They will try. This is about OS-level APIs. In order for a browser to to install and run PWAs, it needs certain OS APIs for e.g. home screen installation, storage and notifications. iOS currently has these APIs but Safari severely limits what you can do with it. Now the DMA will force Apple to accept other browsers, which have no such limitations. So, Apple now wants to remove these APIs altogether and kill PWA support outright, before that portion of the DMA takes effect.

There probably will be a lawsuit and Apple will probably lose, but it will take years to resolve that. And in the mean time PWAs remain dead and the only way on the iOS home screen in paying the 30% app store cut.

Is it irritating to read multi-page comics as one long strip?

For me, it's great this way. As long as it is a direct image link. That way my browser does the scaling and I can easy zoom in. Some sites (like imgur) prevent you from direcltly opening the image, prevent zooming and even downscale the image to a blurry mess.

There's also browser extensions like "old reddit redirect". They ensure you're always on the good version of reddit.

There is no cloud. Only someone else's computer.

Ark is total madness. Every map has a copy of every dinosaur. Not just the dinos for that map, but all dinos in the game. That's because you can transfer dinos, so somebody may transfer a dino to your map from a mao that you don't have the DLC for. And you still need to be able to see and interact with that dino.

I wonder if the new Ark Ascended fixed that.

From the title of the screenshot I was sure it was going to be about daemons.

According to the article there aren't any. That's why he filed in Texas. I do wonder how he can file in Texas if neither X nor Media Matters is located there. Doesn't that make it simple to file a motion to move the case to California and then use their anti-SLAPP laws?

No Man's Sky is a great redemption arc, but it would have been better if the game hadn't sucked at launch

Hi. Apologies if this is not the correct community. It appears that recently my Disney+ on my Samsung TV has started autoplaying the next episode in a series. But in my profile, autoplay has been turned off. Having autoplay off used to work fine but now it started autoplaying again.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Any known fixes? Thanks in advance!

I want to create a new thread. I am subscribed to technology@beehaw.org, but how can I post a new thread on it? When I go to the "Add thread" screen, the magazine dropdown appears to only show local kbin magazines.

Can I post new threads directly to a lemmy community from kbin? Or can I at least crosspost to a kbin magazine and a lemmy community? If so, how?

Thanks in advance for all the help!

In a lot of places, it is. They have laws requiring the ability to unsubscribe using the same method/medium as you subscribe.

I've seen a surgery documentary on TV about transitioning. They showed the surgeon doing the breast surgery. It was all uncensored, nipples and all, until the very second the doc put the silicone bag under the skin. Then they pixelated the nipple. The same nipple they were showing all along.

Unity is not a product, it's an ongoing subscription. You can distribute Unity as part of your game as long as you have a subscription.They changed the terms of the subscription for next year. If you don't have a subscription then you cannot redistribute Unity. So your choice is to either accept the new terms, or pull your game from the stores.

Compulsory licensing for streaming should be a thing. It exists for radio, why not video? Let services get 1-2 years of exclusivity. After that it's fair game for any streaming service to stream it. All services pay into a pool that gets refistributed to the rights holders. We have been doing that for decades for radio, for the EU blank media tax, etc. It's a solved problem.
