It’s sort of frustrating to me when someone says they liked something and immediately someone just says “blah person involved is an abuser.” It feels so smug.

I’m not saying they shouldn’t face consequences, I’m saying we shouldn’t view it as a dirty trick.

Same way Trump showed pictures of unrest during 2020 and called it Biden’s America lol.

My point is that if someone offers you a good price for what you believe you have have, you take it. If they thought it was good and they got a good price for it they’d take it. If they thought it was bad and they got a good price for it they’d take it.

Specifically because Apple is engaging in anti competitive and anti consumer practices (your words) I have a very difficult time seeing this action as “dirty.” Companies will do what companies do and pursue money, but if their pursuit of money coincidentally happens to fight for consumer rights then I don’t think we should say it’s dirty.

Sort of like “if you don’t have your own, store bought is fine” lol

Apart from the philosophical aspect which is unanswerable, I feel certain we see equivalent colors. This is an interesting article about it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIE_1931_color_space Scientists found what the three primary colors our eyes see are. Because of the overlap in cone activation they’re actually imaginary colors that don’t exist.

They agreed to a contract, they didn’t like it, so they chose to break it.

What was the contract?

Stop, I’ve got insomnia and don’t wanna get too excited 🤤

Even Flow is such a banger. It’s my go to karaoke song. Never fails to get a huge response from the crowd.

If the price offered is actually a good price then I think they might have some obligation to shareholders to pursue it. (Many of the people making that decision likely also being shareholders.) Like if someone offered you more than what your stuff is worth but tried to changed their mind, wouldn’t you pursue that? I don’t think that’s any sort of indicator that they thought it was a sinking ship. It’s just in their best interest to take a good deal when they get one.

Lemmit bot was one of the first things I blocked. Idk if it’s still around. It would copy like every post and comment from Reddit lol. It clogged my feed so bad. If it’s still a thing, block it, you’ll be glad you did.

It’s a lot better than August 2023!

If all mods quit that’d be perfect. Reddit has shown they’ll replace mods when they actually need to (or want to). But if no regular users wanted to pick it up then they’d have to pay admins to moderate. I don’t think we’ll see it though. There’s always going to be someone who wants it enough who has enough time for whatever reason.

I have made like, idk, maybe three reddit posts in the past year. Apart from incredibly specific niche topics which don’t have enough folks here to get a good answer, I don’t use Reddit.

Public modlogs and federation help fight this.

My wife wrote a book and brought copies to sell. Someone asked her if she brought ones to sell and my wife said yes. Later when we meet with her she’s like “you’re sure I can have this?” My wife says something like “yeah I brought enough” and then she never paid lol. Even worse, the next day she wasn’t randomly holding a $20 bill and put it away. Either she’s the most rude and insanely conniving person ever or our life was a sitcom because wtf. There’s more context but I don’t wanna yap too long. My wife almost even took the money out of her hand thinking she just didn’t have cash the night before.

All that said, you deserve to get paid for your work!
