I follow him, and despite being an Apple commentator, he can be very critical of Apple. You might have missed this from earlier this year: https://daringfireball.net/2025/03/something_is_rotten_in_th...

This year the Apple leadership didn't visit his Talkshow anymore. Likely as a response to this article.

Only for security vulnerabilities that "Apple is aware may have been actively exploited". And almost never for any bug fixes (and sadly, Apple now tends to push off bug fixes to the next major release/"n+1" rather than fix bugs in the major version in which they were introduced).

They also support updating Safari for 2 versions back of macOS.

jurmous commented on Koog, a Kotlin-based framework to build and run Al agents in idiomatic Kotlin github.com/JetBrains/koog... · Posted by u/prof18

I’m a Kotlin dev, and Koog feels like a breath of fresh air being able to spin up agents with a typesafe, Kotlin-native DSL is really nice. The magic for me is the ability to swap between OpenAI, Anthropic, or your own Llama with zero friction. Plus, the smart history compression already looks like it’ll save a ton on tokens, and the streaming + persistent memory hooks look nice too! Can’t wait to dig in and see how it holds up in a real project!

I prefer the Kotlin route. It is also supported by a foundation of multiple companies which includes Google and Kotlin is the native language for Android. It supports more targets already for years with Kotlin Native. And recently the Compose iOS target became stable with 1.8 enabling cross platform UI development. It is easier to integrate with native components.

Also the web stack (incl Wasm) got some big updates.

Why would Google still invest in Flutter and Dart when Kotlin is becoming this versatile?

Are there long term advantages with Dart which I am missing?

> More than that though, there’s simply no good competitor. Maybe, one day, Bluesky can take over, but it’s too small and too self-congratulatory currently. Like most of these starter platforms, the majority of posts seem to be about the network itself, rather than the world outside of it.

I don't recognize the authors comment that it is only about Bluesky. It likely all depends on who you follow.

I have now been a few months on Bluesky and havent looked back. I noticed many thinkers I followed did continue on Bluesky and I noticed there is a much less toxic community which is a big win for my mental health.

jurmous commented on EU looks to hit Big Tech in crackdown on US services exports ft.com/content/8d37105e-9... · Posted by u/gehwartzen

As an EU citizen, I think we have no choice but to be tough here. Trump’s tariffs aren’t something we asked for, but backing down isn’t an option either—he’ll just keep pushing. Targeting US services, especially big tech, makes sense because it hits where the US is genuinely vulnerable, and Europe can’t match them dollar-for-dollar on goods alone.

Look, I’d prefer a cooperative relationship too, but diplomacy clearly hasn’t worked. The US administration needs to understand that actions have consequences, and if this means leveraging our market strength and standing firm, then that’s exactly what we have to do. If the EU doesn’t respond decisively, we’ll only embolden more aggressive policies from Trump’s side.

We’ve tried being patient. Now it’s about showing we won’t be pushed around.

They've been doing it for years prior to the new tariffs.

Seems the EU is keen to regulate it's tech sector into nothingness, only stodgy big corporate crap like SAP making it through, and then when the good tech, which logically must appear overseas, shows up on their shores, they spitefully fine them constantly for everything they can think of.

Seems they're ruled by their worst.

The EU isn’t trying to “rob” American tech companies or punish them just out of spite. They’ve introduced strict regulations like GDPR or the Digital Markets Act, because they’re genuinely concerned about protecting consumer rights, privacy, and maintaining fair compettion. These aren’t random fines aimed only at US firms, European companies get fined too if they break the rules.

It’s true Europe struggles to build big global tech companies, but that’s mainly due to factors like fragmented markets, less venture capital, and more cautious investors, not just regulation. Cities like Berlin, Amsterdam, and Stockholm actually have thriving tech scenes despite these rules.

So it’s really not about hurting US tech, it’s more about making sure huge companies, wherever they’re from, follow clear rules and don’t abuse their market power.

Mine doesn't seem to. I have a US Apple Watch that I use outside the US all the time. Non-US account/app store too.

jurmous · 6 months ago

I was reading it is based on the part numbers and it is a different number for US bought watches.

If number ends with LW/A you will not have it
