We might actually get a little rain this week, perhaps a whole 2mm in the next 24 hours :-)
It'll not make any difference to the garden, which is already pretty dry.
It's the consequences of the heatwave, the poor harvest and awful wildfires that are of serious concern.
There have been as many as eight Gatekeepers at a time... well, on the thyme, so hopefully, they'll be OK.

Gatekeeper Flaw Lets Attackers Swap macOS Apps with Malicious Twins
A newly discovered flaw in macOS Gatekeeper could let attackers secretly swap your downloaded apps with malicious versions, putting your device and data at risk. Researchers have found a way to bypass Gatekeeper's security checks, allowing them to replace apps with tampered versions without needing special privileges.

When You Think You Own The Railroad
Kicking this post off let me say I’m not really sure how I feel about any of this. The subject matter is The European Commission’s Recent Guidance to Google for AI Interoperability on Android & Sharing of Google Search. John Gruber has a very good post on Daring Fireball that’s worth reading if the topic interests you.
You should be interested and you should read Gruber’s post as he lays the arguments out quite well. The bottom line is the European Commission is trying to slow down what has made Google’s railroad run(Search) and what Google wants to use to run them in the future (AI). Here’s a quote:
Today, the European Commission has issued two sets of binding specification measures to Google under the Digital Markets Act.
The aim of the first specification measures is to ensure that competitors’ Artificial Intelligence (AI) services can compete with Google’s own AI services, such as Gemini, by having equal access to features on Google’s Android devices.
The aim of the second specification measures is to rebalance the playing field by giving third-party search engines access to search data that only Google Search can collect at scale.
In a moment when device costs are rising because of AI and companies like Apple are reportedly planning leasing hardware to users to offset higher prices in the same way automobile companies lease cars, it seems like this move from the EC, obviously striking at what most would consider a monopoly, also has the potential to segment computing in a different way than I’ve been writing about.
We’ve already seen that Apple is having similar problems with the EC, choosing so far not to release any of its now in beta new SiriAI and Siri related Apple Intelligence features in Europe until they can resolve similar conflicts with the EC’s aims.
The big difference is Google has built the beginnings of its new railroad and Apple doesn’t want to lay down its European tracks until the EC gives guidance approval. The EC doesn’t work that way, only passing guidance on what exists, not what’s planned.
If it sounds like the railroad expansion era in America during the Gilded Age, you’re not imagining train whistles in the dark.
On the one hand it’s very easy for me to feel this is a good move for consumers who believe users should be able to control what’s on their devices. On the other, it is conceivable that Google and Apple could end up creating separate operating systems and devices for different parts of the world operating under different governing bodies. Some of that already exists with tech companies following different laws from different countries, but nothing on a level like this that seems to strike at the core of how Google and Apple build these devices, operating systems, and companies.
As I said in the beginning, I’m not really sure how I feel about this. The EC’s guidance seems like a potential good thing long term. But in a world that seems increasingly splintered along so many different lines, I’m not quite sure how I feel about the potential of segmenting our computing lives across borders.
I guess I’m old enough to remember when technology began to bring the far flung corners of the globe closer together rather than keep it separated. I’m also old enough to remember the early days of the Internet when some pointed out that our governments were too far behind the curve and ceding too much control to big tech companies too easily. Watching things grow and change at the speed of a bullet train mostly felt harmless back then. Things don’t seem quite so harmless today.
The cry then was to give users more control back in those early days. But it all became too convenient too quickly to stop or slow down, and those big tech trains left the station. As good or bad as the EC’s new guidance may ultimately be for users, it feels more like a potential derailment rather than switching tracks.

Apple przegrywa w Luksemburgu – App Store i iOS pozostają „gatekeeperem”
Sąd Unii Europejskiej oddalił skargę Apple przeciwko unijnej klasyfikacji App Store i iOS jako „gatekeeperów” w rozumieniu Aktu o rynkach cyfrowych. Firma nadal podlega ścisłym obowiązkom DMA, choć część zarzutów dotyczących iMessage sąd uznał za niedopuszczalną.
Sąd Unii Europejskiej w Luksemburgu oddalił dziś skargę Apple przeciwko decyzji Komisji Europejskiej, która w 2023 roku nadała pięciu sklepom App Store — na iPhonie, iPadzie, Macu, Apple TV i Apple Watchu — status jednej, zbiorczej podstawowej usługi platformowej podlegającej Aktowi o rynkach cyfrowych (DMA), jak informuje MacRumors na podstawie Reutersa. Trybunał orzekł wprost:
„Sąd Generalny oddala skargi Apple dotyczące jego wyznaczenia jako gatekeepera w odniesieniu do App Store i iOS”.
Apple złożyło skargę do luksemburskiego sądu w 2024 roku, próbując podważyć zarówno klasyfikację samych sklepów z aplikacjami, jak i status iOS jako tzw. platformy bramkowej — czyli systemu, który musi umożliwiać interoperacyjność z usługami konkurencji. Status „gatekeepera” w rozumieniu DMA niesie za sobą konkretne, dotkliwe dla Apple obowiązki: zakaz faworyzowania własnych usług względem konkurencyjnych, zakaz łączenia danych osobowych między różnymi usługami oraz konieczność umożliwienia użytkownikom korzystania z alternatywnych sklepów z aplikacjami.
Apple próbowało też podważyć klasyfikację iMessage jako tzw. niezależnej od numeru usługi komunikacji interpersonalnej (NIICS), co objęłoby aplikację unijnymi regulacjami telekomunikacyjnymi. W tej części sąd nie rozstrzygnął sprawy merytorycznie — uznał, że skarga Apple dotycząca iMessage jest po prostu niedopuszczalna.
Warto przypomnieć, kto w ogóle podlega tak surowej klasyfikacji. Zgodnie z DMA, aby zostać uznanym za „gatekeepera”, przedsiębiorstwo musi osiągać w Unii Europejskiej sprzedaż na poziomie co najmniej 7,5 mld euro rocznie lub mieć kapitalizację rynkową powyżej 75 mld euro. Do tego dana platforma lub usługa musi mieć ponad 45 mln aktywnych użytkowników miesięcznie oraz ponad 10 000 aktywnych użytkowników biznesowych rocznie na terenie UE. Apple spełnia te kryteria z wyraźnym zapasem w każdej z kategorii.
To kolejna z serii porażek Apple w starciach z Brukselą. Jak pisaliśmy wcześniej na iMagazine, firma sama zaskarżyła DMA i wzywała do jego całkowitej rewizji, argumentując, że regulacje tworzą luki bezpieczeństwa i pogarszają doświadczenie użytkownika. Dzisiejszy wyrok nie jest jeszcze ostatnim słowem w tej sprawie — Apple ma prawo odwołać się do Trybunału Sprawiedliwości Unii Europejskiej, najwyższej instancji sądowniczej UE. Biorąc pod uwagę dotychczasową determinację firmy w tym sporze, taki krok wydaje się bardzo prawdopodobny.

Il #DMA dovrebbe portare a un #bridge #opensource #europeo, ma al momento non esiste perché:
1. #Meta (e gli altri #gatekeeper) preferiscono soluzioni proprietarie.
