I checked your post history out of curiosity if you are shill-bot. And while you apparently spend a non insignificant time writing about Bitcoin, you also wrote pretty smart things too and seem to be a decent person. You also seem engaged in tech and interested in doing good things with it.

Which confuses the fuck out of me how anyone like you could still argue in 2024 that Bitcoin is anything but a gigantic garbage fire. And not just Bitcoin. Pretty much all copycat crypto currencies it spawned.

Which is not to be confused with blockchain technology. That has some fringe use cases. It is a valid technology for certain databases in some pretty specific and relatively few instances. But except for very specific and seldom legal cases, the technology hsas pretty much proven it is noehere near a proper replacement for money in general.

So back to my point: How can someone who seems legitimately decent from most posts I saw, interested in technnology and most probably not having been hit on the head with a brick, write such a shill post with no particular purpose (at least from what I could gather)?

Obviously you don’t have to reply. I am fucking nobody, it’s your busniness and I am certainly not entitled into an answer. I am really just curious how after especially the last couple of years, after all the existences Bitcoin and it’s offspawns must have ruined, them not having provided any tangible benefits to humanity in the process, how can one still argue it could ever do anything good as a replacement for money. Bitcoins atrocious and devastating track record, I’d argue, tells you all you need to know. And crypto exchanges are just unregulated stock markets where you get scammed left and right.

Sorry for the rant, I expected a bot. Maybe you still are.

Or… A iKeyboard

I will see myself out

I advise you to seek help.

There is none I grew up with, so I can’t name a favorite either. Neither did we own the platforms most of the games released on. I only ever got into Star Trek later in life.

That’s irregular. Have it checked by a medical professional and get a second or third opinion if you already were at the doctor.

There is cases where the underlying reason can not be discovered. Those are usually harmless. Pretty much all cases where an underlying reason can be determined can be tested for and for almost all of them should get you medical treatment. They reach from not good to serious danger to your health.

This game was it’s year’s sleeper hit for me. It really is good, despite the story being a bit cheesy at times.

I actually didn’t think about it much, because I block all ads. But consumerism can be fun, I wouldn’t mind ads if I had a say in which I see.

Weird how neolibs are proponents of the free market all the time, but at the same time insist on shoving crap we don’t want down our throats. I like your suggestion.

There is no system of precedence for rulings of lower courts in Germany, technically not even for higher courts (albeit there de facto is). That’s something you could find in the U.S. though.

The lower court fucked up and it got overruled. The only thing Sony could have done would have been to bring similar cases to the same lower level court again and again and hope they make the same wrong decision over and over. That’s about the closest thing to precedence they could have relied on. It probably would have worked for Sony though.

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.

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.

Hold on there, voting conservatives into power is detrimental to the economy shocked Pikachu

Have you looked for help?

Hope you at least talk to someone about this. Ideally someone who is going to support you.

They just explained it to you if you cared to listen.

Throwing everyone in one bucket is a terrible idea.

I also hate the apartheid shit going in and around Israel as well es the war crimes commited by their government and military. At the same time I hate antisemitism equally as much.

The people who marched on this “protest” are just awful, hateful and terribly dumb people who deserve no support and all the criticism. But not everyone protesting because of the current situation with Israel is therefore automatically doing it for awful reasons.

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.

I’d like to thank you for providing context to reactivism based solely on an emotional reaction without doing any research first.

I am guilty of that as well, but you put effort in, explained things and that takes time. Thanks.

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.

For it to actually work you have to print “I dont concact too you’re TOS” on a shirt and wear it whenever you use their services. It also applies to going outside of course with regular businesses. Prints on hats are also okay, but you might forget your hat more easily or the CEOs of companies can’t read it properly when you use their services/enter their stores.
