Wispy2891@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Trump says a 25% tariff "must be paid by Apple" on iPhones not made in the US, says he told Tim Cook long ago that iPhones sold in the US must be made in the USEnglish213·12 hours agoWell, technically, any kind of tariff added to the import is always paid by Apple, who else would pay it? Some unrelated company? A foreign country?
They will simply increase the price by an amount that will keep them making the same amount of money. The main problem is that because they like to do a round price worldwide, we European we’ll pay more too, so they can make more money. Assholes

It’s obvious that it has been manipulated as you don’t go from #14 to #2 overnight with votes evenly spread around many countries, especially when the song is not a hit
They intentionally chose her, because being a survivor of that terrorist attack, they can push the “see? Hamas bad, they killed 1000 innocent Israelis”
Every year Israel gets millions of votes that don’t match the song listening stats

Stupider than the “volume knob repurposed as a shifter” from Jeep

Especially in an environment where the pace is frantic and the workers are pushed by management to become mindless drones

I’m a lowly peasant and my work let me do a yearly blood+pee test, I assumed that for presidents it would be something like a weekly checkup
Trakt raises the VIP subscription to $60/year? Are they crazy? They really think that a service that simply tracks what movies you watch is worth that price?
There are streaming subscriptions cheaper than that
Wispy2891@lemmy.worldto pics@lemmy.world•This is Martin Owens. He is a leading developer of Inkscape, a free open-source vector graphics editor. Adobe has lost millions of dollars because of his work. Thank you Martin 🫡2·7 days agoInkscape is good but it can’t replace illustrator, especially for the needs of someone willing to pay $1000/year for it
Maybe the affinity suite is more appropriate (ROI in just 2 months of adobe subscription)

-
They are not a public company so there’s no stock manipulation
-
They are not selling API access to the public
-
They don’t have some sort of crypto coin scam that they could print when need some cash flow
Where those billions come from? It’s just melon charging ridiculous prices to his own companies? Like if Tesla needed some sort of ai api Key they’re going to pay xai 100000% over the market value? Isn’t that illegal, money laundering or something like that?

Wispy2891@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Nextcloud cries foul over Google Play Store app rejectionEnglish1·10 days agoFor fdroid the app is compiled on fdroid servers when dev tags a new release on GitHub. So the app matches the source, it’s not possible to put a tainted APK to download
Now, if the malicious code is slowly added to the source over the course of an year like it happened with the xz utils, this won’t change the result, but it’s easier to do so with a compiled binary. Release clean source and infected binary, it will take a longer time to get caught
For the closed source app stores, on iOS there’s the manual inspection (which is not infallible especially if they timebomb or geofence the bad feature) and for Google there’s the automated inspection (which fails often seeing the news) that should find problems

Wispy2891@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Nextcloud cries foul over Google Play Store app rejectionEnglish13·11 days agoWhen I saw the process to add Google drive support to an app I thought: “wouldn’t be easier to just discontinue the public APIs?”
If I was a dev I would immediately remove the integration instead of paying the required thousands (yearly!) to keep it. Then in the app explain the situation to the customer, add a referral link to Dropbox, onedrive or other competitors
Wispy2891@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Nextcloud cries foul over Google Play Store app rejectionEnglish6·11 days agoYou get apps a couple days earlier
But it comes with a huge downside: if dev goes rogue or gets hacked, you could install a malicious version of the app that doesn’t match the source

There can’t be a legitimate reason to do so, even if he said he needed to reference them all for a thesis or something like that
