The Google Play Store keeps banning a third-party web browser. (Ars Technica)

Not because Google hates third-party web browsers, but because this web browser keeps getting hit by nonsensical DMCA takedown notices.

Like it containing "Properties of Warner Bros. Discovery Inc." when you load the Warner Bros. web site. Which is kind of what a web browser does.

I have a sneaking suspicion why this particular browser is getting hit: It integrates a file explorer, and is called Downloader.

The United Arab Emirates is playing host to the latest round of global climate talks this week. It is using those talks as a springboard for new oil and gas deals. (New York Times) (archive site)

I'm so proud.
On Black Friday, Shopify averaged a million requests per second, delivering nearly 30 petabytes of data. (Twitter)
