Then you're familiar with the process of getting a DUNS number. Because that is a massive barrier for individual devs and small teams. That is actual legal paperwork. Not having to do that makes the process significantly easier. It&#x2

If you read the article you'd see that this is a separate account type that does not have a submission fee or require legal documents. It also doesn't prevent you from side loading. It's just part of the current scare screen

Yeah the comment you're replying to feels very insulated from the real world. It's the kind of thing you'd hear in a middle school social studies class about how great America is.

This feels very broad strokes. It's like saying Germany is bad because of Nazi Germany. That's not to excuse terrible actions but that these histories are long with a variety of leaders and popular beliefs. So viewing a country as

I think we were moving in that direction. But when Newsom starting posting snark on social media they all fell back in line. People want to be on the winning side. Given the enforcement of the dichotomy they pick one.

The past decade kinda proves this to not be the case though. I think you're conflating constitutional amendments with laws as well to make a point when it's simply a bad comparison. It's like comparing the UK prime minister t

Agreed. Personally I really like asciidoc but hardly anything supports it. Markdown is just everywhere. In all the tools I use and all the most popular tools available. So it's far easier to use when it's so portable. So I only ne

I think you misunderstood what I said. I am saying I don't see how that's not a fixable problem. How often do you need constant O2 readings? What places are phones not permitted but Apple Watches are? Seems like a highly niche pro

Correct. The sensor was the same in the Series 10 and Ultra 2 because in territories outside the US it worked just fine. Similar to how Samsung offer blood pressure readings in certain countries but in others the function is blocked at the

I don't see why that's a problem. They can still record the data on the watch and then when it reconnects to the phone it can send over the data for the analysis. Same as how they store metrics on the watch until it reconnects to

To be fair, this is something Apple has been doing since the beginning. "Oh cool tech you have there, would be a shame if we just copied it and made sure you got nothing."

They were very clearly poached. They were chosen for their specific knowledge of a product Apple wanted to make and Apple (being one of the wealthiest companies in Silicon Valley and ever) was able to throw out whatever number to get what t

Instead of it being fair to everyone in the pool it now gives an advantage to the wealthy to buy their way into a H1B. Seems significantly worse.

Wikipedia doesn't have grounds to really challenge this law. It is a principled stance is that everyone should have open access to encyclopedic knowledge. This is Wikipedia protecting that access within the framework they can operate i

Heard of Apple Game Porting Toolkit? That's built on the back of Wine. Microsoft has been open sourcing a bunch of their programs for a while now too. Majority are inconsequential but they are still nice to see. People on Linux OS&#x27

I didn't mean to imply they were. As I said, it's not ENTIRELY for self-enriching reasons. As in self-enrichment is a part of the reasons for this effort to combat AI scrapers. That being said I can still take some satisfaction in

It's not entirely self enriching. AI crawlers hit servers hard and everyone has their own crawler. So it's partially covering a business expense. Especially with Reddit being a goldmine of content for training data. Internet Archi

Unfortunately this isn't just a UK only issue. EU has passed similar rules and many US states have as well. Google is going to run it's age verification program in the US this month as well for everyone on Youtube. If the AI think

I disagree. The internet was intended for children. It was intended for everyone. Getting access to information, learning material, how to's, class work, doing class work, research, etc are just as much a part of the internet as surfin

This is by and large not because of him though. Tim was handed a golden goose with the iPhone and Mac line. Comparing Apple when Tim took over and Apple today and they are not very different. Still majority of revenue from iPhone sales. The

Apple Silicon was only an improvement in battery life. AMD and Intel still made more powerful processors coupled with Nvidia and AMD GPUs that blew Apple Silicon out of the water. Also depends what you consider successful since Macbooks are

Classic passing the buck. "Well WE didn't say they had to take those games down. We just pointed some problematic games and that we might not want to do business with them if they weren't removed. We didn't take them dow

That's the scary part. Not knowing if the mainstream media will go with it or actually buck it.

The founders immigrated from Palestine so that's not surprising. They even donate a portion of proceeds to Palestinian aid efforts. Surprised to see they are going under though. They have been a grocery store staple for a while.

Between this, new requirements to verify age and locking down of mobile devices it feels like digital freedom is really under attack. For all the decades of the west mocking the great firewall of china, it's sad to see them turn about

It's so nice to have all my legal media backups cataloged and organized and easily viewable. My server isn't powerful enough for 4k HDR though so I need to upgrade it.
