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

Relative to RFK, maybe

There were Republicans who spoke at the convention last week. She probably means Republicans like them, not MAGA ones.

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.

Have you heard about AIPAC spending loads of money to take out pro-Palenstinian incumbents in the primaries? They can probably cause Harris more trouble in the election than the pro-Palestinian protesters.

They needed to have something that might be less appealing than an AI assistant

They're already demanding search engines pay to search Reddit; will they have to pay even more to search paid subreddits?
