Despite a 2023 ruling ordering Apple to loosen its grip on the App Store, the company took extraordinary measures to keep every penny. The decision ended up angering the judge and could cast a shadow over Apple’s business for years, weakening its credibility as legal scrutiny of its operations intensifies. @newyorktimes has the story (subscription may be required). #Apple #Antitrust #AppStore #Epic #Tech #Technology flip.it/FtOavv

#Antitrust, it's not what you think it is... It's one of the first big movies to say #linux vs #microsoft wayyyyy back in 2001. When the movie came out I was 20, and had been using Linux for a couple years at that point. It's still my favorite movie. It's corny in the most #90s of ways... Sebastian, I mean Milo, slayed in that movie. Yea, #cruelintentions is another favorite, but we're talking about #hacker movies here.. And antitrust is a hidden gem not many know of. Check it out if you hadn't.
