Maybe it’s just API traffic then, I only use Boost and there are certainly times when it slows down a bit. Usually around the busier times of day and it usually doesn’t last long (I assume it’s probably scaling ramp up time) so that’s why I am unable to break the cycle LMAO
Outages are much rarer though
Lol Sony trying to LARP as Nintendo
It’s…in the first paragraph
Today, Judge James Donato issued his final ruling in Epic v. Google, ordering Google to effectively open up the Google Play app store to competition for three whole years. Google will have to distribute rival third-party app stores within Google Play, and it must give rival third-party app stores access to the full catalog of Google Play apps, unless developers opt out individually.
True, but legal precedents can be nuanced
For example, that whole litmus test with the three questions to determine if something is art or pornographic or obscene was borne out of a legal precedent.
So something similar could come out of this, where it’s only applicable if the company in question is X market cap and controlling Y percentage of the market segment or whatever. It doesn’t have to nor should be an all or nothing kinda thing
Can confirm, I just pulled up Epic Games Store from within the MS Store lol
And on top of that, this isn’t some startup who has to depend on every dollar, even if you’re right @[email protected] this is fucking Google with a 2 TRILLION DOLLAR market cap they can lose some revenue to make room for some competition even if it’s a tad unfair.
That’s just the perception with the average person, not that they would actually do it
Yes but only through sideloading, this order requires Google to allow third-party app stores to be distributed from within Play Store, i.e. you can search for “F-Droid” from directly within Play Store and install it.
Which also comes with a bit of a positive reputation to truly allow a competitor to rise. Before, non-technical people (read:the average person) saw sideloading as dangerous because of “viruses”, which led to low uptake of Epics own store (Which they did try to distribute through sideloading)
Now if an average person sees F-Droid or other app store in the play store they’re automatically going to think “It’s in the Play Store and vetted by Google so it MUST be safe to check out”
Yea that’s exactly it, no more side loading needed.
Apple got away with it because they were VERY careful to go up to the line without crossing it as well as careful wording of things, unfortunately.
Doesn’t seem to show for business accounts FYI
No one said it wouldn’t be painful lol
means people like trump and Musk are with us forever.
But that would also mean their polar opposites would also be with us forever, the objectively best of us
Yup, we should be demanding things like UBI, good gov provided housing and healthcare funded by proper taxing of the rich.
Not futily fighting against progress, if the job can be automated well and efficiently then the job shouldn’t exist anymore.
So in your world, journalists and activists trying to bring attention to human rights violations their country’s fascist government is committing in an attempt to bring in good change should be just fucked over right?
Because those governments label those people as “criminals” when they’re objectively not.
Being an ambivert is nice lol
Hm, I don’t think this has enough JPEG to fully qualify as a shitpost though
105 gigs is nothing, you can get a 1TB external drive for ~60$
I’m getting to the point of becoming a data hoarder
What’s wrong with that‽ Join us on the dark side (according to giant corporations anyways), we have milk and cookies!
Just a simple lowly troll, nothing of importance to see here
For some reason the author is trying to equate it to an “AI-Mediated breakup” which…doesn’t make sense, a summary of something is not “mediating”
Mediating would be like having the AI write and deliver a breakup text, simply summarizing it isn’t
