This is my experience as well. I have defined a CLAUDE.md rule to ask codex to automatically code review, and I tell it that the reviewer is very picky and to only implement what it considers valuable feedback. I hope they don't converge over time, currently, in combination they works really well.
Only they know what they are afraid of. But seems obvious that a feature like that should also be available with third-party headphones, the translation happens in the phone, not the AirPods. There is no technical reason other than locking users into their products.

I'm sure Apple would say that the experience would not be the same with other (lesser) headphones, and that damages the user experience, etc. Some people would believe that's the reason, but the EU won't and neither do I.

I am an EU resident and I'm about to cancel the APP3 order that I made. If Apple doesn't want to comply with the regulations that protect me(1) I'm not blaming the EU, I'm talking my money somewhere else.

Actually this is the second time I'm frustrated by this, I was surprised to discover that iPhone Mirroring is also blocked. This is strike 2 for me, one more and I won't buy another Apple product.

1) the EU has a lot of stupid regulations but the DMA is not one of them

It's not like you have to maintain a fork, it's pretty minimal, all you need is a Dockerfile with what you want and build the container. Other than that you just keep bumping the version like you would the standard distribution.

For example to use rate limiting I just have a Dockerfile like this:

FROM caddy:2.9.1-builder AS builder

RUN xcaddy build --with github.com/mholt/caddy-ratelimit

FROM caddy:2.9.1

COPY --from=builder /usr/bin/caddy /usr/bin/caddy

Re:Why HTTP/3 is eating the world on Thursday October 05, 2023 @12:21PM (#37780556)
Security and accessibility/simplicity are almost always at odds with each others. It's a tradeoff that needs to be made. You are entitled to dislike the current trend and prefer making security optional. But you can't possibly be surprised if most people are happy to prioritize their privacy and security over "the barrier of access to disruptive counter-corporate/counter-state information".
why is that? too heavy or is there another reason?
I would use that. Please go for it! It's so obvious to me. There's a giant discoverability gap in the whole fediverse thing that can be easily addressed. This is by design in mastodon, but I don't think these reddit alternatives are so against virality. The only risk is that the whole thing fizzles out so hard that even an aggregated view of the entire ecosystem doesn't produce enough content to keep people engaged.

If you do it, please keep in mind merging submissions and their comments, 6 separate entries for the same thing each with a couple of comments is a much worse experience than a single entry with a dozen comments. You can start by simply using the URL as a grouping key and try more sophisticated things later.

Is it automatically pulling content from all other instances??? That was not clear to me, I though it was some form of cross-posting and required someone to submit things.
Yes although me being primarily a lurker I need even less. More than post or comment, if I have an account it would be to block some things and prfioritize other things more closely. What you describe would make sense for more extended functionality, but there is silent majority of lazy lurkers like myself that could be served very easily.
Exactly, someone with more time than me please create a nice looking, lurker friendly, read-only aggregator with all the different content in all the different servers/communities. Ideally merging submissions and comments when possible. You would have me immediately as a user and I bet I wouldn’t be the only one.

It’s so obvious that I guess someone must have done it and I just haven’t heard about it yet.

To control it. If they are successful at making AMD cards competitive in AI, and I agree that what's missing it's only the software, that would create immense value for AMD. Too much to not have control over how it evolves. If they are successful it will not just be Hotz, he will hire other devs and an entire community will form around it.

Sure they could just fork it and try to continue development themselves, but the community and momentum might very well not go with them.

Re:The tiny corp raised $5.1M on Wednesday May 24, 2023 @08:08PM (#36065595)
Which would make total sense for AMD if they pull it off.

In many countries you can issue invoices without having a company or being a freelancer up to a certain amount. That should be everything Paddle needs.

Also, once upon a time, I checked with FastSpring (another alternative) if they could just withhold payouts until incorporation and they told me they can do that.

What's the market in this context is of course the interesting question.

At the end I ended up reincorporating in my country of residence. Which was a pity. But in the UK everything was extremely easy until it wasn't, I got spooked by that and preferred not to take further risks.
As someone who tried UK, opening a bank account not being a UK resident and without proof of existing UK customers was extremely challenging.
