if your cross-device protocol is only secure when you have complete control of all involved devices, you have designed an insecure protocol.

Apple is complaining about spending "thousands of hours" figuring out how to comply with EU law, meainwhile...

@ansuz did they ever mention what exactly the problems created by the DMA are?

[ansuz@social.cryptography.dog]

@oblomov in this statement: https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2025/09/the-digital-markets-acts-impacts-on-eu-users/

It seems like nonsense to me, though.

[oblomov@sociale.network]

@ansuz complete nonsense. The pretense of security in particular is complete bollocks.

@ansuz to me it feels like the quiet part is always:

1. There is a really simple way to comply
2. We have spent thousands of hours trying to find a way that technically complies while allowing us to do what we had already decided to do
