- echelon 2y agoDo Apple next! App Store, inability to use runtimes, inability to web distribute, requirements to use Apple Payment rails, Apple user registration rails, Apple UI elements, and jump through arbitrary platform changes is equally draconian. Apple and Google are both monopolies. WASM, OS API sandboxes, and web distribution should be the basis for the entire mobile platform. First party should have no unilateral control over a world built on standards.

- wmf 2y agoI've discovered that judges tend to speak pretty formally in TV and movies while in reality they often use plain english. As a layman I also find many legal decisions more readable than I expected.
