You can’t hold a firm grasp on reality if it is distorted by your massive narcissism already. He thinks anyone but the bags of shit still on his platform care.
Twitter never actually mattered and nothing of value will be lost. He can pound sand.
Just for your information: I only dabble in tech as a hobby and am by all accounts an utter noob.
But you can find these things out with a simple search in under a minute. That is the akward reality about you being downvoted. Not that a gazillion downvotes would matter on lemmy ever anyway.
You are correct. It would explain the issue and I too know for a fact that this is a problem of the internet these days.
It sounds counterintuitive, but website and shop sites also run on what are basically oligopolies or monopolies on the software side. Rarely someone builds a site from the ground up for all the reasons. At the same time it is a huge problem the software most sites run on is in the hands of relatively few (and one the rest of the internet has as well). Most people are just not aware of this.
No idea who or why anyone would downvote you.
Some companies like amazon intentionally do this for the exact reason to scare people and hope they forget to cancel.
Subscriptions as a system are fine, why and how you implement them tells you a lot about the company you are dealing with.
BUT: As mentioned in other posts, it might just be a technical issue due to bad software design/choice OR it might be a setting you can pick as the owner of the patreon, because for some types of patreons it would make a difference if it ends immediately or at the end of the period OR bad wording. Not pitchfork time quite yet.
Please keep us updated, OP.
And this setup would make sense with other types of patreons.
If that is true I’d point your issue out to the dev you support in privat and ask them if they think it is needed, since it only seems to inconvenience his supporters, might make them angry at patreon and him and can’t help the dev if they think he does it just to annoy them.
I didn’t know this either till today, thanks.
You seem like good people. I hope you have a nice and relaxing weekend.
You are getting mad at an internet post by a random person who has exactly zero credibility to begin with. I sourced nothing, I claimed nothing, I didn’t even pretend that any opinion I hold is of value. As much as I am for calling out shit and as much as I applaud you doing that if for no other reason than out of principle, why? Why don’t you use your brain against someone actually doing harm and argue with a shitpost done by a shitposter on a platform that is mostly about shitposting instead?
All of that pointless stuff aside: Legal ≠ Right I hope you will agree with me on that. We’d like to pretend the rules we make up are just. We’d especially like to believe that if they are democratically legitimated someway or another, they must be morally okay. That is not the case. It never was and never will be. If you base your whole stance on something being legal, then that’s a huge issue in and of itself.
At this point in history money is power is law. If you are rich enough, you have to be the utmost incompetent idiot around to do something blatantly illegal and get in trouble for it. I for one don’t think this is the way. So maybe a bit more anarchy from time to time would serve us all well to balance out rich people’s crap.
Also: It’s a shitpost. A freaking shitpost. Vote it down and move on. I’d do the same if I didn’t think it would be worth engaging with you.
I am sorry Charles, I am afraid I can’t do that.
(Cute cat btw)
And jail time as well as taking their personal wealth. Or throw them in the middle of the Atlantic, both options are valid.
I am not asking for much. Just break up Google and throw both the big shareholders as well as the executives in jail for the rest of their lifes. If you go as far and decide to take all their money and spend it on social services, healthcare and education for the general public, I wouldn’t be mad.
Your comment is the most interesting one in this whole thread, in a positive way.
HR person here that sometimes has helpdesk positions to fill as well. Absolutely appropriate. Like others already said, you are better dressed than most people we interview for such positions.
Piece of advice if you don’t usually dress like that: Wear those clothes for a half a day going grocery shopping and doing regular daily shit. Helps make you feel more comfortable in them. Just give them a check up to see if they got dirty afterwards.
On a personal note, great choice of colours too. Best of luck to you!
It is a legit question. Usually you don’t have to pro-actively inform anyone that you disagree with anything, TOS included. That’s just what companies want you to believe since it benefits them greatly.
No idea though how things in the U.S. are handled and if there are differences in certain states. It would surprise me though if that was actually an enforcable legal principle.
