Unity deleted these terms, don't let them get out

Reply in thread

The game is complete and will receive no future updates from me, but will remain on sale for the foreseeable future.

That's the sticking point. A game could be complete, and receiving no material updates, but still need to be "updated". Sometimes the app stores require a re-compile and you will be bound by the new terms.

In the worst cases, a highly played but low earning game (like Flappy Bird) requires a recompile to update the minimum API level it supports in the Google play store. There are no gameplay changes what-so-ever. If you don't re-compile and update it, Google will de-list the game. But you also can't submit the update unless you accept the new terms.

Google Promises Unlimited Cloud Storage; Then Cancels Plan; Then Tells Journalist His Life’s Work Will Be Deleted Without Enough Time To Transfer The Data

Google didn't tell him that they were going to delete the data until a week before. I think that's the issue. It's like when you tell someone a family member moved on, you need to use the word "die" or it's open to interpretation. Google needed to straight up say that they were going to delete the data after 6 months, but they didn't.

archive of our own does a fundraising event, and asks for donations until they get to their target. I could see Lemmy instances following the same model; if they do it right and get themselves listed as a non-profit, they can even get fundraising functionality into an app, and set it up so that Apple doesn't take their 30% cut.

Donald Trump tells court he had no duty to ‘support’ the US Constitution

Reply in thread

You can preserve, protect, and defend something you don't support. Debate 101 at even a high school level is learning how to argue the side of an argument that you don't support.

So while in office, he preserved/protected/defended something he didn't support. He then lead some form of rebellion against it, causing him to be in violation of the spirit of the 14th but not the letter as it's written, so he should still be qualified to serve.

The Supreme Court would love this wordplay, except, if they actually accept it, they're not just invalidating the spirit of the 14th, but undermining it completely as it would never ever ever be relevant to anyone, ever again. And wouldn't that also be against their oaths to uphold the constitution?

So most likely Trump will be eligible for re-election because I have no doubt that if they can get away with the Citizens United ruling, they can and will do whatever the hell they want.

Yeah. It also pretends like a landlords income isn't related to their wellbeing. In some cases it might not be, but for most mom and pop landlords it directly is.
