So no new MacBook Pro at WWDC I guess…
“The [US] government has […] concerns about […] technology […] that takes […] data into the territory of an authoritarian state that permits its intelligence services to have unfettered access to that data […]”
Funny thing to hear from the US government.
Great that micro.blog and @manton get some well-deserved attention from the New Yorker article.
Welcome to all the new people here.
Also, I feel a little famous now 😄
Is Netflix integrated into the new Apple TV app? I just got a recommendation for Star Trek: Discovery which opened the Netflix app.
All in all I feel that the latest GoT episode was one of the better ones this season. Sure, most character development was a little rushed, but I think we will see something similar in the books (that is, if we ever see the books). 🍿📺

TechCrunch, citing Julia Rede’s speech in the European Parliament
“The most tragic thing about this process is a new generation who are voting in the European elections for the first time this year are learning a lesson: Your protests aren’t worth anything, politics will spread lies about you, and won’t care for factual arguments if geopolitical interests are at stake,”
The EU had the chance to create a modern copyright legislation for the web. Instead, they chose to ignore the concerns of (mostly young) voters and pushed through with the lobbyists agenda.
What a great way to teach young people about democratic values.
I am absolutly unenthusiastic for todays Apple event. There won’t be new hardware and the last thing I need are even more subscriptions.
I’m not super happy with my final Playground but it’s worth a try. Best of luck to everyone else who applied.
Not it’s 3 weeks of waiting for the results. In the meantime, I hope to publish a blog post or two about my work.
Today the German Wikipedia is unavailable to protest against the EU copyright reform.
