I bet Tim Apple is really happy about his large donation to the Trump inauguration.
Then again, if you’re that rich, maybe having some intelligence and foresight should be an expectation. If you don’t have those things, maybe you shouldn’t be rich.
That said, for a 25% tariff, it isn’t even close. Still far cheaper for Apple to manufacture outside of the US and pass that additional cost to the US consumer.
Is it just me, or does that sound like a monopoly?
Do any creatives attempt to create assets for another platform?
I’m really not blaming creatives on this one. Obviously they need to make money. But this seems like a clear case of advantage being taken against one skillset by virtue of monopoly.
I’d say it seems like the key issue affecting creatives, if AI didn’t exist.
As an outsider: how did we get to a point where every creator is limited to one box?
Is it the case that most creatives cancel their subs when they get that job? Does the job have a site license (assuming Adobe even allows site licenses)?
It won’t stop until creatives stop paying.
There are alternative tools available, but the number of people I have seen not want to learn a new UI is high. Adobe knows this, so they continue to raise prices.
Tbh, I’m super into this. Especially if the range could be extended slightly or if the truck is somewhat hackable.
But then… Bezos. Ugh.
Sure. But the costs for implementing such a thing are certainly above simply using the tools on the platform on which the dev has decided to release their work. If they disagree, don’t release it there.
This idea that the consumer should do something additional besides giving you money is a nonstarter.
But remember: the design and initial implementation of the internet was paid for by the populace. It is supposed to be filled with cool and useful, free stuff.
Corporate interests and “web 2.0” have turned it into a weird hellscape of misinformation and targeted advertising. It was not designed for it.
It’s the walled garden thing that gets me. At some point, people got complacent. I’m 100% confident that there is an entire swath of the population which has never considered that Discord is a corporate entity with corporate interests. We made open standards for a reason.
On whatever platform(s) you sell your games. The key is not expecting someone to sign up for a different service for your updates.
Hopefully they just post updates on the platforms they sell their games on. I shouldn’t need to sign up for anything else.
Once Discord enshittifies, lazy devs won’t be able to say “follow our Discord for updates!” anymore.
Yes, exactly this ^
While I can appreciate the ADS-B bit, it seems clear that the change to public registration would still negatively affect tracking.
The FAA is changing the rule which makes this information public. The FAA is fully controlled by the rich.
Wasn’t blockchain the griffty buzzword years ago? We have all new grifts now
Won’t matter.
Laws only apply to those with less than a billion dollars.

Yes. Avenues exist. But money is corrupting.
I tried giving you an opportunity, but I’m going to block you now.
I really don’t even know what this means.
I wish the best for you.
Your problem is that you want to censor ideas you don’t like.
This is a natural result of media controlled by corporate interests. It’s also a misunderstanding of “free speech” – even when you are free to say what you will, it does not mean you are free from the consequences of that speech.
You want to control what other people think by dictating what they get to see and what they’re allowed to share with others.
Again, I suggest looking into how propaganda works. Letting everyone speak about anything (without vetting of topic, qualifications, or direction) has consequences. We are seeing those consequences now and will continue to see more as the propaganda machine runs wild on the back of “let everyone speak”.
Your view of this is overly simplistic and I am, in the most polite way, attempting to direct you to self improvement. It is a common issue at the moment across all discourse – probably vestigial of the information sharing capabilities now available.
It is, perhaps, the only thing he touches that is made in the USA.
