Squarespace advertises a lot too, probably more than GoDaddy nowadays, and they are also a domain registrar. Maybe GoDaddy just sells themselves better? I see Squarespace as kind of an amorphous boring blob of internet business services.

So conference organizers get in on the grift while the community is robbed by whatever crypto scam/other bullshit this guy sells on stage? I guess it's fine if they also add a large and prominent "THIS GUY IS TRYING TO ROB YO

A protest like this is basically just IRL adblock. Do you not use ad blockers because of "free speech" ideology?

It's wild how a random tech millionaire can just walk into our government and start deciding how the rest of us get to live as part of a therapeutic exercise for his mid-life crisis (or whatever you call this). The way this is written

I am in the "Lua sucks" camp. I also found it weird how clunky it is to embed, but my biggest gripe is with the language itself. It just sucks, as its barely a programming language at all. Every Lua project ends up reinventing its

Ive been using it exclusively for months, and while I do like it, I ended up turning off predictions because of how bad they were. The swipe typing feature is also pretty bad, which is my biggest gripe with it since I love typing like that.

I thought the exact same thing, especially considering how bare bones the site/app is. It's as if someone rushed to turn that into a subscription-based app as quickly as possible. I wouldn't even be surprised if the app itsel
