The basis for this belief is that Epic also sued Google Play for creating the existing conditions that you describe. Epic doesn't want to turn iOS into Android (which is bad enough on its own), they want to open the floodgates on Andro

You've written as if you disagree with me, but I don't think you do. It is very important when discussing political issues to make a distinction between state and local control over issues. I live in a community that is desperatel

I think the bigger risk is that California fails to fix the most pressing issues (mainly housing). Lots of people are leaving the state and lots of people can't afford to live where they work, which causes all sorts of problems, like f

Maybe it enhanced velocity, but I can tell you that for sure it did not improve quality for Office, Windows, or Visual Studio (not Code). I work with all of those products, and have worked with them before and after the big layoff. The qual

I was surprised by this, too. I've spent the last 20 minutes researching; it seems every time I look away for more than a few minutes, Microsoft changes things up (then leaves nasty comments like didn't you read the FAQ or 'i

Is this legitimate? The website suggests that you aren't serious or focused. I see a page of affiliate links, a library of books you're selling on Amazon (only 3 of which appear to be available), and an energy drink with a very un

Things I've been sent by TikTok in the last few days: * Cockpit walkthroughs by professional airline pilots * A first-person plane crash and water evacuation that I had somehow missed from 2014 (and was very interested to see) * Music

Works with bagels, too. Lots of ‘bakeries’ (think Panera) in the US have Tuesday deals, the one I have access to is 13 for $6.99 which brings the price per half to less than the cost of a slice of the cheapest store brand bread and with muc

I'm sure its covered in your linked articles, but it is worth pointing out that for many Americans, water is delivered by a pumped well that is dependent on electricity. So if you shut off electric service, you may also be cutting off

Google is also being sued for not going far enough in allowing Epic to do what they want to do. I think that is the proof positive that Epic doesn't just want additional app stores and sideloading, but that they want concessions that w

Note that Apple wouldn't be just be forced to loosen some restrictions to match Google Play and Android, they'd have to go far further. Google Play is also being sued. Its not as dramatic or fun to cover it that way, but I feel li

I’m getting ready to move to a new apartment this fall and I’ve also recently gotten back into Lego so this is a welcome surprise! Storage has always been a pain point given the amount of LEGO you need to have to be able to freely model thi

Yes, users on TikTok are loyal, at the very least creators are. I haven't heard of any creators, at least none that I follow, moving to Instagram's competing offering. I think there may also be a sense of broad injustice that make

Very interesting. This feels like a fusion of my favorite tools: OneNote and Todoist. The command line is a great feature - Todoist executes on it well, also the Outlook app but on macOS only for some reason. This appears to solve a major g

So much ignorance here. 1) China is very developed and developing fast. US companies are also extensions of the state, especially when things like National Security Letters come into play. There’s no transparency or oversight (or constituti

Thanks for that video. Still, I don’t know if wild threats out of the blue after a 2 year CFIUS investigation counts as due process. Just because power is delegated to the executive doesn’t mean the executive can wield that power with impun

I wish people would take some time to actually learn about China as it exists today and not how the West imagined it in 2003. The discourse here and in other places (like Reddit) has been of absolute garbage quality. Even in this thread the

Coca Cola is very aware of the health issues and has been diversifying for a long time. Around 2015 IIRC they got into the diary game with Fairlife milk, they own core power. They do lots of business in tea (gold peak and others) as well as

You’re getting downvoted because those kids with iPhones talk to kids with google phones and would know that Fortnight isn’t available there either, because Epic is also starting shit with Google simultaneously. Edit: also it’s in bad taste

Yeah or Epic could not be pricks and just put the game on the stores like every other app developer. That’s the mysterious third option you’re missing and that we lived with for literally years up until this point. Apple has the capacity to

Yes. In particular, I don't ever want to be in the position that PC users are stuck in, where they can be forced to install certain stores just to get access to the games they want to play. And I certainly don't want to be stuck i
