No problem. Just wanting to clarify how it relates. So, since no one 'buys' a subscription 'through the app' then Apple can't demand a cut? Is that right? I thought there was an issue if an app provided content wh

I wonder what the deal is with the fact that in the UK, everyone who uses the BBC iPlayer on any platform must now own a 'TV License' and pay £145 per year. Until yesterday, you could use the app to watch things on catch-up. Now

I'm in the UK and have used Hetzner for servers for a few years. I've found them to be extremely responsive for support and remarkably good value. (Also, not being locked in to a 6-12 month contract is great.) But I'll check

Have you ever taken institutional funds for any projects you founded? I did. It's ugly. And driven by pure financial greed. Sucking the soul from the original intent. The same financial greed currently eating the world and ruining peo
