If only we could adjust the plot of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetes to where it’s mostly just cleaning up dead starlink satellites.
In any case, highly recommended as a fantastic anime. And for those that haven’t seen it:

That’s a dubbed trailer, but those of you looking for a Japanese language trailer know where to find it or probably have already watched it lol
Yeah wait until we we have someone in power who gives a shit about science and then re-fund NASA and nationalize SpaceX under the NASA umbrella. (Pipe dreams, I know)
Agreed. For apple I imagine the biggest issue is that a system-wide ad blocker means that all of the AdAttributionKit and StoreKit stuff might get blocked and therefore it’s never an API they’d open to other general apps because it’s less revenue. That being said though, like I said VPNs can filter requests.
And the APIs already exist
https://support.apple.com/guide/deployment/web-content-filter-payload-settings-depc77c9609/web
But it’s exclusive to MDM providers which pay apple a boatload of money and are specifically integrating your app with an enterprise deployment scheme. Maybe the EU can rally to get apple to open up these APIs to power users
Edit: Forgot to mention that Firefox is also safari under the hood. Apple does not allow custom browsers. Firefox for iOS is safari with firefox trimmings.
It’s going to be safari only. There’s no API on iOS for system wide blocking unless it’s a third party VPN server filtering network requests.
Agreed, but just to clarify as the above commenter said, it is safari-only. VPN based ad blockers are basically the only way to block ads throughout iOS and they are all subscription based unless you are grandfathered in (like the early adblocker pro subscription mentioned above).
Edit: I forgot to mention, you can set up PiHole (https://pi-hole.net/) on your home network and then set up a small OpenVPN or Wireguard server on that network and install either
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/openvpn-connect-openvpn-app/id590379981
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/wireguard/id1441195209
So you still need a VPN app, but if it lives on your home network you don’t need a VPN subscription
The only way this will work as of now (at least in the US, I’m unsure how extensions may work on a third party App Store with the newer EU regulations) is if you use safari only. iOS allows for safari extensions from the App Store which already have things like ad blockers, but they definitely do not run within any third party apps. The code is certainly likely to be open source, but I definitely don’t see chrome/brave integrating it as part of their app bundle. Perhaps Firefox? In any case it’s up to each browser vendor to provide their own ad blocking system. For complete system wide adblocking on iOS you pretty much need a VPN.
Not true. I trust Tucker Carlson on this issue.
Wait, but he was the rebound for a nazi. So can he be the rebound for a nazi again if the other person is also a nazi?
Lol “is Tywin Lannister a major investor of the Lannisters?”
It appears so. The commenter said they saw a video, I said it was the first link in the article. I didn’t post a video nor make claims to its validity.
Meanwhile the top comment
It’s the first link in the article
Yeah even the first message sounds shitty outside of anything that isn’t a D/S kink lol. So many better ways to word that where it’s not “did you follow through with my demand?”
“Hey man checking on that body wash I asked you about”
“Oh sorry I forgot”
“No worries, since I don’t like your rose stuff, I’ll just pour a few coors lights over myself right before I dry off. Try to grab it next time you’re out if you can, thanks”
Why is it your job to get your roommate body wash? If he’s so picky about the soap he uses, tell him to get all dolled up and go buy it himself.
They already do pay-gate useful functionality, this is just an alternative revenue stream
Yeah they all have to get a speech from the person who is probably working hardest right now to gut their benefits when they get out of the service
Yeah I think it’s also because instagram prohibits linking directly to onlyfans, so for many it exists as an intermediary where they can still have that link but it’s not direct.
Yeah it’s usually a huge shift when a company goes public, and then their sole and highest priority is quarterly increase in profits to increase shareholder value, which generally means enshittification of everything to make a few more cents on the dollar.
So to add to your regulations, I think a “slow burn” version of the stock market needs to exist. Rather than hyper quant AI hedge fund trading by the second, stock purchases should be a required hold for a period of time, like a bond. If you truly believe in the company, you believe in its more long term growth than tomorrow’s trade show or that one tweet that Elon made.
Haha no worries awesome person, I’m also a little intoxicated, had a good work breakthrough this week (lol doing my job working on a mobile app) so I’m celebrating myself. I run the mobile iOS and Android app teams at the company I work for so I appreciate the kind compliments that remind me that maybe I’m not an imposter.
That being said, totally agree. To be honest, the developer experience on Apple/Swift/App Store is like light years above what it’s like for Android/Kotlin/Play Store but I am frequently frustrated by Apple restrictions, so it it’s always “the grass is basically just as green on both sides.”
