Is that the whole text of the article? (paywall) Was there any investigation as to the source of the data on the report? As this is a leased vehicle, I would not be surprised if the data came from a dealer module that they use to immobilize and locate the vehicle if you miss a payment or otherwise violate your lease.

According to the report, the trip details had been provided by General Motors

the states all already have disparate requirements regarding how to get on the ballot: filing deadlines, petition signatures, write in eligibility… How is “verifying against constitutional requirements” any different?

By the logic of that decision, states must allow young candidates to run on the ballot, even if they would not be 35 by the inauguration date, because that is a constitutional requirement that can only be enforced at the federal level.

Americans will be cut off from accessing a form of meat that many hope will be significantly kinder to the planet and animals.

It took me way too many rereads to realize that kinder did not refer to children or chocolates…

I remember that I got to wfh so I had no commute, and people left me alone to actually do my job. All the orgs I keep busy with were shut down, so I finally got to rest.

But my anxiety was through the fucking roof because every 2 weeks, either my work or some other group would be like “let’s plan a get-together now that COVID is almost over!”

I was an Animal Crosser.

I’m not sure how much higher they can raise.

It seems that the App Store and other walled garden restrictions are what the suit is about. The posted article is vague and confusing: first talking about an “illegal monopoly in smartphones” but then referring to the “walled garden”, etc.

This article notes that

The heart of the lawsuit centers around claims that Apple stopped smaller companies from accessing the hardware and software in its iPhones, which led to fewer options for customers.

referring to hardware monopoly power may be some legalese needed to meet the requirements to file an antitrust suit, or to head off defense arguments by making a distinction between Apple and other instances of walled gardens, like game consoles.

Probably means using SMS instead of RCS which forces photos into a lower quality and all the reactions get sent as: so-and-so liked “message text”
