A common “reason” for why student loans shouldn’t be paid off by the government is that it would be unfair to everyone who has already paid off their student loans.

I love this song. The intro sounds so other-worldly.

US sues Apple for illegal monopoly over smartphones ( www.theverge.com )

The US Department of Justice and 16 state and district attorneys general accused Apple of operating an illegal monopoly in the smartphone market in a new antitrust lawsuit. The DOJ and states are accusing Apple of driving up prices for consumers and developers at the expense of making users more reliant on its iPhones.

OC isn’t claiming that the shift in the industry is solely Apple’s fault:

I don’t hate Apple but I do hate their influence

The reality is that what OC said is exactly what happened. Apple removed the headphone jack to coerce people into buying AirPods. Everyone else released their own wireless earbuds to compete, and also removes their headphone jacks for the same reason.

Also, Memmy is shown as having a recent commit 23 days ago - this commit was created by a bot here, and isn’t actually indicative of active development. It may be worth ignoring commits from depandabot when checking for the most recent commit, if that’s possible.

If you end up only considering a single branch, it would be a good idea to let app owners change which branch is considered “main”. Many apps have a main branch that stores the live code state, and a second development branch where all of the work is done. When an update is released, code is pushed from the development branch to the main branch. In this setup, it would make the most sense to show the most recent commit on the development branch rather than the main branch.

Swift’s extensions system has spoiled me, and I feel the pain of this whenever I have to write Java
