I recommend hosting yourself to see exactly what “admins” have to go through.

Should be Lemmy over piefed.

Thanks for pointing this out.

This “sign up to view” nonsense needs to end. Whoever suggested it should be tarred and feathered.

I’m glad I stopped arguing with morons.

Good luck in life.

Epic would charge Steam’s fees if they had Steam’s marketshare.

Everyone thinking they care about creators or customers is a fucking moron.

JS

Python

🤮

The distro shouldn’t matter too much, but the desktop environment will.

I recommend using KDE if you want something similar to Windows, and GNOME if you want something similar to macOS.

Using a GUI also isn’t really dependent on the DE either for most programs. It’s dependent on whether or not a GUI for it exists in the first place.

Really? I thought it was just the opposite.

Kind of weird how you’re posting this from .ml, though; one of the most propagandized instances in existence.

Patreon stopped being benevolent years ago when they changed their pricing model to exploit small donors more.

Send money directly using Monero. Avoid as much ‘overhead’ as possible.

Why? Haven’t you noticed the apple userbase is filled with morons who are proud to make rich people richer?

See? Apple users are as dumb as a sack of diapers and deserve to be taken advantage of accordingly.

That would be nice, but when Apple says “jump,” all the other businesses ask “how high?”

The world is full of morons with more money than sense.

Why does Apple feel they deserve a 30% cut?

Because they can. Time and time again, useful idiots have proven their dipshittery by sucking off the people taking them for a ride.

A main tenant of business decisions is to fuck over your customers as hard as they’re willing to be fucked. Since nobody has any standards these days, corporations make a killing.

The game is made up of dipshit players mostly working against their own interests.

What exactly does Apple think that they’re brining to the equation in order to deserve that 30?

Apple users are some of the dumbest people on the planet. Most of them will gleefully support paying more to make the company richer.

Why are those not being considered.

Because people are stupid 🤷.

Direct payments with Monero seems like the best option.

Everything else takes a cut, which they do not deserve.
