> do they strike news channels when copyrighted music plays in the background without their control too?

Yes, they do. In Brazil, to avoid some news reports about stores selling contraband items, the store owners started playing Disney songs in the background, meaning they weren't able to publish the videos or broadcast them.

tesselaon Stop Using Face ID

… or you can just close your eyes, and move your face around. The device will not unlock if you're not looking at it and after 3 or 4 tries will ask for the password.

tesselaon Apple to soon take up to 30% cut from all Patreon creators in iOS app

I remember writing apps for PalmOS (long time ago) distributors like PalmGear took over 60% from international developers like me, plus they held your earnings until you hit a minimum payout threshold. Add bank fees on top of that, and it was basically not worth developing for the platform. 30% felt like a godsend in comparison. (I'm not defending the Apple / Google tax)

tesselaon Prioritize work at the task level

I hope this helps people to consider Swift 6 as a viable option for server-side development, since it offers many of the modern safety features of Rust, including simpler memory management through ARC, compared to Rust’s more complex ownership system and more predictable than Go's garbage collector.

tesselaon HTML attributes for improved accessibility and user experience

re: controls

Custom controls are the enshittification of the <video> tag. IMHO there's no custom video component that allows the user to control volume, picture-in-picture, AirPlay, control speed and scrubbing better than the standard controls, especially on mobile.

from https://developer.apple.com/support/enrollment/

Do I need to enroll to install apps on a device? No. You can install apps on a device for free with Xcode. You’ll only need to enroll if you’d like to distribute apps, access beta software, and integrate with capabilities such as Siri, Apple Pay, and iCloud.

So, Epic, Spotify and Tinder can make their stores, they just need to automate the process.
