if you have to distribute via website or alternative app store, everybody can always have a known person to be responsible for piracy, in addition, it is just as easy to block as apps in apple's app store sony is not yet a gatekeeper,

I think it is non-obtrusive and the first time you have to learn it (on the site you first want to use standalone or googleing or somebody tells you who already knows) after the first time, you just know it... I would bet 1m dollars if we m

I agree that web is currently 99% terrible But I blame web "designers" not web tech because it has become so powerful on so many levels my favourite examples are: - V8 performance (but gecko and webkit engineers are great too) - w

I do not use these but I find windows after linux bloated so it may have something to do with microsoft engineers? (teams) spotify can choose its strategy, you can choose apple music native app (I guess there is something like this? I rarel

maybe there are still no great web apps because Apple is still crippling web capabilities on a major platform and the status quo is still hiring mobile app developers because not technical managers copy each other to stay safe and users are

accepting the moderation, in my defense: I just saw I added a smiley at the end of the problematic sentence, which I actually probably did to remove sharpness but still being able to formulate myy strong conclusion/opinion of course it

I rarely use mobile and social networking and I actually rarely come back to my comments, so much time but here I am, the reply is: hover is a minimalistic usability example, I will not show my website yet, but I know it is totally possible

thanks for the analysis :) I do not use and know good web apps in the application sense, in plenty of comments I argued it is the tech of the future because web designers are mainly not real programmers and hence bad in app programming. I m

well in a sense the right word may be oligarch... US companies control all OSs but linux... they are surely working together with NSa and the US government which in turn let them become extremely powerful monopolies... what are oligarchs? p

thanks for the details, you are probably right, then change linux to unix and chromium to blink in my comment, however, browser engines are all open source and they are the exact pitch perfect level to introduce competition I am not so sure

why is a browser more overbloated than windows? it was meant to run applications, that is why V8 is developed and optimized like hell, that is why we have webassembly to port c++ programs (try stockfish on lichess, it is webassembly) origin

99% agree but it is not oligarch who get the taxes, apple stock owners I guess it is somehow the job of Apple management to maximize profit, they are doing this question is whether they really optimizing future profits with this behaviour,

well if you think that you are a proud US citizen who somehow has Apple/Google, I think they actually pay their taxes in Ireland? "When a customer buys an Apple product outside the United States, the profit is first taxed in the c

no, because they are gatekeepers and they operate within countries that have laws and regulations Apple is not above the law... you cannot host pedofile stuff on YOUR platform because there are laws against it heck I use a private rail comp

the right way would have been: 1. pay some macOS developers if iOS developers are that bad and implement necessary changes on a weekend since both OS are linux and macOS is capable (and they had years) 2. if Apple wants to play the oh-so-di

millions of users have iPhones so developers MUST deploy there therefore competition MUST be forced because (it is actually a deeper question, my microeconomy professor told us monopoly makes profit and it is the potential source of innovat

it is wishful thinking, if you pull spotify people will use another app on iOS... the way forward is alternative app sotres, the web as an app store etc... competition more exciting is visionOS, I hope Netflix and co. NEVER make native apps

in my definition an app is a standalone UX a website in standalone mode is a web "app", so web apps are not possible in Safari if the website, even if uses all the modern web capabilities, cannot get rid of the browser bar... it i

I can assure you now it is totally possible to create the same standalone UX on iPhone from the web more securely than using a native app... if Apple is forced to allow at least other browser engines to use web capabilities securely (just l

it would be nice to strongly suggest a cross browser idea in the manifest "standard" that is an unstable draft but anyways... that is complicated because it is actually now a browser decision my idea would be long pressing the dom

there are poorly made native apps too there is a fix number of good programmers... these good programmers can create the exact same wonderful interactive pixels on your screen whether they use native or web tech, if web tech is allowed it i

yeah it was re-duped so... it was halfway duplicated actually next submission will be just the article title :) I found my peace with it (and read the guidelines) I think I was a little bit also paranoid... but others reacted actually first

I do not know. I think that it is a weekend job and then a month testing. If Apple does not retreat they will have to explain this. Especially since every other OS (macOS too) can do this. However, at the end of this day I think they just h

I see that you had high level replies and you are probably more knowledgable than I am in security. However, you cannot shut down browsers because they are the weak spot. Even if you are right in every argument you wrote in security I do no
