Google must crack open Android for third-party stores, rules Epic judge
  • It's not like Epic set the terms, so not really hypocritical of them. That's to keep Google from immediately capturing the market again, though. Otherwise they would just spend enough money to make all the top apps exclusives and that would prevent competition from forming (in an ideal setting, none of this shit will really matter it's just gonna end up being Google, epic, and maybe 2 more that will end up being about the same as just having Google)

  • Google must crack open Android for third-party stores, rules Epic judge

    The neat part of this is that they're requiring Google to give up their library of apps to other stores and won't allow them to buy up exclusives for at least 3 years. I suspect we will see a lot of scam app stores really soon, though.

    How many layers of self awareness are you on? Don't feel bad, at least you're not... there.
  • These are actually distinct concepts within psychology. Related, but definitely different things and based on research spanning decades. Not all of it is great research and it wouldn't surprise me if some of these concepts are flat out incorrect, but they definitely aren't the same thing.

    Each one focuses on group behaviors, but different group behaviors and the proposed outcome of those behaviors are also different.

    The real mistake being made here is trying to condense these concepts into a couple of sentences and pass it off as useful information when most of it is based on research from 50+ years ago. It's only really useful when you can use this as part of a much larger understanding of how being in a group setting changes individual behavior

  • Anyone else have funny misconceptions about books (or other media) they read when they were little? (Mine in the comments)
  • It's been decades now and I don't really remember, but I've since read it properly and yeah I have no idea how I even did it. I was really just learning to read at that point, so my guess is that I could read without comprehending because it was normal for me then

  • When I was young, maybe 5, I read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Except, I for some reason thought it was two books in one and the other book was called CS Lewis. I read every other page. I think right before that I read some choose your own adventure book and it had me really confused about how books work.

  • The hive thing was originally popularized by "bey-hive" for Beyonce I believe. Then some Kamala supporters used "k-hive" and then they did "b-hive" for Biden. Really it wasn't even Beyonce fans that did it first, they just did it the loudest

  • I'm not particularly familiar with these jets, but my guess is they need a clean room for manufacturing mostly due to electronics and hydraulics. Really just about any kind of precision instrument requires a clean room to manufacture

  • I do actually
  • About 25 years ago I had points taken off of a test in a US history class because I wrote "the civil war" instead of "the war between the states", but this was at a private school in Alabama
