lol more likely than not it will be an incredibly expensive thing so unless you’re super wealthy you’ll need to spend most of your reincarnated life working to pay for it
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.”
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.
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.
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
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.
Yeah that was my thinking as well, the idea that people stop filing their taxes doesn't do much when the system to get the money from your paycheck to the government mostly doesn't involve you
I believe they can see it because they're an admin of their own instance vs a standard user (I also cannot see who voted, and I think the API keeps that data private for everyone except admins)
Doesn't seem to be part of the definitions on the first page, but I've also always pronounced it "maggot" because they are willing to eat literal shit from their orange false king as long as they are convinced the libs are eating day-older shit
A little, but not that much. The federal government already has most of the money because of tax withholding from employers. When you file taxes as an employee you're just balancing what's leftover and playing "did I over or under pay even though you already know that." It would require the state preventing employers from withholding or sending money to the IRS on behalf of their employees, and I doubt companies would just unilaterally stop doing that.
Also employers would need to all simultaneously stop withholding taxes from employee paychecks for federal taxes, since you can't just update your W-2 to a $0 withholding without claiming dependents, multiple other jobs, etc. You don't "choose" your withholding, you just check the boxes that calculates the minimum withholding.
Because somehow they’re always smarter and will come out on top
Both of them benefit from having enemies that the public blame while the systems below them are ripped apart to build the new worlds that ate currently being argued about like babies on twitter.
That’s really interesting, thanks for sharing
