winterqt··on Apple announces changes to iOS, Safari, and the App Store in the European Union
Sure, but your apps have to be renewed every 7 days (or 365 if you have a developer account).
winterqt··on Apple announces changes to iOS, Safari, and the App Store in the European Union
No, you'll need to install through an approved alternate marketplace. See https://developer.apple.com/support/dma-and-apps-in-the-eu/#...

winterqt··on Beeper – Moving Forward
> Beeper Cloud has always been free to use.

This isn't true [0], unless you count "always" as meaning "always [after the time that the new iMessage bridge was introduced]."

winterqt··on Apple cuts off Beeper Mini's access
It doesn't look like that binary is used for Beeper Mini, unlike pypush: https://blog.beeper.com/p/how-beeper-mini-works
winterqt··on Apple cuts off Beeper Mini's access
I believe that you are correct: https://blog.beeper.com/p/how-beeper-mini-works
winterqt··on Shh: Simple Shell Scripting from Haskell
> shh has a neat [fmt| ... |] macro that gets you around escaping strings.

Per the README, this is actually the work of https://hackage.haskell.org/package/PyF

winterqt··on Botlib: C Telegram bot framework
Certainly the first time I've heard this specific troll remark, good to know that their one joke is still alive and well.
winterqt··on De-crufted Windows 11 coming to Europe soon
> There are APIs to do this natively now, introduced in Ventura I believe, but Discord hasn't yet switched over to them.

As of a few days ago, they have: https://twitter.com/advaithj1/status/1723926917286371818

winterqt··on Speaker Support in Asahi Linux
They'll be able to ship it, just requiring users to install an Asahi-specific package to enable it; see the "Distro integration notes" section.
winterqt··on IBM cancels 401k matching, replaces with proprietary pension fund RBA
The link was replaced again.
winterqt··on Roadmap to Tauri 2.0
They mentioned being able to write plugins in Swift and Kotlin, so yes.
winterqt··on When URL parsers disagree
On the topic of disagreeing parsers, this is how the "Psychic Paper" iOS vulnerability worked: https://blog.siguza.net/psychicpaper/
winterqt··on How to Overclock a Raspberry Pi 4 for Improved Performance
That's because this is an article from MakeUseOf, which MSN is aggregating/embedding: https://www.makeuseof.com/how-to-overclock-raspberry-pi-4/
winterqt··on Newpipe.net removed from Google search results due to DMCA take down request
I think this blog post by the Newpipe team is a fine link to use to provide context + promote their CTA so people can help them, no?
winterqt··on Windows Update Restored: Fix Windows update on Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000, and XP
For context: https://legacyupdate.net
winterqt··on The Framework Laptop 13
Title should be changed to mention the fact that this is about the Ryzen mainboard.
winterqt··on Joint statement by the Department of the Treasury, Federal Reserve, and FDIC
See https://www.npr.org/2009/03/26/102384657/anatomy-of-a-bank-t... for some more info on how efficiently the FDIC works.
winterqt··on The Quest for Netflix on Asahi Linux
> Most streaming platforms will limit you to only "HD" content on L3 (as opposed to 4K on L1). On Netflix, this upper limit is 1080p (although it might depend on the specific content you're trying to watch?), but you are further limited to a mere 720p by default. For some reason, you can only get 1080p if your client asks nicely for it (at the protocol level), and there are browser extensions that do this for you automatically.
winterqt··on Facebook LLAMA is being openly distributed via torrents
Note that this is the leaked copy, not the original -- see 'llama.sh'.
winterqt··on StarFighter 16 inch: 4K Coreboot/Ryzen Linux laptop
That's the UK layout -- if you go to customize it and select the US one, it's where you'd expect it to be.
winterqt··on Bird.makeup: a Twitter to ActivityPub bridge
No, per https://sr.ht/~cloutier/bird.makeup/:

> Unlike BirdsiteLive, bird.makeup doesn't use official twitter api, but the undocumented frontend api, just like nitter.net, which doesn't have rate limiting.

winterqt··on Adding C-style for loops to Python (2022)
(2022)
winterqt··on Data-Free Disneyland
> Unlike an iPhone, my phone doesn't learn much about who is tethering to it, nor does it relay to the access point what is going on or who is accessing it.

Anyone know what they're referencing here?

winterqt··on Calculators now emulated at Internet Archive
I presume that it's stream-only, as in it can't be downloaded with a button. (Now, if that means that you can't grab whatever it's downloading by inspecting the requests, that's a different story.)
winterqt··on Now Available: Ivory for Mastodon by Tapbots
The cookie is merely needed by the web interface -- Ivory gets passed an API key. You can enable cookies temporarily, log in, and then clear them just fine.
winterqt··on Zero to Nix, an unofficial, opinionated, gentle introduction to Nix
> With fewer nix users on macOS, it's more likely you'll run into software which isn't in the binary cache, & so will compile from source.

This isn't necessarily true, unless the package happened to fail to build on Hydra, or it just hasn't been built yet. (Every package is built for every platform that has builders in Hydra, it's not a matter of maintenance unless it just doesn't build.)

Does brew do this differently? I thought they also automatically compile every package.

winterqt··on GitHub Sponsors will stop supporting PayPal
I honestly had no idea they even supported PayPal in the first place, assumed it was just credit card because everything's done through Stripe.
winterqt··on iPhones and iPads Now Require a Passcode on Every Backup/Sync
What would be the factually incorrect headline you're talking about, are you directly referencing the simplification that the OP's headline does, or a fictional headline?
winterqt··on Apple HomePod 2nd Generation
Do you have a source for that? As far as I'm aware, that has nothing to do with it -- e.g. Spotify is allowed on iOS as it is.
