WHOA! This is IMPORTANT!!! I can see #Apple doing this to bypass the cell carriers and possibly do internet over satellite and voice the same way!

So, when presented with the option to buy an Apple II clone, with a floppy drive and 182 floppy disks, is this just a hobbyist purchase or a philanthropic journey? Someone send me some AppleSauce. Boost if you agree.

In the near-term, the EU’s regulatory flex is a roadmap for a feature starved version of iOS in the EU. If Apple has to fork iOS anyway, the safe bet is to withhold features from EU users; reducing regulatory risk, containing security exposure, and limiting development investment in the iOS fork.

The EU wants Apple make iOS available to everyone who wants access to it, and to sacrifice the tight vertical integration that makes it valuable to consumers. It regards iOS as a public utility, and is trying to nationalize it without acknowledging it’s doing so. There might be a point when operating in the EU is financially untenable for Apple; if it has to destroy the user experience and increase security exposure for the reward of less money.

Anyone tried https://localsend.org already as a replacement for Apple's airdrop?

I'm especially interested in cross-platform usage experience. E.g. Apple <--> Linux & Android <--> Apple/iOS. Target group is teens & schools.

Also, how secure is this solution?

Feel free to boost this :)

Thanks in advance!
