  • Class members, estimated in the tens of millions, may receive up to $20 per Siri-enabled device, such as iPhones and Apple Watches.

    The $95m is about nine hours of profit for Apple, whose net income was $93.74bn in its latest fiscal year.

    That is not much to cover the violation of privacy and all the private discussions sent to third party advertisers.

    Furthermore, a settlement does not involve an admission of wrongdoing nor a judicial finding of liability. Therefore no action (most probably) will be done on Apple’s side.

    That, of course, will cover the violation of privacy and all the private discussions sent to third party advertisers. Also the amount is negligible against their annual profits.

    South Korean police attempted to arrest suspended President Yoon Suk Yeol after he ignored multiple summonses related to an investigation into his alleged abuse of power and incitement of insurrection during a failed martial law declaration. The operation, involving around 150 officers, was called off after a six-hour standoff due to being outnumbered by Yoon’s supporters and his security personnel. Yoon’s supporters celebrated the police’s withdrawal, chanting slogans reminiscent of U.S. election protests. The investigation agency, the Corruption Investigation Office (CIO), expressed regret over Yoon’s refusal to cooperate and indicated they may seek a new arrest warrant before the current one expires on January 6. Political tensions have escalated in South Korea, with ongoing protests and parliamentary actions against Yoon and his administration.

    Orange cats are known for their energetic and mischievous nature, with a cultural belief in Italy that they are often leaders. This reputation is linked to the fact that most orange cats are male, a phenomenon explained by recent genetic research. Two independent scientific teams discovered that a mutation on the X chromosome is responsible for the orange coat color in domesticated cats.

    Male cats have one X chromosome, while females have two, which accounts for the mixed coloration seen in female

    tortoiseshell and calico cats. Unlike other mammals, where mutations in the Mc1r gene lead to red fur, cats have a different genetic mechanism. The gene Arhgap36, located on the X chromosome, was identified as the source of the orange coloration, resulting in a significant increase in RNA production. This finding sheds light on the unique genetic basis for orange fur in cats, making them a “genetic unicorn” among felines.

    I suppose it’s your daily driver.

    I’m very hesitant on what distro to use on my next brand new computer. Mainly for gaming and some AI Dev. I considered using bazzite (which I tried on my previous) and tuxedo.

    Tuxedo os seems to be great but I quite don’t like Ubuntu. Did tuxedo remove the bloat and snap? I prefer flatpack.

    And one big issue is convenience.

    People will not go to a more humane place if it’s not convenient enough. For example, choosing a Fediverse instance is a no-no for even my tech savvy friends. Too much choice, too many steps.

    Most people, at least around me, want to click and consume. So they stay on predatory yet easy to use platforms.

    I still try to bring awareness nonetheless.

    Quite an interesting new app with a clean ui.

    However, it has the same markdown support as other app I found on fdroid.

    On a somewhat related note (pun intended), I’m desperately looking for a FOSS alternative to Google’s Keep Notes. Mainly for the note’s sync with someone else’s app but also for the way its checklist are handled. Edit and interact on that same view, checked items are strukethrough and moved to the bottom. Also typing an old item can autocomplete and uncheck it.

    Sorry for the awkward feature request-like comment.

    I’m waiting for such an app/feature so I can convince my husband to abandon keep notes.
