> 1Password tried SwiftUI for their Mac app
1Password had a beautiful native Mac app that works to this day. Even assuming SwiftUI is actually bad, why did they have to migrate at all? What was wrong with the existing app?
I'm not disagreeing with the opinions on Apple software quality, but I think the 1Password case is more down to their taking of VC money and having to give (JS) devs some busywork to rebuild something that worked perfectly well.
1Password is also now subscription only and online only. Gone are the days of a forever license and fully offline encrypted database allowing for 3rd party syncing via iCloud or others. The death of their old app went hand in hand with their race to the bottom subscription payment VC backed ecosystem. It's only time until they suffer a breach like everyone else.

(OP here) I discussed how the DRM works in an earlier blog post - https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2025/03/some-thoughts-on-lcp-ebook-...
Essentially, the key for decrypting the files is made up of the book owner's passphrase and the super-secret key embedded in the closed-source binary.
I wasn't able to reverse engineer the binary or extract that key.

Decoding ancient scrolls has no relevance to government procedures.

It’s already happened, for instance there are multiple blocklists that try to remove as many furries as possible (which personally is a benefit, although you may think differently). We also have more political ones, mostly anti-“right wing” as bsky trends more “left”. The more extreme elements of Twitter were the first to evacuate, so it’s no surprise that they’re already attempting to rebuild their algorithmically defined echo chambers. Dissenting opinions cause 3d6 psychic damage, after all.

> He compared Johansson’s case to one brought by the singer Bette Midler against the Ford Motor Company in the 1980s. Ford asked Midler to use her voice in ads. After she declined, Ford hired an impersonator. The U.S. appellate courts ruled in Midler’s favor, indicating her voice was protected against unauthorized use.
This is a pretty loaded headline… states absolutely have the right to pre-empt local authority.
Get these things changed at the state level.
