For reference, on $3.99, Stripe takes ~10%, Bitcoin ~3%, Patreon ~12%, and Paypal ~15%. Apple takes nearly 30%.

Wouldn't that be a case of abusing their market position to anti-competitively protect their market share? The same thing Microsoft was sued for?

Honestly, some of those fake articles could have legitimately been written by the original Mirror. It's slightly amusing to me how they pretend like they're the beacon of truth and journalism in that article; I'd be completel

Interesting. I have a product (unreleased, still in private beta) that's in the privacy space. I want people to know I care about their privacy, and that absolutely no information is given to third-parties. What's the best way I

I agree, I too think merges are kinda weird, but maybe it's just you and me having a different mental model. I like small, atomic commits that do just one thing. I frequently rebase onto master whenever I'm working on a feature. W

The best part is, you don't even need to use the 50c to actually find out who paid. You can just make up a name :D New SaaS idea: verify that the parent comment is actually finding it out for you for a fee (for obviously less than 49c)

For some reason, whenever I read any OpenBSD code, it looks just like code I would probably write. Maybe it's because they've kept it extremely plain and simple enough for someone who hasn't seen the code before to understand
