@viticci thank you 🇪🇺

Cuee all the 🇺🇸 tech bros whining about 🇪🇺

@viticci

No, Apple still has to approve thrid party app stores and is still standing there between developer and user.

There is also iOS standing in the way. Computers are not a certan set of features, they are universal, having ALL the features. To be a computer for the user you need to let it run any program, directly on the processor, not API layer of iOS.

@viticci yep, but for people that are not that skilled it is confusing. My mom called me the other day, which browser she should use that her phone is asking her...🤦🏻‍♂️ of course I recommend Safari, because other browsers sucks on iOS. But she wasn't sure.

Regulation in this space cannot come soon enough.

AI companies that want to scrape the web for training purposes, or use their bots to summarize webpages, should follow a strict set of guidelines with identifiable user-agents and IP addresses.

Publishers should have a right to opt out of any AI access, request details as to whether their copyrighted content is included in any model, and if so, request that its gets removed and the model re-trained.

Hopefully the EU's AI Act will help.

@viticci Except that not making iPhones work like Macs for installing apps was what made the experience so pleasant. Not looking forward to my phone turning into the mess that PCs became that requires tons of decision making and regulated by idiotic governments around the world.

@viticci It astounds me that Apple has been able to hold on to veto power over developers for so long. And that it translates into veto power over the capabilities of end users. I remember having antitrust discussions all the way back when the AppStore launched. We knew this would happen.

@viticci agreed. The blocker to this would be a small group of AppStore executives who care about their million dollar bonuses more than apps or customers. Incentives are greed based 😤

@viticci Using the Italian localization, “Mussolini” doesn’t show up, even when you type “mussolin”. You need to type the whole surname.

@viticci in this case you should definitely avoid saying Hi…

@viticci Hmm …

@viticci 😂😂

@viticci nephew delete this

@viticci elephants (and relatives) are cool now
