This is the framing Apple wants to sell for their decision to withhold features from the EU, and blogs are parroting it.

In reality, Apple is purposefully withholding these features from the EU, either because Apple are being retaliatory against EU customers for the existence of the DMA, or because Apple (with full knowledge of the DMA for years) refused to build these features in compliance with it.

Apple chose to harm their products in the EU. The DMA didn't. This framing is marketing.

@stevestreza The correct wording is "Apple won't be releasing these features in the EU because they refuse to comply with local legislation".

But hey, propaganda outlets don't make money by publishing objective news.

@stevestreza @zilahu I think it’s more of the case what has been written here: spyglass.org/no-ai-for-you-eu/
It was originally announced that AI features would come in Beta this fall and only in US English. So this announcement is not withdrawing anything, just poking the EU.
iPhone mirroring: I can imagine if this feature would need to comply with DMA, it would also need to allow Android and Windows mirroring. Which is a lot more complex problem to solve, not hard to believe it needs more time.

@stevestreza Are these the same people not caring about Apple caving to China’s demand and restrictions?

Our cat has discovered that the Framework 16 vents warm air out the back of the laptop right here. @frameworkcomputer #catsofmastodon

The Humane pin is super interesting. Not as a product, it is a shit product and reviewers are fully justified calling it shit. Rather It spotlights how AI shills crave the optics of legitimacy.

Nobody questions a negative review of a gaming handheld. But since AI broadly produces a ton of shit aside from a few uses, it's VITAL to shills to gloss over the shit and vaguely gesture at "potential".

Now it's not a review of a shit product, you're killing a ✨ startup ✨ building the ✨ future ✨.

@stevestreza Amen x 100.
Bros, chill. The ✨ future ✨is not dependent upon this one startup's shitty attempt.

Our cat Honey is getting old (she is about 16-17 years old now) and went through some pretty heavy health scares over the last year involving kidney disease and hypercalcemia and UTIs and more, but after a specialist and a whole bunch of medication 💸 and a year of worrying, the vet says we have turned the corner and have her heath issues under control, at least for now. Hug your fuzzy ones.

This is an important announcement, more important than the Apple developer news in the EU

Don't forget: Giving a musician $10 is worth as much as streaming their song 1,000 times on Apple Music and 2,500 times on Spotify.
