Apple bills Epic Games $73M in legal costs after 'Fortnite' dispute

There are telegram channels/groups with thousands of people interested in the latest app that will survive the app store review and use it until apple takes action and cycle goes on. There are also a market for signing certificates and apple developer machines spots so more tech savvy audience could sign and install the IPAs directly.

I wonder what is the fate of this ambitious plan? Giving that there are only two commits, the first was in 2016 and then another one (converting from txt to markdown). Also, I found this [1] the funniest way of reaching out (comment on a commit)

Did he actually do that, is there somewhere where this is available? In this case, it would be more appropriate to link to that.

I don’t really know. The idea came up in a conversation last Friday and I felt compelled to make it.

That's probably one of these reasons that cross your mind to justify buying new domains. Which is an addiction to some folks (including me)

Texas is about 6 times bigger than Ohio. Texas is approximately 678,052 sq km, while Ohio is approximately 106,056 sq km.

The population of Texas is around 25.1 million people compared to 11.5 million in Ohio, a difference of 13.6 million people. That means about 2 times population wise.

I don't know by which size metric it is that ohio is 41 times smaller than texas?

Btw nobody clicks on sources. NOBODY.

I always click on sources to verify what an LLM in this case says. I also hear the claim that a lot about people not reading sources (before LLM it was video content with references) but I always visited the sources. Is there a statistics or studies that actually support this claim? Or is it just a personal experience, of people (including me) enforcing it as generic behavior of all people?

payback for Beijing’s efforts to blame Washington for the pandemic

Maybe it is wrong but I did not read much about China blaming US for pandemic outside couple of articles claiming that on US media (including this one) while a lot American media, politicians and ordinary people used to blame China for pandemic since the beginning. I think this is just trying to justify this campaign as a reaction mechanism by the author while he admitted that it had put lives in risk and probably was indirectly cause of death for some. And the rest of article is good.

That was 7 months ago. They canceled a free plan for a product. Yes I agree that their communication were bad and didn't give enough warning for people. But how that related and how is that an answer to my question?

Google used to give universities unlimited storage but even with their billions they pulled the plug and left universities in a difficult situation (so did MS later).

To put some perspective I will quote the following

"The website of the Columbia Law Review was taken down by its board of directors on Monday after student editors refused a request from the board to halt the publication of an academic article written by Palestinian human rights lawyer Rabea Eghbariah titled “Toward Nakba as a Legal Concept.” The article argues for the Nakba to be developed as a unique legal framework, related to but distinct from other processes defined under modern international law, including apartheid and genocide. This is not the first time that Eghbariah’s legal scholarship has been censored by an Ivy League institution. The Harvard Law Review last year refused to publish a similar, shorter article it had solicited from Eghbariah even after it was initially accepted, fully edited and fact-checked" [1]

You shouldn’t be moving windows around with a mouse like a savage when using this setup!

I feel personally attacked. I have a memory of a fish and would hope if I really could remember the thousand shortcut I need to move to rely solely on keyboard.

I think pi-hole (Adguard home) is useful dns level ad blocker which can be used on network/router level. But it is limited, UBO provides you more flexibility to block cosmetics and certain ads that cannot be done via dns. There will be overlap of course but it is worth it. I agree that adguard here seems redundant and UBO itself recommend against using another ad blocker to avoid interference and websites adblock discovery.

However you might end up using

1. pi-hole on router

2. Adguard as device level DNS

3. UBO on Firefox (android only)

It is possible but not recommended and wasteful. 1/2 and 3 is enough.

The fact that you’re looking at this in terms of wealth and not even in terms of cultural heritage is revealing

I am not comparing both cases. I am just giving an example to show how your logic and argument is ridiculous.

Ironically the world common heritage that you are describing is core idea for communism. I know that you oppose them but for your racist views, there is no problem into having similar ideas.

And you calling it ethonationlism doesn't change that facts. By the way I can extend this and call each inheritance, culture and everything a group of people did/doing as such. I hope you would support eliminating passports and abolish borders to be consistent (as just another example)
