Saturday Morning Coffee

Good morning from Charlottesville, Virginia! ☕️

Spicy Mexican CoffeeIts been a week. My back is really messing with me. I’ve had this problem for years and years and I absolutely hate when I’ve injured it. The meds I’m on leave me really sleepy so I wouldn’t be surprised if this set of links is short.

Anywho, there’s my week in a nutshell.

I hope you enjoy the links.

Brazilian Court Gives Apple 90 Days to Allow Sideloading on iOS

I hope Apple is starting to build out their infrastructure to allow for more stores but what I think most developers would rather see is Apple dropping their 27% fee for using the platform. Something more like 5% or even 10%.

Never gonna happen.

Microsoft is replacing Remote Desktop with its new Windows app

So now they have a Windows app for running Windows apps?

Talk about confusing. This is weird. 🤣

Kentucky’s bourbon makers are up in arms about Canada yanking their bottles off shelves

Consequences. This is a consequence of tariffs. You definitely cannot blame Canada for pulling American products off of their shelves.

A week ago, ByteDance announced the release of Lynx, a technology for building mobile apps using Web technologies. ByteDance had been using it to power many of their apps, and they decided to package it up and open-source it. Having Lynx enter the space with a new approach is great news for the community.

Yet another framework for building mobile applications.

A lot of companies are looking for ways to have a single set of code to run across mobile platforms.

It’s hard to argue against the idea of it.

The future of America isn’t being written in Washington—it’s being coded, traded, and hoarded by tech billionaires who see democracy as a bug, not a feature.

Billionaire Tech Bros need to be placed on a rocket and launched to Mars. Let them have it. 🚀
