- Comment on Mozilla launches ad blocking for Firefox on iOS 6 days ago:
Right, but some people do live in the EU.
I understand the argument is that it would be too much work to make the browser just for people that live in the EU, but building features that most people don’t want to use seems to be their M.O, anyway.
And also, if people outside get jealous that they get to use genuine extensions in their browser, perhaps they could put pressure on apple to do the right thing. Open source is basically dead on ios, so it’d be great to see a bigger player try to do something about this.
- Comment on Mozilla launches ad blocking for Firefox on iOS 1 week ago:
I’m not sure that’s completely true, but you might prove me wrong; As far as I’m aware, the issue is that a browser must be rendered in WebKit in order to be available in the appstore.
For lucky users in the EU, that needn’t be such an issue any more.
In addition, I’d like to see more popular apps offered outside of the appstore to get around apple’s illegal bullshit. With luck, applying more pressure worldwide, as users outside of the EU see how good it could be if you don’t allow the oligarchs to always get their own way.

nope. The project to port gecko to ios has been ‘in progress’ for years, but AI takes priority.

- Comment on Electric cars are starting to take over the world 2 months ago:
I agree with everything you’ve said there, but I don’t see how “electric cars taking over the world” has got anything to do with getting people onto bikes.
So, for me, it’s not ‘perfect being the enemy of good’, because in this sense the news is not good.

No, your government should be moving away from using an american company for ‘security’ verification.

obviously, not via their app stores. the EU really needs to slap them harder, especially apple in this case, for their malicious compliance.

- Comment on The Setapp Mobile iOS store is shutting down on February 16th 7 months ago:
The fact that they so maliciously complied with the EU ruling on app stores just made the whole thing doomed from the start. As you mentioned, it’s not the app store that anyone really cares about, it’s the apps.
Apple making it equally ball-breaking to get an app blessed for install meant that there was no real increase in the number of FOSS apps available for the platform.
So it was all worth it, paying the fines, taking the hit of a few mean articles online. Now, apple gets to say that they told us so, and the monopoly lives on.
All while setting the precedent that google has now gone on to copy. Great!
