   I’m feeling pretty strongly that with the EU / US ‘forking’ of iOS thanks to the DMA, the only people who really being helped here are other tech giants and not users and small developers like us.

   Well written by @gruber. https://daringfireball.net/2024/09/the_ios_continental_drift_widens

     @sdw @gruber Please just let me run executables on iOS the same way you can run them on any other computing device. It's bizarre that Apple has any say at all over what you do with the hardware after the point of purchase.

     @Gargron @sdw @gruber Imagine this many smartphones / devices in the US, first needing permission from an EU company via an active internet connection to permit to be used / launched.
     It would never ever be allowed by the US government….

     @Gargron @sdw @gruber It’s the product they’re selling, they’re not hiding it. Just buy something else.
