So many #BigTech alternative services are finally getting to the point they are mainstream consumer-ready - which is *essential* if they are going to grow into serious challengers πŸ‘ I'm now hosting all my own videos on @peertube@framapiaf.org. Bye #YouTube! #interoperability p.lu/c/interopera...

Just started working on a Godot implementation for STF, a modular 3d file format.

Abstract classes in GDScript are going to come in handy once released.

Yale’s new Smart Lock with Matter over Thread is a major step forward in smart home tech. It’s fully cross-platform, working with Google Home, Apple Home, Alexa, and SmartThings, and doesn’t require a proprietary hub.

β€œMatter over Thread requires less power and uses a mesh networking protocol to leverage nearby Matter devices for extended range.”

#Threads "reached 100m sign-ups faster than any other app in history, which you can partly attribute to its linkage to #Instagram and streamlined profile creation via your IG info. But even so, it’ll go down as a record either way, while Threads also reached 100m active users in just a few months." #interoperability #DMA #DMCCA #Meta #SelfPreferencing

Seit wann geht das denn? Habe gerade eine RCS Nachricht von meinem Dienst-Handy ans iPhone geschickt! RCS zwischen Android und iPhone?! Ohne kaputte Emoji-Symbole?? Ist mir neu! Wohl mΓΆglich kΓΆnnten auch noch Bilder funktionieren? Es geschehen unglaubliche Dinge! War das ne Auflage vom Digital Services Act oder warum der Sinneswandel bei Apple und Google? #Apple #Android #RCS #interoperability

"TL;DR: On iOS in the EU, selecting a third-party browser from the choice screen replaces Safari in the hotseat (dock), ensuring the user’s choice is respected. This change has already led to meaningful gains in market share; Mozilla, for example, saw its daily active users double in France and Germany on iOS, where the hotseat change is implemented. DuckDuckGo’s findings suggest that replacing Safari in the hotseat boosted the iOS choice screen’s effectiveness by a factor of nine. Yet Google refuses to make an equivalent change on Android, relying on an unreasonably narrow and, in our view, incorrect interpretation of the Digital Markets Act. Even when users choose a different browser, Chrome remains prominently placed, undermining their decision and steering them back toward Google’s own product."

"The thing that makes the industrial strategy a step forward into the 2030s rather than a step back into the 1970s – which justifies the word β€œmodern” in the document’s title – is the emphasis on nurturing ecosystems" #interoperability

Looking forward v much to our discussion this morning at the UK's Competition & Markets Authority on #interoperability: lessons (for the #DMCCA) from #telecoms regulation!

Tim Cowen (Preiskell & Co. antitrust chair) and Prof. @chrismarsden.bsky.social are both world authorities on this topic πŸ‘€ And we have a surprise guest to talk about payments & water regulation lessons!

Here are my background slides docs.google.com/presentation/d

Thank you @EUCommission for committing (at the end of today's #compliance workshop) to further explore the geolocalisation obstacles #Meta is imposing on #DMA #interoperability for #NIICS! And good work @Amandine for raising the problem so clearly πŸ‘

Screenshot of Ian Brown's questions in the online Q&A (Slido):

* Does the Commission accept this restrictive Meta interpretation? GDPR, for example, explicitly applies to data controllers OUTSIDE the EU offering services within the EU, or monitoring the behaviour of EU residents 

* Don't the EDPS, EDPB, and other members of the DMA high-level panel have something to say that the Commission thinks Matrix and others being forced by Meta to geolocate all their users is trivial/unproblematic?! 

* I thought BEREC clearly said (i ts review of the original Meta reference offer) that a separate inbox for third-party chats was not acceptable? 

* Given how the geolocalisation DMA interpretation of Meta is causing such damage to fair and contestable NIICS, will the EC open an investigation and then take action to remove this obstacle?

I don't find #Meta's claims that other companies just don't want #interoperability very convincing πŸ™„

But until @EUCommission designates OTHER gatekeeper #NIICS, it is unsurprising #Meta will push back at every opportunity, since the firm cannot take advantage of any OTHER #gatekeeper offer #DMA
