Clear indicator that Apple's DMA implementation never actually met its obligations under the DMA in the first place. Apple scared developers away from ever signing up to their poison pill Core Technology Fee terms, so alternative app stores simply have no apps to offer.

I have now discovered multiple times that some song in my Spotify discovery Playlist is AI generated. Signs:
- generic song & album art
- all music released since 2025
- no real artist bio
Example:

The Fediverse feels more vibrant when conversations are buzzing! Mastodon 4.5 fetches replies from other servers to show you more complete conversation threads - another much-anticipated feature.

Родиться достаточно давно, чтобы застать ещё не эншиттифицированный интернет и софт, и потом жить с этим знанием — это то ещё проклятье, конечно

As a European, the changes in the DMA have had zero negative impact upon me, or indeed anybody I know, except for the ways in which Apple chooses to selectively apply the laws to punish its users and developers.
Where Apple complains about 'developers accessing notifications', I see news […]

Good. Then force those corporations to set up independent corporations in the EU, the same way the US wants to do to TikTok. Otherwise ban Google, Meta, and Apple from here. Nothing would be better than the US' fascist "freedoms" to leave the EU.
Big Tech Companies in the US Have Been Told Not to Apply the Digital Services Act
The FTC notified companies like Google, Meta, and Apple that they must not apply the Digital Services Act, which regulates digital platforms, if it jeopardizes the freedom of Americans.

Must-read:
So-called "age verification" laws are spreading.
They will not protect kids.
They are grossly insecure.
They will be tools of censorship, surveillance, and oppression.
They amount to requiring a license to speak -- and to read.

I realized why us millennials miss the technology of the 2000s and early 2010s so much.
