I do not know how the legal wording would need to function, but my general take on the solution is that OS manufacturers must allow the arbitrary installation/execution of applications/code on their platforms. It's just the "phones need to have install capabilities like long time desktop OSs have."
You can have an App Store, but developers must legally be allowed direct installation and contact with users, end of story.
The latest iPhone and Mac Mini rumors, “new” “content” for the Vision Pro, and Apple’s latest attack on creators.
I said “the purpose of a whole lot of software processes is to make large-scale failure look like a string of small successes.”
Huh? What does that look like??
It looks like this:
✅ Meetings held
✅ Plan signed off
✅ Tests passed
✅ Iterations iterated
✅ Velocity increased
✅ Thing implemented
✅ Checkpoints checked
✅ Thing released
✅ Blinkenlights blink
✅ Line goes up
✅ Thing updated
❌ Software never •really• solves the problem it was supposed to solve in the first place, creates more problems
The EU enacted a new law a while ago that all bottle caps should remain attached to the bottle, to combat plastic trash.
All the bottle and packaging makers, from massive multinationals like Coca Cola and fucking Nestlé to small local producers invested in the development of new caps, changing their production lines, and shipping the new caps. Today, a month before the law goes into effect, it's basically impossible to find a bottle without an attached cap.
I don't know, I thought this story was weirdly relevant right now with Apple being a whiny bitch. Imagine being worse than Coca Cola and motherfucking Nestlé.
