You say ‘we’ as if everyone is the same. Some people care, some people don’t. It only takes a a few who don’t, or who feel the ends justify the means. Because those people exist, the people who do care are forced into a prisoners dilemma forcing them to develop the technology anyway.

We lack the motivation precisely because of information warfare that is already being used.

The solution is for culture to adapt. This is the role folk tales once played - carrying the knowledge of various different kinds of danger.

> AI shouldn't be a part of warfare, IMHO.

Nor should nuclear weapons, guns, knives, or cudgels.

But we don’t have a way to stop them being used.

Stop focusing on just the article and do some background reading.

Wrong. They did remove PWAs in safari. The old icons just become links with no special PWA features, and new ones can't be created.

Read it more carefully. PWAs are no longer supported, even in safari. Any old PWAs that were already in the launcher just become web links. They happen to open in safari, but they are not PWAs, and no new such links can be created.

This is just a way to not delete the old links from the user's launcher until they have had time to create new bookmarks in the browser of their choice.

If you are going to argue the this somehow advantages Safari, you aren't being serious.

You aren’t making sense. How does it grant safari an advantage if no browser has PWAs?

Not just non-safari browsers.

USB c hardly makes a dramatic difference to consumer choice, not that it’s bad.

Do you expect me to take you seriously after your last few comments? Who in their right mind would have a technical discussion with you?

That’s not what’s happening here. PWA’s are disabled altogether in the EU to avoid exactly this favoritism.

I think you’ve made my point quite nicely.
