Apple & Google are spreading myths about the App Store Freedom Act. Reality: #ASFA ends their "unjustified" 30% app tax, gives consumers real choice, and unlocks innovation. It's time to break up the monopoly and unlock innovation. Read the facts: appfairness.org/setting-the-…

Thanks Algeria Telecomm and thanks to all of the folks who helped establish contact.
Fortnite is now back online in Algeria!
Congrats Unity! Big competition in mobile payments coming in response to EU, UK, and Japan fair competition regulations and court victories against Apple and Google’s unlawful practices.
Today, we announced our new native cross-platform commerce management product, now in limited early access. Our new product eliminates the hassle of juggling multiple SDKs, rules, and payout systems. It puts developers back in control of their own success by giving them a single place to manage and optimize their global commerce and digital stores across mobile, web, and PC directly inside the Unity Engine. Developers can choose their preferred payment providers, including programmable financial services company @stripe - all without any platform-specific tools or restrictions. This will give creators a single place to manage their global commerce and digital catalogs across mobile, web, and PC, directly inside Unity.

Texas wants to “protect kids” by forcing every app store user to hand over an ID and verify their age. The CCIA just sued, calling it a First Amendment and privacy nightmare.

If you shoot a feature film on iPhone, is Apple entitled to some percentage of the revenue? They had to spend money on R&D to make good cameras, after all. That’s Apple’s argument for stealing 30% of third-party developers’ revenue: “We had to spend money making all the APIs, so you owe us.” The way I see it, those expenses are just like the expenses to keep improving the camera: Apple either spends that money to improve the platform or customers switch to the platforms that do. Why is it only app developers who have to fund Apple’s R&D? Why not filmmakers or musicians? Or anyone who uses Apple’s platforms to make money? It’s an incongruous stance. Apple should charge 5% to cover the costs of hosting the App Store and then make the rest of its billions by releasing great products, not taking rent from small developers.

🎉 To celebrate DGX Spark shipping worldwide starting Wednesday, our CEO Jensen Huang just hand-delivered some of the first units to @elonmusk, chief engineer at @SpaceX 🚀, today in Starbase, Texas. The exchange was a connection to the new desktop AI supercomputer’s origins -- the NVIDIA DGX-1 supercomputer -- as Musk was among the team that received the first DGX-1 from Huang in 2016. See our live blog for details, and on more early deliveries to developers, creators, researchers, universities, and more: 🔗 nvda.ws/4n3tafi #SparkSomethingBig
