Where is the overleveraging now?

Out of curiosity, what don’t they understand about advertisers?

Paying for a VRChat+ subscription comes with an increased trust level, so possibly that.

Again, you have no idea what you’re talking about. You keep referencing talking points from ahistorical views of two societies as though they represent the entire world. I suppose …

So these are typically not conversations that queer people have outside of queer circles, because people like you cannot be trusted to engage in good faith or in a way that respect…

The words themselves are modern inventions, reflecting the western medicalization of the concepts, which in turn reflected bigotry — declaring something an “illness” is a great way…

Something like less than 1% of trans people regret transition, and of those half of them regret it because of social costs, i.e., bigotry from transphobes, and another big chunk re…

No. Don’t claim to speak for lesbians when there are actual lesbians here. (Hi! You don’t know what you’re talking about.) This is the propaganda bigoted lesbians spread in order t…

You have no idea what you’re talking about. “Gender critical” people (they are not feminists) regularly harass trans people, including kids, to the point of suicide. They lobby for…

Holy sh*t there’s a movie?? Thank you for making my day!

I bet you will. Try to be kind to yourself as it happens. My experience is that it can be very painful — like when your leg falls asleep and then you suddenly get circulation back,…

Reminds me of Terry Pratchett’s Going Postal. spoiler warning The MC is a conman, given new life and a job resuscitating the postal service after a corporation has taken over and g…

I’m curious about why you talk about Apple as though it’s a monolithic entity making coherent decisions. Tim Cook doesn’t need to have signed off on his himself as part of a grand …

Fuck I hope not. I just googled the CWD occurrence map in the US. It’s...very scary.

This is great, but it makes me so nostalgic for the old web.

I think RileyJames’ comment provided a clear and realistic hypothesis of how Apple might come to abuse its monopoly power in this way without the sort of reasoning you assume, but …

Yeah I think this is how things often happen. Just people being people, and using the tools available to them to get what they want. It’s the monopoly power behind it that makes it…

Did you read the article? The claim is that Apple delayed and denied app approval while trying to acquire the app, while approving the scam apps and approving other apps that incor…

Of note is the claim that Apple deliberately sabotaged his app as a negotiation tactic for the purposes of acquisition. IANAL, but this seems bad. Even if it’s legally permissible,…

What do you use to strip the DRM from kindle books?

Isnt that also just not how the Pareto principle works? Doesn’t it say that 20% of inputs (people accused of fraud) are responsible for 80% of outputs (cases of fraud)? So this is …

You are assuming he will go to the trouble of reading these texts because somehow being given textbooks about how to work with other people is less patronizing? As gently as I can,…

So wait — you were banned by Google, then years later banned by Facebook before even trying to run ads? That almost sounds like they’re sharing ban lists
