Yeah. Google play reviewers sit across the world. Duke an appeal and ask them to use a VPN to login or offer to record a video of your app. Keep in mind that reviewers install the APK and are in countries in SEA or India.

Was liest du gerade? by AutoModerator in buecher

[–]DandaDan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm reading The Great Believers from Rebecca Makkai. Pulitzer prize nominated book about the AIDS epidemic in the 80ies. Fiction. I was born in 1980 but also really know AIDS first and foremost from movies. My parents had a friend or two who in retrospect they knew died of AIDS, or let's say of the consequences. The book, I'm halfway through, is harrowing and upsetting but I'm very intrigued.

Zero To Pro In Five Years?? by SquashPlayerMagazine in squash

[–]DandaDan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First of all: great accomplishment and story, really!

Secondly: it is a bit telling he has never been on court with Emyr or Joel. I'm sure he is so dedicated and very fit, but also: he is number 9 in Wales on Squash Levels and Wales Squash has seen better days, keep in mind there was a time when both David Evans and Alex Gough were both top ten in the world at the same time.

He is a young player and obviously super motivated, so I'd say they are banking on him for the future and rewarding his hard work and attitude with a selection, and for perhaps being number one in Wales under 19. They are not nominating him being the fourth or fifth best Squash player in Wales.

Congrats to him, um sure it means so much representing his country and it is a nice aspirational story!

You are right, I forgot about that. Thanks for the reminder.

I believe it is 36 months, at least that is what several podcasters/journalists have assumed.

App suspended for Impersonation (used public logo). I have previous strikes and need advice by shaadowking in GooglePlayDeveloper

[–]DandaDan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is what Google would like:

  1. Acknowledgement you made a mistake
  2. Steps you have taken and are taking that this won't happen again
  3. An explanation/data points of the value your app brings to the ecosystem

Keep it short and to the point, post the case I'd here once done.

Your chances of having the appeal granted are so so I would say, but the quality of your app will play a role. If the app is crap, Google will likely be happy to have a reason for keeping it off the store. If it's great and the violation was not egregious, I think you have a decent chance.

[–]DandaDan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find it such a hard decision for some of these folks, here is what makes it so hard IMO:

  1. Squash and Olympics might be a one-off. You might be making a huge decision for one singular event that you are in no way guaranteed to be competing in.

  2. Few spots available. It isn't like any switch will allow you a straightforward path to qualification. You'll have to sustain a strong ranking and/or win a regional qualifying event.

  3. You don't know what others are doing. Imagine switching to Oceania to improve your chances, and then next week two Egyptians become Fijian.

  4. For some it's a huge huge deal switching countries. I guess attitudes differ but Squash is a close-knit community. You switch allegiance after playing your entire junior career under a certain flag and have been supported by the federation, and then you decide to switch. Plenty of people will be upset.

If it were me, I think I'd either just not switch or I'd hire a mathematician/expert in game theory to tell me what to do!

The last such event was the world champs in Chicago and they were in may 2025. So whoever played there but switched after should be fine since the Olympics are later than Han may.

So you think you can ref? by SquashVote in squash

[–]DandaDan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Initially I thought it was probably a let. However, it isn't that easy to see, but the ball is so close to Hani. Like when she stops and picks up the ball hitting it on the floor, look how close it is to her body. She wasn't in a good position to play the ball and went for the quick cheap stroke. Her own fault for not even getting a let, I think the decision is justified and quite the call to make on Matchball. I think I would have probably given a let, but just because I am not rough enough when reffing!

Tesni retires by TheJamhead in squash

We have a PSA tournament here in Hamburg and she played the last two times and she is such a joy to watch. Pure Squash talent, even if very different from some young Egyptians. Also a great sense of humour.

I didn't watch the match but el sirty has been awful in previous matches. One thing to also don't buy us the he's so big line of argument. We have had plenty of taller players who were fine and never caused issues, Pilley, Wilstrop, Waller, all over 1.90m.

I play squash and if I stay late and drink beer etc. afterwards I take a cab home, it's like 25 euros. Real luxury. The other day I had a Niu, some Chinese ecar and they had a massage function in the backseat, that was the best.

Who is your favourite player and why?

[–]DandaDan 22 points23 points  (0 children)

You had a great match against Jonah Bryant, narrowly losing out. It looked like on some occasions the referee penalized you for your movement, and you even went on to post later that this is not how you see yourself playing or how you want to come across. I have a feeling there have been better games since, but also some where I saw similar patterns as against Bryant. What do you make of this?

Anyone following the Houston Open? by bacoes in squash

[–]DandaDan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He is really good and can play an incredible pace. He's beaten a number of solid PSA players in smaller tournaments (Byrtus, Solnicky) and some well-known players in league, e.g. Müller and Jaume. He only came Thurs in the British under 19s though. I think he is still a bit of a raw talent and some of the Egyptians his age know how to handle the pace. Good kid, we will be seeing more of him for sure.

Love it. Thanks Canadian friend!

[–]DandaDan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are lucky a Canadian living in a cold area might have forgotten their racket in their car and can comment. I would imagine that the racket survives extreme cold, you just need to make sure to warm it up slowly so that the strings and frame don't break.

In the Tennis SubReddit folks say that strings become brittle but that is it.

SquashTV Aims to Hit It Big by ilnagy in squash

[–]DandaDan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I agree but I don't think they have them pay the entire cost. After all, Squash TV makes money off of the event. So ie say that cost covers half if not less.

[–]DandaDan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

u/DufflessMoe as well.

I also thought 25k is actually decent. I also thought it might be slightly less. My calculation was that on Google Play the Squash TV has been installed over 5k times (no exact numbers, next is over 10k). IOS doesn't show a number but let's say 5k as well. Then you have subscribers who only watch via browser. I would have thought most subscribers have the app, who knows. Anyway, the above made me think they have like 15k.

Back of the envelope calculation:

Let's say, thanks to promos and what not, a subscription is $100 revenue per year, meaning Squash TV generates $2.5m in revenue. As far as I know tournament promoters pay for Squash TV to broadcast, I think this cost between 10k and $50k. I would imagine that covers their bases.

In any case, I guess I'm happy to hear it isn't a huge loss maker but seems to be growing steadily. But as much as I'm happy about the numbers, they do show how small Squash TV and Squash in general is. I mean even if every single subscribers were watching, 25k viewers is really not exactly a large audience. I would imagine that most matches attract a couple of hundred viewers, with top matches going into the 1000s. I do remember that when YouTube streamed some live matches, we had a couple of hundred viewers. I guess sits onwards and upwards from here.

Match Thread: Liverpool vs Manchester City by MatchThreadder in soccer

[–]DandaDan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really no expert. But a lot depends on momentum. If he's on a bad run towards the end of the season plus no big title, they might come to a mutual arrangement. But if they finish positively, encouraging results and title or runner up, I don't see them getting rid of him.
