It highkey kinda sucks tho, being implicitly all like "I I can'thave Apollo do Reddit than nobody can have it!". Its really childish and selfish in the way it fucks over almthe people who grew dependant on it for their Reddit-type social fix app

Maybe I’ve missed something but as far as I’m aware he hasn’t done anything to try and stop Voyager; he just didn’t give it a seal of approval.

As a practical matter, I wouldn't invest any time or money into the guy's projects anymore not because he doesn't do amazing UI/UX/App work, but because he is not someone is seems to plan long-term or is advised by anyone who could have told him this would be a problem legally or administratively etc.

I think he absolutely does plan ahead. The fact that he was able to absorb the expense of all the refunds he was forced to issue for subscriptions that extended beyond his ability to access the API speaks directly to that.

Not to mention his foresight in being able to bring receipts when Spez and the other Reddit admins attempted to smear him in the press.

I think you feel more strongly about it than I do, so I’m not trying to change your mind or anything. I’m just adding my perspective.

I know; I understand where he was coming from and kinda get it, but I’m not going to stop using it.

Oh Christian…when will you learn you’re not big enough to disrupt existing power structures?

You’re an Aaron Swartz; not a Sam Altman…

(P.S. Love what you do; Posted from Voyager née Apollo)

My dumb old Gen-X brain assumed they were using Latino non-gender-specifically, but then I saw this in the article, so I guess not?

Harris also has a lead among the state’s Latinas — 53 percent said they support the vice president and 37 percent declared for Trump.

With a 16 point lead with Latinas, I wonder what the Latinx gender breakdown is 🤔

Laughs in clamshell mode.

Wow - Those cubes became unclear a lot faster by Doing.

Clearly (heh 😅) Thinking is the better strategy…

Oh no - not dihydrogen monoxide

😱😱😱

You can’t really generalize. It matters as much as the person you’re talking to or about thinks it matters.

If they don’t care; fine. But most people want to be properly gendered.

In most discussions here it’s not really relevant or important but it’s simple enough to use gender neutral pronouns when someone’s gender is unknown

Our town only has two theaters and only this one has assigned seats. It’s only showing this, that Reagan movie and Beetlejuice. I couldn’t find any seats that had been sold…

However my wife and I went to see Deadpool a week or two ago and the theater was as full as I’ve seen a theater since Covid.

Not sure what my point is?

But, ‘Yes!’ Also ‘No!’…

In conclusion, ¯(ツ)_/¯

I think you still have to buy a specific seat if you buy at the theater otherwise it would break the system if anyone did buy an assigned seat after you.

I just checked the 9pm showing and it’s still showing an empty theater 3 min before start.

To be clear:
\ The ‘x’ seats are ‘taken’
\ The 🟦 seats are ‘available’

ETA As many have pointed out, since these same two seats are blocked for every showing, I believe it’s because they’re broken; not sold.

How long ‘til this becomes a GOP plank?

Here’s an Imgur upload which I should have done in the first place, but I didn’t know how bad lemmy would compress it:

Assuming VPs are are included you do have to go back to the 1976 election to find a Bush, Clinton, and Biden free ballot

• Jimmy Carter (1977–1981)
• Ronald Reagan (1981–1989) (George HW was VP )
• George H. W. Bush (1989–1993)
• Bill Clinton (1993–2001)
• George W. Bush (2001–2009)
• Barack Obama (2009–2017) (Joe was VP)
• Donald Trump (2017–2021) (Hillary was on the ballot)
• Joe Biden (2021–present)

So then you don't think I'm a troll?

You have a serious reading comprehension problem. It scares me that your paraeducator for kids.

I told you that the mods don't think I'm a troll

Ok? That’s what I said before you even joined the conversation. So did you think you were adding anything of value here?

And?

Once again you intentionally miss the point. It’s your core competency.

“If ‘ifs’ and ‘buts’ were candy and nuts, oh what a world it would be”

Doesn’t really change anything. Show up to the polls and vote.
