- zackees 3y agoA court will decline a stay if it’s likely the case will not prevail.
- echelon 3y agoThey should take it up. As time passes, Apple is owning more and more of the total compute surfaces humans use. Just like Google. We need our devices to be functionally independent of vertical-stack owning, horizontally expanding monopolies. We only have two choices, both increasingly essential to modern life, where each player gets to charge every software and banking decision. It's entirely uncompetitive. I'm imagining a future where they take a cut of every point of sale purchase, where they insert ads in front of travel destinations, and where they control the software and information you can run and access. Both of these companies need to be scaled back to protect not only the consumer, but the entire computing and commerce future of the world.
- meepmorp 3y agoNot really - the SC declined to hear Epic's motion to vacate a 9th circuit stay on the ruling while Apple appeals the ruling in Epic's lawsuit against them. We haven't even gotten to the appeal part, yet.
