Pricing seems to be the same as the previous version. They could have at least charged a little less for the much shorter licenses.

My 100GB music library leaves less space than I'd like on a 128GB phone.

It's "many" like in "Many people on twitter are saying..." i.e. they found 3 or 4 people saying crazy shit and acted like it was a big thing.

LinkedIn's blog post on this isn't at all apologetic, just "the privacy policy already let us do this but we've updated it to be clearer." I was expecting them to say something accidentally went live early or there was some other mistake. Nope, it's all according to plan. Fuck you LinkedIn.

It's more about spite at this point

The ribbon was introduced in Office 2007. The backsliding started a long time ago.

The terms of service have now been updated, but ordinarily that occurs well before a big change like using user data for a new purpose like this. The idea is it gives users an option to make account changes or leave the platform if they don’t like the changes. Not this time, it seems.

They should be required to delete their training data and start over after people have had a chance to opt in.

This isn't just in the US; I've got the setting in Canada and I'd assume it's in just about any country where LinkedIn is available that isn't on the very short list of exceptions.

To sell a game outside Apple’s App Store, developers must effectively pay a 50 euro cent per user per year installation fee once they reach a certain number of downloads. If developers want to link users to purchases outside the app, they’ll also need to fork out a 10 percent commission on all sales made “on any platform” — including outside of iOS. That’s on top of a 5 percent commission on purchases made within one year of the app’s installation. Then, they’d have to pay any fees charged by the operator of the new marketplace. In Epic’s case, that’s 12 percent — a significant discount on its own, but a major addition once you factor in Apple’s costs.

Checking Apple's fee calculator, apps that publish exclusively on third party stores don't have to pay Apple any commission, just the core technology fee. That makes it a bit less crazy, and I don't think article mentions it. Epic could save itself a lot of money by just not using the App Store but complaining is much more fun for Tim Sweeney.

They're already demanding search engines pay to search Reddit; will they have to pay even more to search paid subreddits?

A stool test sure, but I'm not going to trust a toilet to use a sterile needle to draw blood.
