If you're working on a good an useful app, you have to jump through flaming hoops to get it in the App Store.
If you're producing worthless garbage that makes Apple money, no problem at all.
The same Ikea desk legs that were out of stock before are out of stock again. Should have ordered them when I had the chance, even if I'm not planning to put those desks in place right away.
That only affects the main office; the desks in at least four of the other five rooms use different legs that are still in stock and which I am going to order right now before those also disappear.
Ordering the legs for ten desks gives me a delivery fee of $29. One small desktop, $599. That's why I didn't place an order sooner.
Speaking of ordering stuff, I bought some books. I buy books all the time - every time there's a Humble Book Bundle that isn't rubbish I'll throw some money at it, so I average about 100 new books a month.
But those are digital. I stopped buying paper books a few years ago because (a) I mostly read on my tablet and (b) my old house was completely and utterly out of room.
Now I have room. Lots of. Have to buy all the books before they stop printing them.

The answer makes sense: The server you log in to holds details like your email address and password, all servers hold your public data, and any server hosting a user you send a private message holds that private message.
Which means the admin of any server hosting a user you send a private message can read that private message. No end-to-end encryption.
There are reasons for that, and the former staff of Twitter were little better than a random nobody running an anonymous Mastodon node, but it's something to be aware of.
Due to the global recession that dare not speak its name and the ongoing higher-order fuckery in China. Not sure how much each element is contributing, but neither is good.
Technical skills, that is. Well, customers too at this point.
Who the fucking fuck thought it was a good idea to give this sociopathic retard ten billion dollars in the first place? And why hasn't anyone been arrested yet?
This is what we in the olden days used to call an integration. ETL stands for extract, transform, load, meaning you dump the data out of one application, painstakingly convert the file format, and load it into the new one.
