I believe you are conflating patents with copyrights.

The CEO/founder was the operator.

I still don't think this is anything to celebrate though.

I never knew I wanted to see this.

My thing about them wanting ipo is that it makes no sense to me. I don't for a second believe it is a want for the good of the site. An ipo isn't gonna actually make them profit.

If they just wanted to make the company profitable, just do that and stay private.

Sure, they could be running out of burnable funds. That could be why they want the injection. But if there plan was to get profitable then do an ipo, why bother with step 2. Go straight to step 3, profit.

Be sure you keep using it. I only used mine for voicemail, and they finally decided they wanted the number back. I started to send a text every few weeks, but doesn't seem to have been enough for voice to just receive them.

To be fair, I did have the opportunity to claim the number again.

I find the Microsoft Chrome extra funny due to it being chromium based.

You may have been approved without getting an email. That is how it was for me.

To be fair, even though ads didn't make you want to buy anything, the tax write-off was the same.

I know it is unrelated, but when I saw that ship in the scene with the oil rig, I suddenly wanted a new ship simulation game.

This does look fun, I would like to try fighting fires.

I only played the first during my trial of gamepass. I enjoyed it, but it hasn't gotten a sale that made me jump on it.

I would think it is partly the hard deadline of api access being changed mixed with seeing other apps already announcing closing. I would think it is just a, "Well, will have to do it sometime and this is as good of a time as any."

Per speculation on my part though.
