the scope on that (the line 511 classification) looks like it's the same as Apple Corps would have used, it's not even being registered in the scope of computing. which is even odder. So they're trying to register the mark p

Has anyone been able to find any original sources on this? I'm curious to see the scope of the actual trademark. All the reporting looks like a game of "chinese whispers".

I used "Power Delete Suite" to delete all my comments. Everything over 3 months old, came back a little over 24 hours later. Edit: Now less sure of this statement. I just had more "come back", all in the same subreddit

Honestly, I don't think a centralised app is really a good solution in this space. It's going to be big, it's going to be expensive, and as soon as someone tries to pay for it, they're going to end up repeating all the

I think that's low-balling it a lot. If you start out at $5/month. $2.50 goes to reddit. $1.50 goes to apple. That leaves a buck a user, 960k earnt. The first tax calculator I found for novia scotia estimates $489,203 tax owed

This is pretty much by biggest hope for the current uproar. Voat was almost destined to become a nasty place because of the audience that reddit was disenfranchising at the time. If losing /r/fatpeoplehate was enough to make you

There's rumours Apple made a 10-year commitment to lightning, which wouldn't be at all unusual - especially giving all the moaning when they switched from 30-pin to lightning. I find it hard to believe that cables are a core part

I always find the "unlimited budget" angle interesting. The entire Apollo program had a budget of $165.5 billion (in 2021 dollars), over a 10 year program. $16.5 billion per year. It's a big number, but it's absolutely

What's the alternative? Do you really envisage a blockade on books crossing state lines? What's next, Smokey and the Librarian? To put it less confrontationally - the books are banned from schools and public libraries. They&#x2

The behaviour is very different to hardlinks. The clone is a new file that uses the same blocks. When you modify the clone, writes are written to new blocks rather than the old ones. So if I have a disk image that takes 1,000 blocks, and

It's my understanding that we use UTC because it favours neither the english nor the french. English wanted CUT, french wanted TUC, so UTC was chosen to favour neither.

Of course. But when people are comparing EU & US prices they're usually not accounting for that either - just the price on the site. And it's too easy to miss out that a) european prices are advertised inclusive of sales tax

That's almost entirely Sweden having a high tax rate though. I just priced out an M2 MBA with ram & ssd maxed out. $2499 USD in the US and 33009kr in Sweden. $2499 is 26163kr, +25% VAT is 32705kr. So you're paying 304kr &#x

They did it for a good handful of TLD, including .app, .day, .dev, .page, and .new. I get the impression they're pushing for it to be absolutely everywhere, and "greenfield sites" are an easier place to start than to break t

The narrative seems quite clear to me. They released the tooling and the services to become the defacto solution, and then Swarm was supposed to be the cashcow that turned that into cashflow. And then k8s happened. They've raised a t
