    What? Since when does Valve prohibit companies from redirecting customers to non-Valve purchasing flows? Because that’s what this ruling is about, it says Apple can’t prohibit apps from telling users to go buy off-platform for lower prices. Valve isn’t doing that with Steam afaik, actually I’m not aware of any other platform that does this

    not a capitalism problem per se, more like an government problem

    That’s like saying “bleeding is not a stabbing problem per se, more like a bandages problem”

    Like, yeah, keeping a stockpile of bandages is probably a good idea just in case, but maybe we should prevent people from stabbing each other in the first place?








  • I suspect the reasoning for it was more along the lines of “if you’re pasting the password, that means you probably saved it in a text file on your desktop or something, and you shouldn’t do that so let’s stop you from doing it”. In reality, it probably didn’t work to make anyone store passwords more securely, and only made life unnecessarily harder for people with password managers


  • Why not simply say donation

    It’s about setting expectations. The wording is chosen because they believe that paying open source developers for their work should be the norm, not the exception. Calling it a donation would not do that justice. Their wording is saying “Here’s the software, we’ll trust you to pay us for it if it brings you value and you can afford it”. It’s an explicit expectation to pay, unless you have good reasons not to, which is also fine but should be the exception. Whereas a donation is very much optional and not the default expectation by nature.

    In the end it’s just a semantic difference, it’s just all about making expectations clear even if there is no enforcement around them.

    I agree that this way of displaying the data is appropriate, but it would be nice to have a very visible indicator of this. Some kind of highlighted “fold” line or something at the very bottom of the chart, maybe. If I can deduce the units from context, and the trend is more interesting than absolute numbers, then I’m not going to look at the axes most of the time




  • it means you’re getting fucked by them and not in a good way

    So anal sex is a not-good way to have sex? Yeah sorry but that does sound pretty homophobic to me.

    without lube

    Ah, well that changes things. Anal without lube is a pretty universally bad experience, so sure, use that. But just framing being the receiving end of anal as bad without further context, we can do better than that, that’s all im saying
