They're just following Apple's lead. When iPhone shipped, any time you emailed a photo it would append "Sent from my iPhone" to try to virally market. Same or at least similar slimey tactics

Not sure your point. You claimed "Nobody would install chrome on iOS even if they could". That is provably false by easily checkable usage metrics. Heck, You can just go to the App Store and see it's one of the top downloaded

Just guessing. * Cloudflare is giving you a "free" service - they'd like something in return. Seems reasonable to me * Paid customers are usually business that have different needs, on average, than free customers

their stated goal is to become a self-sustaining indie game dev. They fail because instead of shipping a game they spent time making an engine and then running out of funds an having to get job not making their own stuff. If their stated go

You can already do that. Stop going to any sites that have ads.

Personally I'm happy to carve out an exception for game consoles. Other than play games I don't do anything essential to my life on my game consoles. On my phone though I bank, shop, book hotels, flights, make doctors appointments

You'd be wrong. One of six iOS users install Chrome. I do as I use 3 OSes and want all my stuff synced across them, something I can't do with Safari.

To play devil's advocate. Browsers exist to browse sites. Remove the ads and most of those sites disappear, removing the point of having a browser in the first place.. Not every site but plenty of extremely popular sites that people lo

Some iOS developer correct me if I'm wrong 1. Safari supports extensions 2. WebView, the thing most browsers on iOS are required to use in most places, does not directly support those same extensions. In other words, there is no simple

You seem to be under the impression that the government itself doesn't have the same problem. Government agencies often over bill, over budget. They have an incentive to pad everything and to never lower costs because their budget will

The LLMs find the bugs and the users will get exploited unless fixed. Sure am glad the choose fix them.

We need more of these stories. A week or two ago game engines came up where I see so many wanna-be indie devs effectively throw away their chance at shipping before running out of money by spending time making an engine instead of getting t

do they enforce it? California has similar laws but they are not enforced. People ride 40mph (64kph) down bicycle trails and bicycle lanes. And, they still ride like most cyclists here, ignoring red lines, stop signs, and all other traffic

Not to take away from this game, but I had a friend who said he got lots of joy from Smule. IIRC it connects you with a random stranger, you can opt into having it auto-tune your voice, and you sing duets. It's been out for 14 years?

I gave the 1000x example because a single semi-truck can generally carry 240x what a horse can carry. A horse can carry 150-200lbs. A semi-truck can carry 42,000 to 48,000 pounds. The largest truck carries 2.2 million pounds or 11000x the h

This is effectively a claim that Mozillia, Apple, Google's developers are idiots and irresponsible and just accepted the fixes without checking them. That's a pretty strong claim which I think you'd have a hard time proving o

> We are 4 years into this ‘revolution’ and the industry has almost nothing to show for it. Software has not improved in quality, Apple, Mozillia, and Firefox just released a record number of bug fixes because of AI. So this assertion th

I have not really had any issues with ads using uBlock Origin Lite. It's like the complainers live in an alternate reality or just listened to some influencer and never actually checked. I do miss the rules that let me remove stuff bas

I've had no trouble getting small PRs. No idea if I'm doing something different than you or the things I asked for just happened to be small. Next time I get a big one I'll consider trying to ask the AI to break it up after i

Wishing that Apple would add OS level AI so I could use it to hide ads in apps. It doesn't need to manipulate the app. It just needs to recognize them and black them out. Apple doesn't have to block anything directly, they can lea

Picked just 4 years? That sounds awfully sus. Like if you include 1998 or 2005 to the numbers still hold? How about 1990 to 2025? I'm not saying they are wrong, in fact I want to believe they are right. But so many econ papers are easy

Open engine factory, stuff is flowing opposite direction of the conveyor belt it’s on. 100% accurate!
