Nothing instills rage in me more than companies, knowing how essential what they sell is, slagging each other for petty, pointless money.
I hate to be dramatic, but these are disabled adults and children for christ's sake, people who need things like SfY. I just do not understand how someone at the litigating company thought "hey, let's go sue a company over some very complex and possibly unfounded patent allegations! Screw the people that rely on the products we're suing about, they won't mind". How dare they take away a person's ability to communicate? Tell me, is there any reasonable situation where it's acceptable to deny a child's ability to speak?
The humanity of it all :/

- monochromatic 14y ago> petty, pointless money Oh, you mean that same money that is literally the only reason that they provide these "essential" products?
- nl 14y agoOh, you mean that same money that is literally the only reason that they provide these "essential" products? That simply isn't true. I know a lot of people who work on apps similar to this, or in related fields, and money is far from the only reason they do it. Infact, I know people who literally give away their work to make sure people can use it.
- monochromatic 14y agoYes, some people do. Not, however, Prentke Romich Company. (Which is perfectly fine of course.)
- nl 14y agoExactly. Speak for Yourself don't seem to be doing it only for the money (given their prices anyway).
- Splines 14y agoThere's definitely a human component that is missing from this process.
