This is Firefox on a Mac with adblockers up the wazoo. I use Google there because I’m not signing into my personal Kagi account on work equipment and I haven’t yet been able to pill my boss on Kagi.

I get the same thing. It’s not the browser-setting which I also have set to always deny, but a modal dialog in the middle of the results page that I have to manually click deny (I think it’s actually “not now” but I stopped paying attention

I think you and I can agree that the Establishment Clause is often read over-broadly, but the First Amendment is a list of prohibitions on Congress. Quoting the relevant part here: > Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment

There is a jurisprudential concept called incorporation that SCOTUS largely adheres to borne from the 14th amendment, but for various reasons that’s actually a can of worms I don’t want to debate so instead I encourage you to learn more abo

Yeah, there is: Gizmodo is still around and writing. That’s how you get a “story” like this.

I know there are crap reviewers that are basically shills, and I also know that if you’re going to accuse a specific person or organization of shilling, you had best bring receipts. You’ll also note the guy I was originally responding to di

You can debate the quality of his professional output with someone else, but professional in this case means he does product reviews for a living, including the car reviews.

Not by the people making the products they’re reviewing. Marques Brownlee runs an extremely popular YouTube channel; his money comes from YouTube ads and subscriptions and his reputation is everything just like any other product reviewer.

Marques Brownlee is a professional. Good product reviewers don’t accept money for good reviews.

It is possible my information about The Japan Times is basically historic and out of date at this point since organizations do change. This is the premise upon which the paper was originally founded and continued to operate on for most of i

Speaking as an American I want this for the EU as well. I liked the prior world order, but I think the dream of keeping it alive died when our current dumbass-in-chief pulled out of Afghanistan in the stupidest way possible. The previous

That's Epic's PR spin, but I ain't buying. This was a chance to reduce the fees they pay to Apple, not subject themselves to the customer relationship rules set by Apple and expand into another line of business. The legal, po

Kind of. The Japan Times is interesting. It's an English-language publication, but it is written for Japanese people by Japanese people. Despite their target audience being Japanese people, the fact that it is an English-language publi

Not knocking him, just clarifying. It is terribly written (The Japan Times is an English-language Japanese publication, you can safely knock them for it), but the (untranslated) chart tells the tale: Kunrei-shiki on the left and Hepburn-shi

You've got it backwards. Shinjuku is sticking around as the official spelling, or rather becoming the official spelling by adopting Hepburn romanization. The pronunciation wouldn't be any different in either case.

This isn’t Segregation. Epic isn’t Rosa Parks. Apple isn’t a legislature. Epic’s actions until now have been for a B2B contract renegotiation, not a human rights movement. People who did fight for civil rights were also punished with the fo

Sure, maybe this was the better strategy given either strategy was going to be a long shot, but they high rolled for what was ultimately a contract renegotiation and lost worse than if they had played their cards differently. Higher risk ca

In the right and within their rights are two separate things. I’m not exactly happy with all of Apple’s App Store policies either, but they have their rights. I also don’t believe Epic is doing this for anything other than Epic’s self-inter

First, thank you for posting this because this was my first clue that I mixed up EA’s thing with Epic’s thing. My bad. Second, wanting to compete and competing aren’t the same activity. They are not presently a competitor to the iPhone’s Ap

In the context of standards essential patents, yes. In the case of DMA compliance, it’s a bit more TBD until the EC issues more guidance and actual legal precedent is set, but what we do know is that the DMA still allows Apple to set terms

Apple doesn’t compete with the Epic Games Store on Windows anymore than the Epic Games Store competes with the App Store on iPhones. EDIT: just realized I originally mixed up Origin and the Epic Games Store. My bad.

They had the alternative of pulling their software on principle and suing, but they wanted the fight they would have by having Apple suspend and then terminate their developer accounts to bring more public opinion to their side, and they su

Do EU courts consider sworn foreign testimony entirely inadmissible as evidence? It is a fact that Epic swore before a court of law, a foreign court but still a recognized court of law, that they did all this on purpose. EU law might still

Epic also intentionally broke agreements with Apple before. Non-discriminatory doesn’t mean they have no grounds to terminate Epic’s developer accounts, and Epic is continuing to make themselves look untrustworthy by trying to publicly and
