The ribbon was introduced in Office 2007. The backsliding started a long time ago.

The terms of service have now been updated, but ordinarily that occurs well before a big change like using user data for a new purpose like this. The idea is it gives users an option to make account changes or leave the platform if they don’t like the changes. Not this time, it seems.

They should be required to delete their training data and start over after people have had a chance to opt in.

This isn't just in the US; I've got the setting in Canada and I'd assume it's in just about any country where LinkedIn is available that isn't on the very short list of exceptions.

The article ignores the big drop after Tuesday's debate; the share price "soared" to less than it closed at before the debate.

they could rationalize any shit take they wanted to push by saying “thousands of people on twitter are concerned about X problem”

A lot of the time they don't put any number on the people, and then it turns out they wrote a whole-ass article on what dozens of people on twitter are saying.

To sell a game outside Apple’s App Store, developers must effectively pay a 50 euro cent per user per year installation fee once they reach a certain number of downloads. If developers want to link users to purchases outside the app, they’ll also need to fork out a 10 percent commission on all sales made “on any platform” — including outside of iOS. That’s on top of a 5 percent commission on purchases made within one year of the app’s installation. Then, they’d have to pay any fees charged by the operator of the new marketplace. In Epic’s case, that’s 12 percent — a significant discount on its own, but a major addition once you factor in Apple’s costs.

Checking Apple's fee calculator, apps that publish exclusively on third party stores don't have to pay Apple any commission, just the core technology fee. That makes it a bit less crazy, and I don't think article mentions it. Epic could save itself a lot of money by just not using the App Store but complaining is much more fun for Tim Sweeney.

He may give everybody a vote, doesn't mean he'll let them all count.

But remember, advertisers boycotting XTwitter is horrible and illegal and mean and against the First Amendment.

I don't know how many states did that bullshit. I just know terrible right-wing ideas usually spread, so I assume if there's one there's probably more.

I would expect Georgia is one of the states where it's illegal to give water to people in line to vote.

the only complaint came from a Russian boxing body with a history of making suspect claims in the past

And that was only after she defeated a previously undefeated Russian. Sounds an awful lot like sore losers making up excuses.
