However, as it stands, UTM is not proceeding to contest the ruling. As apps distributed on iOS cannot use a JIT compiler (other than specially entitled alternative browser engines), the functionality and performance of the emulators running through UTM SE, the version submitted for review that had JIT disabled, was significantly impaired. UTM says getting UTM SE approved “isn’t worth fighting for”.

Oh. Well okay then.

I don't think EU will like the part about third-party stores.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Is it a third-party app store if Apple decides what it's allowed to offer?

[–] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

The EU will absolutely take issue with this. What they’ve done is beyond the scope of the law … again.

[–] land@lemmy.ml 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Apple and it’s policies can feck off

[–] Nogami@lemmy.world -1 points 5 months ago (2 children)

So precious. I bet you don’t even use Apple products.

[–] Railcar8095@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

I have a Mac at work, and apple trying to control what people does with their devices is stupid and they should be shamed for it.

Checkmate!

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

of course not, why would i pay a premium for it.

[–] Nogami@lemmy.world -1 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Then you have no business here. Begone. I’ll just block you in the meantime.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

ok thats just peachy

[–] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

if you wanna block anyone who criticises apple for their business practices you'll be blocking a lotta people

[–] Snooks@lemmy.world -1 points 5 months ago (4 children)

Ya, but the community is literally called apple enthusiast. You don’t sound like an enthusiast if you hate the brand and don’t use it.

[–] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 1 points 5 months ago

It is possible I think to enjoy a company's products without defending everything the company does, especially not the things that benefit the company at the expense of the owners of said products

So only Apple enthusiasts are allowed in here? Everyone else is forbidden from entering?

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

How appropriate that you're bitching about people coming into your walled garden to criticize Apple.

[–] Railcar8095@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

I got this on the front page, I don't need to be an apple apologist to see the news. If you don't want non fanboys, tell your admin to disallow it there

[–] Holyginz@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Nobody cares who you block. Go ahead and block me. I used to have plenty of apple stuff in the past and have none now because they charge a premium for something that they barely change with each "new" iphone that comes out.

What a child lol

[–] countablenewt@allthingstech.social 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

@neme I like how the devs were like “eh, it’s not even that good of an app, whatever”

[–] narc0tic_bird@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yeah well because Apple doesn't allow JIT compilation, so the performance would've sucked anyway.

[–] AProfessional@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I’d guess Windows for Arm would perform fine though.

[–] B0rax@feddit.de 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Not really… I have tried it before on an m1 iPad. It is not usable for any windows version. XP for example takes over 15 minutes just to boot. It takes multiple seconds for clicks to register, etc.

Linux, like Debian for example, will be much more usable, but still far from anything you would call a smooth experience.

Again, not having JIT really kills the performance here.

[–] AProfessional@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Why is a jit needed for native arm software?

[–] B0rax@feddit.de 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Because ARM is not the same as ARM. Windows arm does not natively run on an Apple M1 Processor and MacOS does not run on a raspberry pi.

[–] ahti@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

because its not about jit per se, its about marking pages of memory as executable. doesn't matter whether you compile it or load it from disk, you need to mark the memory as executable so the cpu will run it, and that isnt something "normal" ios apps are allowed to do.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Just another tactic to keep people in their Apple cage ☹️

ANDROID!!!

Says a lot about the sorry state of Android doesn’t it?

[–] Nogami@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Give up all your data to google. You are the product.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Who said I ever signed into Google?

This phone has never been signed into any accounts on the Android OS level, I've never activated location services, and I don't even have a SIM card.

I run WiFi only, with alternate app stores and the ability to transfer apps from one phone to another by copying APK installer files.

Not every Android user is totally stuck to Google.

[–] fuckwit_mcbumcrumble@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Whats the point in having a phone if you don't do any phone things with it?

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

There are alternate apps and services that don't depend on Google. I'm responding from one such service right now.

I've also been using the same TextNow number since 2016. You know, VOIP WiFi phone service? I even debugged the TextNow app back in 2016, they're actually damn glad to have me as a regular free user.

There are ways to both maintain privacy, and also use your device at the same time.

Believes he isn’t a product. Cute. But you’re full of it and a troll.
