I just tried Google as well: just searching for "OCLP" gives it has the first hit.

Pretty sure that Covid and Putin's ego project have had a bigger impact than Trump. With all his backsliding, weâ(TM)ll have to wait a little longer to see how much impact Trump has in comparison.

Why is it hard to Google for it? Other than an unrelated Wikipedia page, everything from DDG is on topic.

I didn't miss your point, but I don't think it's valid. All operating systems come with a minimum set of applications and tools that make it useful. Apple's selection might not be the best or the most functional, but they're good enough to at least get started. I don't think it's their job or right to sift through all the third party alternatives to select what they think is the best for their users, and nor do most people want the Linux experience where you get a dozen of everything and no help deciding which is the best to use.

I think youâ(TM)re overstating what a refurb is. The rolling stock isnâ(TM)t due for replacement until after the Piccadilly Line trains (also from 1973), but funding shortfalls might mean that doesnâ(TM)t happen until later 2030s or 2040s, putting the trains at twice their design age of about 70 years old.

What third part shit does Apple think is popular and preinstall? Never seen anything.

Nothing like HTML. Itâ(TM)s far more lightweight and interferes with legibility a lot less. I couldnâ(TM)t imagine trying to type Slack messages on my phone in HTML, what a nightmare, but its flavour of MD is fine. Iâ(TM)m surprised you havenâ(TM)t encountered because itâ(TM)s everywhere. I will have used it in GitLab, Jira and Slack by mid-morning, and maybe somewhere else too.

Thatâ(TM)s a stupid question, but you were just trying to whinge about something completely unrelated, werenâ(TM)t you? The only way this issue will be fixed is if /. fixes its bugs. Until then: weep. It must be frustrating knowing that /. will never fix this bug as they donâ(TM)t spend money and are just try to squeeze out a dwindling supply of revenue from a niche website with declining numbers and an audience whoâ(TM)s very proactive about blocking ads.

Before GPS navigation, I would study my route in advance and write down a list of road numbers and towns. If I hadnâ(TM)t managed to memorise it, I had a summary that was really quick to check and refresh myself from. If I actually needed to look at the road atlas, I pulled over instead of driving dangerously. The modern equivalent of the turn by turn instructions from Google are ridiculous and way too detailed to the point of being useless. Eyes should be on the road.

30% is a BS number because this is only for the first year. This is also offset by the costs of running an App Store and processing financial transactions. But thatâ(TM)s assuming they win the lawsuit (which they did). The costs of this are irrelevant compared to choosing not to do business at all.

Why? It was a choice: they could have complied while the court case went on.

You've just made me realise that I haven't seen anybody walking their car for many years or stopped to help them push start it. Manuals still make up the majority of the cars on the road here in the UK, so maybe it's just a function of my lifestyle or perhaps people just wait for a jump start these days? It could be that push starting is just a nightmare on busy the roads of London?

I was shot down on this site for predicting this asking the simple question: what evidence is there to believe that consumers would pay less. I think some people got too caught up in somebody trying to stick it to Apple. At best, Epic might offer a small discount over Apple to try to tempt people over to their payment system. But it will never be more than 30% because then there is no point and they have the cost of running their own store and payment processing. Actually, it was always less than 30% because that number is BS and is steeply discounted by Apple after the first year.

Yawn.

Why does every story have to be hijacked by unrelated banal and childish comments about American politics?

Thanks ;)
