The Diamond Age by Neil Stephenson

sounds interesting. Noted

misleading title

The International Criminal Court ’s chief prosecutor has lost access to his email, and his bank accounts have been frozen.

The Hague-based court’s American staffers have been told that if they travel to the U.S. they risk arrest.

Some nongovernmental organizations have stopped working with the ICC and the leaders of one won’t even reply to emails from court officials.

Those are just some of the hurdles facing court staff since U.S. President Donald Trump in February slapped sanctions on its chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, according to interviews with current and former ICC officials, international lawyers and human rights advocates.

did Microsoft also freeze his bank accounts?

this is the title ☞ “President Donald Trump in February slapped sanctions on its chief prosecutor, Karim Khan”

Poor people deserve bad customer service, too!

When I was nearly finished writing The Anxious Generation in the summer of 2023, I realized that I had left a gap.

i hate it when writers do that. Most of the writers wait a couple of paragraphs before plugging, this one starts with the plug and keeps at it :/

OP was writing about notifications and Google Play Services handle that. OP was clear about their problem

fDroid is a replacement for “store”, not “services”

Many races believe that the creation of the Universe involved some sort of God, though the Jatravartid people of Viltvodle VI believe that the entire Universe was in fact sneezed out of the nose of a being known as the Great Green Arkleseizure. The Jatravartids live in perpetual fear of the time they call “the Coming of the Great White Handkerchief,” somewhat similar to the Apocalypse. However, the Great Green Arkleseizure theory is not widely accepted outside Viltvodle VI and so, the Universe being as wide and strange as it is, other explanations are constantly being sought by different races throughout the Galaxy.

why “thank christ”? Was Christ advocating for tab groups?

you should stop calling people “normies”, if you want them to care about what you have to say

The Google Play Store shed 1.8 million apps since the beginning of last year, according to an analysis from Appfigures and reported earlier by TechCrunch.

In recent years, Google has ramped up efforts to crack down on spammy and low-quality apps. In 2023, the company started carrying out more thorough app reviews and began requiring developers to test their apps with at least 20 people for two weeks. It began purging apps with “limited functionality and content” last year, and announced in January that it blocked 2.36 million policy-violating apps from being published to the Play Store.

“shed” was definitely a better choice
