There are very few, if any, projects big enough to be a consideration to NOT acquire an entire company.

It’s not the world we were envisioning, but to the people getting rich off us, this is exactly what they wanted.

Canon makes lots of software, so a little disingenuous to say that they are a hardware company that doesn’t get to charge for their software.

Amazing how technology has improved and matured in 50 years…

Fascinating! Computers didn’t exist before Windows or Windows XP!

No, I was already at home. That’s where I live. You have it backwards. Going to the office is the inconvenience here.

Very strange way to look at a company. By definition they are trying to make a profit.

I use an iPhone. I like the experience. It’s not my entire personality. It doesn’t define me.

You seem to want to live in a world where people are defined by their technology purchases because you believe your choices are better and it gives you a weird sense of superiority. It doesn’t, and you should really consider being less angry about it.

Excited to see what they release in the new iPhone, though. I’m sure it’ll be very usable, fleshed out features that I don’t have to deal with constantly to make work. After all, my time is my most valuable asset and it’s well worth the extra $5 or whatever a month for everything to work.

lol You seem like the last person I’d ask for help. You would lecture the person needing help the entire time.

Apple doesn’t sell phones that “need” to be fixed. You just don’t like how they work, and that’s fine. Doesn’t mean you have to show your ass any time anyone says the word “Apple”.

They also removed it after ridiculing Apple for the move.

If you are a Motorola (and I assume Android user) why do you care? I get it if you’re an Apple user and you have legitimate critiques, but you’re proclaiming, proudly, that you’re not.

Your comment comes off as envious and a massive waste of time and effort. If you don’t like Apple, what’s the point in wasting your time writing out a response about it? Just move on. Seems like there’s a little bit more to your Apple rant that just “I don’t like how Apple engineers stuff”.

Pretty sure that doesn’t matter in this instance.

They should really bundle this with YouTube TV. Their offering has gotten weak over the past year — at least for me — and a YT Premium sub for free or heavily discounted would definitely make me more interested in keeping it. Otherwise, I find it too expensive in a world where ad blocking is so easily done.

I don’t think I’m misunderstanding. Since when is an email address used as a legal form of identification? If anyone can use an email address to sign up, OP isn’t liable for that.

They’re best off reporting it and ignoring it. Unless, of course, they used OP’s payment details.

If they created the account, how did they get your payment info?

Reading the title and commenting without context strikes again!

My two cents: The copy doesn’t sound professional. I’d hire someone to assist with that immediately

I think you vastly underestimate the overlap between people visiting /r/animecatgirls and techie folks that come to HN.

That decision is made a lot easier once you've been on top five times and no matter what happens in the championship you're not participating in, everyone knows you're still the GOAT.

This thought progress is unproductive at best.

I feel that you’re being dishonest if you are saying you’re confused or don’t understand my point.

It’s really very easy to understand. When someone gives you the same crap back that you just got done giving someone, you don’t like it and act like that shouldn’t happen.

> engaged dishonestly by claiming [someone used a word they didn’t like] why should I do anything other than call them on that?

Have a great day.

OK — just don’t be surprised when people think you’re being a jerk because you didn’t like the words someone chose. I’d assert you’re acting in bad faith more than the person you responded to.

You literally went to their profile and called them out about how they should be able to understand something you’re describing as so easy to understand.

I don’t think your militant attitude helps them understand any better.

Advocating for an annoying at best, repressive and anti-worker at worst, system doesn’t make you any better than me, and your assumption I think I am some “freedom fighter” for seeing it for what it really is makes you look disingenuous.

Business owners are shirking their responsibility to pay a living wage. They’re also setting up a socioeconomic reality that pits customers against workers to absolve them of that responsibility.

Go ahead and keep advocating for tipping though, I’m sure you’re really making progress.

No?

No, really? I’d gladly pay 10%-15% more to get eliminate tipping. Tipping sucks for consumers, sucks for employees, and is rooted in the worst parts of our history.

“I don’t personally hear anyone talk about it so it’s not an issue”

Seems a little self-centered.

It’s not mandatory. Culturally, though, it’s expected so people raise a stink about it if you don’t do it.

What gets me is people/businesses that say “if you can’t afford to tip, you can’t afford to eat out”.

No. If you can’t afford to pay your workers a livable wage without tips, you can’t afford to stay in business.
