Over 1,500 developers in the UK are suing Apple over the company's "excessive" App Store fees.
Same, i used to sub with Spotify, in the last 2 years i've been on Apple music, they even have better collection and playlists of non-english music. Spotify is full of rap music and so hard to discover anything else unless you know what you are searching for.

As we often report here, it’s common for tech companies to help each other improve their security systems by sharing zero-day exploits found by security researchers. Google, for example, does this a lot. But recently, an Apple employee reportedly found a zero-day exploit in Google Chrome – and that bug was never reported to Apple by that person.
Calls proposed legislation "a serious and direct threat" to security and privacy.
Apple has warned that it will shut down services such as FaceTime and iMessage in the U.K. if the government goes ahead with controversial legislation.
A proposed update to the Investigatory Powers Act 2016 is currently in open consultation. Members of the public are invited to offer feedback on the amendments, which include a requirement for messaging services to notify the Home Office, a department of the British Government that handles immigration, security, and law and order, of new security features before they are rolled out, and the right for the Home Office to privately demand that security features be disabled immediately. Under current legislation, the latter can be requested, but there is an independent oversight process and room for appeal before action is taken.

Hi,
I thought we could make a list of open source Swift projects that's open to public contribution. Which is one of the most effective ways to really learn programming.
We could follow this template to make it easy for readers:

Most of them are either FB or IG users anyway, so their data are already being taken.
They want to keep the top content creators from considering threads. Threads is a real threat to twitter specially with all the issues around twitter atm.
A new deal on EU-US data flows has been agreed. But concerns persist about government surveillance, and companies face further uncertainty.
A new deal on data transfers between the EU and US has alarmed businesses and privacy campaigners.
The pact, known as the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, was announced on Monday by the European Commission. The EU’s executive body concluded that the US offered an “adequate level of protection” for data transfers under the new arrangements.
The framework replaces the Privacy Shield, which the EU’s top court had struck down in July 2020 over concerns that the US didn’t provide sufficient protection against government surveillance.
The EU, US, and China are entangled into what's seen as an escalating chip war. Here's how the situation has developed so far.
Signs of an escalating chip trade war were evident already in October last year. Now, a set of new strategic measures have further ignited the conflict, raising fears over the stability of the global supply chain, and even threatening to derail the EU’s green transition.
yeah seems so. and i'm not sure if software companies really wants that.
Outverse wants to power communities for PLG companies, serving as a 'centralized knowledge ecosystem' for software firms.
Founded out of London in 2021, Outverse is looking to tackle a similar problem to what the likes of Commsor, Common Room, Threado, Talkbase and Crowd.dev are striving to solve, but with a different approach — its mission is to build what it calls a “full-stack community platform” for software companies, replete with forums, knowledge bases, and product documentation.
SUSE today announced that it is forking Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). Here's the history of why that's happening.
Today, SUSE announced that it is creating a hard fork of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and that it will develop and maintain an RHEL-compatible distribution. SUSE says that it will invest $10 million into this project over the coming years. One major open source company forking another major open source company’s project is equivalent to going nuclear. But there’s a reason SUSE is doing this now, and that it will likely be championed by many in the open source community. It’s a complicated story.

during the lockdown i tried to connect my WP personal blog to a tumblr account i had from years ago, the tech community their almost don't exist, specially if compared to other social media platforms. Not sure about them now tho.
Who still uses tumblr 😄
As of today it wouldn’t be that hard, alternatives are available and some of them are as good but don’t have the same market share.
People are moving away from twitter because it’s full of spam, nudity and bullying. That doesn’t makes twitter any unique and/or worthy, that makes it toxic place to be in.
Freedom of speech and (nudity, bullying) are not the same thing.

Saw this on reddit, good quality tutorial.
if facebook and ig are allowed then threads will get the approval anytime soon anyway.
Want to create devices that interact with the physical world? This cookbook is perfect for anyone who wants to experiment with the popular Arduino microcontroller and programming environment. You’ll find … - Selection from Arduino Cookbook, 3rd Edition [Book]
I’ve been following this book while practicing on Arduino during the last 2 months, and I found it extremely helpful.
Tbh much of the content is already on the official documentation, but it’s more precise and directed in the book.
While the content itself is spot on, some of the code examples does not work/compile on the current Arduino ide.
The UK's data protection reforms will open a 'leaky valve' over Europe, according to privacy campaigners.
name.com is a good choice to consider, but they are more expensive than google domains.
the main benefit of this, is that you can self-replace the battery when it becomes excessively degraded and doesn't hold charge as good as a healthy battery. otherwise you'd still need a power-bank for your other tech, such as AirPods or similar stuff.
name.com is really a solid choice, I have used them for over 15 years now, but they are definitely not cheap.
Seems like they want to focus more on AI, IoT and smartphones.
I just tried Calckey it looks more polished UI-wise than any other Fediverse platform I have seen so far. I think Calckey would make an excellent social platform for the public (non-tech) users.
Pixelfed is also an excellent Instagram alternative, it reminds me of how Instagram used to be before the Facebook acquisition. Their iOS beta app is in good shape as well.
What about trying to contact rust devs from outside the fediverse/lemmy community? Maybe some of them don't know about the lemmy project, but they'll find it interesting and join the dev team.
it's easier and faster to save and search notes written in small chunks in Logseq than Obsidian IME, but the pain is when you have to write/format an article-like content.
