@danielpunkass The DMA makes no mention of PWAs. I think WebKit-only PWAs are in compliance with the DMA. The DMA is about web browsers, not apps made with web views.
@manton You don’t buy their claim that DMA says they need to allow for parity between browser engines? And that it would introduce security concerns that they’re not interested in solving for at this point? Not sure where I stand on this, but I lean toward more laissez-faire than most opinions I see.
@jarrod I don't buy it. The DMA is focused mostly on browser engines in actual web browsers. The rest is vague and up for interpretation, and Apple has chosen the worst interpretation for users.
@manton Even though I look forward to the discussion on Core Int, I believe @danielpunkass will struggle with that opinion.
I think this is a really bad look for Apple.
@furstenberg @danielpunkass On the next show, we just talk about the Vision Pro. 🙂 We'll have to follow up about the DMA later, but this week I was feeling burned out on the topic.
@manton @danielpunkass We have a entire branch of government dedicated to interpreting the Constitution so I’m sure we will need something similar for EU regulations coz we cannot trust companies to act in the public interest unless they’re forced or very specifically told how they should. They’ll always claim to follow the letter and not the intent of the law coz the latter is never clearly interpreted anyway
@manton As a web developer, it’s an interesting time with the disappointing handling of the DMA and the exciting launch of Vision Pro.
@pratik @manton @danielpunkass Yeah, it can't be easy writing laws, when you know companies will contort reality into a user hostile mess to avoid the spirit of it...
Apple is making this as bad and complicated as possible (to the detriment of both users and developers), and hope people will blame the EU. And sadly many are falling for it. 😕
