They won't let you buy, download or send epubs to your device anymore.
oj2828··on I am directing the Department of War to designate Anthropic a supply-chain risk
Once the democrats are in the oval office again can they label palantir a supply chain risk? Is there anything stopping the administations red or blue from shutting down any company that doens't agree 100% with them politically
oj2828··on Dating, education, and sex ratios

oj2828··on The creator economy: the top 1% and everyone else
“ The creator economy, once hailed as the solution to economic inequality and the savior of the middle class, is facing challenges that threaten its very existence.”

Russia had to raise interest rates to 20% to achieve the recent appreciation. Russia is giving up economic growth for the foreseeable future to prop up its currency. I doubt many countries are eyeing a similar move
oj2828··on My students cheated a lot (and how I used R to prove it)
You sound like someone who would’ve cheated on a low stakes quiz
oj2828··on Terms of Service: Monitoring and Anti-Cheat
I'd recomend you not download the game then
