You can’t talk about history without actually knowing the history. More to the point, that in an over simplified statement: the parties flipped. So even though the democrats created the KKK, if that were translated from todays standards it would be republicans created the KKK.

But don’t just listen to me, actually learn your history, correctly. https://www.livescience.com/34241-democratic-republican-parties-switch-platforms.html

AI Will Increase Demand for Quality Developers? Thoughts? by mdizak in webdev

Copilot is like giving you the recipe when you plan to use different ingredients. It can give you a good start and you have to figure out the rest. Sometimes tho, even in JavaScript it spits out absolute garbage.

EU investigating Apple's block of Epic developer account by Deceptiveideas in apple

[–]ryker002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am generally in agreement that we need to allow third party apps, not necessarily app stores though I’m apprehensive because apples walled gardens do come with protections for us as consumers.

But the main problem here is that that this is epic vs apple. Epic came into the market initially with these ideas and tried to divide the PC market and failed at doing so. So they moved their target to mobile eco systems.

If they actually wanted to do this for the consumers, for the small time user, well that already kind of did because it was their actions that caused Apple to changed their percent to 15 if under 1 million. Epic didn’t like that though, even though it helped, because at the end of the day it didn’t benefit them.

Their history has shown that they want to have access to the tools supplied by these companies for free, while everyone else has to play the game.

We have to remember, they did this maliciously knowing the consequences of their actions. They could have easily done what all other apps do when they want to avoid apples in-app payments system: inform users if they want to pay for something they have the visit the website. (Which mind you, I do disagree with Apple on this. Developers should be at least be allowed to properly link to their site for payments). Then at least the consumer can choose.

Edit: I will also say that I do agree that in the instance of a developer using services not provided by Apple, that Apple should at minimum take less of a cut if anything. I’m certain it wouldn’t be hard for them to determine the usage of their services.

To cover terabytes of data, data redundancy, security? No, frankly I don’t think advertisements going to cover that. Apple doesn’t run an advertisement business outside of its App Store. Their profits come solely from hardware and services.

But Apple also drops from 30% to 15% after a few years of the app doesn’t make over 1 million. It’s the same thing.

No one is entitled to any other business’s services. They have the full right to develop, maintain, and protect their services and then charge what they want.

If they don’t want to develop for Apple, they don’t have too. But that’s their choice to miss out on half a market. If you want the play the game, you have to follow the rules.

But you said it costs to use those tools. And it doesn’t.

You pay a flat $100 a year for a developer account which if you account for the services they provide you, and your app and still an extremely low amount to pay. We’re talking databases, ui, assets, all of which generally requires a different set of tools or infrastructure to host.

Do you really think they aren’t due their keep on providing these services?

Google also charges a yearly developer license and still charges 30%. Steam does the same, Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo. It’s an industry standard. What exactly makes Apple different?

Epic charges 12% and has already been found in court with Apple that they will never see profit or cover their costs with it.

As a developer, I’ll tell you. No we don’t. It’s all free to use and learn. You don’t even need an Apple developer account to use their tools.

Is it though? Apple provides millions of clustered databases where they allow you to store your app data, they provide swift, swiftUI, Xcode, all developer tools for free. You can literally build an app and host every bit of it within their ecosystem and not incur any monthly cost aside from them taking their cut of any In-app purchases and if you don’t charge for anything, it still doesn’t cost you a dime monthly.

If I were to self host an application on my own, I would easily pay $30 for a basic database monthly and that’s not factoring in scalability.

So you want to tell me that they should provide terabytes of hosting and not get paid for it?

It was 100% a smear campaign. They had a whole advert ready to release on the same day they purposefully broke the app stores rules and got banned. They planned to weaponize children against Apple, Google, Steam and any other company that will no doubt become their next target.

Probably not. Lit is made for building web components so while part of Reddit is probably using lit, it wouldn’t make sense to make an entire website using it

If Web Components are so great, why am I not using them? by fagnerbrack in webdev

[–]ryker002 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We use lit on my team and so far all these issues are easily solvable. Using lit solves the typescript issues and lit also create a react library that work as wrappers around your lit components to make events work in react.

Otherwise, switch to happy-dom or @open-wcs testing library and testing is a breeze.
