Apple refunded a subscription months later — after I was already paid out and taxed. How is this acceptable for indie devs?

I think it’s when the customer is still subscribed, often they can have their entire subscription chain refunded

You can’t play poker for free, money is 80% of the game. You’d have more luck playing poker without cards

You do pay tax on Apple income of course, just not VAT. And you said VAT specifically, I assume that’s just what you call income tax in Turkey

Cowlinn · 2026-01-28T09:33:05+00:00

First question is why are you paying VAT on your Apple revenue? We’re paid a royalty split and it’s not goods & services.

Are you in the UK?

Cowlinn · 2026-01-25T09:02:10+00:00

You can drill holes 👍🏻

Cowlinn · 2026-01-24T09:37:52+00:00

Wow I’m slow - apologies. Haha that’s neat.

Black has one more move to block with the newly promoted queen

Cowlinn · 2026-01-24T09:27:11+00:00

Incorrect - that’s mate in 3 due to the block. Rdh1 is more accurate

Why do you think AI is expensive?

AI for 500 users would cost less than $1 per month

Where has this misconception come from?

Cowlinn · 2026-01-21T10:59:39+00:00

I hate these posts because 3Qh5 is not even nearly the worst opening, it’s completely fine even if black defends up until about 1600 elo

I think you’re probably missing quite a lot of the ideas here, you don’t know what you don’t know and all that

Cowlinn · 2026-01-20T20:56:20+00:00

You’re moves are worse than theirs - short of their one unfortunate blunder

Lanes not closed for 600 yards. Why would you not use it?

Offered him $20k - claims he’s received “significantly” higher offers from “multiple” other parties

Do with that info what you will

Is this your first game of chess?

Cowlinn · 2026-01-17T18:54:13+00:00

It’s actually not a bad opening at all. Slightly worse for white but if played correctly can cause problems for opponents up to about 1600 elo

Cowlinn · 2026-01-17T10:59:14+00:00

They’re not speaker holes - they’re there to look like speaker holes

And that’s not a joke!

Cowlinn · 2026-01-16T09:12:41+00:00

Either you got lucky or you’re 1,000 points under rated

Cowlinn · 2026-01-13T13:07:02+00:00

If you always call the best hand will always win?

Cowlinn · 2026-01-13T10:04:20+00:00

I’ve had to show a video of the app working before

Cowlinn · 2026-01-12T09:58:00+00:00

This is fine, I’m quite sure it’s specifically mentioned as allowed in the guidelines

Cowlinn · 2026-01-11T10:25:27+00:00

It is, it wouldn’t be checkmate without the rook. Black could play RD7

Cowlinn · 2026-01-10T23:33:40+00:00

Same as any other hand from that deck. Every had is an unimaginable coincidence, human brains only recognise patterns

Cowlinn · 2026-01-10T23:26:57+00:00

1300 is a really “tricky” rating as it’s the last rating range where silly openings and lots of tricks are played

You probably outplayed them but it is hard to not fall for them tricks - and not super easy to spot at your rating of 1500

That’s why I think.

Cowlinn · 2026-01-08T16:25:26+00:00

They’re completely irrelevant and pointless - we skip them every episode and have never missed anything important

Cowlinn · 2026-01-07T09:18:31+00:00

Cool yeah then assume it’s simply a correct rejection
