While I agree that he’s an idiot, I tend to think his disavowal has more to do with his malignant narcissism: he can’t accept being associated with people who others view as weak, and in his view taking a guilty plea means you’re weak.

Are you on iOS? I am and have different Focuses set up. One for work, one for home, one for the gym, etc. Each is geobounded and has its own background, apps, notification preferences, etc. I’ve found that with wefwef, since it is a web app, each focus winds up with its own instance. So I may update the instance of wefwef on the Work focus to .15, but when I switch to the Home focus that instance is still back at .14 and telling me that there is an update available.
