Linux is looking better.

I almost forgot. The FTC regulation not only prohibits noncompete agreements but also bars TRAPs (Training Repayment Agreement Provisions), which mandate employees to pay their employers thousands of dollars upon resignation, termination, or dismissal.

... If you want to retain your employees, keep them happy. If you want shackled indentured servants, use the court system to force them to do a job they hate. NOTE: The rule contains an exception that allows noncompetes to remain in place for *policy makers* earning more than $151,000 per year.

Android won't be killed by Google, but your Google Play Developer account could still face a ban for reasons unrelated to Google Play.

I use Proton Mail; NOT GMail, but I use Google to leave reviews. Sometimes when I log into my Google a/c, I get a nasty message: "​It looks like this a/c was created or used with multiple other accounts to violate Google's policies. The account might have been created by a computer program or bot."

... these profits that only exist on paper are called "phantom profits" b/c they're not real profits that can used or spent because they haven't been received yet. The fun part is the bill going into how businesses should capitalize and amortize their electricity expenses, based on dev vs non-dev.

... you can't immediately count all of that spending as a loss on your taxes. You have to deduct that spending over several years. So, on paper, it might look like you're making more profit than you actually are b/c you haven't deducted all of your expenses yet ...

I have no interest in either side, but from a legal standpoint, what contract has Open AI violated? A promise is not a contract.

Google kills everything that they can't monetize with billions of users.

JetBrains makes IDEs that some people use. I am surprised to see them use legal intimidation to shut down new tech.
