This should stop every parent in their tracks.
In 1994 Japan ended all mandatory vaccines for babies under two years old.
The outcome? Japan now has one of the lowest infant mortality rates on the planet.
America? Highest infant mortality of all industrialized nations.
My attempt to protect users from scam apps on the @AppStore has gotten my Apple Developer account flagged for termination - ironically, for "dishonest activity".
Unless it's reversed by June 30, all new installs of Sparrow Wallet will fail, and development on macOS will end.
The context: since 2023, more than a dozen fake "Sparrow" apps have appeared on the App Store, as recently as April this year. Users have contacted me after losing their savings, in some cases their life savings, to these impersonators.
I'm the developer of the real Sparrow Wallet, a desktop app, and I hold the registered US trademarks for the name and logo. I have publicly warned @Apple and the community about these fake apps from early 2024, but they keep appearing.
The app @Apple flagged was a placeholder that was never published. Its only purpose was to warn users that Sparrow is desktop-only and that other "Sparrow" apps aren't mine. This approach may have been misguided, but there was nothing dishonest about it.
I'm confident this is an automated misclassification that Apple would reverse on review - but I may be terminated before a human ever looks at my appeal. The cost would fall on @Apple's own users: blocked installs and no updates for a tool people rely on, which opens the door for more fakes.
If you value Sparrow, a repost would help. @AppleSupport

@Homeschool_LLC@PragmaticNurse Calling it capitulation misses the point. If the system leaves no room for homeschooling, walking away can be an act of principle, not surrender

Ah, but remember, they live in a “full democracy” and we live in a “dictatorship”.
I’m sure the people who make the freedom and democracy indexes will be updating them immediately.
Every since Luke (said he) lost all his bitcoin he has been completely unhinged, and/or compromised. He reportedly sought help from the FBI for this (and another bitcoin related hack). Now he is trying to FORCE a consensus level change into Bitcoin...
Paraguay offered the Mennonites something rare: land, autonomy, and the promise that nobody would bother them.
They took a wasteland and turned it into one of the most productive agricultural regions in South America.
The deal was simple. Leave us alone, and we'll build.
