The iPhone platform has competition against other platforms. The platform as a whole is competing with android for instance.

Within the android platform, google play competes with fdroid, Samsung galaxy store, etc.

Within the iPhone platform, the app store has no competition.

I’m in the US. When did I say I was European?

Glad to see you respond to the argument with logic instead of making assumptions about my identity and deciding that’s an attack.

Expecting platforms to try and get chosen by consumers for being a good option rather than being the only option is unreasonable?

If Apple’s offering is better or as good as the competition, consumers won’t try to rip it out and swap it for the competitor’s product.

RCS support

No don’t

Robespierre?

Why is the fact that there are no ads in Apple apps relevant to this post? None of this will stop you from using Apple apps.

Allowing people to use non-Apple apps won’t force people to not use Apple apps. People will only use non-Apple apps if they think it’s doing something better than Apple apps. If, as you say, Apple apps are the best, then people will use them even if Apple allows competitors into the iOS market. I do not see a single way this decision hurts any consumers.

Yeah, if tiny smart watch startups can make it, Apple can.

What OS are your devices? More detail would be better.

For example, my phone is Samsung’s One UI flavor of Android 13. My laptop is Linux and has a nvidia dedicated GPU and AMD integrated GPU. I’m using Hyprland (Wayland) on it. I don’t have a smart watch. Don’t have any fancy lights or rgb keyboards that can be controlled from other devices.

With this kind of information, we can recommend both from scratch ideas for your devices and open source projects that you could use on your devices and are written in the languages you know or similar.

Just add 1 to the denominator.

Simple is best.

The max(1,total_blocked) method will make instances with 1 blocked and 0 blocked appear to be equal.

Yeah, this feels like Amazon stats.

Git clone

At this very moment, I’m at home, waiting for a pipeline to finish, after I copied some code from another of our team’s projects and edited it a bit.

The pipeline config file was also, ofc, copied from another of our projects and had some file paths inside changed.

You do get some pretty good names like Netflix, roomba, Skype, etc.

Is gentoo not Linux?

I know that a lot of banks and insurance companies offer remote work, both for internships and full time.

That is not how I imagined Urithiru at all lol

Works fine for me on jerboa

Saw some Google bootlicker on GitHub issues talking about how the policy will prevent a lot of automated stuff including bots and many hacker tools.

Harder for scammers/hackers iirc.

But this also makes it harder for devs to run tests.

Iirc, it has some crypto and nft stuff built in which many ppl hate.
