You can tell Elon is a genius because he gets people to pay to do prototype testing for him.

“Ho-Lee Jesus. What is that?
WHAT THE FUCK is that?
WHAT IS THAT PRIVATE VANCE!”

“Sir! A sofa cushion, sir!”

“A sofa cusion?”

“Sir! Yes, sir!”

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.

I did 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)

Laughs in clamshell mode.

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

Clearly (heh 😅) Thinking is the better strategy…

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

When Trump says “most people” he’s talking about himself.

“We’ve done the hard work of letting Dems do the hard work while we take credit for it.”

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:
