> But they benefit from accessing their work email, Teams chat, calendar, etc. from their phones.
No, they don't benefit (cause it means they check work mail on weekends or evenings), but their employer do...
It, for sure, saved author’s time writing this article
I have mixed feelings... I stumbled upon, read a post-mortem that looks even more AI-generated than the article.
"That says something about my writing. It says nothing about who wrote it." - Two contradicting sentences, author's writing skills are part of the author as-a-whole
"The short sentences, the reversals, the one-word lines" and then "I will write the next one plainer.". - even more?
And... I wonder if this is like some agent wrote article, and, in the loop, added port-mortem, after visiting hacker-news comments and manipulate that this is human written. Or maybe author is just trolling us with AI-like prose...
It was AI generated, don't be to demanding ;)
Same here, I scratched my head for couple of seconds after seeing that first step is "Sand" thinking "maybe it starts with planting potatoes" :D
We have pricey PCs, consoles and other electronics, but at least we have AI
Just another anecdote to support author point of view, without any evidence. Also, looks like “ai” generated.
It looks like generated by "AI", so I recommend taka a dose of scepticism before reading.
I considered buying bambu lab A1, bout watching this and previous dramas I rather go with different vendor. Are there any good alternatives for newcomers? I like hacker nature and openness of Prusa, but I’m worried if it is good printer as a first one…
In my opinion these guys just don't give a sh** on "stupid sizing bugs". Those who cares about how they software behaves and looks like realises after a while that most of AI claims are scam.
Why people publish AI written articles? If I would like to read AI I can just prompt it myself, and when I read something on someone blog I expect that I will read thoughts of this particular human being...
I wonder how it is that we, as the users, allow it when iOS started allowing third-party. After that we accepted that macOS is more and more closed platform. And I'm hearing constantly something like "Yes, that's wrong, but at least platform is secure". For me security is less about how much platform is closed and more about how educated users are.
On the side note that is interesting, that when first iOS version was released Apple talked that "PWA" will be the future, and nowadays Apple do everything to suppress PWA ;)
Is there a way to selfhost this?
I don’t know if it is purposeful, but sounds a bit like amnesia :)
You have to pay apple 150$ annually for the pleasure of notarisation, even if you make open-source apps. Yet you cannot distribute apps outside store on mobile (besides in eu, but not really, but is't topic on its own…).
Also WebUSB, WebMIDI. Not to mention that you can’t develop an app for you (and your family and friends) without have developer subscription :(

If I may suggest, Swift support will be more than appreciated, to consider it for a viable protocol for connecting backend with mobile applications.
Can someone invite me as well? :)
Apple artificial move to encourage people to upgrade… if they could release security update for older iPhones they can release it for the rest of models…
Thanks, I will check your approach. And your app as well, looks beautiful and useful.

I agree, but if I would have to type one most insulting things with AI is scraping data without consent to train models, so people no longer enjoy blog posting :(
I would say they have direct control, as they have to bless app before even it can be published on other stores and can revoke this blessing anytime.
Such a big piece of history and a de facto standard for managing dependencies for Apple platforms for years.
Big "thank you" to all maintainers for your great job! And respect that you recognise moment when ecosystem changed and have courage to deprecate library instead of maintaining it forever - to leave place for migrating to new, superior solutions
It is interesting, that when Apple, with small steps, slowly disallowed any kind of sideloading merely nobody took notice of it... and now Google is doing the same, and whole internet protest. Who knows, maybe fact that now there is no alternative for tech-savy, and people are angry now it is good thing in longer perspective for both platforms.
