Even the smaller subreddits tend to have lots of groupthink. There’s usually a prevailing viewpoint on any given sub and anything contrary is downvoted to oblivion.
Maybe I’m not looking at the right subreddits though, who knows.
Legal research services (access to dockets, case text, etc.) tend to be extremely expensive. I think making that more widely available is a good thing for people with limited resources. It's kind of nuts how impenetrable the legal system is if you don't have any resources.

Was the tracking good enough to reasonably narrow it down to a single person?
I think people expect too much of the police with a lot of these tracking devices/services. I don't have any experience with AirTags, but I know Apple's Find My can narrow down the location of e.g. a lost phone to a street corner. But if you're in a city there's a decent chance that there's more than one person on that street corner. The police can't/shouldn't stop everyone there and search them. Tracking a stolen item to a house is even harder (need a warrant). And an apartment is probably impossible because I doubt the tracking is good enough to narrow it down to a particular unit.
Yeah, but wires are also a subpar user experience, period. Rolling them up to store them, untangling them to use them, getting caught on things, routing them to the device, etc. There's a reason bluetooth headphones are still popular despite the downsides.
> Apple doesn’t allow subscriptions priced at less than $0.99. Why not? What if I had a product that i wanted to sell for $0.50 a month?
I’d pay $0.50 more.
I just had the unpleasant experience of canceling a non-Apple controlled service. It sucked. Pages and pages of “are you sure you want to cancel” dark patterns.
You guys did this to yourselves with absolutely shitty customer experience. Could not care less if Apple makes things harder for you. Do not care if I pay more.
Is this a dark pattern? I'm ok with shadow bans if they're reserved for those egregiously abusive users who ruin the community for everyone else. Let them shout into the void.
> I was going to wait until the software on my pinephone was more mature but that pushed me over the edge to get power management working on my own and make sure it could make phone calls.
I guess stress is personal, because this sounds way more stressful than anything I've had to deal with on iOS! And I say that as someone who'd like to get a more open (hardware and software) phone in the future.
