Apple vs. the U.S. Department of Justice: What You Need to Know

Margrethe Vestager on Apple's CTF: “we will definitely look at this in great detail, and if we find that there's reason to suspect that this has been put up in order to prevent the DMA from working for those who are in an Apple ecosystem, well, then we might very well open a non-compliance case.”

Kontra (@counternotions):
DOJ’s antitrust suit against Apple may read infuriatingly ignorant, inaccurate and ahistorical, but, above all, it’s an ideological frontal attack on the notion of integrated product/platform design…a death march to commodification and interchangeability. The rest is much noise.

Ariadne Conill: I somewhat ponder whether the harassment i got to add a maintainer to ifupdown-ng was part of a XZ-type attack from an APT

Simple Nomad:
This xz backdoor thing reminds me of a story I heard from friends that worked at a tech company that made cell phones.

MacApp

Guy Dupont: Bought a cheap little USB touchscreen and learned the only(?) option for drivers on Mac costs $150 PER MACHINE. Made a little USB converter with a $1 microcontroller that remaps the touchscreen output to standard mouse/keyboard events understood by any computer.
