“Google denied wrongdoing but settled to avoid the risk, cost and uncertainty of litigation, court papers show.”

I keep seeing folks float this as some admission of wrongdoing but it is not.

Copilot in the streets, Claude in the sheets.

I understand that language evolves and meanings change but we need a word that means “literally”! If we let this one go, the battle is lost.

Do you know if this supports multiple users? Can’t find mention of it in the site.

I am not a huge fan of joke-y replies like this, but bravo. Perfect.

To be honest I am not sure if you are even discussing this in good faith anymore. The idea that the Supreme Court could render impeachment of them null and void and the legislative and executive branches would just be :shrugging-emoji: is a little silly.

Yes, the court’s job is to interpret the law. But the Constitution is not code and the judges are not the CPU. Ultimately, the rule of law will always be dependent on people.

They could still be impeached by the legislative branch.

Highly recommend the podcast “Advisory Opinions” if you are interested in Supreme Court analysis.

Apple is allowed to share data among its apps. Third-party app developers are allowed to share data within their apps. If third-party developers want to share data with _other_ third-party developers (aka the advertising ID), then they need the explicitly request permission. It is fairly straightforward.

Because they directly negotiate deals with those companies that other smaller players can’t negotiate. The App Store is largely a “these are the rules for everyone” minus a few small exceptions.

I believe you mean lasagna.

The malware would have to prompt for biometric authentication before exporting.

And you will find the problem very early if you crash. You are much less likely to find the problem if you don’t.

What have you found useless about the crash reports from the App Store? It would be really nice for it to have something like a breadcrumb capability, but typically the stack trace of the crash is sufficient to see what went wrong.

Goalposts moved.

The original claim was that the compliance was done for malicious reasons to change the law. Another possibility is that lawyers are a cautious bunch and advise their clients to take a less risky option when implementing a legal requirement. From personal experience, I would saw that latter is much more likely and would also explain why government agencies interpret these rules the same way when developing their websites.

Crashes are silent failures but as I mentioned: you can get a lot of your crashes reported via the App Store. This is why I prefer crashes in this situation: it gives me something actionable over silent failures on the client.

Is that why most of the EU governmental websites have the same cookie pop up banners?

So what happens if it ends up being nil? How does your app react?

In this particular case, I would rather crash. It’s easier to spot in a crash report and you get a nice stack trace.

Silent failure is ultimately terrible for users.

Note: for the things I control I try to very explicitly model state in such a way as I never need to force unwrap at all. But for things beyond my control like this situation, I would rather end the program than continue with a state of the world I don’t understand.

Is the internal API mentioned something that can be used for a private tap?

You see the reading “the press” as meaning some organization of people. You take it for granted that the freedom of the press applies to a business entity like the NYT and also to an individual blogger or any other person creating a publication.

The idea that people can come together to form cooperative groups and can use those to exercise rights through the idea of personhood is such a normal and legally settled idea.

And if corporations aren’t people, then the New York Times has no right to the First Amendment.

This is heavily dependent on whether the app is using a WKWebView, in which the app developer has almost total control over the experience or SFSafariViewController, which essentially provides a mini-Safari with back/forward/reload/reader mode buttons with a button in the lower right hander corner that takes you to full Safari. In the latter case, the app developer has very little customization and cannot see or really control what is happening inside of the web view.

Everyone states this. At the same time, any official site I have ever visited for the EU government/regulators _has cookie banners_. Why would the EU malicious compliance itself?

Turn on the temperature control system?

Even better: the only “evidence” of Singal’s “anti-trans” views are that his work has been quoted by anti-trans politicians and activists. This is an absolute ridiculous bar to have. Anyone who follows him would be hard-pressed to describe him as “anti-trans” unless you think anything less than a full throated endorsement of self ID and medical transition interventions for minors is “anti-trans”.

Yes! The Smart Keyboard Folio was nearly perfect.

I have had this same question for a while now.

Yeah, I hear that. Similar experience. I think that is probably to expected though. I guess I am ok at this stage in life with a couple “true” friends. I am probably two ahead of most my age.

Definitely tougher to make and maintain friend relationships at this age. Most of my group comes from church but think about other social settings or clubs that might provide opportunities to make connections.

The other suggestion is to not worry about who initiates what. I make it a habit of reaching out to people and don’t mind if I am the one doing so the majority of the time. It is so easy, for me at least, to fall into the trap of keeping track to make sure the people “care enough”.

Hope that helps and hopefully my entirely unasked for advice wasn’t inappropriate. Only responding because I am a similar age and struggled with the same.

I did this and it worked for a few months before word got to security who then forced everyone to remove the rule.
