Apple Walks Back Decision to Disable Home Screen Web Apps in the EU (www.macrumors.com)

Following the release of the second beta version of iOS 17.4, it emerged that Apple had restricted the functionality of iOS web apps in the EU. Web apps could no longer launch from the ‌Home Screen‌ in their own top-level window that takes up the entire screen, relegating them to a simple shortcut with an option to open...

I don't mind that other users have this option. I'm not worried about them.
It's all the expected shenanigans of the companies that'll remove their apps from the store I don't much like.

Ungoverned is the way to go.
It should only be used by private companies and then let capitalism regulate itself.
It's a self-regulating system and if the consumers don't like mind controll gas, it'll eventually go away.

Here's a basically fully automated service where you can generate a shitty book for $200.
You can even have it printed as a paperback for more useless waste or have it AI narrated as a shitty audiobook.
