Steve Troughton-SmithNow is really not a great time for Google's Chromebook messaging to be so muddy. It's no wonder Apple felt now is the time to strike

"Effective immediately, no contractor, supplier, or partner that does business with the United States military may conduct any commercial activity with Anthropic"
I'm not sure we've figured out the full ramifications of that statement. Does that mean Microsoft can't use Claude? Google? Apple?
Peter Steinberger@xjki @mergesort @dimillian @krzyzanowskim it’s okay to mourn our craft. https://nolanlawson.com/2026/02/07/we-mourn-our-craft/
it’s also okay to be incredibly excited about it and celebrate the fact that one person can now build an army.
Cabel Sasserhere’s an app store app that is not only filled with emulators and roms, but gives you a regular apple pay sheet, instead of an in-app purchase, when you pay. 🫡

Neat new Apple AirTag! Maybe it'll help them find Apple's corporate soul.
As a European software developer, it's really hard to plan what to do next when there's the distinct, imminent and existential threat of all US technology and services being severed as a result of what seems like a nigh-inevitable schism between the US and Europe. Your iPhone is a paperweight without App Store Connect and codesigning, despite the EU's best attempts to force Apple to open it up. And every bit of technology you have has a shelf life, a mean time before failure. Then what?
The fact of the matter is Apple's rules precluded any chance of a mainstream alternative marketplace people might care about, like Steam, from ever existing.
If iOS were as open as macOS to app stores like Steam, enabling things like cross-buy and save sync of all your favorite games between Windows, Mac, Steam Deck and iOS, you bet your ass millions of people would want to use it
Clear indicator that Apple's DMA implementation never actually met its obligations under the DMA in the first place. Apple scared developers away from ever signing up to their poison pill Core Technology Fee terms, so alternative app stores simply have no apps to offer.
The pretense of avoiding 'political retaliation' from the US when the US is openly discussing invading and conquering EU member territory is utter nonsense. Fine Apple what they should be fined
