giuliomagnifico··on Tell HN: You Can Use "Screen Mirroring" in EU on iOS 27 via Xcode and Device Hub

giuliomagnifico··on Publishers Are Preparing to Opt Out of Google Search
Yes but it’s what they want (being scraped by AIs), it’s written:

>Still, its monetization strategy going forward as it relates to AI will come from licensing agreements, which the company has struck with Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon, among others. Google, unlike its hyperscaler peers or pure-play AI firms like OpenAI and Anthropic, has not struck any licensing deals with any publishers. > >As a result, USA Today Inc. is prepared to delist from Google in the next six to twelve months, according to Reed. Likewise, the creator network Beehiiv announced in a recent partnership with Cloudflare that its network of creators now has the ability to block the Google crawler.

giuliomagnifico··on Dear Microsoft, enough is enough
I don't know what the situation is on Microsoft Windows, but these requests that are being asked are mostly already applied on iOS:

We call on Microsoft to respect its users and implement the following changes immediately and on a worldwide basis:

-Allow browser suppliers to compete for preinstallation and default deals with Windows PC manufacturers.

-End dark patterns targeted at users seeking to download and effectively use other browsers (including as system level default).

-Bring back the ability for users to make switching default browsers simple and transparent with a “single click” change for all relevant file types and apps (including PDFs).

-Open all web links in users’ selected system-level browser of choice.

-Eliminate manipulative Microsoft-exclusive banners pushing Edge in Windows, including when users are searching for other browsers.

-Stop using operating system updates to push users back to Edge.

-Remove the restrictive configurations of existing S mode devices that block usage of third-party browsers
