Rebecca Boyle’s Our Moon talks a lot about this. A fascinating read!


For me, it’s "The Pine Barrens". It’s boring, but he did make it interesting. For a while, at least.


the comments on this post are pretty diverse.


The tussle between usability and security.


does this mean apple cannot come up with new features unless they support interoperability? Isn’t that taking away the incentive to innovate?


Only if the new features violate the obligations of a DMA gatekeeper. 120Hz screen is fine, 120Hz screen that runs at 60Hz for all 3rd party apps is not.

It enhances the incentive to innovate for smaller companies who would otherwise be locked out by Apple. This ruling for instance will allow smartwatch mfgs to compete with Apple on a level playing field for iOS users' money.


It means they can't artificially limit what users are able to do with devices they own.

Ie. if Apple can use a device feature in their own apps, developers should be able to use the same feature and users should be able to get that app, whether through the store or sideloaded.

The whole EU argument is "users paid for this device, it belongs to them"


I wish.

All these walled gardens and lock in nonsense need to get wiped off the face of this earth. I'd rather they got banned and stopped existing than suffer the status quo where iPhone users look down on us inferior Android users because we got segregated by speech bubble color.

Not that Android is hackable these days anyway. Remote attestation, yet another thing that needs to get banned. It should be illegal for them to discriminate against us in any way whatsoever on the basis of the hardware or software we choose to use. They should serve us whether we use iPhones or Linux on a tamagotchi.


That’s weird. You acknowledge that there is a choice between iPhone and android but want to take that choice away from iPhone users because you feel like they look down on you. Honestly, I think most of the anti Apple sentiment I hear on HN falls into this kind of bucket.


Linux didn't stop being innovative and it's the most interoperable OS there is. No Apple excuses are accepted.


The UE doesn't benefit that much from Apple's innovation, if any. But Apple's stock owners do.


Apple customers benefit immensely.


Yes.

I miss the early academic internet with at least a couple of links every sentence. :)


Piquant and jejune?


That’s awesome! Can someone point me to a similar minimal web/editableContent implementation? Would love to learn from it.


The heavy part is contenteditable is usually a million workarounds for weird browser specific stuff, which is why DIY is very risky there… or it was. I haven’t explored contenteditable from scratch since the final death of IE11. Might not be as crazy today.
