       @atoponce What makes you write that? (Or are you being sarcastic?)Quoting the article:However, he notes that Apple isn't necessarily going to change its ways."There's a long road between here and there," he said. "Apple has spent enormous amounts to lobby on this, and they aren't stupid. Everyone should expect them to continue to play games along the lines of what they tried in Denmark and South Korea."

       @atoponce Unfortunately, the article explicitly says it's *not* a done-and-dusted deal that Apple will do this. It'll only come into effect in 2024, and after that it's to be expected that they'll be dragging their feet for a while.

       @rauschma "...when the DMA takes effect in 2024, it appears that Apple will be required to allow browser competition on iOS devices."I interpret that as Apple being forced to allow Blink, Gecko, and other HTML rendering engines into iOS.

       @atoponce I applaud this, but at the same time, forcing developers to make their apps work on iOS Safari was the only thing preventing Google to have the monopoly of web engines, so it will be interesting to see the consequences for web standards if Blink ever touches iOS. 🤔
