@cdarwin@c.imBack in April, District Court Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers delivered a scathing judgment
finding that Apple was in “willful violation” of her 2021 injunction
intended to open up iOS App Store payments.
That contempt of court finding has now been almost entirely upheld by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals,
a development that Epic Games’ Tim Sweeney tells Ars he hopes will

@brewsterkahle@mastodon.archive.orgMinor good news for libraries: "A Victory for IMLS as Court Blocks Trump’s Attempt to Dismantle Agency"
IMLS is the Institute of Museum and Library Services, which funds leadership training and R&D in libraries in the US. A small % of library funding but important.
but I believe everyone is gone and grants cancelled so not sure what happens if funding returns-- who gets employed?

@cdarwin@c.imThe Department of Justice estimates that American police officers shoot 10,000 pet dogs in the line of duty each year.
It is impossible to ascertain a reliable number, however, because most law enforcement agencies do not maintain accurate records of animal killings.
The tally may be substantially higher, and some suggest it could reach six figures.

@cdarwin@c.imSupreme Court hearing challenge to Trump’s sweeping tariffs policy
The Supreme Court is not being asked to pass judgment on the wisdom of Donald Trump’s tariffs.
-- The market is responsible for rendering that verdict.
So far, it’s a negative one.
One big question facing the justices is whether Trump’s tariffs violate a Supreme Court standard called the
“major questions doctrine.”
The doctrine, which the justices recognized in a 2022 case,

@gwire@mastodon.socialDuring my fever on Friday night I was convinced I was in an alternate reality, travelling the US via casino-trains.
(If I can remember it, in the dream, there was some pre-1920s judgment that said that gambling on a card game played on an interstate train was not subject to any state's regulation. Fast forward a century and the US had a highly developed rail network, but most passenger trains were also casinos.)

They noted that leadership in the office has steadily and atypically become dominated by Trump’s political appo…
@cdarwin@c.imA formerly incarcerated man,
who has since been cleared of his 1985 first-degree murder conviction,
was able to save his lawsuit from summary judgment as requested by New Orleans,
whose retired police detective allegedly withheld exculpatory evidence from the court.
The man was jailed for more than 30 years for the alleged murder,
and he has plausibly alleged a negligence claim against the ex-detective and a vicarious liability claim against New Orleans.
