There are many things that would be in Apple's interest to do, but they aren't so that's a complete non-argument.
I think it's a very valid question to ask, as many open source projects I've seen in the past that had to interface with Apple on the developer tooling front had to go through constant pain, as Apple isn't willing to e.g. provide references for certain .plist files, forcing many project to try and reverse-engineer what they do. More precisely there are usually people inside Apple willing to do that, but incapable to do that due to internal structures that result in a lack of clearly defined ownership.
So given that, I would say that if/once the original contributor of this PR moves on(/is made to move on) from that project, there is a good chance that this would also mark the end of cooperation from Apple's side.
That covers the most basic feature that Sentry has (one-off error reporting, with rudimentary statistics). Sure, if that's enough for you then go ahead, but for most people using Sentry that's only the tip of the iceberg.
I think those are all perfectly valid points. As a Kagi early adopter they don't weigh as heavily that they ultimately make a difference, but it also feels like most things that are not AI related are not receiving that much attention nowadays, which is a bit disheartening to see.
Last time I checked (which admitedly has been a few months, but I haven't seen anything in the changelog/announcements that make me belive things got better), that's not a viable option.
I always keep it as "International" (luckily that's an option!), as setting it to "German" significantly degrades the results as for e.g. technical topics it will rank many rubish German results higher than they should be. Google still has a significant edge in getting the distinction right between regional and technical expertise and how they relate to language.
He boosted a post that is 1:1 an announcement of the project.
How much more of a "clear confirmation" do you want? An announcement from their non-existent personal press secretaries that just says the exact same text as that post he boosted?
I think people here need to take a step back and realize that the people and board involved here are more like linux kernel maintainers that are not generally public figures and not C-level executives of a Fortune 500 company.
Yes, since it's cybersecurity a bit more caution than usual is probably warranted, but it's not like the CVE DB has gone offline and everyone is currently scrambling to find the new legitimate replacement. Let's let this situation breathe for a few hours/days instead of being overly cautious and spending all energy on skepticism.
I've pointed out that I think a more clear (in this case an explicit message) would be better. You extrapolated to the other end, assuming that I wanted a press release, which I do feel is a false dichotomy. There are more than one existing option here, and a middle ground would certainly be perfect in this context.
I would still call it one of the epicenters. Yes, many venues that were previously only multlipliers like some prolific streamers / Youtubers / TikTok channels have grown and cultivated their own distinct subcommunities which form new epicenters.
However, from what I can see /pol/ still serves as significant breeding ground where people deeply committed to their views can get together in a "mask-off" manner without fear of moderation, while they have to be more "mask-on" on platforms that are more dissemination-focused like Youtube.
With the current AI/LLM wave SSE have received a lot of attention again, and most LLM chat frontends use them. At least from my perception as a result of this, support for SSEs in major HTTP server frameworks has improved a lot in the last few years.
It is a bit of a shame though, that in order to do most useful things with SSEs you have to resort to doing non-spec-compliant things (e.g. send initial payload with POST).
Arguably it’s also because of serverless architecture where SSE can be used more easily than WS or streaming. If you want any of that on Lambda and API Gateway, for example, and didn’t anticipate it right off the bat, you’re in for quite a bit of pain.
