but only as in the modifications to Falcon 9 to make Falcon Heavy, right?

I was hoping for this.
Apples new App-Store rules seemed to mock the intent of the Digital Markets Act.

well, doesn’t it make sense when the business-model is to recoup R&D cost of the console with expensive games?
DRM becomes much harder once you can’t trust the system anymore.

Nintendo tried to lock the system down, and got fucked by NVIDIA.

So Apple still wants to have the power to reject apps from third party app stores.

Curious if that will pass the EUs “Gatekeeper Law”, when they explicitly want to stay the gatekeeper, even if unpaid.

I’m not convinced that mobile is a good platform for longer-term games.
want to spend 5-10 minutes waiting on the bus while flapping a bird or crushing some candy? makes sense to me.
Resident Evil? I’m not so sure.
On the other hand, Fortnite seems to work, so what do I know?

Anyway, I think Phones have become powerful enough that they should be able to get docked to a Desk/TV. Then it makes more sense to me again, a Phone could be the only computing device most people use

Well, from the EUs perspective, while the US is certainly generally an Ally, it is sometimes a rather tense relationship.

I’d argue, you could describe China pretty similarly, although that would be somewhat disingenuous, as I think EU and US values are more similar than EU and Chinese values.

Anyway, if you don’t want the data of your people to go to some questionable other country, you’d have to forbid US social networks as well.

It would be one of the worst displays you’ve ever seen, if not the worst.

nextcloud talk can also be an alternative (open source and self-hosted).

but I think the whole nextcloud suite is more suited as a hub for a (small?) business, not necessarily great for, lets say, family videocalls (due to the necessity of having an administrator who runs it).

They moved the storage of encryption keys for Chinese users to servers in China instead of shutting down iMessage and Facetime. Quite the different response compared to here.

I was assuming Apple was posturing until they’d actually have to do something.
They could well have postured in China as well, before backtracking. I have no Idea if that happened, but it seems reasonable from a PR vs Legal vs business development standpoint.

just because they propably could afford to lose the money, doesn’t mean that they will.

I think it may be decent, but the homepage is not convincing me.

I had a tiny little look, and don’t like that I had to log in (although selfhosting seems to be possible since very recently), and then had a weirdly full notebook. It also seems like they don’t save their data in nice little markdown files, but use some custom database-stuff.
They probably allow exporting into markdown, but I’d prefer it to be stored in a legible format.

Overall, I had a look, and I’ll stay with logseq + syncthing

wait what?

the primary cause is loan-loss provisions which are when a bank has to compensate for greater than expected unpaid credit card balances and loans.

Sooo Apple Card users used more credit on their credit cards than expected?
I thought that was good for banks? Don’t you have to pay interest on that? I’m not entirely sure, because I’m not used to the (in my view primarily american) credit card system of “paying off credit cards”, which I know mostly from TV.
The only way this makes sense seems to be if you don’t pay any interest if you return the money in a certain timeframe. That would mean the Bank effectively has to eat the interest-cost, and could have more cost.

$659 million in quarterly revenue
…
Goldman had $544 million in credit losses and $987 million for operating expenses

Credit loss: a loss that a business or financial organization records, which is caused by customers not paying money they owe

So, the division had only 660 Million Revenue, lost 544 million to people not paying their debt (is that money gone, or are those people still owing that money to Goldman?) and paid nearly a billion to operate this for a single quarter?
dafuq?

Is Apple Card in danger if Goldman does their best to pull the plug?

So is this theory of veganism to not cause pain to an animal? If so what about ethically sourced meat. Like bullet to the head/decapitation. Most of those creatures feel nothing, they just end.

lots (propably most) animals used for farming meat are in pain during their lives.
That’s longer than the time they’re dying in any case.
