When you like something and want it to succeed, it’s discouraging to see that thing waste its resources. Especially if you contributed those resources.

I never understood how this very simple position flies over certain heads.


It sounds like the issue is that you see your payment as a donation, and don't believe the service in and of itself is worth what you pay?


Sort of? You want the thing to exist long-term, so if they're using my monthly payment on bad business decisions then yeah I care because then it won't exist anymore, and I could have spent that money on a more responsible company in the meantime.


There’s a difference between disagreeing with a marketing stunt, and saying "I stopped using them because of that". But I guess that also flew over our heads, dumb as we are.


> I watch ten creators. I divide $10 per month between them evenly. They each get $1 per month.

No, they don’t. How are you magically sending them this money? They all signed up for that method? And it doesn’t charge a minimum transfer fee?

You’re unserious.


By the same method I'll be alternatively sending to YouTube.

That's not the point and you know it.


Why do you think this?


> Am I using Apple TV? No. Is it really true that they removed the truncation indicator?

Yes.


> I have zero experience with these

Then please realise your advice is completely unneeded and unhelpful.


Yes, but that leaves almost everything anyone cares about. Everything except rendering.


Extensions


Orion


So they're just Safari extensions? I.e. no uBlock origin, just some filters with the restricted API?


It doesn’t lose the tabs at the end of the tab list, for you? Tabs just disappearing after being opened is a daily issue, for me.


I often see the inverse of this - tabs I've closed spontaneously reappear in later sessions. Wish they would put a little more polish into the iOS version, but for lack of better alternatives, I still use it.


I have nearly 1000 tabs open in Orion on my iPhone and have never had this happen. If they were falling off the front of the list I'd still notice the count going down.


I never have more than a few tabs open, so I don't see that.


> they've been powering through the five stages of grief in coming to terms with that

If only! They trashed their reputation by lashing out at their own misapprehensions.


It’s my experience that humans are far, far, far more trustworthy about their limitations than LLMs. Obviously, this varies by human.


> Typst seems to be a cloud based solution with monthly fees?

In the exact same way that git is: it isn’t, but one easy way to use it is.
