Yes but also markets in general, because why not?

No no, if they could hire you for that you'd be marketable, but if you actively liked the product and kept talking them up only to make them uncool and refused being paid to or paid to stop, maybe? 🤔

I would think like however ungovernable is meant but directed toward businesses and markets.

I guess that may look like disregard for contracts, refusing to sell to businesses, applying for jobs only to string businesses along or ghost them like they have so many, or things like this?

Asking to see how people interpret and run with the idea, what they consider unmarketable and the ways to achieve it

As in you can't market it because it wouldn't sell regardless of how you may try.

May be too specific but have been inconsistently trying to get !likethismaylike@lemm.ee going as a community to find alternatives/similar stuff to what one likes.

It's a riff on the old ifyoulikeblank subreddit without the initially unclear tagging requirements.

People comment, which is great, but few other posters.

isn't space just like, an inverse ocean?

Speaking of brotymology, what's a gender neutral version of bro/man?

Mentioning @Diddlydee@feddit.uk here to address you both in your similar corrections rather than duplicate my reply: I stand corrected.

I see that I had misconstrued my personal misgivings with the penalties of failing to pay with a lack of legal ownership.

It still feels off, precarious, to describe it as ownership to me, but I recognize what you're both saying regarding the legal standing of it all.

hello frog, that is sad to hear, have you tried calling doompost?

(how is there no !doompost??)

Own as in mortgages/loans paid off, I take it? That's the slight distinction I'm thinking of with expensive items that typically can't be bought outright. It's not wholly owned until mortgage/loan is paid off, which you kinda nod towards with your last sentence.

In the vein of houses and cars, yeah. I should get in a better habit of elaborating on ambiguous terms in the body, only haven't as I've mixed experience with people skipping over those.

How does one account for maintenance costs with this view? Even barring taxes, you may have to pay for upkeep either in materials or contracting out services to assist in maintenance.

Thanks for this info! I was unaware of this given how rarely it's mentioned.

Perhaps malleerphobia? Or if being formal-ish, anaspectaphobia?

As in put into regular use and understood in all the various ways they may come to be understood. As compared to a word that one makes up in private that only they understand and may never pass from them into use by anyone else, particularly with their personal understanding/meaning.

However this is meant as a fun question, so you may answer with your ideal conditions in mind. The question is meant to provide a starting point, not set any strict bounds or punitive conditions.

On further thought, adding a couple words to the already kinda long question wasn't too much. I adjusted it to better ask what I had in mind, which was what invented words would you make and have instantly adopted.

That's what I was thinking might be the case for players, alongside the fun/new factors Jordan mentions. Thanks for the reply!

You might try cross-posting to !ask_experienced_devs@programming.dev for more advice.

Could be (at least fediverse style), but not sure who/what to follow or how to filter out what I mentioned.

Stuff as in anything, intentionally broad there.

Non-commercial is harder to nail down, but by and large I mean not-for-profit, sort of casual hobbyist activity with zero interest in trying to turn it into a business/side-hustle. People discussing/sharing their original stuff simply for its own sake.

Not fan work, coverage of commercial works, etc. Nothing against that stuff, it's just easily found and readily available.
