law of the land because they hate Apple and that takes precedence over facts and reality. > So if there are 2 competitors and one drops o

I use several LLM models locally for chat UIs and IDE autocompletions like copilot (continue.dev). Between Teams, Chrome, VS Code, Outlook, and now LLMs my RAM usage sits around 20-22GB. 16GB will be a bottleneck to utility.

I am 100% uninterested in your production deployment of rent seeking behavior for tools and models I can run myself. Ollama empowers me to do more of that easier. That’s why it’s popular.

I made a Lego table out of one Lack end table, four Lego baseplates and some rubber cement. The baseplates cost about 2x what the table did.

People were clamoring for early access to betas and buying seats on developer accounts just to get it. Their public beta program just endorsed it and also allowed them to send actual developer betas to developers ahead of the public betas.

Right, I wanted you to spell it out because I was expecting you to write that exact sort of nonsense. Your first three examples aren't even web standards they're experimental features in Chrome that not even Firefox supports. The

Again, not answering a thing but a making up a claim you aren't willing or able to support. How is this supposed web development tooling jankiness attributable to Apple today? Feature detection is a solved problem. What tooling are you

MLC Chat is already on the App Store and allowed to be used. I haven't used Yi with it, but a quantized Mistral or Llama runs quite well on an iPhone 15. See https://llm.mlc.ai . "Apple GPT" is also rumored to be c

So why would you build a native Android app if PWAs work better? There’s way more web developers than Android developers, and you would avoid the Play Store fees. Sound cheaper to me. What part of iOS is invalidating the value proposition f

So it's not about PWAs at all then, it's just a handy complaint?

If PWAs had any merit at all, why would anyone build a native Android app today where all these magic features are inhibited? What's actually missing that's stopping this from working?

Serious question, what PWAs are worth using on Android that don't work on iOS?

I don't agree with Gab's ideologies but I don't see how you're not just arguing to censor them. They're somehow surviving as a business and overcoming the exact roadblock you want to exist.

Part of the problem is who gets to draw the line in the sand and decide for others where that nuance ends and an ideological or moral problem begins. Am I free to make decisions for myself or are AI companies now our designated morality pol

Are they not incentivized to maintain battery life? Perception of battery life impacts sales. You can't sell App Store apps without phone sales. Yadda yadda yadda. You can argue this towards any preconceived notion you want here. Nobod
