Essentially now app devs/companies can have a pop-up for in-app purchases that directs a user to their own payment processors/portals where they don’t have to pay the “Apple tax” and they’ll be able to inform their users as such and even offer their payment method cheaper and/or you get more

Before this ruling, a previous ruling against Apple forbade them from forbidding third-party payment processing in the apps at all as they had since the App stores inception. So Apple followed the exact letter of the order and still “collected” the “Apple Tax” and set rules on the message the pop-up could have.

Now this ruling nixed their “work around”, and I’d say the judge is rather pissed, hence the “effective immediately”

Yea, to suppress the US left vote to allow Right-wing nuts like Drump and Muskytina to get into power.

Soooo much better!/s

They can’t, or rather most can’t see it (except if they’re on their alt) I was site banned for speech off their instance (just like the Reddit mods of ol’ eh? LMAO)

All my posts are safe spaces from .ml lolol

Best Buy (Similar to your Currys) was doing in store preorders and GameStop was as well

Walmart and Target weren’t afaik and none were doing exclusively in-person pre-orders

I tried BestBuy and Walmart at midnight but they were having issues and was sleeping by the time it was resolved

GameStop I snagged because they didn’t start theirs till 11AM EST and I devtooled the “Not Available” button to be enabled and it worked lmao

I’m just buying one to store for future exploits honestly, launch day console are often the best especially for hardware based exploits

That’s what happened with the Switch 1, pretty big exploit in the NVIDIA tegra chip, but only on early revisions

Slack but for video games

Lol when introducing new employees to Slack who haven’t used it before I always say “It’s Discord, but for work” haha

for anyone too lazy to read the article

Um, well considering the paid app mentioned in the article is CrossOver not wine, ig that includes you too lol (though, CrossOver does contribute back to Wine, still can’t trust them long term because profit…)

Lol corrected, thanks

I’ve always been of the opinion that if you post something publicly, expect it to be used publicly.

I will absolutely declare though that using privately posted stuff or piracy for profit is absolutely abhorrent. I’ve actually never been a fan of those IPTV providers that profited off of pirated streams either or similar schemes for the same reasons

Me* listen, it’s just one of those things you have to try for yourself, when I got my first foldy phone I didn’t get it specifically for reading (I had other more important use cases in mind) but man when I used it for the first time to read a book it was AMAZING to be able to hold it like a book.

Idk maybe I’m weird, but it’s the little things like that lol

*But I want an eink version, but that might be a ways off :(

Tesla? Muskrat? Engaged in fraud‽‽

Well I am just shocked, SHOCKED…well, not that shocked

Well I for one welcome our new AI Dolphin overlords

Muskrat is so thinly skinned, I wouldn’t be surprised if he was monitoring for various domains like this ready to bid up to like a million or some shit LMAO

If you want to see real censorship on Lemmy, look no further than to your own instance admins where rightfully calling out RT as Russian propaganda gets removed or even just expressing that the EU has a genuine security concern to having Russian and Chinese militaries on their doorstep

And much much more on !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works

the difference between the “good” MLs and the “bad” ones is completely unclear.

No it’s not, Tankies are very clearly defined to be “Authoritarians”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie

Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support or defend acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof. More specifically, the term has been applied to those who express support for one-party Marxist–Leninist socialist republics, whether contemporary or historical.

And it’s demonstrated by

Perpetuating Russian talking points like Ukraines invasion just being a “negotiating tactic” https://lemmy.world/post/27012640 and their open declaration of support for Russia (direct from dessalines) https://lemmy.world/post/27352415 and even defending concentration camps as "concentration camps were just reeducation camps and weren’t that bad https://lemmy.world/post/26985447

I’ve got Tankies supporting Trump because he’s doing what they want: https://lemmy.world/post/28033872 and basically stating with Trump it’s an ends justify the means kinda thing: https://lemmy.world/post/27950020 censoring comments that just say you shouldn’t romanticize Stalin and the USSR: https://lemmy.world/post/27673934

It’s not just people with different viewpoints, the admins are actively pushing an authoritarian agenda and censor any dissent against those views. And I have a bunch documented on that comm of the shenanigans they get up to. .ml is more subtle about things than the rest of the Tankie Triad (Hex and Grad) to avoid larger calls of defederation, but they absolutely share the same Authoritarian “ideology”

The actual food and service is probably only maybe a couple hundred to a couple thousand/plate

The rest of the price is the “donation”. The tactic itself is not bad, many charities and fundraisers do the same thing, charge a hundred or 2 (if it’s an event for us pleebs) per person for food and the event and the rest is your donation.

What the donation is for is the problem here

I think this comm is more suited for news articles talking about it, though I did post that link to !ai_@lemmy.world which I think would be a more suited comm for those who want to go more in-depth on it

That bit about how it turns out they aren’t actually just predicting the next word is crazy and kinda blows the whole “It’s just a fancy text auto-complete” argument out of the water IMO
