So uh… Apple should really rethink the Private Cloud Compute developer access limitation. I do happen to have an app that’s had more than 2 million downloads. An app that’s been in the App Store for over 10 years. And I’m also not making any real money with it 🥲 #wwdc26

With Google now force feeding AI in their search, DuckDuckGo (where AI is always optional) is moving up the charts! Now is the time: Fire Google.

Built Bouncer 7 years ago to filter SMS spam. Not much changes since. No algo. No AI. No bullshit. Just a wordlist. This is what simple solutions look like: a few words get rid of 99% of spam. Still works perfectly today. We devs overcomplicate everything. Build your copy or grab it from the App Store. github.com/afterxleep/Bounce…

We just added o3-mini to Duck.ai (DuckDuckGo's private AI chat service where you can chat with popular models for free). It's pretty great, you should check it out -- no account needed!

If only they’d done this sooner - we could be charging our iPhones with one of these right now.
It’s time for THE charger. Today, the USB-C becomes officially the common standard for charging electronic devices in the EU. It means better-charging technology, reduced e-waste, and less fuss to find the chargers you need. #DigitalEU

Called it almost three years ago to the day! Google doesn't change.
“The death of the cookie then and even more so now, is greatly exaggerated,” says Kamyl Bazbaz, vice president of communications at @DuckDuckGo, the famously privacy-focused search engine and outspoken opponent of the Privacy Sandbox’s proposed solutions. thedrum.com/news/2021/06/24/…

With the pre-order of Vision Pro, I believe it's the best time to introduce my app for the newest Apple platform ever. Introducing Pi Stats for Mac OS X Tiger. tiger-pistats.com

Apple created a private communication system, and runs its own infrastructure for it. A 3rd-party app reverse-engineered the system and injected itself in while letting Apple carry the server burden. Oh, and attempted to charge $ for it. How is Apple in the wrong here, exactly?
Green bubble texts are less secure. So why would Apple block a new app allowing Android users to chat with iPhone users on iMessage? Big Tech executives are protecting profits by squashing competitors. Chatting between different platforms should be easy and secure.

This is what a brand new empty React Native project creates 🔥🐶 - 548 dependencies in node_modules - 56 pods - iOS building with 5200 warnings What a beautiful house of cards. How do people make apps with this? 🫣
