Judge in Epic v. Apple bans Apple from charging commission on purchases made outside App Store

Jump

  • To be clear, I'm not defending anyone here...

    Apple likely delayed it multiple times.

    • Google’s Play Store lost nearly half its apps

    1. About fucking time.
    2. RIP Tasker.

    João, Tasker's dev, already gets hit with enough random shit from Google because of how many permissions, accessibility items, and other things that Tasker requests.

    I've been subscribed to his Patreon for several years, and if you're a paying member, one of your perks is that João offers a free (yeah I know, "free") APK download not tied to Google Play services, with permanent licenses. A few months ago, I finally just said "fuck google in the ass for this", uninstalled the Play Store version from my phone, and got my Patreon Tasker APK.

    Also I just checked and apparently I have 53 licenses available...

  • I keep seeing people mentioning Syncthing with KeePass... I use both, but not together, between 3-4 different devices. I have a central Syncthing server to which all devices sync everything, but my KeePass database (keyfile & password protected is stored on Google Drive, in a G Suite Workspace account that I pay for. The keyfile is stored individually on each device that needs it, with a printed out copy (with instructions!) as a backup.

    Would my keypass database survive Syncthing the way I have it setup?

  • Apple has $50B+ in literal cash. Epic's entire revenue is under $7B/yr. Apple can afford to run Epic for decades on their cash reserves alone without impacting their bottom line.

    That's why it took 4 years. I'm surprised Apple didn't bury them.

  • Maybe bots shouldn't be trying to install malicious code? Sucks to suck.

    • What OS should I use for self-hosting that doesn't require extensive terminal knowledge?

    Jump

  • I love the command line. A terminal window is always open on whatever computer I'm using at the moment, even when I was running Windows.

    But I also like having a dashboard to see what's going on, all right in front of me. I have ADHD, and if I can't see it, then I will forget it exists. I use command line to handle more granular tasks, and have various UIs to help me handle other things, like Proxmox (obvious), Dockge (docker stacks), OMV (NAS), Cockpit (all of my computers have this, really good for remote control), and a few other things I'm forgetting.

  • mainline kernel repository managed by Linus.

    It is 100% decentralized.

    But... How does that work? The code has to be stored somewhere...

  • OP also has an XY problem.

    Oh god, that... I recently realized that I've been fighting that concept with one of my cars for over a year now. Just this week, I finally figured out the right troubleshooting path 😂

  • OP also said they're willing to learn the terminal:

    I would like to find an OS that is easier to setup with less of a neccesity for the command line (I would still like to learn how to use it though, I don't want to get rid of it entirely!).

    They're essentially asking to start with a working and well-known platform that any Joe Regular can use. In car terms, this would be akin to the Chevy 350 V8. Pretty much every car guy knows that engine and how to make it run well without needing to rebuild the entire thing right off the bat.

  • I'm all for command line, but I'm the kind of person who needs a dashboard, otherwise I forget everything. OMV has a solid dashboard and has been really good for me.

  • Work should supply you with a managed device. That's out of your control.

    I'm genuinely curious though - what 'personal use' software do you run that isn't supported in Linux?

  • TBH I kinda like the whole "drive letter" thing. But I also understand mount points, so I don't really miss it, but still. It's nice to have one single window to see all of your internal & external drives, home folders, and network shares. And yes, I'm aware I can do this in Linux as well. Just needs extra configuration - which is not a bad thing.

  • Oh for sure, but EU is actually attempting to modernize their laws for the 21st century. Here in the US, you'd be lucky if there was any protection at all, especially with the absolute farce of an administration currently "running" the country (into the ground, that is).

  • Good points. And fuck snaps. If I have to use some sort of "all-in-one", it's flatpak or nothing.

    Debian might be slightly harder to set up. However, from what I hear, it’s easy enough for most people now.

    It's pretty easy to install these days. I use Debian exclusively on all of my VMs. I prefer the text-based installer because everything is headless and doesn't need a GUI, but there's also a graphical installer as well, which is pretty easy to navigate and use.
