No I’m saying that the execution has never been anywhere close to acceptable.

I have not given my opinion on the matter one way or the other because it’s irrelevant

Every time it’s being recommended it’s always falling apart because they can never actually come up with a safe ID verification system. It’s just idiot politicians who come up with these policies without thinking them through, don’t be praising that kind of lackluster thought process.

That is definitely not it. Looking at my bio which I wrote ages ago I’m actually kind of concerned I’m slightly doxing in myself the amount of information that’s in there.

The problem is that there is a social convention that men start the conversation, so a lot of women just aren’t very good at openings, so they say “hi” and then I’ve basically got to carry the conversation. So what’s the point in the app then? Even if they just opened with “sorry I’m not very good at this yet” it would be a start, but noooo.

That’s the premium feature in pretty much every dating app. You get to see who likes you but you have to pay the money to find out if anyone swiped on you at all.

They imply that lots of people swiped on you but you don’t actually know until after you’ve given the money.

So basically your plan is to just remove the con part which I’m all in favor of.

Not really because a lot of women just used to begin the conversation with “hi” which gave you nothing to work with. Especially when they had a basically empty bio.

So basically suffered from exactly the same problem that every other dating app suffered from which is that nobody really puts the effort in.

I think the point is the stock would actually go up if Musk buys it because people think he’s a great businessman, despite all the evidence to the country. So no need to short it, just sell at the peak and duck out before he manages to crash and burn. Again.

Given the amount of nonsense that was on tiktok they’ll probably be more informed now.

I used to work at the pub in England and the landlord used to write the insane reviews on the chalkboard.

Sure they pulled down your ratings but if you’re at 4.9 anyway it doesn’t really matter and it’s better to showcase the insane reviews than the actually legitimately negative ones.

The best one was the guy that tried to sue us because he was stung by a bee. Because apparently the bees work for us.

Get out the macro lens

In Trump hands they seem normal sized.

I believe it is called a classical education

What in china?

A better solution would just be to require them to have a decent (any) backup solution then they could just wipe the drives and carry on.

Well I mean obviously.

God, what an awful thought

No company ever sells games with the disclaimer that they might stop supporting those games at some arbitrary point in the future they sell the games with the understanding that you are purchasing a product that you will own after you give the company the required amount of money.

They are not selling you a limited term license, they are selling you a product. They should not be allowed to then change their minds after the fact without compensating the customer.

That’s the funny thing about all of this it wouldn’t cost the company a single penny. All they’d have to do is open source their code that’s it.

Even if you just looked at the screenshot it’s pretty clear that’s not what the petition is about. Could you go away and do literally one seconds worth of research, and then come back and explain why you made such a brainless comment.

One of the big problems about the original petition was that it had a focus on gaming. But this is a problem in the entire software industry, and as much as gaming is probably the more serious concern for the majority of people, it is considered by the government to be somewhat unimportant. Corporate software though has a more mature image, and so is more likely to be considered.

Any software that is sold by a company should be open sourced if the company chooses to end support. Either because the company goes out of business or because they just decide it’s no longer profitable to continue updating the software, and yes, this does include older versions of iOS.

A rising tide and all that.

Finally, it encourages people to do the minimum, because the alternative is to compete for bonuses that are only going to the people who meet the highest appearance of productivity metrics

Oh yeah they called them “STAR awards” or something to try and make it look like some great achievement.
