If you live and/or do business in the UK, please take a minute and check this out - and if you agree that Apple's and Google's proposals are too weak (understatement), *please* write to the CMA and tell them.

On Tuesday, the CMA announced that Apple and Google have proposed app certainty and interoperable access commitments. Of particular interest to OWA was the interoperability requirements, as we have argued that the CMA should impose an equivalent to Article 6(7) of the DMA.

> So if Apple denies your request to access AirDrop (or whatever) because allowing you to compete isn’t β€œin line with its commercial strategy and priorities”, that’s OK, according to commitments which the CMA thinks β€œcould address our concerns”?

I also love how the remaster of Colours is a complete redo of the original songs (so not just a remaster).

Adam F's music is pretty much unavailable via streaming services (god knows why). It took me 20 yrs to find the albums Colours and KAOS, but now I have them. On CD. (And also safely backed up and available as lossless flac via my Plex server).

Naked Power - Infrequently Noted Apple and Google's app stores stand for nothing and will stand up to no-one. Good riddance.

The Grok/Musk AI undressing scandal teaches us that Apple and Google's shameful app stores stand for nothing but profit, invalidating one of the 5 arguments they make to retain monopoly power to tax all software. But the other four arguments are bullshit, too:
