You can tell Elon is a genius because he gets people to pay to do prototype testing for him.
It highkey kinda sucks tho, being implicitly all like “I I can’thave Apollo do Reddit than nobody can have it!”. Its really childish and selfish in the way it fucks over almthe people who grew dependant on it for their Reddit-type social fix app
Maybe I’ve missed something but as far as I’m aware he hasn’t done anything to try and stop Voyager; he just didn’t give it a seal of approval.
As a practical matter, I wouldn’t invest any time or money into the guy’s projects anymore not because he doesn’t do amazing UI/UX/App work, but because he is not someone is seems to plan long-term or is advised by anyone who could have told him this would be a problem legally or administratively etc.
I think he absolutely does plan ahead. The fact that he was able to absorb the expense of all the refunds he was forced to issue for subscriptions that extended beyond his ability to access the API speaks directly to that.
Not to mention his foresight in being able to bring receipts when Spez and the other Reddit admins attempted to smear him in the press.
I think you feel more strongly about it than I do, so I’m not trying to change your mind or anything. I’m just adding my perspective.
I know; I understand where he was coming from and kinda get it, but I’m not going to stop using it.
Oh Christian…when will you learn you’re not big enough to disrupt existing power structures?
You’re an Aaron Swartz; not a Sam Altman…
(P.S. Love what you do; Posted from Voyager née Apollo)
Laughs in clamshell mode.
Wow - Those cubes became unclear a lot faster by Doing.
Clearly (heh 😅) Thinking is the better strategy…
You can’t really generalize. It matters as much as the person you’re talking to or about thinks it matters.
If they don’t care; fine. But most people want to be properly gendered.
In most discussions here it’s not really relevant or important but it’s simple enough to use gender neutral pronouns when someone’s gender is unknown
When Trump says “most people” he’s talking about himself.
Then you haven’t gained any information from the post which gets back to my original point.
Here’s an Imgur upload which I should have done in the first place, but I didn’t know how bad lemmy would compress it:
Assuming VPs are are included you do have to go back to the 1976 election to find a Bush, Clinton, and Biden free ballot
The thing is, from this post alone, I can’t even tell who it is so I could avoid them without clicking through to the video and generating engagement.
It’s easier to stay away from something you don’t know exists. That’s like saying “Taste this! It’s awful!”
This is only going to drive more traffic to the video
Thanks - that’s a nice workaround. Completely forgot you could add shortcuts to the share sheet.
So why are you promoting it?
I fear Lemmy has destroyed it in recompression
“If you defy a congressional subpoena, you will be held accountable, no matter who you are or how well-connected you may be,” Sanders said.
The article doesn’t really go into how he’s being held accountable. Finger wagging? Fines? Jail time?
