generally speaking i tend to believe people when they talk about abuse in the workplace especially when it’s a woman talking about the abuse she has suffered in a boys club workplace

you do you though. everyone’s free to believe who and what they want

i used to love posting on DTG but it’s probably one of the most toxic communities on the internet, full stop

the dictionary definition of evil is “morally reprehensible”. you don’t need to overreact by going straight to a godwin

ruining a prototype product, talking shit about it, and then selling it is a lot worse than being “just an ass”

idk if i agree with this. apple replaced the 30-pin connector w/ lightning in 2012, when the only other mainstream option would have been micro-usb cables which sucked ass then and suck ass now. lightning was great at the time not just because it was smaller than the 30-pin but also it was symmetrical compared to micro-usb

the first usb-c compatible smartphones didn’t start arriving until like 3 years after that, by which point there were already hundreds of millions of lightning-compatible devices and an entire ecosystem existing in the wild.

standards are great. pissing off your consumers again only a few years after a major transition, maybe not so much. but now after 11 years of lightning and 5+ years of usb-c being commonplace the bandaid is a lot easier to rip off

wasn’t true when lightning was introduced. maybe true now

oh same, if i go half a mile down the road to the next housing development they have cable, fiber, dsl, the works at prices equivalent to or less than what i’m paying for the fixed beam wireless connection.

utterly insane

yeah, i thought about it for a while. ultimately it’s so rarely an issue that i decided not to pursue it, but it’s funny nonetheless
