If one innocent person is tortured so that everyone else can live and the world doesn't end, is that simultaneously unfair but also morally preferable over complete destruction of everything?
Funny how those same people still expect others to put in the time and effort for that work, eh?
With how many comments I've seen saying that it doesn't take a lot to make an app, I'm shocked that there aren't more lemmy apps. Shocked I tell ya.
Imo when it comes to topics like that, people tend to be able to just brush it off as a silly internet thing.
A silly internet thing is not necessarily equivalent a toxic community. I'm good with annoying posts, but a lot of people are taking other people's personal decisions a little too personally. I find that behaviour more annoying than I ever found the bean posts, tbh.
Why would someone spend their free time somewhere that they feel brings bad aspects to their life? Why would someone want to deal with a lot of negativity over (let's be honest) pretty minor things? Of course some users will get put off by that. It's why some people left Reddit years ago.
If someone is against how a website operates, why would they continue to freely contribute things that would give profits to that website? People found out random specific information before reddit, and people will still be able to find that information after reddit.
Personally, I look at it as I'm grateful that people freely share such information in the first place. When information is this available to find (we have almost the entire internet's worth of resources), I'm not going to complain that I can't find it on one website.
Having attitudes like the one in this post can discourage people from sharing these things in the first place. No one wants to feel obligated to change their personal accounts to suit the liking of complete strangers, especially after they're ready to move on. No one will want to be helpful if it just leads to complaints and grievances. Life's just too short to deal with that noise, frankly.
Some of these posts are almost implying that an individual person providing valuable information for free for multiple years isn't enough anymore. It implies that your own morals and wants don't matter anymore, if someone else has to look a little longer to find something.
I'm sorry, I'm just sick of all the complaining and the expectations being placed on complete strangers to likely go against their own morals. Just use other websites, or create your own community. No one is beholden to go against their own morals just because it makes searching easier. That is not a great thing to expect of others.
Choice and variety are important. If you only have one option/style, it will only take that one option failing for it to ruin things for everyone. What if Google Play somehow blocks an attack that foss-downloader apps are exposed to? What if the opposite happened?
Also, not having choices means that the official "choice" being made might not always be to your liking.
The consumers of Canada will have a chance to review their products too to ensure they have had a perfect time for their own life and to make sure they have had a perfect time for them deal to make people feel better than they would have knocked out of the posts and they have had a perfect time for a very long run into the mix and the like for the use it as a base-line and the like for the use it is for the use it is for the use it as a base-line of a finite and I hope u stay in the past was the same password on the phone at the same password on the phone at the moment and it says it has to pay for things like your speed bump in it but it could be partially due for the use it as a base-line of a finite or the other hand that is expected to be honest and to make sure more is not the first place I want more than I see a guard to be the way to fail to see an angry dating service even though the online by the people who have worked on their craft for their whole life and thousands of dollars to get a lot of people don't struggle with basic troubleshooting and I miss the opportunity to learn about the lack of posts or effort to increase the community of people who might forget that they might still be around in the future.
Now that you mention it, yes. I used to be able to just swipe without any problems, but now I only type letter-by-letter when I'm texting someone from work.
Why, you may ask? My phone has this odd tendency to try and insult my boss/coworkers when I swipe text. I don't insult people in other places, but my phone seems very eagar to literally call them things like "wimp", "loser", "hoe", etc. I don't want to get written up, so every letter is now typed individually. I've had way too many close calls lmao
I have a coworker who types like this, they might have turned it off altogether
I was really craving pancakes with maple syrup, but I was at home without pancake mix or syrup, and everything was closed because it was 3am.
I might prefer potatoes, but you might hate potatoes.
If we were looking at dishes in a restaurant, I might think one dish is a better value, because I like potatoes. You might think that that dish isn't worth it if you hate potatoes. It doesn't mean that the dish is better or worse, just that we have different preferences.
I don't use sync myself, so I can't speak on what specific aspects other people prefer over the FOSS apps. They might trust the developer more because they've interacted with them for a while, they might like how the UI works with their specific device, or they might even just like the logo. At the end of the day, it doesn't effect me, as I can just keep using jerboa.
The only bugs I really encounter are the occasional crash when expanding comments on random oddly specific threads.
I'm actually kind of excited to see where all of these apps will be in another year or so. There's so much potential!
This recent trend of people telling other people to go back to reddit over (frankly minor) disagreements is ironically really reddit-esque behaviour, imo. That website was atrocious for gatekeeping behaviours.
"Our community is not like reddit!" Uh- huh. All of that stuff seems to be moving to lemmy, too.
Anyways, thank you for not randomly name calling like some other people are.
People can spend money on both, you know. There's no hard rule that they have to be mutually exclusive.
It's funny how NONE of these comments saying that the dev earned millions have a legitimate source. It's always just "pretty sure", "I assumed", "I figured" etc.
I wish we would all stop making things up and trying to use those same things as proof. Lol
I hope that the lame jokes that were recycled for well over a year stay there, though. Certain repeated jokes were becoming just as annoying as ads.
Those "jokes" actually caused me to start blocking people, and I'll do it again if I have to lol. It was like reading the same comment over and over again, which got pretty boring.
I left because of how reddit treated the 3rd part app Devs, suddenly forcing them to cancel subscriptions halfway through the year. (They could have given the Devs a heads up, but chose not to.) I left because of the libel that was being spread about a dev. For me, it wasn't that they wanted to charge money to use reddit, it's how they went about it that made me leave and not return.
Of course, they also forgot about blind people and moderating tools. They then kicked many mods for voicing their opinion and/or participating the blackout, even if the subreddit in question was in agreement with them.
I don't see Sync doing any of that, so please speak for yourself on why the migration happened.
I think my workplace had that until they realized that it also stopped management from being reachable. Fucking lol.
If people like something, they are always owed it, in it's fullest form, totally free of charge! Devs can just use a food bank .../s
Some of these comments though...
That would be a terrible reason to give them an easier time doing it.
There's no point in just giving up and taking away people's remaining chances to fight it, imo.
If true, I hope that they leave some of the goofy bugs and ai in the game. I think the weirdness of the interactions between NPCs is part of what made me love the game so much before.
O: "Heard any news from the other provinces?"
M: "Nothing I'd like to speak about."
O: "Good day."
M: "Go."
O: " heLLO! "
M: "Hi."
I also loved how the guards would try to attack through through space and time, with a lively "Beuaregeh!" as they hit absolutely nothing.
Other times, you'd see a guard kill someone, only for that same guard to go up to the body, gasp and shout "there's been a murder!".
I loved some of the messed up object physics too.
It's a fumbly one, eh?
I agree that in an existence with that decision on the line, we would have to question many things.
Does someone innocent have to die, or is someone lying about the rules of the decision to save themselves? Would people who expect to kill this person be willing to offer same thing themselves? If not, why can they really decide for someone else? Is the death actually necessary, and how? Will new religions form from this?
What happens if it fails? Will that person just be dead for no reason? Will their loved ones be cared for? Who would even qualify?
