  • They will try. This is about OS-level APIs. In order for a browser to to install and run PWAs, it needs certain OS APIs for e.g. home screen installation, storage and notifications. iOS currently has these APIs but Safari severely limits what you can do with it. Now the DMA will force Apple to accept other browsers, which have no such limitations. So, Apple now wants to remove these APIs altogether and kill PWA support outright, before that portion of the DMA takes effect.

    There probably will be a lawsuit and Apple will probably lose, but it will take years to resolve that. And in the mean time PWAs remain dead and the only way on the iOS home screen in paying the 30% app store cut.







  • I would love an RPG where time actually matters. If some NPC tells you to meet him under that tree tonight, and you’re not there, he should get mad and refuse to help you. And if a mission is urgent, there should be consequences if you go off doing something else, maybe even failing the mission. It would be awesome if there are multiple missions but you only have time for one or two.

    Related, how about no radar and mission markers? So if you get directions, you actually need to follow them. And you need to actually explore instead of simply following a quest marker with half an eye on a minimap. IIRC one of the early Elder Scrolls did this?
