One was a jury trial and the other wasn’t. Google had plenty of records of their internal communications but Apple had a different practice. This article by The Verge does a decent job at highlighting the differences.

Russia is reportedly planning to block WhatsApp as well.

Thinking of starting Tchia, given its recent addition to Game Pass.

I switched off after having found that its privacy settings prevent extensions like Dark Mode from reading your dark mode status in the OS. There’s a workaround but I might as well use something else.

That’s overkill. Shaun’s video on Harry Potter is less than two hours long and tells you all you need to know.

The store came to be as an “f you” to Apple, as evident from the email exchanges at the time. The 1984 trailer from Fortnite seemed to be in the same vein. I don’t think that particular trailer was for the purpose of promoting the EGS, as there’s not a single hint to the store in the video or its standard placement.

If it were purely self-serving, they’d agree to settle with Google on special terms similar to those offered to a number of other publishers. Court proceedings last for years, as would be obvious to Sweeney, so sacrificing years of revenue for the distant prospect of having to pay 0 to the platforms is easier explained as being ideological than a business decision.

We know WhatsApp uses the Signal protocol for encryption, but it also collects a lot of metadata. Arguably still better than Telegram that collects everything. Its secret chats may be e2ee but nobody uses them even for discussing sensitive matters, and they don’t work on the Desktop.

I bought Dreamfall Chapters. It’s the only one of its series that doesn’t feel too dated to be playable to me.

I bought Dreamfall Chapters, which is back to its historical low on Steam. I’ve heard good things about it, and Dustborn from the same dev looks super promising.

Depends on whether piracy is less of an ethical issue than supporting a sexist transphobe.

The corporate overlords are inherently right-wing, which is why they fund, build, and embrace those platforms. There’s no revolt in joining them.

That’s what they say, but I’d expect it to be producing some results even in the event of Bing being down if that were the case.

It didn’t return any search results during the Bing outage, as experienced by me personally and reported by others. At least one blog post claims it relies on Bing.

As far as I know, Startpage uses Bing, not Google now. The same is true for Ecosia.

Its Russian founder recently praised Musk in an interview for Tucker Carlson.

Ravenlok. It’s only a year old but it runs perfectly fine on my 2016 PC. I’ve not played Zelda but I feel like it’s similar. Lots of retro game vibes.
