@JordiRib1 This is brilliant! It’s a search bar that actually searches for what the user is searching for.

Our team has partnered with Windows to update the Windows Search Box, helping make it faster, more relevant, and easier to use. Changes include a simplified home screen, clearer results, and more user control. You can see an example in the Before/After screenshot below. The search results are only organic – no sponsored results. These improvements become available to Windows Insiders today.

@georgebsocial KWS is part of Epic actually and expanded from games to any sites that need the service. It verifies your age and doesn't retain your identity or payment details. The law is being challenged in court as an invasion of First Amendment rights to speech and privacy.

Interesting. I guess because of Texas Senate Bill 2420 Bluesky now requires age verification via something called Kids Web Services? (4 digits from SSN, ccard, or photo id). Fuck that. I flat out refuse this nonsense and will work to vote out idiots who support this bill.
Here's a list of workarounds (I did it for Brave and it works): gist.github.com/mary-ext/6e27b… (I used the Method 2. Custom adblock filter rules).
What utter nonsense. We do not need this in this country. I would delete my Bluesky account were it not for a fairly painless workaround.

@Bernstein I was raised on Ledo pizza. Best pizza on earth. Square pizza is The Way.

Thanks to Epic veteran Steve Allison for launching the Epic Games Store in 2018 and driving it to 78 million monthly active users today!
Epic Games Store has new leadership lined up and we'll be making an announcement on July 27 ahead of big plans for 2026 and 2027.

@TimSweeneyEpic What brand of chips you eating with the salsa? Or you eating the salsa with something else?
English
I’m sold on this salsa. It’s the closest thing I’ve found to the salsa at Chevy’s Fresh Mexican, which is the best salsa I’ve yet found. (This is not a statement about hot sauce; those discussions tend to escalate to life threatening levels of spice.)

Microsoft is making some BIG changes to Windows Search. It's dropping the annoying ads, decluttering the UI, and prioritizing local results over web ones. Looks like some genuinely great changes 🙏 blogs.windows.com/windows-inside…

Apparently, this was to dodge Apple's policy of blocking products that carried multiple games like XCloud. But then Phil Schiller got on stand and testified that user-made content in the Fortnite Creative and Roblox style were policy-compliant.
English
It was totally non-Apple-like for the company to corrupt their consumer branding to try to dodge competition law and reeks of lack of vision and principle. Reminds me of the bizarre segment of the Epic v Apple trial where Roblox suddenly renamed "games" to "experiences".
English
Apple tried to get away with breaking competition law by claiming the "iPad App Store" was a totally different store than the "iOS App Store", and so on for every device family. Though, they're obviously the same store selling the same apps. BUSTED!
AEI Tech Policy@AEItech
The EU's General Court dismissed Apple's challenge to its gatekeeper designation last week. Apple argued it runs five App Stores, one for each device, and only the iOS one was big enough to qualify. The judges said they all do the same thing and brought them all under the Digital Markets Act. In May, AEI's Bronwyn Howell read the Commission's own review of the law, which found it fit for purpose and proposed no changes. The review relied on stakeholder submissions but included no apparent input from regulated companies or consideration of research finding that the DMA had chilled innovation.

@jackeckensviler @BrianRoemmele Thanks for the link. The complaint's allegations support OP's assertions.

Read the actual lawsuit doc instead of asshole journalists opinions of the doc

What is interesting is they sucked away over 400 Apple employees and asked many to steal data on what they were working on. They paid millions to them and billions to Jony Ive.
Only to cancel just about all hardware distractions.

@snnsnshn @GameDevMicah That's awesome. I almost bought a fire lookout tower once.
English
@GameDevMicah It's more like fantasy shopping. I look at cool stuff I could never afford or find place to put, and imagine having it, later telling everyone how smart of a shopper I am. I constantly look at 3D printers and rack servers, but some people bought parts of jet fighters there 🤣🤦🏻♂️

@headinthebox @qualiascript Engaging smart engineers with a principled language is a purpose, and both Haskell and Lean do this. We can only hope for convergence of all of these threads of programming language theory into a worthy meeting point.
English
Haskell is fucked anyways, all the momentum and attention is with Lean. You had chance, but blew it, and the window is closed now. Just move on folks.

The current Haskell drama centers on a July 10 blog post by avi_press (Scarf founder + Haskell Foundation board member). After 7 years in production, Scarf is moving new work to Python. Key reasons: Haskell's long compile times + build friction have become major bottlenecks for fast LLM/agent-driven development (parallel exploration, quick iteration, cold starts). Existing Haskell code stays; new routes go to Python. Productivity jumped. Avi stresses he's still deeply committed to Haskell and wrote the post to urge the community to prioritize AI-era improvements: faster builds, more agent-friendly tooling, better docs/examples for models, etc. The post triggered sharp backlash. Some see it as betrayal or an attack on the language, with personal attacks flying. josecalderon (former Haskell Foundation director) posted a thread calling the reactions "too much" and "unacceptable," urging people to accept that strong Haskell advocates can still choose different engineering tradeoffs without it being disloyal. It's mostly a heated debate over language priorities as AI changes dev economics, with r/haskell apparently sensitive to AI talk right now. Mixed views: some defend the move for speed, others argue Haskell's long-term strengths outweigh short-term friction.

Apple seems to be the only Mega-corp left that seems to have a soul. I hope Ternus keeps this going.

@markgurman This would be an absolutely awesome and refreshing move by Apple if not gatekept for junk fee extraction and not weaponized against competing stores in EU, Japan, and Brazil where they’re allowed.

BREAKING: Apple is planning to open up Siri to run any AI service via their App Store apps as part of iOS 27, dropping ChatGPT as the exclusive outside partner in Apple Intelligence and Siri. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@burny_tech But a category has a set of objects and a set of morphisms, a curious special case!
English
functions are just special case of a morphisms in the category of Sets... its actually morphisms in general that describe the world!

@Techmeme @SarahPerezTC Heya Apple let’s talk about illegal App Store policies, contempt of court findings, criminal referrals, and paying lobbyists to threaten the end of NATO if the EU enforces its competition law.

Apple says OpenAI leadership "normalized" misconduct and OpenAI's hardware business is "rotten to its core by its illegal reliance" on stolen trade secrets (@sarahpereztc / TechCrunch)
