iOS Developer at Techniker Krankenkasse in Hamburg, Germany by day, #iOS and #Android developer by night. Recently started to use #Linux on the desktop, too. I enjoy all things digital, but I also dabble in #Photography, #3DPrinting and #Woodworking. I’m one Podcast short of being a stereotypical nerd.

Proud #Antifascist. Fuck Nazis.

I usually write in English, but may occasionally write in German if the post is only relevant to German-speaking audiences.

Well I don't know about you, but I'm firing up the IDE.

No, not Xcode. #GNOME Builder. Because that's actually still *fun* to write software for.

So:
• With Siri AI, Apple deliberately developed a brand-new (and central) OS feature that they knew would not meet the DMA requirements they've been subjected to since 2023
• They went to the EU Commission with the proposal of a technical solution that is not ready and would not roll out before 18 months
• The EU Commission said no because lol what do you mean you plan to disobey the DMA *again* for the next 18 months
• Apple whines

None of the things shown in today's presentation make me want to go back to using an iOS device on a daily basis. The design still looks shitty, shittyness slider or not. The "AI" features are uninteresting, I pretty much got all of the features shown on my S26U today, and I don't use them. Too little, too late. #wwdc

Jesus, what a snore fest. #wwdc

Apple is still riding the EU feature disparity blackmail train. The funny thing is that the lack of "Apple Intelligence" is actually a feature. #wwdc

Wow that’s so cool. The Switch 2 will soon have a replaceable battery but only in the EU. You know, because the EU is so bad and stifles innovation and stuff.

I hope more will be forced to do it. It also tells you a lot about Nintendo, if they introduce it only in the EU.

I already love the comments in the article, where people ultimately jump in to protect their favorite corp, instead of appreciating more consumer rights. What went wrong?

Nintendo confirms it will sell a new Switch 2 with replaceable battery in the EU

Nintendo is planning to launch versions of Switch 2 hardware in the EU that will let users easily replace the battery in order to comply with a new regulation.

Remember when the feelings a few days before WWDC were "I'm excited about all the cool new APIs we're going to see" and not "I'm dreadful how much they're going to fuck it up even more"? Good times.

Mastodon is easily the most queer place I've ever called home on the Internet, and I think that has been good for me, even as (maybe especially as) a cishet dude.

Happy #Pride—I appreciate you all!
