    You say ‘we’ as if everyone is the same. Some people care, some people don’t. It only takes a a few who don’t, or who feel the ends justify the means. Because those people exist, t…

    We lack the motivation precisely because of information warfare that is already being used.

    The solution is for culture to adapt. This is the role folk tales once played - carrying the knowledge of various different kinds of danger.

    > AI shouldn't be a part of warfare, IMHO. Nor should nuclear weapons, guns, knives, or cudgels. But we don’t have a way to stop them being used.

    Wrong. They did remove PWAs in safari. The old icons just become links with no special PWA features, and new ones can't be created.

    Read it more carefully. PWAs are no longer supported, even in safari. Any old PWAs that were already in the launcher just become web links. They happen to open in safari, but they …

    You aren’t making sense. How does it grant safari an advantage if no browser has PWAs?

    Not just non-safari browsers.

    USB c hardly makes a dramatic difference to consumer choice, not that it’s bad.

    Do you expect me to take you seriously after your last few comments? Who in their right mind would have a technical discussion with you?

    That’s not what’s happening here. PWA’s are disabled altogether in the EU to avoid exactly this favoritism.

    I think you’ve made my point quite nicely.

    How exactly does it discourage users from switching away from safari?

    People keep saying things like ‘affront to regulation’, but the regulation wasn’t written to make iOS more open. It was written to enable certain other middlemen more access to spe…

    In this instance I’m pretty sure it is the spirit of the law. The spirit of the law was to allow competing browser engines to be on an equal footing.

    Comment #39364743

    You know as well as everyone else does that PWA’s require the browser to be able to integrate with the platform at the level of the OS which would break iOS’s security model. You m…

    Well they obviously don’t expect to sell it to everyone at the current price. For what it’s worth, it costs about the same as the MacBook Air with SSD did when introduced without e…

    I have tried them side by side. It’s complete and utter bullshit to say that the video quality is comparable. Price doesn’t change the fact that the quality is a lot lower. If you …

    To some extent yes. The hardware has simply not been good enough. What’s changed is that Vision Pro crosses the threshold. Vision Pro is obviously too expensive for anyone who isn’…
