(I got this doc from a brilliant public-health friend I'd 100% trust with my own family's lives and who also has connections in the region, so I consider it solid.)

“Rotten Apple”

"All Apple is being asked to do is offer the same level of choice on mobile that everyone already enjoys on their computers. Rather than comply reasonably, Apple have found a way to throw their toys of the pram." https://adactio.com/journal/20888

‘Oklahoma, HB 3216, passed a legislative hurdle on Wednesday when it passed out of committee. HB 3216 would ban emergency contraception in the state and create a state database of people who have had an abortion.

“If the bill doesn’t get changed with the current wording then IUDs and Plan B could be inaccessible to women,” said State Rep. Trish Ranson (D).’

A few people managed to tarnish the Hugo awards this year…and I thought the Rabid Puppies had been bad. This time the poison came from inside.

• These Hugo dossiers are disgusting. “Author openly describes themselves as queer, nonbibary, trans… I don’t know how that will play in China (I suspect less than well)” They wrote that in writing. … The gaslighting the Hugos organizers did, telling everyone they were stupid for not getting that the works were i eligible due to “the rules” and it turns out the authors criticized a human right violation once, or ate Tibetan food, or said a Taiwanese Batman hotel looked cool.

I just heard that the CEO of StabilityAI called aritsts "skill segregationists", and for a moment I felt like I got a glimpse into a hellish dimension with howling, screeching demons that can drive people insane with their sounds, and I assume that must be what it's like inside that person's head.

Quello che sta facendo Apple con le PWA su iOS in Europa è vergognoso

Remember, Apple says we can't have real web apps because something something privacy and security something something. Because a megacorp might target ads with data about what you click on. Got it?

"Enshittification as Overproduction" expanded my thinking about why the internet feels worse now than it used to.

Many tech companies have left the (apparent) exponential growth phase and are failing to see it, failing to adjust to the maintenance phase. My emotional posture has also changed, because I depend on the internet now in a way I didn't during the exciting growth phase.

Contemptible and arrogant, but that's Apple these days.

🎬 The App Store will continue to be the only place to install apps on the iPhone, even in the EU. Users should be aware that the App Store collects exhaustive usage data and sends it to #Apple. This can't be turned off. We made this video to show how tapping an app link gets recorded in details.

After tapping a link posted on X, we requested a copy of the Apple ID data and we found this: (76,779 records in 734 days 🤯)

The #bridgy situation reminded me of this weird quirk where Mastodon accounts can basically just lie and inflate their follower count.

Could you imagine if the army of twitter bots had that ability? 😅

Attachments:

• Profile interface displaying "Sports Business Journal" with a logo, post, following, and follower counts, a description stating it's an unofficial bot mirroring Sports Business Journal's Twitter feed, and links to a Twitter account and website. The follower count is incorrect.

Apple's attempt to knife PWAs in the EU will have worldwide implications if allowed to stand. Not knowing if Push Notifications will be available or data will be lost will drive developers back to native, pushishing investments in the web worldwide, even if the change is only "real" in the EU.

This is as bad as it sounds. If you want to fight back, join @owa in supplying information to regulators about what it will mean for users and developers:

Ask yourself. If it really was EU regulations, why is this action from Apple limited to iOS? Why is it not announced nor implemented on MacOS and IpadOS at the same time?
