I would blow Dane Cook posted:Were you thinking that Billy Corgan had taken over the other NWA? I was afraid it was Billy Corgan the documentarian/activist from Miami who is also kind of a pain in the rear end but in the complete opposite direction. That would have been almost as confusing his smashing pumpkins taking over and re-releasing boyz in the Hood

Zesty posted:Anytime you see someone like this, like Boebert or MTG, or some Nazi saying DeSantis would be the first catholic president, it's because they're driving up their engagement so the algorithm puts them on more screens. Not everything is some deep fourth dimensional chess for engagement though, a lot of people are just really like this. I'd say the majority of MuskleMen are, in fact, just this stupid. I just muted the guy because his post was dumb and he seems dumb and I carefully curated my timeline so it's mostly cute animal videos and people that I think are funny. So there goes his engagement with me...profit?

priznat posted:I read this earlier today and as a kara swisher fan I was a bit taken aback, I never got the impression she was cheerleading for musk. She basically would just say “that’s elon, he’s a showman” with the unspoken thing being she believed him to be full of poo poo. She was pretty critical of him on more than one occasion to the point where he won’t talk to her. Not exactly fawning. I would avoid both Post and Hive. on Post: https://www.jwz.org/blog/2022/11/psa-do-not-use-services-that-hate-the-internet/ Post Dot News also seems absolutely vile. First of all, Marc Andreessen is an investor, and there is no redder red flag than that. "How much more red? None. None more red", as Spinal Tap would say. He's a right wing reactionary whose idea of "free speech" is in line with Musk, Trump, Thiel and the rest of the Klept. Second, it appears to be focused on "micropayments", which these days means "cryptocurrency Ponzi schemes", another of marca's favorite grifts. They call themselves "a platform for real people, civil conversations". So, Real Names Policy and tone policing by rich white dudes is how I translate that. But hey, at least their TOS says they won't discriminate against billionaires: "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, regardless of their gender, religion, ethnicity, race, sexual orientation, net worth, or beliefs."

Wait if an app is free, like twitter, then does Apple just get 30% of nothing and host it in the app store for free? Or does the developer pay some kind of fee up front?

The 30% is only for paid apps and things like in-app purchases (like Twitter Blue). Outside of that you only need to pay $100,- a year to register as developer. Technically you could bypass the in-app subscription thing by doing it through your own portal but that goes against the TOS and will definitely get you kicked off (they check this stuff during the app approval process). Basically Apple wants 30% of any payment you receive through the app, though if your income is less than a million a year you can apparently get this down to 15%.

If the app is free, the developer only pays the annual store fee which is like $100 or something. But if the app has micro transactions or the like then I think Apple take 30% of each one. So people could pay their $8 for a "verified" checkmark on the web version and Apple would get nothing.

One of the reasons why some game companies go through the effort and expense of making a PC version of their app is because then they are allowed to sell microtransactions on the PC version without paying Apple. I play one game that gives you extra rewards if you buy poo poo directly from them while logged onto the PC version instead of buying through the app. Not sure how that works for Twitter, which is not a "game" that can have a "PC Version".

There's also a windows twitter app, although I think it might largely just be the twitter PWA wrapped up in a container.

Durzel posted:This tactic worked brilliantly for Epic Games as I recall, who pulled a similar stunt and then got Fortnite booted off the App Store, before substantively losing in court when they challenged Apple's position. Both of them lost: Epic failed at their anti-trust argument, but Apple got ruled against them that requiring companies to do payments exclusively via themselves is anti-competitive. Both companies appealed the decision, and that's just starting now. Durzel posted:As far as I know Spotify, Netflix et al provide in app links for people to sign up for subscriptions via their respective websites, to bypass this 30% fee. Apple seems to be ok with them and other big hitters doing this, and I presume would be with Twitter as well. Apple isn't ok with it but they don't have the weight to force it. Before Musk, twitter would have been one of the apps that I'd say were big enough to get away with ducking the apple tax. If twitter blue had ever mattered to twitter they could have done that. They didn't bother because Now though? LMAO. Apple can push them around a lot more. There's been so much bad news about twitter, if they get dropped from the app store it'll be understood that twitter is a mess.

Kingo Ligma posted:Billy Corgan of smashing pumpkins fame owns an entire wrestling league. Being a contrarian and also insanely rich has turned him into an extremely specific kind of crazy where he runs a vegan cafe but regularly hangs out with Alex Jones. This leads to things like him just asking questions Joe Rogan style (sometimes with Rogan) and employing fox News hosts to pretend to get punched in the head. https://www.bitchmedia.org/post/billy-corgan-decides-transphobia-is-the-only-way-to-get-attention Iirc a guitar pedal builder did a kickstarter rug pull so everyone dogpiled on the trans aspect for cheap dunks. The OCD pedal guy is also a massive transphobe, but he went out of buisness this year so gently caress him.

vaginite posted:lmao at how fast chuds 180 on every belief they have Its a purely reactionary victimhood narrative ideaology that operates on Ingsoc levels of Tucker Carlson and key MAGA figures like DeSantis, Tucker Carlson and I guess now Elon tell chuds to be mad about based on the latest pushback by Democrats or some private entity against their right wing bullshit. Its that way by design so they can quickly move on to the current grievance and whipping based on that rather than have to stick particularly hard to a given ideaology or stance that may not keep them all whipped up in sync.

pixaal posted:Microsoft app store exists it's part of windows and Microsoft really wants people to use it. The Microsoft App Store reminds me of the 2008-ish iOS App Store where it was full of hastily rammed-together calculators and fart sound effect apps, but it’s in 2022. Also I hope Apple drops Twitter not because I particularly love Apple but because I’m so sick of Nazis getting free exposure that I want Twitter to die so I don’t have to see people post nazi hot takes on other sites.

Withnail posted:Well poo poo, is Perry Farrell still cool? I saw NIN/JA and Jane's Addiction came out, Perry was hosed up, and immediately yells, "HELLO SANTA FEEEEEEEE!" He is then booed by the entire crowd, followed by a collective, "YOU'RE IN loving ALBUQUERQUE" He then insisted it was Santa Fe and people started leaving. NIN was great, though. JA played the hits first and they were mediocre, I didn't make it all the way through that one.
