Not usually a “+1” or “Me too!” kinda guy but homebrew is incredible and makes dev on Mac quite seamless. Huge thanks to the team.

Never has a man of straw been so completely eviscerated. An absolute massacre. Bravo.

Not to take things too off track but I worked at Egghead Software around that time and the looping recording we had on a TV for that game haunts me to this day.

You call it UML? Really?

Yes, this appears to be entirely about raising the price of iPhones without raising the cost of iPhones. Most people don’t buy it out right so they need a way to ease the prices raised by keeping the monthly payments around the same. The difference is you have to return the phone at the end instead of owning it.

I searched for each of the supported eInk devices and they were all tiny. Anyone know if there is a larger reader (maybe Paperwhite size-ish) that might run this?

> All decisions are made by committee. There are no shareholders apart from the state. Success benefits all within the state.

I cannot believe there are people on this planet that still believe this. Astounding.

You bet I am angry. I am tired of people defending a law by saying “that’s not what it was meant to do!” As if the intent matters one bit. What matters is the result of the law. And the result of this regulation is to make the web universally crappier than it was before. It did basically nothing to improve things in the real world.

Don’t change the topic.

The general council (lawyers) at companies are making the decisions around cookies banners and the like, not the folks trying to make money. Regardless of how you might interpret the law and requirements around GDPR, the legal profession as a whole seems to think the crap we live with today is necessary. If it isn’t, it’s on the EU technocrats to clarify in communications, written rules, and on their own damn website what it is supposed to look like.

So the EU commission put out a rule that you say has been widely misunderstood and implemented via malicious compliance. Where is the EU statement and education on this? Why aren’t they louder in explaining this isn’t what they wanted? And they allow their own websites to do the very thing that they supposedly don’t want?

Do you maybe want to reconsider? Perhaps instead companies are putting in a good faith effort to comply. I have been invoked in discussions around legal compliance of all sorts of regulation and trust me: no one has ever ever expressed “let’s do some terrible thing because we disagree with regulation”. It’s conspiratorial thinking.

If it’s malicious compliance and not required why does the EU Commission website have it?

How doesn’t include machine guns?

And this is why having null in the type system is better.

Thanks for sharing your story. Praying for you and your family in this time.

“Consented outbound use cases”

This is top-of-the-line corporate jargon.

Why does the EU Commission site have cookie banners then?

Malicious compliance?

That explains it. I don’t see it from my US IP address.

I just did. Tell me where it states what you are claiming. Neither my reading (IANAL) nor ChatGPT’s reading could find such a blanket ban:

In the US, the problem with this as a solution if you had some contract or agreement with the company, simply not paying doesn’t mean you have cancelled that contract. They could continue to bill you, report non-payment to credit bureaus and try to come after you via collections.

Many/most won’t do all that but it is something to keep in mind.

You might want to check out “How it Works” on the site as none of what you said applies: https://typed.by/how

That indemnity clause is only for Team, Enterprise and API users. Do you know what was used here?

Also the commercial version is limited to “…Customer and its personnel, successors, and assigns…”. I am very much not a lawyer and couldn’t find definitions of these in the agreement but I am not sure how transferable this indemnity would be to an open source project.

This post reminds me of a 14-year old boy reading the MS-DOS manual to figure out what AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS at his younger brother’s football games.

Yep, check deposit was the last reason I might regularly visit a bank (although even before the iPhone, I would use the ATM for that)

If you are truly incapable of even imagining the objections (that you might disagree with!) you should probably get out of your bubble and expand the content you consume.

This is great! I have been meaning to implement this sort of thing in my existing Shortcuts flow but I see you already support it in Shortcuts! Thank you for this!

Anywhere I can toss a Tip for this free app?

There’s also plenty of room for it which is why it continues to appear on all MacBooks.

It’s as if there are a bunch of different people out there.

“Google denied wrongdoing but settled to avoid the risk, cost and uncertainty of litigation, court papers show.”

I keep seeing folks float this as some admission of wrongdoing but it is not.
