Russians had a joke about him back then: "For the crimes against the US Snowden was sentenced to the life in Russia"

Makes me wonder what constitutes a bigger danger for the society: putting up a bad taste AI-generated menu poster, or threatening people’s businesses for that action.

This case has nothing to do with "gatekeepers". It is about the Play Store, operated by Google.

I don't find that offensive at all. People do not understand the code they make AI to generate, but that doesn't stop them from submitting. This is a real problem that has hit many open source projects, and I expect more and more of them will introduce barriers to submission.

It is now redirected to Flash v4.1

As someone who played this game on start I want to share that I enjoyed it. This game was and still is a chill exploration experience at the core. There’s a lot of stuff bolted on top, but it’s just a busywork. If you enjoy that kind of games you’ll love it.

Another thing to point out: technical patching is top notch. I’m talking about how fast they come around to support new console, new VR helmet etc.

Small studio, don't have to generate a lot of sales to keep them afloat. Updates push visibility and generate new sales. Obviously, they need new projects to keep them afloat in the future.

To me it reads as a marketing piece before the upcoming IPO. Unless this "superhuman technology" is able to resolve a puzzle of servicing OpenAI's and Anthropic's ever growing debt burden, it is them, not humanity, who'll become the first casualty.

> I'm not sure if the author is aware that GeometryReader hasn't been necessary since iOS 18 added onGeometryChange modifiers.

I think the author does not understand how and why to use GeometryReader at all. He literally said "you find yourself wrapping everything in a GeometryReader" which is a different thing from simply measuring. For measuring you could always put GeometryReader into `.background()` and use that to avoid messing with the view layout. Also, "wrapping everything" is a good sign you are doing something wrong.

Edit: by the way compiler timeouts are not a SwiftUI issue: it is a Swift issue. You can create a timeout situation in pure Swift. For SwiftUI specifically this situation is addressed in the upcoming OS27 SDK.

> Then came Swift and I loved it, but then it took literal years to catch up with everything you could do in Objective-C with the Apple APIs.

I don't get this part. You can literally rewrite Obj-C code verbatim in Swift and it will work. The only missing part is C macros.

There's no way in hell those are all exploitable bugs. I'll bet my hat that those are "insecure practices".

New apps submissions review time did increase.

I was fully expecting that was about Trump administration, and was a bit disappointed that my prediction turned out to be wrong. I do not support this; I expected the first federal court and then all the appeals to serve a verdict cementing the right of encrypted communication to exist in the US.

Blocking communications is basically sweeping the issue under the rug in the hopes that it dissolves on its own. This is closer to avoiding of "taking action"

> the app enables communication even during network restrictions and creates a substantial risk of misuse by anti-national elements, terrorist organisations, organised criminal groups and cyber criminals seeking to evade lawful detection and continue communication despite legally imposed restrictions.

This mouthful boils down to exactly this: a form of communication not controlled by the government creates a risk for the country.

Sorry for pointing out the obvious, but if your country's safety depends on ability to block all forms of private person to person messages, your government has failed in one of its primary goals: providing safety for its citizens. They can blame Dorsey, Telegram, WhatsApp and what not, but it is their failure. Things will not change until people notice the obvious and vote out incompetent persons in power.

I think their use of terms like AI and "agent" will make people think "Oh! it's what I use for code generation!"

What it does better than Rust? C++? Swift? And other language? Terms like "sane" and "joy" indicate highly subjective points, which does not help.

Yes, I do not see value in knowing someone likes this language. I see value in technical features and examples showing how those features address common pain points in programming.

This is misleading; the chat is censored, the model is not.

You can download the model, run locally and ask the same questions to see the difference.

For all intents and purposes this is legal. As is distillation. No justification is needed.

I read through Odin's FAQ and didn't get the picture of what it does better than everyone else. I think it's missing a good short pitch.

DeepSeek first and foremost is a business. Yes, being a business in China means risk of being ordered tomorrow to do something that is not in your best interests. But now we know the US is not immune to that level of government oversight either.

The difference is DeepSeek and other Chinese models are open weights.

Sounds like an advertising for the next model from Alibaba

> That is one of the reasons SONY can subsidize the PS5 unit price and sell under cost.

PS5 hardware sales started generating profit in the first year. Only for the first few month the sales were "subsidised".

That reinterpretation would have make Apple a monopoly and thus other anti-trust laws would apply, which did not happen. As I said: they are introducing new category, the gatekeepers, for the sole purpose of making the law applicable.

They do adhere to the law perfectly by not providing a law breaking feature. If you don't like the way the law allows that, you should address your complaints to the lawmaker.

Sorry, my mistake. DMA. However, it runs counter to the definition of antitrust law, that is the law that applies to the trust or a monopoly, an entity that controls the market. DMA instead applies to the companies of certain size, regardless whether they have market control or not.

Yes, I was coming from Gruber's article, thank you for correcting me!

Or, write to your European MP.

AltStore works across the world, only in the EU it an Apple-approved storefront. Is it the total number? Also, is the number of store installs?

You mean DMCA. It is not an antitrust framework. Europe has pretty robust anti-trust framework. DMCA is an attempt to regulate companies that cannot be legally considered monopolies, and that do not run afoul of any pre-existing EU regulation.

Just for that case a new category of business classification was invented: the gatekeepers, and coincidentally almost all of those gatekeepers are American companies. Unlike antitrust regulation and other EU regulation that wan't based on clearly observed harm to the consumers, as otherwise that would have been covered by existing laws. It was solely designed to prevent businesses to have a potential ability to do something anti-consumer.
