  • A similar phenomenon is knowing you're going to need to go back and update some older section of code and when you finally get around to it, it turns out you wrote it that way to begin with. It's like... I didn't think I knew about this approach before...

  • Yeah but it's not some big mystery why Margaritaville sucks. The lyrics are asinine and empty. What's worse: it's catchy.

  • Plus, it's a model made before catalytic converters so it runs good on regular gas.

  • if he has any brains at all.

    Important caveat. We may hear a lot from him after all!

  • mark hamill's joker after dental anesthesia

    Wow, is that ever accurate.

    they should play his speeches on speakers mounted to the underside of cargo ships to repel whales

    You should consider a career in comedy.

  • I think it was an issue where the CSAM was being copied to servers via normal federation with the instance(s) being spammed.

  • Softly. With their words.

  • Yeah that's how I feel about ads targeting children (even when the products are intended for children): they are not yet equipped to look at the ads critically and recognize when they're being manipulated.

  • Yes! I remember when they first introduced it and I had to make sure I wasn't hallucinating that the cursor was blowing up.

  • You must mean plane-et.

  • Katamari Damacy is the first one.

  • Oh man that's... Well done, well done!

  • Points for "sassy robot." But you could have described it worse. This was the first one I could identify.

  • Or just adb (for deleting bloatware).

  • And I only subscribed because the one-time purchase was not available at that moment, so I assumed no such option existed. But honestly, I'll continue to pay the subscription. It's still less than a year's worth of my monthly donations to the developer of Tasker.

  • Ain't that the truth. People act like charging for software is evil no matter what. There's a huge difference between a lone dev trying to earn a living and a huge corporation trying to wring every last ounce of profit out of their users. And there's probably degrees of nuance between those.

    Especially if they seem like a reasonable person, wanting reasonable amounts for good work.

    And that's the important context in this discussion. You've got a dev who's active in the community and who builds an app not only with great features and UI but with stability too. And he has a not insignificant user base that is familiar not just with his work but essentially with this exact app... It's reasonable for him to assume we'll see the value and be willing to pay. And he is correct.

    I'm personally averse to subscription models, but again context matters. Reasonable rate and you know what you're getting. And I say this as a huge fan of both FOSS and socialism. I could have easily just let my DNS continue to filter out the ads, but I appreciate quality and believe it should be appropriately compensated.

  • 14 years myself. More than a third of my life. Your bad relationship analogy is a pretty good one (the analogy, that is). I was in a real life one of those about the same time I joined reddit. Glad that one didn't last nearly as long!

  • There's also the fact that there isn't an algorithm trying to keep you doomscrolling by promoting commercial content.
