There must be a difference between “misdirected” payments vs “they accidentally added a few extra zeros at the end” though. Surely the receiver has no recourse for the latter.

Very misleading to include hybrids in “EV sales”.

At least there’s a good reason behind Tokyo, since it’s meant to be Tōkyō but the diacritic was dropped because it’s hard to type. What’s their excuse for dropping a perfectly typable i?

No, shiitake. It was missing an i.

The point was that you _could_ verify whether a binary package matches the source if you wanted to on other platforms, not that you _have to_ do it all the time. With iOS you don’t have that ability so you’d have to have complete trust in t

Being open source is not as useful on iOS though, since there’s no way to verify that what they uploaded to the App Store was actually built from the source that you can see.

Nope. That was a private comment made by the judge (who is obviously lacking in impartiality, since he made that comment very early on, before the two sides presented their cases). The decision to quash the original cancellation was due to

Nope. Here’s a good thread summarising the original cancellation: https://twitter.com/sangpillai/status/1481906405011783682 Note that: > No agreement, and no decision, was made on whether the ABF officer could

Seems you misunderstood their comment. They took time off but never logged it in the system. HR asked them to log the days they took off, they said sure but I also get to log my overtime and get paid for those then.

That’s how I interpreted “buttons, external links, or calls to action that _direct_ users to purchasing mechanisms” (emphasis line): that the user will be directed to an external payment mechanism outside the app.

The ruling is that Apple cannot forbid linking to other payment methods _in addition to_ IAP, not _instead of_. Apple can still require that IAP must be one of the options.
