The EU Is Reaping What It Sows With the DMA: Uncertainty

This is not spite. Spite would be saying these features will never come to the EU while the DMA remains in place. But a delayed rollout is the only rational response to the DMA: extreme caution in the face of the law’s by-design uncertainty and severe penalties.

@dimillian the EU is way too heavy handed - and the perception to me is that it’s heavily anti-American. I think feature and product limitations like this will continue into the future as long as the status quo continues.

@jensimmons I have a feature request for Safari, if at all possible: I’d love to be able to set my default search engine to Kagi. Thanks!

YouTube wouldn't build an app for the Apple Vision Pro, so I did! Introducing Juno, an Apple Vision Pro app for YouTube, now available at http://juno.vision 📺🥽

@marioguzman I miss this. Tiger is what brought me over to the Macintosh.

I feel like some macOS apps would be a little nicer looking (and easier to use) with variable size items in the source list. The Apple TV+ app would look snazzy with some big boy top items:

Let’s talk about design in Software Update… This is SU in Mac OS X Tiger. It was a delight to use.

It was simple and clean in the sense that it was as Albert Einstein once said: “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler.”

The UI & UX of SU these days is cheap design. It’s “clean” & “simple” in the sense most UI is removed. There’s no thought behind it other than to show as much white background as possible.

Real design is purposeful & deliberate.

And it worked.
