How would Apple vs Microsoft change anything in those circumstances, though?

Maybe the toolchain no longer runs on modern architectures?

Okay, so two of nine extant subspecies are endangered... And the other seven are not.

Thank you. I wanted to point out the same thing: it's an important distinction to make.

And where do you develop and compile apps for those iPhones? ;)

They have very flashy, AAA-style graphics now. Check out Konami's pivot:

You can disable monsters altogether, if that's the concern. :)

Weirdly, it opens fine (but slowly) in iOS Safari...

Hence this quote:

Soviet doesn't necessarily equate to Russian, in the same way that you can be a non-German Nazi...

You are being a fool. Exchanges have been known to close, be seized, and be stolen from, without warning.

Cryptocurrency frees you from needing to trust central banks/exchanges... so why continue to trust them? Especially un(der)regulated ones?!

At best, store only the smallest amount you're willing to lose, so you retain some liquidity for sudden trades...

Not what GP was asking. Desire might not even correlate with sperm count!

Maybe decreased desire even leads to count and motility decreases?

If you could export the diff, or import settings, that would be adequate.

In Copenhagen, there's a similar style restaurant that only uses old world ingredients for similar reasons.

Two Michelin starred, too! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noma_(restaurant)

Depends on how much funding Discord has already raised, I bet. Their VCs are generally going to want a massive exit, and I bet the valuations after previous raises are non-trivial. Guessing that Valve is adverse to acquisitions in general too, for their weird cultural reasons.

EDIT: $725 million. Not cheap.

Pretty sure they had signed and entered an agreement preemptively, and their subsequent violation is what caused the later suit.
