If I offer you a product, And we exchange money based on my offer of a product for a specific amount of time (In this case lifetime) and I change the deal afterwards, it is dishonest and unethical.
> If you've been using mIRC since 1995 and the developer has been keeping it up to date, perhaps you should be supporting them.
Why? It was part of the financial transaction at the time to have a lifetime license for the agreed amount of money provided at the time. It doesn't matter if it was $1 or $1,000,000. Changing the terms after the fact is dishonest. Full stop.
All the reasons you listed are not related to your charity at all. Basically is 1-3 and you just accidentally hit your #4 point. If it wasn't a color you liked, or you didn't need a phone, or it was more expensive, you would have not done it EVEN if it was to help.
Bro wat? This comment is basically "I'm too smart to work for this company".
Your ego will be your downfall.
There is so much I can learn from a developer, junior OR senior by just seeing how they implement something simple like that. I feel like you have a full fledged case of Dunning Kruger effect. Since you don't know what exactly they were looking for, you brush it off to "LeL, LaST pAsS so DuM aSsEsMeNt".
Treat it like the addiction it is, and you said it yourself.
Here's a copypasta from another comment I made.
Society and the easy access to indulging high caloric and straight up unhealthy food. You don't see a lot (if any) fat people in certain parts of the world where access to cheap, unhealthy, highly caloric food is not as readily available as it is in the US. The literal problem around here is "I have too much access to food, and I'm unable to stop myself from eating it".
Some people get addicted to cocaine, others to meth, heroine, others to alcohol, and others, to food (Sugar has been found to be MORE addicting than cocaine BTW). So it is an addiction problem, but because it is tabboo to tell someone they should eat that much, it becomes a hard problem to address.
They appeal to emotion, i.e. "I will be hungry, do you know how hard is to go hungry?", yeah, thats your body craving its addiction, you know how hard is to quit alcohol cold turkey? It literally can kill you, so its almost the same with food.
Someone else commented that some people lose a lot of weight, and then they gain it again 5 years down the road. Thats because the adiction won, at that point you gotta treat your food habits like an addiction. At least with alcohol and drugs, you can literally avoid it and not go near it, and still live fine. You cannot live without food so it makes the tempation of overindulging even higher.
> why is it so easy for so many people to stay a healthy weight without even paying attention to it, and for others it require constant attention and suffering?

I was sick, couldn't leave my room, all the deliveries in my area were pointing to use the doordash app since now they were a "Proud Partner of doordash". A normally $15 pizza ended up being $40 (More than double). I paid for it because I HAD NO OTHER OPTION.
Just because the price was upfront, doesn't mean they are not terrible practices that fuck their consumers.
They can rot in hell. I ordered a pizza the other day, and it went from a $15 pizza, to a $40 + tip endeavor. Fuck that. First and last time I used their service.
If dieting doesn't work, how come the procedure he's talking about is basically reducing the volume of his stomach? Sort of a "Forced" dieting if you will?
Dieting and exercise ABSOLUTELY work. Calorie deficit will make you lose weight. You can't create/add matter to your body from nothing. Every atom that your body gained in order to gain weight, came from somewhere, namely, food.
99% of the time when people say the diet didn't work, they were doing a half assed diet with "cheat" days every couple days where they down a 2,000 calorie milkshake.
Source: I used to be that guy making excuses and blaming genetics for being overweight.
In theory. The censorship i've noticed on the fediverse is INSANE. Entire instances (Usually conservative ones) getting banned just because they get the automatic label of "Racist, Homophobe, etc" even though that is not what happening in most of them. (There are some horrible instances, not denying they don't exist).
TLDR: I disliked tailwind even though I never used it, so I used it to confirm my bias, criticize it based on edge cases, so I could continue my hate towards tailwind.
Is there anything that talks about how to "recover" from this? This has been my chief complaint since I got covid back in 2020, my brain became "foggy" and I became increasingly forgetful about minor details. Leaving my keys behind often and forgetting what I walked into the room for. I'm relatively young (35) but I feel like after covid, my brain became different and IDK how to explain it, or what to do about it.
In my experience, every open source PDF Reader/Editor, is ATROCIOUS and messes up the formatting big time. I wish there was an alternative out there that was as good as adobe, but as with all of their other tools, the alternatives always leave much to be desired.
And then adobe takes advantage of that fact (Their product is second to none), and rail their customers by making their products expensive AF.
TLDR: Adobe products are AMAZING. Their pricing structure and marketing techniques and straight up disrespect to their customers is absolute garbage.
"we were 10+ years too early to market, i.e. the tech is not ready yet."
"Our diagnosis is that individual developers do not pay for tools."
"We built the most-advanced AI for helping developers, but it fell short of the 10× improvement required to break through because today’s state of the art for ML on code is not good enough."
So basically, everyone's fault but their own. Got it.
Edit: Also I want to say, that WE DO pay for stuff if it brings us value. Out of my pocket I pay for JetBrains, Github, Temius, and the SublimeText 4.
