Just because you opted in, doesn’t make their statement untrue.

The simplicity of use in the walled garden, caters to people who aren’t techy. It’s a huge reason for their success.

But just like “nontechy” people like my husband can use an android, “techy” people can opt into a system that caters to the opposite.

A better solution might be to just state your preferred genitalia.

Sounds crass but a “strictly dickly” announces the preference without the inherent negative connotations of “no trans please”

My husband had a nasty cold and the self scan he was using we later found out should have had an out of order sign on it. After missing the fact that it wasn’t dinging for every item because he couldn’t hear well, they pulled him and had him arrested. His total was off by $100 and he should’ve realized it, admittedly, but he just wanted to get home. We were able to get them to drop the charges because the self check out was malfunctioning but he’s still banned from Walmart.

If you make a product and want to claim that it or its ingredients are organic, your final product probably needs to be certified.

That word probably exists in the same article you originally linked.

But many actually don’t do it which is why they don’t use the USDA certified

Do you know how many companies use just organic, and not “usda certified organic”

Most

No company holds themselves back from viable improvement because of a timeline thrown out at the beginning. What a weird take.

What is more likely “nope wecan’t make a change yet, this better product is out on every other peice of tech we and our competitors used, but someone said 10 years 2 years ago so we’re gonna wait another 6 to begin development”

Or

“This product is so serviceable enough for charging a phone and as long as we keep it we can continue to make significant money off of proprietary connectors”

They upgraded the iPad because the lightening was no longer a viable charging cable, the tech couldn’t keep up. And the EU has been threatening to establish a standard since the 30pin was in service, because it locked out competition back then. It became a serious issue to deal with after dongles became standard.

Edit: Oh God it’s you. 4 days later and another hot shit take. Apparently I need to block you to improve my lemmy experience.

Every person who goes by an American name because their real name is just to hard for their American friends, Co workers and neighbors to pronounce. Pretty much everyone in the US who says Cordon blue, Ganache, bolognese, prosciutto, Bon Marché, Coq au Vin, Verde, the name Guy, and dozens of other things I can name off the top of my head.

And this is what it is for me.

The customization on sync gets me so damn close to what I had with relay that I’m just happy.

I used others, but they were heavily inspired by Apollo and the customization to make them closer to my muscle memory wasn’t there. I’m happy to pay a talented developer who can give me my preferred experience.

And I really don’t get this raging choosing beggar entitlement to people labor for free

Oh the horror, bad American for wanting to support a developer as they launch a new product that is built on the premise of one they used and loved for years.

Instead of supporting a Dev who’s proved themselves, we should harbor deep skepticism and try to skate by on a free product for as long as possible because that $5 is really, really, super, duper gonna break the bank if the app isn’t absolutely everything I want it to be.

The 80s will always be 20 years ago. Y2k was ten years ago, the 2010s didn’t happen and we’re both old.
