If anything, I think LJ missed a trick by not having the option of doing a double subscription (so £3.99), and saying the extra £2 gets split between the instances, weighted by the time you spend time on them.

I think I might have felt differently at a stage of my life where I didn’t have nearly as much disposable income as I do now.

Over the past few years, I’ve adopted the attitude of trying my hardest to pay for the things that I would be genuinely disappointed if they went away.

I have system-wide ad block, so the $20 or whatever for Sync actually bought me nothing other than the knowledge that if LJ decides to pack up Sync and go and work for a FAANG instead, I don’t need to feel guilty.

This attitude would be unrecognisable to my younger self.

It’s a one-time $20. It’s literally in the meme were both commenting on.

Thank god we’ve got people like you to incessantly whine about it and show how little they care by commenting about how they don’t care.

Not at all more obnoxious than the original post.

…yes. That’s exactly what they’re saying. Obviously.

How could they possibly give you a price without knowing anything about your business or the problems you want them to solve?

Also, even if they’re stupid enough to put up their tariff card for how much a Director/Manager/Associate billable hour is, they’re just going to get annoying questions about “Why does a manager need to do this rather than an associate?” as well as the “We think this will take you 7 hours - why are you quoting for 8?”.

What do you mean “what happens”?

Either the CVR and FDR survive or they don’t and the final report is written without them. Neither are indestructible and they fail or are unrecoverable in a fraction of cases.

I have been thinking this over the past week on reddit every time I see a “Lemmy/Kbin needs to sort out X, Y and Z otherwise it’s going to fail massively.” or “Lemmy/Kbin is impossibly hard to use/sign up for”. Usually with CAPITAL LETTERS and emojis.

Like… ok. I don’t think you’ll be missed with that attitude. At least for the time being.
