I hope that’s a joke. Airpods could be a Fortune 500 company all on their own.
No, I was serious, although after looking into it, I am surprised that hardware makes up 72% of their income. Perhaps they could make up the 28% software revenue shortfall with innovative new hardware and still maintain that 3.06T market cap, eh?
Proton cannot even link to FAQ or customer support pages from its apps, as Apple believes it’s possible that users will then navigate from the support page to a pricing page and upgrade their accounts without paying Apple its fee.
I didn’t realize this either.
Yeah, this also is why Apple has been so sluggish on PWAs (and why they won’t allow third party browsers). There is literally nothing that can be done in an app that can’t be done quicker and easier as a PWA these days. But how is Apple going to make any money if you can publish your own app and take your own payments? They would then become a hardware vendor and that would absolutely ruin them as a company.
Apple will throw everything they’ve got at this to attempt to maintain the status quo.
This exactly. At some threshold of worth, you should get taxed an amount based on your worth that will be big enough to force you to realize some gains in order to pay it.
This is an illustration of why it’s a problem in the first place.
Google “tetragammaton.”
I’m not exactly sure - far from it - but I have this theory that we might be witnessing the death throes of religion (via its secularization) even though it doesn’t quite look like it from the outside. All that repressed sexuality really fucks people up and when they get unmoored from it they go into a sort of psychic apoplexy, which is what we are witnessing. I’m grasping at straws here because goddamn is it weird rn.
Particularly if you’re a good person and you tend to internalize what others say about you. Lots of Internet Famous people are sociopaths who thrive on people trying to tear them down.
Mounted phones […] are exempted
whew
Then why would Krasnov be doing it?
When everybody’s credit scores are shit, nobody’s credit scores are shit. I learned that in 2008 after the housing crash.
This, exactly. And running to Canada. Like fleeing the coming Nazi Germany by emigrating to Poland. Congratulations, you accomplished almost nothing.
Perhaps we can bring out the Dildozer.
Sadly true, but take heart. These people have stupid opinions about non-communicable things too. So many stupid opinions.
I’m not seeing how this explains why Alito and Thomas would vote for it? Seems like they’d love the idea for the FBI to be able to make “honest mistakes.” Perhaps they’re going to leverage this to put Biden’s dessicated husk in jail or something idfk?
Edit: I’m trying to say this makes no sense for these two ghouls to be on this side of the effort, so I’m cynically asking what’s the shadow agenda.
Anybody with an inside track on this story that can explain this? A unanimous decision by this SCOTUS is rare, particularly one that would benefit a minority family terrorized by government goons. I would think Thomas and Alito would be positively salivating at the idea.
Meanwhile, eggs are still $8 no longer available for purchase and gas is still upwards of $4.
My first thought: This is theater.
Yeah I just can’t see any other explanation. It’s too sudden, too all-encompassing - too quickly. It’s artificial.
Ah, you’re a troll. I see. Blocked.
So all you’ve mustered is some lame-ass ad-hominem? Have a good day
This is a fantastic video. I spend less and less time on Reddit now because every time I’m there I eventually get struck with a “this isn’t real people” feeling after reading something. It will always be either mundane repetitive bullshit or yet another post demanding civil war or stoking a feeling of helplessness.
Lemmy and Mastodon are slow AF but they still feel mostly real.
